Chapter 324
Chapter 324 Their True Purpose
Catherine had just scolded Johnathan and given a little warning to the mischievous Liana. The house
had be surprisingly quiet in the past few days.
After a significant setback, Korbin was wary of picking fights with Catherine. Rachael was also busy
looking after Johnathan to keep him out of trouble, leaving her with no time or energy to deal with
Catherine.
In ss 8, the atmosphere had changed significantly. Even after ss, there were no more rowdy
noises. Students mostly sat quietly, chatting in their seats, and the chaos was a thing of the past.
Noticing that Catherine wasn’t resting or ying games, Ronin brought a chair and sat close to her.
“Catherine, did you really send Johnathan to Dentler Academy?”
Catherine casually nodded. Ronin believed sending Johnathan to Dentler Academy was a fitting
punishment, but he couldn’t help but worry.
Dentler Academy was renowned for its life-and-death waiver agreement, which required all students to
sign it. Although the chances of idental death were slim, it wasn’t impossible.
Some students suffered severe injuries, and a few even died on campus. Moreover, Johnathan was the
Swanns’ only son, and Catherine had promised Vicente to protect the Swanns.
Wasn’t she concerned about Johnathan’s safety at that school? Little did Ronin know that Catherine had
taken precautions to ensure Johnathan’s safety at Dentler Academy.
She had connections with the current headmaster and had made arrangements to protect Johnathan
from harm, ensuring he wouldn’t suffer any injuries.
Leaving Johnathan in Casier to continue his unruly behavior would have been a surer path to his
destruction. A lot of Johnathan’s rebellious behavior had been caused by Rachael spoiling him. If Dentler
Academy couldn’t straighten him out, he’d be a lost cause.
“Catherine, we haven’t signed the contract with the Winfreds yet. I’ve already sent someone to their
ce today. Once they finish signing, I’ll arrange for a team to head to South Apridon as soon as
possible. The sooner we act, the sooner we’ll get our hands on everything!”
Catherine was responsible for the big- picture nning, while Ronin handled the deployment details.
Catherinezily replied, “You arrange everything.”
As she finished speaking, Ronin noticed his phone ringing.
“Catherine, I need to answer this!”
Catherine initially paid it no mind, but as she turned her head, she noticed Ronin’s face change.
Despite Ronin’s seemingly carefree demeanor, he had been with her for many years and had matured
significantly. He was exceptionallyposed in his actions.

He wouldn’t be wearing that expression if it weren’t for something serious. Catherine stood up, walked
over to Ronin, frowned, and asked in a low voice, “What’s happening?”
Ronin ended the call and nodded at her, a rare hint of frustration visible on his face.
“Catherine, the Winfreds are going way too far. We worked hard to find their son and spent over ten
million, and now that old brat is denying it.”
Catherine didn’t need to guess. She knew something must have gone wrong when signing the contract
with the Winfreds. Her face stayed neutral as she asked calmly, “What did our people say?”
“They said the Winfreds were making excuses, clearly stalling to avoid signing the contract. I think
they’re being dishonest and want out!”
Ronin was furious. They had never encountered such a situation in all the years of doing business with
Catherine. The Winfreds had pushed their limits.
Ronin wanted to return to their base immediately, get a bunch of people, and attack the Winfreds to
make them disappear for good. In contrast to Ronin’s anger, Catherine remained calm, almost like an
observer.
“Don’t rush it. Tell our folks to return. If the Winfreds don’t want to sign, we won’t push them.”
Catherine’s response shocked Ronin. He looked at her with intense disbelief in his eyes.
“Catherine, are we just letting them off like this?”
“Hmph!” Catherine’s icy tone sent shivers down the spine.
“Don’t worry, I never make bad deals.”
Catherine’s frosty tone gave Ronin chills. Catherine’s ominous words immediately made Ronin feel much
better. He soon realized the Winfreds had made a big mistake, and when Catherine acted, they would be
in trouble!
“Hehe, Catherine, I’ll follow your lead. When the timees, the Winfreds will beg us to sign the
contract.”
Just as they finished discussing the Winfreds, Ronin’s phone rang again. The constant ringing annoyed
Ronin, and he couldn’t help but mutter, ” Who’s got time to call me every day?”
Ronin reluctantly answered and then went cold when he heard the other person’s words. After hanging
up the phone, Ronin hurriedly told Catherine, “Catherine, the Winfreds are ruthless. They took Erick to
the hospital, but they don’t n to ept him at all!”
“What do you mean?” Catherine inquired. After regaining hisposure, Ronin exined the situation to
Catherine.
If the Winfreds hadn’t rushed to take Erick to the hospital, their true intentions wouldn’t have been
revealed so quickly. Xavier was seriously ill, with both of his kidneys failing.
To survive, he needed a kidney transnt. However, the Winfreds’ two sons were unsuitable donors. The
elder son had kidney damage from an injury several years ago, and donating to Xavier would ruin his life.
The younger son was too young, and Xavier couldn’t bear to make him a donor. After his daughter’s
compatibility test, it turned out she wasn’t a match.
So, Xavier thought of his abandoned son, Erick. On the second day of finding Erick, Xavier rushed him to
the hospital.
“Catherine, Xavier is ruthless! He doesn’t even want to wait a moment! Doesn’t he realize that if Erick
donates a kidney, he’ll be in a worse condition than Jeremy?”
Catherine sensed something was off in Ronin’s words. “What’s happening? Is Erick also unwell?”
“Yeah, I checked his background. He had a kidney injury from a past fight, and it ruptured. Although it’s
healed, donating another kidney to Xavier would be hard on him. Such bad luck.”
Before Ronin could finish, he noticed Catherine had left. He hurried after her. “Catherine, where are you
going? I’ming too!”
He needed to protect Catherine and make sure she was safe.
