Chapter 110 Great Acting
The incident reached the end for the time being, but Kate had indeed vexed Cindy. All people decided to return to where they lived because of the incident.
Catherine slowed to a walk behind the crowd with Elliot beside her. She stared indifferently ahead and said coldly, seeming like she was talking to herself, “You saw me. Why didn’t you tell them about it?”
Catherine knew Elliot was behind her when she did it, but she did not care. She did not need a reason or fear to make her move. Elliot gave a mischievous chuckle upon hearing Catherine’s question.
“I didn’t tell them what I’d seen in the morning either.” Kate tripped Audrey when they were having breakfast. Elliot saw it, as well as Ryan.
Elliot had not bothered to say anything then, but he did so now. Kate brought down Audrey, and Audrey’s sister got Kate to choke on the seawater. It was fair.
Elliot was an outsider. Why bother caring? He did not have a whole day for it. Elliot added the last sentence only because Kate had been annoying, and he wanted to teach. her a lesson. They went back to the room, and Audrey was still indignant. She sat on the bed in a huff.
“Why is Kate so hateful? She probably has done so many awful things that she met devils in the water. She even tried to frame you? I can’t believe she did that!”
While Audrey was still chattering in rage, Catherine leaned against the sofa and closed her eyes in weariness. She said casually, “I did it.”
“Kate is…” Audrey went on complaining but paused when hearing Catherine’s words.
She jerked her head back, her eyes popping at Catherine out of shock.
Catherine was expressionless. She was still distant. If it weren’t for Catherine’s weariness that made her look human, Audrey might think her sister did not belong to this world.
Seeing Catherine like that, Audrey seemed to understand something.
She checked her earphones and made sure they were all off. Then, she closed the door
cautiously.
Audrey was not rest assured. She even sealed the chinks in the door with some cloth.
Catherine leaned against the sofa and watched Audrey’s childish actions. She did not react.
After doing everything to guarantee their privacy, Audrey sat close to Catherine and whispered, “Kathy, did you mean it? It really was you? You’re amazing!”
Raising her brow, Catherine looked sideways at Audrey.
Instead of the indignant look a few minutes ago, Audrey looked more like she was thrilled now.
Catherine gazed at Audrey without answering her, but Audrey did not think it was a problem.
All Audrey was thinking was how incredible Catherine was. She sorted Kate out without being caught. That was brilliant.
Audrey was on cloud nine and forgot that she was hurt.
Seeing Audrey jump up abruptly, Catherine frowned and grabbed Audrey’s arm quickly.
Audrey had a pained expression and wanted to ask Catherine why she had grabbed her.
She turned her head only to see Catherine staring at her sharply with a grim face. “Do you want to lose your arm?”
It took Audrey a second to react.
She looked down at her inflamed arm with blisters and realized what Catherine meant.
Audrey could have hit the arm of the sofa just now.
It was a rattan sofa, not the soft leather sofa in their house.
If she hit her arm on it, she would be in great pain even if she did not lose her arm.
When Audrey saw the injuries on her arm, she realized another thing.
Catherine was remote but would not attack people unless she had to.
It was not that she could not do so, but she had no interest in most things or people in the world.
She attacked Kate today, probably because Kate hurt Audrey.
After thinking it through, Audrey was even more excited.
“Kathy, you kicked Kate’s ass for me, didn’t you?”
Catherine glanced at Audrey. The sarcasm in her eyes sent a chill down Audrey’s spine, and Audrey shrank her neck automatically.
After spending time with Catherine, Audrey was not as fearful of Catherine as she used to be.
Her panic faded soon. The next second, Audrey returned to her excited state.
“Kathy, I’m so lucky to have you as my little sister. You’re great! My horoscope said I wouldn’t have a romantic encounter today but might meet my guardian angel. Kathy, it’s you! You’re my lucky star! You’re my angel!”
Audrey repeated her words and emphasized how lucky she was.
Catherine was too tired and wanted to ignore Audrey, but Audrey’s words replayed in
Catherine’s mind like a spell.
“Kathy, you’re my lucky star!”
“Kathy, you’re my angel!”
Catherine thought, “Aren’t I the jinx?
“Why did I become a lucky star and an angel? Audrey must be the only one who thinks so in the whole family.”
Something suddenly struck Audrey, and she cried out in panic.
“Oh no!”
Catherine knew how dramatic her sister was, so she remained calm and asked flatly, “What?”
Audrey had a look of terror in her eyes as she looked at Catherine.
“Kathy, Elliot entered the water with you. He must have witnessed you, right? Why didn’t he report us? Is he planning to threaten us with it?”
Catherine did not want to answer Audrey’s questions. She knew Vicente was prudent and would never raise children not related to him by blood. Otherwise, Catherine would have dragged Audrey to have DNA kinship testing with their siblings.
Catherine could not understand why Audrey had nothing in common with Liana since they shared the same parents.
Catherine remained silent, and Audrey’s imagination ran wild. She scared herself out of her
wits.
“Kathy, what should we do? I really think that…”
Catherine was getting a little sick of Audrey dwelling on this. She turned her head sideways and cast a cold glance at Audrey.
This time, Audrey was terrified and shut her mouth right away.
Catherine was even scarier than their grandfather when she was angry.
Audrey dared not disturb Catherine again, but anxiety still lingered in her mind and showed on her face.
Catherine hated people for procrastinating and being dramatic, especially Audrey’s character.
If facing someone other than Audrey, Catherine would throw the person out and never let that person have a chance to show up in front of her again.
However, she tolerated Audrey, which she could not understand.
A few minutes later, Audrey was still immersed in her imagination.
Catherine could not help but say, “You’ll be a pretty good actress, you know?”
Audrey was confused. She raised her head and gazed blankly at Catherine, not understanding what she meant.
Catherine did not bother explaining to Audrey but assured her.
“You don’t need to worry about Elliot.” Even if Elliot snitched on her, Catherine knew how to deal with it. It was not necessary to worry.
Seeing that Audrey opened her mouth and was about to ask again, Catherine said coldly, ”
Don’t.”
Audrey compressed her lips in a grievance. Since Catherine reassured her, she should not be disturbed anymore.
However, Audrey thought, “You’re so harsh, Kathy.”
