Chapter 25 Never Mean to Deny It

Korbin’s reaction was just what Liana wanted. She had been unhappy about Korbin’s indulgence of Catherine.

Although Liana’s mother told her it was a stall tactic, she still felt unhappy.

Now, she just wanted to find fault with Catherine so that her dad could punish Catherine. This way, she would feel better.

She thought about it and looked askance at Catherine.

“Daddy, you know what? Last night, someone sneaked out of home. I really wonder what she did. I thought a country girl would behave well. Unexpectedly, she turns out to be so untamed. Our family is not a small family. If she was photographed by some ill-intentioned journalists, who knows what kind of scandal our family would be involved in?

“By then, we would be really in big trouble!”

After saying that, Liana darted an angry look at Catherine to pour out her disgruntlement.

However, Catherine did not panic at all. Instead, she stood in situ composedly, her hands deep. in her pockets. She looked straight ahead coldly as if she was not the one mentioned by Liana.

This just made Liana feel furious again.

Gazing at Catherine with disgruntlement, Liana wished to give the latter two slaps to remove the pretentious mask from her face.

“Hey, Catherine, do not try to deny it. Bumpkin, I guess you don’t know our home has. surveillance cameras, right? The cameras record everything. No way can you deny it.”

Catherine did not care about Liana’s clamor. She glanced over there only to find that Rachael and Johnathan were waiting with a smile on their faces for Kobin to punish her.

Yet, Audrey’s reaction was so strange.

Catherine wondered why Audrey stared at her with a frown and a worried expression.

Upon hearing Liana’s accusation against Catherine, Korbin put on a long face. He felt that Catherine was too unruly. If what Liana said was true, he must teach Catherine a lesson.

“Catherine, tell me, did you go out last night?” Korbin snapped.

“Yes, I did,” Catherine replied unhurriedly, but she did not mean to defend herself.

Liana was still waiting for Catherine to defend herself with an excuse so that she could slap Catherine in the face. Unexpectedly, Catherine just admitted it on the spot.

Did Catherine become reckless and fearless just because she was brought back from the

countryside and thought she was the lady of a wealthy family?

Liana felt that Catherine looked so annoying now.

“Daddy, look at her. She has made a mistake, but she still acts so arrogantly. Clearly, she does not show any respect for you. She has been a total disgrace to our family.”

After she said that, Liana waited for Korbin to punish Catherine. She could tell that Korbin was already mad.

However, she did not expect Audrey to say something to sabotage her plan suddenly.

“Daddy, I think Catherine is just not used to the new environment as she just returned. So, she went out for a walk at night. It should not be a problem, right?”

Everyone was instantly astonished to hear what Audrey said. It seemed that no one expected that she would stand up for Catherine.

Even Catherine could not help looking at her and sizing her up.

Liana was a bit angry. Whoever spoke for Catherine would be her enemy. “Audrey, how dare you talk on this occasion? Don’t you know you have been expelled from the Swanns? It’s already kind of us to let you sit here. How can you get to talk here?”

“You…” Audrey’s cheeks blushed as Liana dissed her.

She had been on bad terms with Liana since childhood. Moreover, because their mom was

biased towards Liana and hated her, her position in the Swanns was far inferior to that of

Liana.

Besides, for some reason, she was expelled from the Swanns. As a result, she was just treated like dirt by Liana.

Audrey could not fight back but had to hold back her anger. She was shuddering in a rage.

“After all, Audrey is our eldest sister. We are obliged to respect her. Liana, is this the so-called. rule of the Swanns?”

Catherine’s words seemed light yet hit the nail on the head. Just now, Liana suppressed Catherine with rules. Now, Liana had no manners at all. Shouldn’t she be punished?

Liana came to her senses, and instantly, her face turned pale. She cast a furious glance at Catherine and said, “Did I say anything wrong? She has been expelled from the Swanns. And it was her own decision. How can she still be a member of the Swanns?

His Nanny Mate Chapter 250 By Eve Above Story

The time between Michael going to prison and Daisy’s birth were such a whirlwind of activity that the months practically flew by. Ethan and Kelly wound up being transferred to a mental health facility. I think that was better for them in the long run, as the things that they did were ultimately the result of Michael’s brainwashing. I didn’t hold any grudges against them; in fact, Edrick and I visited them on a monthly basis, and the medication and therapy that they went through seemed to be helping a bit. Of course, Kelly could never get over her obsession with Edrick. Nor could Ethan get over his obsession with me. It was very likely that they would spend years in that place, but at least we could have somewhat normal conversations with them when we went to visit. Michael, however, had no visitors and I didn’t feel the least bit bad about it. Verona eventually finalized her divorce with him, and she got most of his money as well as the house. She became the matriarch of the Morgan family, and over the next six months we went to countless wonderful parties hosted by Verona where there was no drama or fighting. It felt good to finally have a chance to enjoy attending those sorts of parties without judgment or hatred. My status as the Golden Wolf was quickly discovered by the public. There were, of course, some fringe groups who wanted me dead, but they had no way of killing the Golden Wolf now that the knife was gone. Thanks to what happened at the cliff, the future generations of the Golden Wolf would be allowed to live and continue to create peace in the world. I continued teaching at the school, and split my time with the orphanage and the Humanity’s Reach Initiative as well. I was on track to become the next headmistress at the school someday, but I still didn’t know if that was what I wanted. Countless humanitarian organizations were still begging me to work for them, and the prospect of trying something new was exciting to me. Since I continued teaching, I only volunteered for these organizations instead. On more than one occasion, Edrick accused me of doing too much and not getting enough rest. I just laughed at him because I knew that the baby and I could handle it. We had been through so much before, and the volunteering that I was doing was making the world a better place. Edrick continued being the WereCorp CEO, but he was much different after the events at the mountain estate. He became more fair toward his human employees, and even went so far as to purchase Sophia’s orphanage. He donated money to other local orphanages, and the two of us quickly became known as the biggest philanthropists in the city. On Christmas, we even threw a massive charity gala that beat a record for the most amount of money raised toward humanitarian organizations. It was of course run by the Humanity’s Reach Initiative, which had grown immensely since we joined and put in our efforts. The two of us were happy together. We didn’t have to hide our relationship from anyone — not even ourselves. In the penthouse, we were a little family. We didn’t get engaged, though, but that was okay with me. I was just excited to meet our daughter. I was lying on the couch after a long day of teaching and going to public events when I felt it. Selina had just given me a good scolding for overexerting myself so close to my due date, and now I was reading a book with a sandwich and a cup of tea sitting on the coffee table. Suddenly, I felt something strange. “Um… Selina?!” I called out. I dropped my book and stood, my eyes widening at the large wet spot left behind on the couch. Selina came running, and her eyes widened as well. “Did your…” Her voice faded and she clamped her hand over her mouth. I nodded slowly, both excited and terrified out of my mind. “My water broke. Daisy is on the way.” Edrick and I decided to name the baby Daisy. Daisy Anne Morgan… Someday, I would tell her how her big sister picked that name out, and it was the prettiest and most special name I had ever heard. The contractions began soon after my water broke. Selina was on the phone with Edrick and was telling him to get home when I felt the first one. I let out a loud groan and practically doubled over from the pain as I gripped the back of the couch with white knuckles. “Mom?” Ella asked, tugging on my skirt. “Are you alright?” I nodded and swallowed, feeling myself already beginning to sweat from the pain. “Yes, love. It’s called a contraction.” Ella c****d her head to the side. “What does that mean?” I gritted my teeth through the pain and managed a smile. “It means that your little sister is trying to get out,” I said, pinching Ella’s cheek. I was overtaken then by another wave of pain, and Selina came scurrying out of the kitchen with a worried look on her face. “Edrick is on his way. I’ll take you to the hospital now if you want—” “No.” I shook my head firmly. “I want to wait for Edrick.” Selina opened her mouth to protest at first, but then quickly shut it again. I could tell that she knew that there was no changing my mind now, and so she and Ella both stayed with me while I paced back and forth around the living room, clutching my belly as waves of contractions came over me. Finally, Edrick burst out of the elevator with a wild look on his face. His tie was loosened, his shirt was half untucked, and his hair was a mess. He looked like he practically flew here. I couldn’t help but laugh. “You look ridiculous,” I teased. “Mom peed on the couch!” Ella shouted. Selina hushed Ella. “Don’t be rude!” she scolded. “It’s not urine! It’s called amniotic fluid.” Ella furrowed her brow, still clutching my skirt. “Well, it looks like pee.” Edrick and I both burst out laughing. Ella never ceased to lighten the mood, even when she didn’t mean to. Within minutes, Edrick and I were on the way to the hospital. Ella threw a royal fit when she found out that she couldn’t come until later, but I knew that it would likely be hours spent in the hospital and that it would be worse if she came now. As Edrick drove, he clutched my hand and kept looking over at me nervously, as though I would explode or even just disappear into thin air. “I love you,” Edrick said as he took a turn. Through the pain of the contractions, I could hardly speak. I could only smile back at him, and I squeezed his hand three times. Over the past six months, we had developed a secret code to say I love you without having to speak… And at that moment, I needed to use that secret code more than ever. Edrick grinned and squeezed back. Soon enough, the hospital came into view. Despite the pain, I couldn’t stop smiling. I was so excited to finally meet our daughter.
