Chapter 27
Audrey dragged Catherine to the room where Vicente’s photo was. In this room, not only was Vicente’s photo placed here, but also those of other ancestors of the Swanns were kept in this room.
Catherine stood aside and watched indifferently as Audrey went forward and bowed to Vicente’s photo with great reverence.
Catherine found it a bit difficult to see through Audrey’s mind. The way she saw it, Audrey was an unfavored daughter of the Swanns. Supposedly, Audrey should hate or even resent the Swanns, but Catherine did not find that Audrey thought this way.
After lighting a candle for Vicente, Audrey turned around and looked at Catherine. There was a faint smile in Audrey’s composed eyes. Her eyes were quite warm.
“Catherine, actually, sometimes, I sort of envy you!” Audrey said.
Catherine slowly raised her head with indifference and alienation in her eyes. There was no trace of family affection in her big bright eyes. She asked, “Why do you envy me? Because I am regarded as the bane of the Swanns?”
Audrey was stunned by Catherine’s reply. It took her quite a while to recover.
Yet, Audrey did not fly into a rage due to Catherine’s attitude or say hurtful words to her as the other Swanns did.
“Catherine, don’t call yourself that way. You are the second eldest daughter of the Swanns, not the bane of the Swanns. Seriously, I do envy you. I assume you must have a good time in the countryside. The Swanns seem like a rich and powerful family, but there are plenty of intrigues and traps. Not everyone wants to live such a life. If you hadn’t been sent to the countryside back then, maybe you would have led a harder life,” Audrey said.
Catherine gazed at Audrey quietly and did not expect that Audrey would say something similar to what Vicente had said.
At that time, when Vicente came to her, he also said that it was best for her to be taken away.
Catherine eyed Audrey up and down. There did not seem to be remoteness in her cold eyes as before.
“Don’t you hate or resent them?” Catherine asked.
Audrey was struck dumb by Catherine’s words. After being quiet for a few seconds, she gave a bitter smile. “Anyway, they are my family.”
Her answer sounded ridiculous to Catherine. Audrey regarded those people as her family. Did they treat her as their family?
Stunned by Catherine’s indifference, Audrey enddenly robled, “They are alan you family Maybe they love you from the depths of their heute her! You love meals a mistake, to Heldy still did not punish you severely. It suggests that he cares a lot about you, right?”
Catherine glanced over Audrey’s face and said coldly, “Innocent”
After saying that, Catherine beckoned Audrey to follow her.
Seeing that Catherine left, Audrey hurriedly kept up with her
Audrey followed Catherine to Vicente’s study, Vicente’s study was the most mysterious place in the Swanns’.
Without his permission, even Korbin could not go into the study.
Even the door of the study was locked through multiple layers. It was difficult for people to break in.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Audrey did not know what Catherine wanted to do She was about to stop Catherine when Catherine peeked through the hole in the door of the study.
With a clatter, the door was unlocked.
Audrey was astonished. She did not expect Catherine would have the password.
After all, the door used an iris scammer lock In the past, only Vicente’s iris was registered in the door lock system. This was the first time she had seen someone else who could open the door apart from Vicente after so many years.
“Kathy, how did you get into the study? Did Grandpa register your iris in the system?” Audrey asked.
