Chapter 75
"If you want to die, feel free to keep moving." If Katherine raised her hand a little, the silver needle in
her hand would pierce the person''s skin on the neck.
She red coldly at the woman in front of her, who was wearing a mask and sunsses.
The woman didn''t dare move, for the silver needle was held against her aorta. If it really pierced the
skin, she would bleed profusely.
"You''re lucky to be alive after all that. However, for people like you, if you keep doing bad things, you''ll
get retribution sooner orter. Katherine, I await the day you finally receive retribution!" The woman''s
voice was very cold, and it was filled with extreme hatred.
Katherine found it odd, so she reached out and took off the woman''s sunsses and hat so that she
could have a good look at the woman''s face.
It was an unfamiliar face, and she hadn''t seen it before.
The woman seemed to be in her thirties, and half of her hair had turned white. The skin on her face
was also terribly coarse, an obvious indication that she was a person who often sleptte. Not only
that, the work she did probably took a toll on her appearance.
Seeing the obvious hatred in the woman''s gaze, Katherine edged the silver needle in her hand closer.
"Who sent you? Or what grudges do you hold against me?"
"Who sent me? Hah, young mistress of the Cornell Family, don''t you find it funny to ask such
questions?" The woman looked at Katherine mockingly and spat at her.
Katherine frowned. "Speak! Have I ever wronged you?"
When the woman mentioned ''young mistress of the Cornell Family'', Katherine could make a vague
guess.
She hadn''t been here for long, and she never caused any trouble of her own ord. Rosemary was
the only one who had be famous recently, but they weren''t close.
Also, the only incident worth attention that involved the Cornell Family was the project they had signed
with the Levisay Group. Because he wanted to save on costs, Jorge cut corners and chose the worst
materials, even overlooking the workers'' safety. Katherine heard that a month ago, three workers died
at the construction site.
"Are you still faking it? What for, Katherine?! None of you Cornell goons are decent, much less you!
The Cornellsmitted such a crime, but you still defended them! I won''t let you off even if I die!" The
woman lifted her chin, moving her neck forward.
Katherine subconsciously retracted the silver needle in her hand.
She looked at the haggard woman in front of her, her emotionsplex.
This might not be the only time the Cornell Familymitted such crimes. In fact, Jorge most probably
covered those incidents up every time.
That man used the workers'' lives, blood, and sweat to slowly expand and strengthen the Cornell
Group, but he still wasn''t satisfied. He still wanted to keep using the workers'' blood to build his
business empire.
"Isn''t there someone more suited to receive your wrath? Since Jorge was the one who destroyed your
family, you should go to him. Why are youing for me?" Katherine quickly recovered herposure
and looked calmly at the woman in front of her.
"You are his darling daughter. I''ll kill you so that he can also taste the feeling of losing his family!
Katherine, you can kill me today. If not, I might—" The woman''s eyes were red as she red at
Katherine. She looked like she wanted to pounce on Katherine and bite thetter to death.
"You''re always wee to, but I''m afraid that before you can kill me, you''d be reunited with your
deceased family. You have children, don''t you? Do you want them to be orphans?" Katherine took a
step backward and looked at the woman, a mocking tone in her voice.
Hearing that, the woman instantly couldn''t hold back her tears anymore. "None of you Cornells are
human! You onlypensated ten thousand! That wasn''t even enough to make up for his wages from
before! My uncle went to the Cornell Group toin, but they broke his leg! He''s still hospitalized
now, and the Cornell Group isn''t willing to pay the hospital bill; they even want to sue us! We have no
way of surviving, so I won''t let you all survive either!"
"If I were you, I would use thew to protect myself instead of doing stupid things blindly. Look for the
person on this name card, and he''ll help you out." From her pocket, Katherine fished out a name card
with a gold stamp on it. Then, she passed it to the woman.
The woman took it, looking at Katherine in bewilderment.
Katherine was quite different from what she had imagined. Even though Katherine behaved coldly and
even mocked her, Katherine never did anything, nor did she look like she wanted to hurt her.
She could see sympathy in Katherine''s eyes.
"It''s nothing much. Jorge did something wrong, so he''ll pay for it eventually." Katherine left those
indifferent words as she turned around and left.
The ride she hailed was already here, and the driver had called her twice.
Katherine only took out her phone after walking a distance away and called him back.
The woman stood where she was, stunned. She finally got back into the car after a long while.
The woman was about to start the car when she realized that the brake wasn''t working. She stepped
on the pedal, and the car lurched forward like crazy, ramming into the divider by the road.
Katherine had just walked not more than a hundred yards away when she heard themotion behind
her. By the time she paused in her tracks and turned to look at the car, smoke was alreadying out
of its hood.
She instantly guessed that someone wanted to silence the woman.
She hastily ran back toward the Audi that had run into the divider. She pulled open the car door with
great effort, then rescued the woman from within.
Blood…
The woman was covered in blood.
That scene reminded her of when her mother died.
It was the same; her mother was covered entirely in blood.
Back then, her mother gripped Katherine''s hand tightly, telling her to leave with her brother and to take
good care of him.
After that, her mother closed her eyes, never to open them again.

Katherine suppressed the emotions in her heart and hastily took out the silver needle she always
brought with her. She sealed the woman''s major acupuncture points and managed to stop the bleeding
for a moment.
Ruby Murphy was close to death then. When she saw Katherine, who saved her without much of an
expression, she suddenly smiled. It was a terrible-looking smile.
Katherine grabbed her wrist and took her pulse. If she wasn''t sent to the hospital soon, the woman
would definitely die.
This woman suddenly appeared here and tried to kill her, so someone was probably in control behind
the scenes.
Katherine then took the woman into the research institute, her face grave.
When Dina saw Katherineing back with someone covered in blood not long after she left, he was
about to say something when Katherine cut him off. "Ready the operating room."
After a surgery thatsted five hours, Katherine finally saved the woman''s life that was hanging by a
thread.
When Ruby opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Katherine. When she realized that the
woman had saved her life, she was astonished.
She looked at Katherine in remorse as she said weakly, "It was a woman. She told me that if I wanted
to take revenge on Jorge, I only needed to kill you. If you died, Jorge wouldn''t have someone to
depend on, and he''d definitely get his retribution. Miss Cornell, I''m really sorry. I treated you like that,
but you still saved me."
Kathrine slightly raised her eyebrow. "A woman?"
"Yes. She looked quite young, but she wore sunsses and a mask. Right, I think she wore branded
clothing, so she must be very rich," Ruby answered earnestly while nodding.
Katherine was deep in thought, silent.
Ruby recalled the events in as much detail as she possibly could before suddenly speaking up. "Oh,
there was also a mole on her earlobe."
