Chapter 699 Handle It as You Wish
The second-floor master bedroom door was tightly closed, and several untouched meals were placed at the entrance. The maid knocked on the door cautiously, signaling the person inside to open it.
“Do you have a spare key?” Catherine asked.
The maid nodded. “Yes, on the first floor. I’ll go get it for you.”
Zobber, who was behind them, heard it and briskly approached. “Catherine, using a spare key is troublesome. Let me handle it.”
Catherine glanced at her and agreed.
Zobber removed a hairpin from her head, and in just three seconds, she opened the door.
The maid on the side was left stunned; she didn’t even have a chance to fetch the key before the door opened.
“Get out!” A woman’s angry shout came from inside, unmistakably Audrey’s voice.
Catherine walked in slowly, catching the pillow that smashed into her. ” What’s going on?”
The cold voice brought Audrey back to her senses. She looked up and saw Catherine, instantly flustered. “Kathy, I thought it was Triston. Did you get hurt?”
Audrey hastily got out of bed and approached Catherine.
Catherine casually threw the pillow in her hand and walked toward a single sofa, sitting down without any courtesy.
Zobber, following closely behind, smiled and greeted Audrey, “Audrey, long time no see!”
Facing Catherine’s friend, Audrey forced a smile. “Have a seat.”
After everyone sat down, Audrey remained silent, lowering her head like a child who had done something wrong.
With little time to spare, Catherine directly addressed the key point of the issue. She asked, “Do you know who did that?”
Audrey hesitated, biting her lip and shaking her head. “I don’t know. When I woke up, I was lying there with a terrible headache.”
Then, a series of events unfolded. The wicked woman barged in and violently attacked her, leaving Audrey no choice but to flee in fear.
Catherine’s initially calm eyes darkened at Audrey’s response. Zobber, sitting on the side, sensed it and scrunched her neck in fear. “Whoever dared to offend Catherine was like seeking death,” she thought.
Seeing Catherine’s stern and silent expression, Audrey, full of guilt, looked at her. “Kathy, I’m sorry, I was useless. I’ll handle this myself. You don’t need to worry.”
Catherine glanced at her, and Audrey immediately stopped speaking. Zobber, arrange for Connie to come over,” said Catherine.
“Yes, Catherine, I’ll contact her right away,” replied Zobber.
Half an hour later, a young woman in sportswear appeared in Triston’s mansion, carrying a large box. “Zobber, I’m here. Is Catherine really here?”
Zobber, who received the call, quickly came downstairs and then led Connie upstairs.
Connie finally spotted Catherine in the room. She was also a member of the Hacker Alliance, renowned as the skilled medic among them.
On regular days, whenever a Hacker Alliance member had a broken arm or leg, they would seek Connie’s help. After all, some situations weren’t suitable for a hospital visit-it was too troublesome.
For someone like Thomas, unless it was a matter of life and death, nobody would bother him.
However, it didn’t mean Connie’s medical skills were lacking. Unlike Thomas, who specialized in traditional medicine, Connie excelled in modern medicine diagnostics and treatment.
Seeing Catherine, Connie was so excited she didn’t know how to contain herself. While she had encountered Catherine before, it was a rare occasion.
When she heard Catherine was in Loxton, she had wanted to visit. But without Catherine’s summon, she couldn’t come on her own.
Now that she finally saw Catherine, her inner excitement was almost uncontrollable. “Catherine!”
Zobber knew Catherine was currently bothered. Fearing that Connie might upset her, she quickly stopped Connie. ” Focus on the task first.”
Zobber quietly briefed Connie on Audrey’s situation and asked her to examine Audrey.
Connie was brought to Audrey. She carefully studied Audrey. Though not on par with Catherine’s beauty, Audrey was a pretty woman, and most importantly, she was Catherine’s sister. Due to this, Connie immediately took a liking to Audrey.
“Audrey, don’t be afraid. It’s just a routine check. As long as you cooperate, we’ll finish in ten minutes,” said Connie.
Audrey nodded reluctantly. It was uncomfortable, but she knew that Catherine was doing it for her good. ” Let’s begin,” she said.
In the hall on the first floor, Catherine and Zobber stayed in the living room, leaving the second floor for Connie to examine Audrey.
Knowing Audrey was feeling uneasy, Catherine deliberately cleared the area, providing Audrey with a quiet environment.
After about ten minutes, Connie came downstairs.
Triston, who had been anxiously waiting, immediately reacted. However, Connie ignored him and went straight to Catherine. “Catherine, I’m done.”
“Speak!” said Catherine.
“Audrey is fine, but I detected an overdose of barbiturates in her system, “said Connie.
Although Catherine wasn’t a medical professional, she knew the chemical was a major component of sleeping pills.
It seemed someone drugged Audrey, but fortunately, they didn’t do anything to her.
Triston visibly relaxed. It was not that he minded such things. He was just worried that Audrey would be psychologically affected.
After understanding the situation, Catherine stood up. Her pure brown eyes emitted a chilling light, piercing Triston.
Even someone like Triston, accustomed to big scenes, couldn’t help but tremble under that gaze.
“Catherine, if you have something to say, say it. Don’t look at me like that,” said he.
“Audrey is your responsibility. Handle the media side of things. I’ll investigate the person,” said Catherine.
“Okay!” Triston agreed without hesitation. Audrey was his girlfriend. These fools dared to lay hands on her; he wouldn’t let them off.
“Don’t worry; I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation,” Triston added.
Catherine raised an eyebrow, her gaze carrying a menacing intent, and her low voice sent a bone-chilling coldness. “If not, I’ll castrate you.”
Zobber, standing behind Catherine, pulled out a dagger and deliberately waved it in front of Triston. It was as if Catherine just needed to give an order, and she would immediately take action.
Triston’s body involuntarily trembled. He could be sure Catherine wasn’t joking. If he didn’t satisfy her, he might indeed suffer from Catherine.
“Don’t worry. If not satisfied, you can handle it as you wish,” said Triston.
