CHAPTER 669: CHAPTER 641: AO CHEN VS HUO QI 7

"So, in your eyes, as your sister, am I still disappointing?"

"I didn’t say that," Nick rubbed the corner of his eyes, "Catherine, be reasonable, please don’t do things that put everyone in a difficult position, okay?"

You are already an adult, the Hawes Family has indulged you for so many years, not asking you to sacrifice your choice of marriage for the prosperity of the Hawes family;

but at least, I hope you think more about the Hawes family."

No matter what Nick said, Catherine wouldn’t listen, and Nick realized that she really had been spoiled to the point of not knowing the hardships of the common people.

She acted only to please herself, regardless of others, and her character, while leaving people speechless, often felt somewhat helpless.

After talking for a while, Nick asked her to leave. Before she left, Nick warned her again not to provoke Bo Yan.

Not knowing whether she took it to heart, Nick emphasized, "If you fall into Bo Yan’s hands and I can’t get you out, I won’t bother with you anymore."

Catherine remained silent, just turned around and walked away.

Nick sighed, Linda walked in from the side, holding quite a few documents, "Boss, business has been very tough recently, the original shipping routes of the Hawes family are now fiercely disputed."

"Give me the documents, I’m well aware of it."

"Yes."

"Linda." As Linda turned to leave, Nick called her back. She turned around, puzzled, and Nick sighed, "I know this is a bit too much to ask of you, but right now, aside from you, everyone around me is overly ambitious, and I don’t know whom to trust."

"Please tell me."

"Keep an eye on Catherine for me, make sure she doesn’t stir up trouble with Bo Yan and Yuran, and don’t hesitate to intervene directly whenever there’s any unnecessary commotion, that’s the authority I give you."

After a long silence, Linda slowly nodded, "Yes, Boss."

...

Meanwhile, back in her room, Catherine was seething with resentment. Previously, in Bo Yan’s country, it was inconvenient for her to do anything, but here it was not the case; firearms were legal, everything was legal. If Yuran happened to come across a shooting or a terrorist attack, it wouldn’t be her fault, would it?

Once her heart twisted with malice, all thoughts were irretrievable.

Catherine had repeatedly been bested by Yuran, and she couldn’t swallow this resentment no matter what, only wishing to see Yuran receive retribution, otherwise she couldn’t be at peace.

After much hesitation, she picked up her phone and contacted someone—the uncle she had met once when her father was still alive, the one her father said often walked on the verge of death, fearless in everything he did.

From then on, as an adult, there were things she couldn’t handle herself and she could turn to him.

She knew her father had never introduced her brother to this desperado, because her brother disliked such things, taking after their mother in character, nearly virtuous and especially bright in the business world.

Thus, his reputation was quite good. Catherine herself, on the other hand, was very much like her father, unscrupulous in achieving goals, regardless of the cost, as long as it made her happy, it was permissible.

Catherine had not anticipated that, initially to identify her whereabouts and activities, Linda had long installed a bug in her phone, the bug which Linda installed was an accident, initially he hadn’t planned on doing it, the purpose of the monitoring was because he worried Catherine would chat with her close friends who might give her bad advice, ultimately harming her.

But she never imagined, the first information intercepted was Catherine’s sinister plan of hiring a killer.

Linda frowned, she dared not withhold this information, and that very night she contacted Nick, conveying everything she had heard.

Nick was furious that Linda had actually bugged his sister’s phone, and agitated that his sister had become so nefarious.

She really didn’t regard someone else’s life as important, did she realize, if she went through with this, what consequences there would be in the future?

Yuran was the only person Bo Yan truly cared about. Because of Yuran, Bo Yan had made compromises, Linda had told him before, Yuran was Bo Yan’s Achilles’ heel, extremely sensitive, no one could harm Yuran, yet his own sister wanted someone to kill her?

How audacious must one be to dare engage in such an act?

Nick paced nervously around his bedroom, business was not going well lately, and his sister turned out to be troublesome too, his head was almost about to explode, Linda apologized over the phone, her intention wasn’t to spy on Catherine.
