Chapter 320 The Winfreds
Ronin and Sean stopped arguing. Catherine noticed that Erick was staring at her with no reaction at all. Erick kept staring at Catherine without even a flicker in his eyes.
Catherine hadn’t worn a mask like last time when she came today. Her uncovered face was unbelievably beautiful. She was as beautiful as a princess in a fairy tale. Erick was completely stunned.
He had imagined countless faces behind her mask, but he had never thought Catherine would be so beautiful.
Catherine glanced at him and continued walking forward. She paid little attention to Erick. Ronin immediately followed suit. Sean reached out to pat Erick’s shoulder and teased, “Wake up, kid!”
Sean wasn’t surprised that Erick was shocked to see Catherine’s true face. After all, the first time Sean saw Catherine’s face, he had been dumbfounded for quite a while before returning to his senses.
Erick realized the situation and hurriedly lowered his head to catch up. His reddened earlobes indicated his true feelings.
The four of them arrived at Sean’s office together. As soon as they entered, Ronin began to size up Erick. He examined Erick from head to toe and scrutinized every detail.
“Catherine, is this the person the Winfreds are looking for?”
Catherine lazily nodded and spoke in a low voice, “Ronin, get me some water.”
Ronin skillfully stepped forward and opened Sean’s fridge.

After a quick glance, he frowned and complained, “Catherine, Sean has no taste. Besides some foreign liquor, there’s only bottled water in the fridge. Can’t we have something fancier?”
Sean probably used the bottled water to mix with his liquor. Sean glared at Ronin unhappily and found him too picky.
“What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong? How dare you offer this bottled water to Catherine?” Ronin’s tone clearly showed his disdain. When it came to Catherine, Sean didn’t want to argue.
“Bring it here,” Catherine shouted. Ronin reluctantly opened the bottle and handed it to Catherine.
“Catherine, you’ll have to make do with this. I’ll get you your usual brand when we return.”
Catherine didn’t mind at all. She didn’t care what she drank. As long as it was clean. Water was just for quenching her thirst.
But Ronin was overly particular sometimes. After taking a sip of water and quenching her thirst, Catherine asked Sean coldly, “Have you found the person?”
Sean knew what Catherine was asking. He said, “I paid one million dollars to retrieve him from Killian.”
Killian dared to ask for a high price. Erick’s friend didn’t seem worth much, yet Killian dared to demand one million dollars. He had quite the audacity.
Catherine had given Sean this task, and Sean couldn’t shirk it. With time running short, Sean couldn’t haggle with Killian and could only accept the hefty price.
“After the person arrives, I will arrange a job for him at a factory. As long as he works obediently, the factory will provide meals, accommodation, and a salary. His future should be secure.”
Sean was always considerate and covered all aspects of the situation. After hearing this, Catherine raised an eyebrow and looked at Erick.

“Did you hear that?”
Erick nodded and looked at Catherine with gratitude. It had previously been arranged by Killian for his friend to work in an underground money exchange, and lived a miserable life.
Now, he was rescued and given a good opportunity to live a normal life. It was more than enough.
“Thank you. I owe you 11 million dollars from now on,” Erick said. Catherine had paid ten million dollars to redeem him and one million to save his friend. Erick remembered these amounts clearly.
Upon hearing this, Ronin scrutinized Erick once again and teased, “You’ve got some backbone, huh? I bet you don’t even have one hundred dollars in your pocket right now. What will you use to repay?”
Erick looked at Ronin seriously with a fierce look. “You can trust me. I will keep my word. If I can’t, I’ll pay with my life!”
Ronin saw something familiar In Erick’s eyes. At that moment, Ronin suddenly understood why Catherine had personally intervened to save Erick.
The Winfreds were lucky to have such a determined kid. Ronin patted Erick’s shoulder and said, “Kid, you’ve got spirit. I like your determination.”
Erick remained silent and stood with a stern face. He kept looking at Catherine. Catherine suddenly spoke up and instructed Ronin, “You have half an hour to help him change his clothes, and then we’ll go out for a meal.”
Ronin never questioned the tasks assigned by Catherine. He always followed Catherine’s orders.
“Sure thing, Catherine.”
Seeing Ronin so obedient, Erick didn’t argue with Catherine. He followed Ronin and left.

Catherine wanted to tell Sean that because he was not worthy. But out of consideration for their years of friendship, she held back.
“I paid ten million dollars,” she replied.
Sean thought about it and found it reasonable. The black market was full of kids like Erick. Although Erick did seem a bit different, he didn’t seem worth ten million dollars.
“Cassie, why did you buy him? What did the Winfreds promise you?”
Sean only knew that Catherine had bought Erick to make a deal with the Winfreds. Sean was unaware of the specific trade that Catherine intended to conduct with the Winfreds. He didn’t dare to inquire without Catherine’s permission.
The outside world believed that the young heir of the Scotts was the mastermind of the black market. However, they didn’t know that the true leader behind the scenes was this beautiful girl in front of Sean. It would be hard to believe.
However, this seemingly harmless, beautiful girl was not only the biggest boss behind the black market but also the most formidable boxer in the black market.

Her impressive record of 108 undefeated matches had firmly secured her position as the top figure in the black market. Actually, it was 109 matches now.
For Erick, she had won another match yesterday. Catherine had no intention of keeping it from Sean. She was just too lazy to explain.
“Erick is Xavier’s illegitimate child. The Winfreds posted the information publicly online. Whoever finds Erick and brings him back will be rewarded with the mining rights to a rare metal deposit that the Winfreds acquired in South Apridon.”
Hearing Catherine’s explanation, Sean was secretly surprised. He said, “The Winfreds are investing heavily in this kid.”
They went to great lengths for an illegitimate child. It was pretty extraordinary.
After all, Xavier had his own legitimate children. Xavier had two sons and a daughter. The family’s succession wasn’t in jeopardy.
