Chapter 287
Catherine hadn’t even entered the ssroom when Liana blocked her at the door. Liana seemed to be
waiting for her here deliberately. Catherine arched her eyebrows and cast a cold, curious gaze upon
Liana.
“Is there any problem?” she asked. Liana stared at Catherine with a strong hint of dissatisfaction and
resentment in her eyes. “Catherine, how could you speak to our grandparents like that yesterday? Do
you not have any respect for your elders?”
“Humph!” Catherine sneered, her clear and bright eyes filled with a hint of mockery as she looked at
Liana. “So you are here to use me?”
“You treated your elders this way. Can’t I even ask about it?” Liana justified her argument fiercely. After
returning home yesterday, she felt uneasy all night and came to school early this morning to confront
Catherine.
Facing Liana’s arrogance, Catherine approached her slowly with a slight smirk and responded in a low
voice.
“Have you thought this through? Are you sure it’s not because I exposed that you came in second at the
school celebration g in front of everyone?”
Liana never expected that Catherine would see through her inner thoughts. She took a step back,
widened her eyes, and looked at Catherine in astonishment. In those big eyes, there was also a hint of
fear besides anger.
Liana was unexpectedly taken aback by Catherine’s urate grasp of her psychology. She was left
speechless and stunned in ce.
Seeing her action, Catherine bypassed her and went straight into the ssroom. After Catherine
disappeared, Liana finally realized it and stomped her foot angrily. She didn’t understand why she would
lose to Catherine every time.
Her eyes shed a hint of viciousness. ” I’m not just going to let it go. I’ve got other ways to deal with
Catherine,” said she inwardly. After entering the ssroom, Catherine sat down and walked directly to
her seat.
In the next second, Ronin immediately stepped forward and said, “Boss, why did your phony sister
suddenlye to you? Does she want to cause trouble again? Should I teach her a lesson?”
In the opinion of Ronin, his boss’s sister, Liana, was a ssic phony. “There was inconsistency between
her words and deeds, and she constantly schemed behind Catherine’s back.
“If it were not for her blood rtion with Boss, I would have already dealt with this deceitful woman who
is always up to something evil,” thought he.

“No need!” Catherine didn’t consider Liana a threat at all, so naturally, she wouldn’t care about Liana, nor
would she bother having Ronin make an effort to deal with Liana.
“Are we all set for the rehearsal?” Catherine asked.
“Boss, don’t worry! I’ve got the rehearsal venue and props ready for tomorrow. We have two days off.
Why don’t we go back to base!”
It had been a while since Catherine came out. Everyone was missing her. If Branden had not spoken
first, perhaps Catherine would have consented to Ronin’s request.
“I can’t. I still have something to do!”
Ronin originally wanted to ask Catherine what she was up to. However, knowing her temperament,
Ronin realized that he couldn’t casually inquire about her whereabouts, so he remained silent.
It was just a casual conversation, but one listener took it to heart. Bryan was sitting on the side, listening
attentively to the conversation between the two.
Taking advantage of Catherine going to the restroom, Bryan beckoned Ronin, who was standing next to
him with a careless and yful posture, toe closer. Ronin had never gotten along with Bryan and
always had to p back whenever Bryan talked.
“Why should I listen to you? Just because you tell me toe over, have to do it? Who do you think you
are?
Bryan couldn’t be bothered tomunicate with the fool. He rolled his eyes and said disdainfully,
Whatever, but don’te to beg meter!”
However, his attitude had caused some doubts in Ronin’s mind.
“Is there really something going on?” he wondered. Feeling uneasy, Ronin stepped forward and asked,
“What is going on? Tell me quickly.”
Just now it was Bryan who took the initiative to approach him. Now, it was his turn to beg Bryan. Bryan
put on an aloof air, ignoring Ronin. As a result, Ronin’s curiosity was piqued when he was subjected to
such treatment.
“If you’re a man, then speak up, Bryan! ” said Ronin. Bryan looked at Ronin sideways and asked, “Does
it matter if I am a man or not? What’s the deal with these two things?”
“You were just about to say it yourself, and now you’re not saying anything? That’s so unmanly!”
Ronin said with a confident and righteous expression. However, Bryanpletely ignored him, giving
him a sidelong nce and casually saying, “I’m a little thirsty!”
Ronin immediately got it. Even though annoyed, he still fetched a cup of hot coffee that he had prepared
for Catherine and handed it to Bryan.
“Sir, please have some coffee.”
After Bryan finished his coffee, he satisfactorily briefed Ronin on the situation. Finishing listening, Ronin
looked at Bryan with a face full of astonishment.
“Is what you said for real?”
“You think my info can be fake?” Bryan was looking pretty confident. If it weren’t for that joker Triston
constantly showing off, Bryan wouldn’t even know that this dude bought an entire ind.
“As if afraid that others wouldn’t know it, he talked about it everywhere,” thought Bryan.
With a meaningful nce at Bryan, Ronin said, “Since you seem well- informed, I shall entrust this
matter to you. Remember, you must leave a spot for me.”
Bryan wanted to punch this idiot unconscious. “I had initially thought of working together with both
families to find a solution, but this idiot pushed all the responsibility onto me!
“This is too much!” thought he. Liana hurried to the hospital as soon as sses were over at noon. She
arrived at the entrance of the hospital soon. The caregiver greeted Liana with a respectful and cheerful
demeanor as she saw Liana.
“Miss Swann, you really care about your brother. You are visiting him so frequently!”
Korbin and Rachael were both busy. They hardly showed up after arranging the top-notch caregiver for
their son. On the contrary, Liana, the older sister, had been quite proactive in visiting him. With a slight
smile, Liana elegantly looked at the caregiver.
“Let me chat with my brother. You can take a break. Why don’t you go for a stroll downstairs for a bit?”
asked she.
The caregiver would kill for an opportunity like this. If it weren’t for the high sry this family offered, she
would never want to serve that hot- tempered Johnathan Swann. It was truly an agonizing experience.
Hearing themotion outside the door, Johnathan thought the caregiver was returning and started
cursing instantly, “Where the hell have you been cking off? Taking so long toe back, do you still
want your job?”
“What a temper! Mr. Johnathan!” Liana’s voice was cool and full of sarcasm. Jonathan scrambled up and
saw that theer was Liana. He rolled his eyes and flopped back down.
“What brings you here? You didn’te all the way just to entertain yourself, did you?” He didn’t believe
Liana would be so kind as to visit him. Others might not understand Liana, but he did.
“Liana has always been more cunning than others since she was little. “If I were not a boy, I might have
also been isted like my eldest sister,” thought he. Facing Johnathan’s bad temper, Liana didn’t indulge
him and directly retorted back.
“What’s the point of getting angry at me? It’s not like I’ve done anything to harm you. If you have the
guts, direct your anger at Catherine!”
Upon hearing this, Johnathan was about to retort. However, as the words were about to leave his mouth,
he realized that there was something off about Liana’s statement.
His gaze fixed on Liana as he asked, ” What exactly do you mean by that?”
