Chapter 606 The Truth
Outside the hospital room, Liana was bawling her eyes out. Rhys had just broken the news of Korbin’s passing. Audrey slumped to the floor and looked utterly lost.
Hearing the news, Rachael rushed over.
After she learned of her husband’s passing, she couldn’t contain her sorrow and broke down in tears. But soon after, she stormed toward Catherine and was ready to hit her as if she’d lost her mind.
If not for someone holding her back, she would have already hit Catherine.
Rachael was completely disregarding decorum at this point. She shouted furiously, “Catherine, you’re a jinx! You’ve caused this. You killed your father. It’s all because of you. You’re nothing but trouble!”
Hearing Rachael’s harsh words, Branden reached out to cover Catherine’s ears.
However, Catherine gently pushed his hand away. Branden realized that she had her own plan and ceased his interference.
Catherine took a slow step forward and stood in front of Rachael.
She looked at Rachael coldly. Her intense gaze and the chilling presence made Rachael apprehensive.
With a signal from Catherine, Paxton released Rachael.
Even unrestrained, Rachael dared not harm Catherine. She was fully aware of Catherine’s cunning and power.
Rachael shouted, “Catherine, what? Feeling bothered by touching a nerve? Let me tell you. You’re a complete jinx. You bring bad luck to your parents.
Anyone who’s with you ends up cursed to death by your presence!”
Catherine chuckled coldly and then replied, “Anyone who’s with me ends up cursed to death? What about you?”
Catherine lowered her gaze. With an eerie look in her cold eyes, she uttered cutting words, “Then why aren’t you dead?”
“You…” Rachael faltered with anger and was unable to retort.
Liana couldn’t stand any longer. After rushing over, she embraced Rachael and shot a furious glare at Catherine.
She shouted, “How could you speak to Mom like that? Dad’s just gone, and you’re acting this way. You’ve crossed the line, Catherine.”
Catherine coldly assessed her and didn’t want to have further conversation.
She said, “Speak out your terms!”
Liana looked at Catherine with surprise. She was puzzled by Catherine’s ability to anticipate their intentions.
After her father’s incident, she contacted her mother immediately, while Audrey reached out to Catherine.
After a silent exchange with her mother, Liana understood her intentions and spoke up.
She said, “Catherine, now that Dad’s gone and we’re left alone, I believe you should give what belonged to Dad and Mom’s share to Mom. Regardless, Dad was Grandpa’s only child. He should inherit the Swanns’ assets.”
Catherine nodded and crossed her arms. She raised her head and looked down at them. “I get it now. You want money.”
Her disdainful gaze made Liana feel defeated.
Enraged, she exclaimed, “Catherine, what’s your point? Aren’t you planning to give the money? You are so unfilial!”
“Unfilial?” Catherine laughed as if hearing a joke. Then she turned to gaze at Liana with interest. “Compared to you, I couldn’t possibly carry that label! 11
This attitude pushed Liana over the edge. “Catherine, what do you mean? Spit it out! What’s with this cryptic behavior?”
Catherine didn’t like keeping things under wraps either. Since Liana asked her to spit it out, she decided to reveal the truth.
She replied, “Liana, you even dared to kill your own father. You’ve got some nerve!”
