Chapter 26
Liana’s words just put Audrey in a very awkward situation. Audrey was sitting in situ on pins and
needles.
With one nce, Catherine recognized what Audrey was thinking. After all, Audrey was a weak person.
Even though she was bullied like this, she could still swallow the insult despite her rage.
Catherine put her hands into her pockets and looked coldly at Liana. Her seeminglyposed and yet
domineering demeanor just rendered the atmosphere even cooler.
Three secondster, she said in an aloof voice, “Even though she has been expelled from the Swanns,
so what? She still has the blood of the Swanns in her body. And she is the eldest daughter of the
Swanns.”
The rich always stressed seniority.
Back then, Audrey was expelled from the Swanns because of a man. It was a total disgrace to the
Swanns. However, she was the eldest daughter of the Swanns, after all. Otherwise, Korbin would not
let her enter their home.
Faced with the whole family’s gaze, Korbin had to be even-handed. He told Liana, “Make an apology to
your eldest sister.”
Liana was unhappy about this. Catherine was supposed to be punished. Why did Korbin ask her to
make an apology first?
She was about to make a fuss when Rachael stopped her.
Rachael reached out her hand to stop Liana and strangely stared at thetter. She said in aposed
yet august voice, “Liana, your daddy is right. Audrey is your eldest sister. You should make an apology
to her.”
Liana could recognize the hidden meanings in her mother’s eyes. No matter how unhappy she was,
she had to lower her head first.
She turned to look at Audrey, and there was no apologetic trace on her haughty face. She said
perfunctorily, “Sorry. I was wrong just now!”
Considering her way of apology, if she were apologizing to Catherine, Catherine would have given
Liana a beating.
Catherine would never let Liana act out in front of her.
On the contrary, Audrey epted Liana’s apology and even felt this was a bit surprising. This was the
first time Liana had apologized to her since childhood.
Audrey slightly tilted her head to look at Catherine from the corner of her eye secretly.
Initially, she thought Catherine, the second sister she had barely seen, would be kicked around. Now
as it appeared, her worry might be unnecessary.
Catherine was morepetent and tougher than she had imagined!
After making an apology, Liana immediately fixed her gaze on Catherine. “Daddy, I’m done apologizing.
Catherine has vited the rules of our family. Should she be punished too?”
“Yeah!” Korbin snorted. “Liana has a good point. Catherine, since you’ve admitted your mistake, you
will spend the afternoon contemting your mistake in front of your grandpa’s photo as punishment.
Besides, there will be no dinner for you tonight.”

“What? I must contemte my mistake and can’t have dinner tonight?” Catherine thought.
She knew that Korbin was taking this opportunity to have a go at her, but she would not ept it.
Catherine just turned around. She meant to walk past the Swanns and get out of the house.
After all, no one in the Swanns could stop her.
However, she did not expect someone to grab her wrist when she was ready to leave.
Catherine turned her head and settled her cold gaze on Audrey. She was a bit confused about
Audrey’s behavior.
Audrey seemed to have seen through Catherine’s thoughts. She had always been subservient at home
since she was little. She had long known she had no right to say no to the Swanns. So, she was
worried that Catherine would be punished due to disobedience.
“Catherine, I could not make it back when Grandpa was gone. Now I’m back. Please apany me to
Grandpa’s room so that I can pay my respects to him!”
Audrey had a hint of imploration in her eyes and looked like a helpless animal. She stared hard at
Catherine and said, “Let’s go!”
Then, Audrey just grabbed Catherine’s hand and dragged her away. Given Audrey’s strength,
Catherine could shake her away with ease.
However, somehow, Catherine suddenly had no intention of resisting Audrey and wanted to see what
on earth Audrey was up to.
