Chapter 461 Picking Her Up
Ronin had just left when Liana suddenly came over. She stood in front of Catherine with her head up and chest straight, her gaze coldly looking at Catherine.
“Catherine, I need to talk to you!”
Catherine lazily rested her head on the table, motionless. Ronin gave Liana a disdainful glance. He wondered why Catherine and Liana were so different even though they were obviously siblings.
Liana and Catherine were naturally incomparable, as they could not be compared on the same level.
But compared to Audrey, Liana was still far inferior. Obviously, they were all born to the same parents. Why were they so different?
“Liana, can’t you see that Catherine is resting? You are really stupid. Hurry up and stay wherever you should stay.”
Ronin’s incessant chatter made Liana frown. She didn’t want to get into it with Ronin, but he kept chattering, and Liana couldn’t bear it.
She tilted her head toward Ronin and gave him a fierce glare.
“Can you be a little cultured? Did I talk to you? Do you have to keep chattering non-stop?”
Facing the annoyed Liana, Ronin laughed smugly, looking at Liana with a flirtatious meaning all in his eyes.
“I’m not cultured?
“Haha… You’re right. I’m not cultured. In front of a lady from a wealthy family like Miss Liana, I do look uncultured. However, I don’t know if it’s because there are many deaf people in the wealthy family or what. Obviously, no one here wants to pay attention to you, but you appear so deaf and still stay here cheekily.
“Now, I understand that this is called ‘ cultured’!”
Liana couldn’t argue with Ronin, and her face turned red with anger.
She could not deal with Ronin and could only go to Catherine.
“Catherine, will you just let Ronin humiliate me like this? Is this what you want?
“You…”
Before she could finish her words, Catherine suddenly looked up.
Her icy, cold eyes fell straight on Liana.
With a cold and domineering look in her sharp gaze, Catherine frightened Liana so much that she froze on the spot, unable to speak. Catherine frowned impatiently and responded to Liana lazily, “Did I ask you to stay here?”
Ronin, who was sitting by the side, immediately chimed in, “Yes, you even dare to blame Catherine. It’s clearly you who stay here cheekily, disturbing Catherine’s rest.
“Miss, the exams are coming up. Can you please not disturb others’ studies? Can’t you see that Catherine is still meditating?
“Just leave and get lost, okay?”
Liana initially approached Catherine to talk about family matters, but she didn’t expect that to happen.
However, she no longer wanted to talk to Catherine about it anymore. She felt that Catherine was deliberately humiliating her, giving her no chance to speak up.
This jinx was really disgusting.
She completely hated Catherine now.
She stared fiercely at Catherine, her eyes filled with hatred.
“Hmph, continue your meditation. I’ll see how well you can do in the exams then!”
A person who hadn’t studied for over half a month still wanted to do well in the exams? Liana didn’t believe Catherine had the strength.
Liana left in a fit of anger after she said those harsh words. Ronin laughed proudly. Liana seemed to be unable to understand normal communication, so he had to use this method to drive her away.
“Catherine, do you think Liana would do something bad behind our back? How about I arrange for someone to teach her a lesson?”
It was too easy to deal with Liana. It was just a matter of whether or not it was necessary. Catherine waved her hand casually and refused Ronin’s proposal.
“She doesn’t have the ability!”
She knew Liana’s intentions. Liana might have received rumors about Korbin’s funds, so she came to question her.
Unexpectedly, Liana didn’t even have the chance to bring it up because of Ronin’s stir-up. Catherine had said long ago that for Vicente’s sake, as long as Liana behaved herself, she could continue to be the wealthy lady of the Swanns, enjoying everything she currently had.
However, if Liana didn’t behave herself and ruined her own future, she could only have herself to blame.
As soon as school ended, Ronin quickly picked up his small backpack and approached Catherine’s side with an attentive face.
“Catherine, let me drive you back!”
After saying that, he didn’t forget to add, “I drove my car today. I didn’t ride a bike!”
Catherine braced herself on the table with one hand, her eyes casually falling on Ronin. “Do you have a driver’s license?”
Ronin proudly took out his driver’s license from his pocket and waved it in front of Catherine.
“When you went out on business last month, I took my driving tests. I passed all the tests in one go. It’s awesome, right?”
Looking at Ronin’s striking face, Catherine’s emotions toward him changed slightly.
“Yes, it’s awesome.”
“Come on, Catherine. I’ll drive you back!”
Ronin was so active that Catherine had no intention of rejecting him. The two of them walked toward the school gate together.
Just as they arrived at the school gate, Ronin suddenly stopped, and his face darkened, looking very gloomy. Sensing something strange, Catherine followed Ronin’s gaze.
The familiar black Maybach caught Catherine’s attention, and the corners of her eyes unconsciously rose a little. Ronin felt like a doormat, looking at Catherine in anger.
“Catherine, you’re not going to take my car, right?”
Catherine glanced at him, indicating with her eyes that he was fully aware. Ronin was so angry that he wanted to hit someone and couldn’t help but mutter, “Catherine, didn’t you say that guy hurt himself all over? How could he still have the strength to come out?”
“How should I know?” Catherine shrugged and approached the car. Branden had hurt himself all over and almost couldn’t get out of bed.
However, this did not prevent him much from looking for Catherine. His wound had opened up again yesterday after he forcefully carried Catherine back from the Swanns’.
When Catherine discovered it, she scolded him, and he was obedient.
Initially, Catherine thought he would recuperate at home quietly, and Ronin also thought so, or else he wouldn’t have driven to school specifically. He had planned to drive Catherine home during Branden’s recovery period personally.
Unexpectedly, the persistent Branden still showed up.
When the car door opened, Catherine saw the man sitting in the car. Changing from his usual rigorous attire, the man wore a set of home clothes today, catching Catherine’s eye.
The man took the initiative to explain without waiting for Catherine to speak.
“Look, Kathy. I had a good rest. I’ve been lying in bed all day today, and my wounds are almost healed.”
Catherine, who had been thinking about how to teach Branden another lesson and make him remember the lesson well, immediately dispelled this idea.
She bent down and sat in the car. Branden reached out to take her backpack skillfully, kneading her hand gently, and his movements were skilled and natural, as if he had made these movements a thousand times.
“Kathy, I’ve arranged for a chef to make you dinner at home. Shall we go back for dinner tonight?”
Branden looked at Catherine inquiringly, his deep eyes filled with anticipation. Initially, he planned to cook on his own, but due to Catherine’s warning, he had to hire a chef.
He didn’t really want Catherine to go to a restaurant for meals. There were too many people who loved to pester his girl, so he had to hide her well.
The simple life made Catherine feel very comfortable, and she nodded in agreement.
The man immediately and cheerfully informed the driver in front of him to drive, and his smile was particularly contagious, causing Catherine’s mouth to curl up uncontrollably.
