Chapter 63
Korbin had been aware of Johnathan’s presence at the Swann Corporation from the moment. he
stepped in. He knew his son had a vtile temper. However, with everything he had been dealing with
since his father’s passing, he had no time to pay attention to Johnathan.
Despite hearing rumors about the brat’s behavior, he couldn’t be bothered by it. He believed
Johnathan’s visit would cause trouble for Catherine and put her in her ce.

Little did he expect to hear about the beating. The news shocked him, and he found it hard to believe.
He knew Catherine was bold, but would she seriously dare to beat Johnathan in thepany publicly?
He dropped everything and rushed to Catherine’s office, only to be met with a scene that left him
astounded.
Catherine had indeed beaten Johnathan and had not held back.
Even in his presence, Catherine’s expression remained cold and unchanged, showing no signs of
emotion.
In Korbin’s eyes, her behavior was deeply disrespectful towards him.
Catherine had crossed a line, and he feltpelled to teach her a lesson and assert hist authority.
Korbin’s cold gaze fixated on Catherine as he emitted an intimidating aura that sent shivers. down
everyone’s spines.
“Catherine, why did you beat Johnathan?”
Facing Korbin’s anger, Catherine maintained her calmposure as she responded coldly and
emotionlessly, “He asked me to do it, and I granted his wish.”
The bystanders struggled to contain theirughter at Catherine’s blunt response.
Catherine raised an eyebrow and nced at Leonel, who understood her intention and stepped.
forward to testify on her behalf. “That’s correct, Mr. Johnathan requested Miss Swann to whip him. I
witnessed the entire incident.”
Not only did Leonel testify, but he also involved Linda.
“Linda can confirm this too!”
Linda stared at Leonel. “Humph, this cunning old fox wants to drag me into this drama,” she thought.
However, she spoke up, as she found Johnathan extremely annoying.
“Yes, Mr. Swann. It’s true that he asked Miss Swann to whip him. I can vouch for that.”
Korbin looked at the two skeptically and sized them up.
It was already disconcerting enough that Leonel was supporting Catherine, but now even Linda was
aligning herself with her?
Korbin had attempted to win Linda over with various incentives, but she had always refused.
Now, she openly sided with Catherine in front of everyone. It seemed like a deration of loyalty.
Korbin’s expression grew increasingly sour as he realized he may have underestimated Catherine in
the past. If he didn’t handle her properly now, she could be a problem in the future.
He intended to seize this opportunity to put Catherine in her ce.
“Catherine, even if Johnathan said some foolish things, he is still your brother. Don’t you have an ounce
of familial love? When he asked you to whip him, it was meant as a joke. How could you go so far as to
batter him like this? As the leader of the Swann Corporation, shouldn’t you possess even a shred of
compassion?”
That was a serious usation by Korbin.
Despite the gravity of the usation, Catherine regarded Korbin with cold indifference,cking any
respect for him.
“Because he is my family, that was why I hit him. Otherwise, the consequences would have been much
harsher.”
Korbin’s face turned red with anger as he red at her, his eyes widening in disbelief.
“Tell me, what did he do to deserve such a severe beating from you? If it was about the one- million-
dor advance he took, you could have informed your mother or even me. Do you think we are
incapable of teaching our son?”
“What if he jeopardized thepany’s interests?” Catherine responded coldly, her gaze piercing into
Korbin. “There are rules, Mr. Swann. If an employee of the Swann Corporation. damages the
company’s interests, should we send them home and ask their parents to educate them?”
Korbin’s face grew increasingly gloomy as he stared at her. “Catherine, do you have evidence?
Johnathan isn’t even an employee of the Swann Corporation. What makes you think he poses a threat
to thepany?”
Upon hearing Korbin’s doubts, Catherine turned around, opened herputer, printed a document,
and handed it to him.
Suspicion clouded Korbin’s expression as he cautiously took the document, quickly scanning its
contents.
The documentprised several pages, and as Korbin’s eyes skimmed through the first page, shock
washed over his face, soon reced by anger.
Observing Korbin’s reaction, Catherine understood what was going through his mind.
Even if Korbin had been present in the office today, she had no intentions of holding back when it came
to Johnathan.
She spoke coldly, “Mr. Swann, Johnathan came to my office and demanded that I reinstate hist uncle’s
position in thepany. To prevent any future implications, usations of collusion, or corruption
involving him and Johnathan, I had no choice but to act as I did.”
Korbin stared at Catherine, his grip on the documents growing tighter. The excessive force. turned his
fingertips white.
These documents provided evidence of the corruptionmitted by Johnathan’s uncle, Bruce Lang.
Only a few could resist the temptation of embezzling money in the position of finance manager.
However, Korbin hadn’t expected Bruce to have the audacity to embezzle such a substantial amount
for personal gain.
Furthermore, one incident urred right after Johnathan took away the one million dors.
If this information were to be leaked, Bruce would be ruined, and even Johnathan would be implicated.
Despite his shorings, Johnathan was Korbin’s only son.
He could only me Bruce, the fool, for failing to cover his tracks and getting caught.
Consequently, Johnathan had been beaten, and now he had to thank Catherine for it.
Korbin’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Catherine, nodding in agreement and altering his tone.
“You’re right. He deserved to be beaten. As his older sister, it’s your right to do so. You’re siblings, and
you should take care of Johnathan. If he doesn’t learn his lesson this time, I’ll break his legs when we
get home.”
Johnathan thought his father hade to support him, but little did he know that Korbin would utter
such words. The flicker of hope that had just ignited was instantly extinguished. Gasping for breath,
Johnathan fainted once more, unable to bear the pain.
Catherine quickly grasped that Korbin was openly and subtly reminding her of their blood rtionship,
as he feared she might take legal action against Johnathan.
Haha! How pathetic!
If she were to take action, would Johnathan even still be standing?
She had made a promise to her grandfather not to harm anyone from the Swanns unless absolutely
necessary, and she intended to keep her word.
Her gaze slowly fell upon Korbin, and a mysterious smile curled on her lips. “Father, in that case,
please handle the matter concerning Bruce.”
By addressing him as “father,” Catherine implied that the issue with Bruce could be resolved. privately.
As long as Korbin provided her with a satisfactory solution, she wouldn’t harm Johnathan.
Despite his anger, Korbin had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the situation.
“Alright, leave it to me, but I’m afraid I have to leave now!” he grumbled, turning his head with an
irritated expression.
He then scolded his assistant in a low voice, “Take Mr. Johnathan out of here!”
The assistant promptly followed orders, dragging the injured and unconscious Johnathan. along as
they exited the office, with Korbin in tow.
Linda and the others realized it was time to return to work now that the main characters had departed.
However, amidst the chaotic Swann family drama, Linda had the opportunity to witness. Catherine’s
capabilities.
It became clear that Vicente had chosen someone truly extraordinary.
Before leaving, Linda unexpectedly turned around and respectfully bowed to Catherine. “Miss. Swann,
please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything!” she offered.
Leonel couldn’t contain his excitement as he looked at Catherine. Within half a day of joining the
company, she had managed to win over Linda, the most challenging employee at Swann Corporation.
Catherine truly lived up to her reputation.
It was clear that she was destined to lead the Swann Corporation.
