    Korbin’s reaction was just what Liana wanted. She had been unhappy about Korbin’s indulgence of


    Catherine.


    Although Liana’s mother told her it was a stall tactic, she still felt unhappy.

    Now, she just wanted to find fault with Catherine so that her dad could punish Catherine. This way, she


    would feel better.


    She thought about it and looked askance at Catherine.


    “Daddy, you know what? Last night, someone sneaked out of home. I really wonder what she did. I


    thought a country girl would behave well. Unexpectedly, she turns out to be so untamed. Our family is


    not a small family. If she was photographed by some ill-intentioned journalists, who knows what kind of


    scandal our family would be involved in?


    “By then, we would be really in big trouble!”


    After saying that, Liana darted an angry look at Catherine to pour out her disgruntlement.


    However, Catherine did not panic at all. Instead, she stood in situposedly, her hands deep. in her


    pockets. She looked straight ahead coldly as if she was not the one mentioned by Liana.


    This just made Liana feel furious again.


    Gazing at Catherine with disgruntlement, Liana wished to give thetter two ps to remove the


    pretentious mask from her face.


    “Hey, Catherine, do not try to deny it. Bumpkin, I guess you don’t know our home has. surveince


    cameras, right? The cameras record everything. No way can you deny it.”


    Catherine did not care about Liana’s mor. She nced over there only to find that Rachael and


    Johnathan were waiting with a smile on their faces for Kobin to punish her.


    Yet, Audrey’s reaction was so strange.


    Catherine wondered why Audrey stared at her with a frown and a worried expression.


    Upon hearing Liana’s usation against Catherine, Korbin put on a long face. He felt that Catherine


    was too unruly. If what Liana said was true, he must teach Catherine a lesson.


    “Catherine, tell me, did you go outst night?” Korbin snapped.


    “Yes, I did,” Catherine replied unhurriedly, but she did not mean to defend herself.


    Liana was still waiting for Catherine to defend herself with an excuse so that she could p Catherine


    in the face. Unexpectedly, Catherine just admitted it on the spot.


    Did Catherine be reckless and fearless just because she was brought back from the countryside


    and thought she was thedy of a wealthy family?


    Liana felt that Catherine looked so annoying now.


    “Daddy, look at her. She has made a mistake, but she still acts so arrogantly. Clearly, she does not


    show any respect for you. She has been a total disgrace to our family.”


    After she said that, Liana waited for Korbin to punish Catherine. She could tell that Korbin was already


    mad.


    However, she did not expect Audrey to say something to sabotage her n suddenly.


    “Daddy, I think Catherine is just not used to the new environment as she just returned. So, she went out


    for a walk at night. It should not be a problem, right?”


    Everyone was instantly astonished to hear what Audrey said. It seemed that no one expected that she


    would stand up for Catherine.


    Even Catherine could not help looking at her and sizing her up.


    Liana was a bit angry. Whoever spoke for Catherine would be her enemy. “Audrey, how dare you talk


    on this asion? Don’t you know you have been expelled from the Swanns? It’s already kind of us to


    let you sit here. How can you get to talk here?”


    “You…” Audrey’s cheeks blushed as Liana dissed her.


    She had been on bad terms with Liana since childhood. Moreover, because their mom was biased


    towards Liana and hated her, her position in the Swanns was far inferior to that of Liana.


    Besides, for some reason, she was expelled from the Swanns. As a result, she was just treated like dirt


    by Liana.


    Audrey could not fight back but had to hold back her anger. She was shuddering in a rage.


    “After all, Audrey is our eldest sister. We are obliged to respect her. Liana, is this the so-called. rule of


    the Swanns?”


    Catherine’s words seemed light yet hit the nail on the head. Just now, Liana suppressed Catherine with


    rules. Now, Liana had no manners at all. Shouldn’t she be punished?


    Liana came to her senses, and instantly, her face turned pale. She cast a furious nce at Catherine


    and said, “Did I say anything wrong? She has been expelled from the Swanns. And it was her own


    decision. How can she still be a member of the Swanns?
