Chapter 342


    Chapter 342 Afraid Catherine Might Dump You


    “Brat, don’t push it!” Sean raised his leg and kicked the chair Erick sat on. Erick turned around and


    red at Sean with his cold and sharp gaze as if he would skin Sean alive if he could.


    Even someone ruthless like Sean was taken aback by that look. Erick might look weak and thin, but he


    was like a wolf pup. He could be fierce and ruthless if he were provoked.


    Sean would never risk his safety to deal with someone like Erick unless necessary. Since he could not


    deal with Eric the hard way, he could only negotiate with him.


    “Hey, although Catherine did sing well, aren’t you bored listening to the cuts of her singing hundreds of


    times? Can you please y something else?”


    Erick had gotten the information from somewhere that Catherine was joining thepetition on a live


    broadcast show.


    So, he woke up early and sat before the television, waiting for Catherine’s turn to perform. After


    Catherine performed, he closed the live broadcast and cropped the part where Cathrine sang, ying it


    countless times in a loop.


    Most importantly, he watched the video countless times. Others might even think he was trying to look for


    something through the video.


    Erick nced at Sean coldly upon hearing his question. Ignoring Sean, he continued to watch the


    performance seriously.


    Sean did not know what to say. He had no idea why Catherine left this boy at his ce. His ce was


    turning into a shelter for people experiencing homelessness.


    Sean understood that if he continued pestering Erick, Erick might fight with him. So, Sean decided to


    seek another approach and called Catherine to ask her to deal with this matter. Meanwhile, Korbin was


    in his vi. His assistant was reporting thetest information he got to him.


    “Mr. Swann, Erick is now in the ck market. He is being held captive by the boss of the ck market.”


    Korbin puffed the cigar and spoke in his hoarse voice. “Is this information urate?”


    The secretary handed a few blurry pictures to Korbin. Although unclear, he could still see that the young


    man in the photos was Erick.


    “No wonder we failed to find him even after searching Casier inside out. So, he is now in the ck


    market!” A sinister smile appeared on Korbin’s face. He seemed to be confident about getting Erick.


    “Send these photos to the Winfreds. Ask Xavier to look for us if he needs us.”


    The assistant was efficient and immediately sent the Winfreds the photos. When Xavier received the


    photos, he sent a precious gift to the Swanns to express his gratitude on the Winfreds’ behalf.


    The Winfreds were not as powerful as the Swanns in Casier. Although Xavier knew Erick was in the


    ck market, he could not get Erick out of that ce. They still had to rely on the Xavier family’s help.


    The assistant told Korbin the information he brought back from the Winfreds, “Mr. Swann, the Winfreds


    had sent over the document. The nning department had checked it, and they had discussed the


    details. The Winfreds intend to ask for our help to get Erick out. If we can hand Erick over to them, they


    would sign the contract, and the deal would be done!”


    Korbin squinted his eyes as he looked at the document before him. A glimpse of malicious intent shed


    across Korbin’s sharp eyes.


    “Xavier is cunning. He had nned everything well and left no room for us to take advantage of him.”


    “Mr. Swann, what should we do about this? Should we agree to the Winfreds’ request?” asked the


    assistant.


    “Of course. Why can’t we agree? Arrange someone to get Erick out of the ck market, no matter what,”


    said Korbin, giving a new order.


    “Noted.” The assistant nodded and went to make the arrangements. Catherine had just arrived at the


    barbecue shop when she received Sean’s call,ining to her about Erick in a long-winded manner.


    It made her frown. She snapped coldly. “Cut it short.”


    Sean, who had wanted to tell Catherine his grief andints about Erick, immediately stopped


    comining once he heard Catherine’s cold and impatient voice.


    He went straight to the point. ” Catherine, can you please take this brat away with you? My ck market


    is turning into a homeless shelter now.”


    Before Sean could continue his request, Catherine cut off the call. She disliked it when Sean was whiny.


    After hanging up the call, Catherine got back into the private room.


    Looking at her walking in, Branden pulled the chair for her to sit naturally. Catherine’s empty bowl was


    again filled with her favorite grilled food.


    The meat in her bowl was still hot. It seemed that he had just grilled it for her. Catherine looked at the


    man beside her. His beautiful eyes were looking at her with anticipation. That melted her heart and made


    her less irritated. Even her puckered eyebrows loosened.


    The man smiled upon seeing her, and his gaze on her eas gentle. His soothing and deep voice sounded


    gentle as he spoke, “Have some more barbecued meat before it gets cold.”


    Triston, sitting opposite them, was stunned. He subconsciously wanted to fork the hot meat and eat it,


    yet the hot meat almost burned him. To prevent being embarrassed, Triston endured the pain and


    swallowed the meat.

    He felt aggrieved that he had to see the couple acting lovey-dovey and even got burned by his favorite


    barbecue.


    It made him realize he should not be there with them. He regretted having this meal with them. After


    dinner, Catherine left the barbecue shop with Branden and Triston. Just as she left the shop, her phone


    beeped.


    It was a message.


    Catherine looked at the message and let go of Branden’s hand. Branden noticed it and looked at her in a


    puzzle. He asked curiously, “Do you have something to deal with?”


    “Yes.” Catherine nodded. She was about to leave. Then, she stopped as if she had just remembered


    something. She turned around and looked at Branden, promising. “I’ll tell you about thister when I get


    back.”


    Branden’s displeased face calmed down instantly, and his gaze was softer.


    “Okay. Call me when you are done. I’ll pick you up.”


    “Okay!”


    After Catherine left, Triston quickly approached Branden, wanting to gossip. “Mr Duncan, Catherine has


    left just like that. Aren’t you going to ask what she is going to do or where she is going? Aren’t you afraid


    she might dump you and run away? After all, she is young and beautiful…”She was even cool. Many


    guys like girls like her.


    Triston did not tell Branden everything on his mind because Branden had already red at him when he


    praised Catherine for being beautiful. That gaze was so scary that Triston was rmed.


    “Please don’t misinterpret my words. I am just concerned.”


    Branden snorted as he nced at Triston coldly. He said in disdain, ” Only those useless men would be


    afraid of losing their girlfriends.”


    Then, he got into the car without looking back. Just as he closed the door, Paxton drove off. Only Triston


    was left standing before his shop in a daze. After a few seconds, he realized he had been mocked.


    Branden was indicating he was a useless man.
