Chapter 330 Disrespecting Father

Korbin looked puzzled as he held Xavier’s photo, his mind swirling with questions. From the photo, there was no doubt that the person in it was Catherine, but what worried him more was the Winfreds’ intentions.

Did it make sense to sacrifice a portion of the mining and shipping businesses for an illegitimate child?

If the Winfreds had no other heirs, Korbin could somewhat understand such a sacrifice. However, Xavier had two legitimate sons, and his wife’s family had significant influence. Allowing Xavier to act recklessly couldn’t be permitted.

Korbin’s greater concern was that Xavier might set a trap and harm the Swanns. After all, the Swanns were currently the weakest among the Four Noble Families. It’s possible that Xavier planned to use them to gain more advantages in Casier.

He gave the photo to his secretary and said, “Take a look!”

After receiving the photo, the secretary took a picture of it and sent it to someone. A few minutes later, the photo analysis results came out.

“Mr. Swann, the verification team has confirmed that the photo is real.”

Korbin fell silent for a few seconds. Then, he stood up directly and instructed his secretary, “Prepare the car. We’re going back.”

The secretary, being thoughtful, asked, “Mr. Swann, should we also call Miss Catherine to return?”

He guessed that Korbin’s quick return to the Swanns had something to do with Catherine. Korbin nodded, and the secretary immediately made the arrangements.

At the Swanns’.

The Swanns’, usually brightly lit, had been quieter lately. All the servants walked carefully, didn’t dare to make any sound. Lately, Rachael had been in a moody and unpredictable state.

As the servants, they had to be cautious. When Korbin came back and saw the strange behavior of the servants and Rachael’s absence, his expression turned serious right away. He turned his gaze to the butler and asked in a cold tone, “Where’s Mrs. Swann?”

The butler answered cautiously with his head down, “Mr. Swann, Mrs. Swann mentioned she’s not feeling great and went to her mother’s place to chill out.”

That was just an excuse. Rachael had actually gone shopping. Since Johnathan was sent away, Rachael had lost her spark. She couldn’t find the energy to hang out with her wealthy friends anymore.

She couldn’t even keep her son safe, and her daughter had sent her packing. When this news spread, people would laugh at her.

Originally, they could have kept this. matter quiet since not many people knew about it. However, Liana, in her attempt to scheme against Catherine, caused a chaos at school.

In the end, she made a fool of herself, and Catherine turned the tables, making her the laughingstock of everyone. This also exposed the fact that Johnathan had been sent away.

Now, the entire upper-class circle in Casier knew that nobody in the Swanns could handle Catherine, the jinx who had returned from the countryside.

Even their most precious son was sent to Dentler Academy because of Catherine. Rachael had become a joke, and she didn’t want to face people outside anymore.

She spent her days venting her anger through excessive shopping. Liana, knowing she had made a mistake, didn’t dare to provoke her mother again.

The most pitiful ones were the servants, who had to endure Rachael’s unpredictable temper every day. Korbin’s first reaction was to curse Rachael, but after some thought, he changed his attitude.

He calmly told the butler, “Never mind, she’s been in a bad mood these days. Let her be.”

Then he added, “When Catherine returns later, bring her to me.”

The butler nodded respectfully and sighed in relief, “Copy that, Mr. Swann.

Soon, the guards said that Audrey had brought Catherine back. This time, the butler immediately had someone brought them in. Audrey had received a call from Korbin’s secretary, telling her to bring Catherine back right away.

Audrey rarely encountered such situations and thought something big had happened, so she promptly contacted Catherine.

Originally, Catherine didn’t want to come, but Audrey insisted. In reality, Korbin’s secretary didn’t have Catherine’s contact information and had no choice but to contact Audrey.

The two hurried back to the Swanns’, and Audrey walked in with Catherine, not forgetting to reassure her, “Kathy, don’t worry. I’ve got your back. If Dad. and Mom give you a hard time, then we will leave!”

Audrey also knew the situation with her parents and was concerned that Catherine might be mistreated. Catherine, with a cold expression and without saying a word, followed behind Audrey as they entered the house.

In the living room, they saw that only Korbin was there. The room looked quite empty. Rachael and Liana were nowhere to be found, and the atmosphere in the living room felt unusually eerie.

Seeing Catherine and Audrey enter, Korbin slowly lifted his head, took his cigar out of his mouth, and cast a cold gaze on them.

“You’re here. Have a seat.”

Audrey took the initiative to ask Korbin after sitting down.

“Dad, is it just you at home?”

“Hmph,” Korbin responded curtly, his attitude cold, as if he didn’t want to answer that question.

Audrey felt a bit awkward and remained silent.

Korbin shifted his gaze to Catherine. “I heard you know people from Hacker Alliance. What’s the situation?”

Catherine’s attitude was even colder than Korbin’s. She remained silent. Korbin thought she hadn’t heard, so he asked again. However, Catherine still didn’t say anything.

Now, Korbin was getting angry.

In Korbin’s mind, Catherine’s behavior was more than just disrespect; it was ignorance. He frowned and stared at Catherine with an annoyed look. “Are you deaf or mute? Why aren’t you answering my question?”

Catherine didn’t hold back and gave him a straight look, countering, “What about you then?”

Korbin got what Catherine meant. She was blaming him for not answering Audrey earlier. Well, she was really stubborn. Korbin could feel anger building up, but he tried to keep his cool and said to Catherine, “I’m your father. Do you understand?”

Catherine just responded with an indifferent “Ok.”

Her attitude made Korbin even more furious.

He had never met someone so disrespectful. Unfortunately, he didn’t know how to handle her. As tensions rose, Audrey stepped in to mediate. “Dad, Kathy, let’s have a calm conversation. Don’t get upset.”

Korbin used his eyes to signal Audrey, encouraging her to persuade Catherine. Audrey had to follow her father’s request and asked Catherine, “Kathy, do you know what the Hacker Alliance is? Have you heard of it?”
