All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 306 Daring to Bargain

Korbin Swann felt that he had already given Catherine Swann enough face. If Branden Duncan weren’t present, he would have already taken control of Catherine and taught her a lesson. She needed to learn her place, especially challenging the Swanns.

After hearing Korbin’s condition, Catherine smiled and fixed her chilly gaze on him. She calmly asked, “Dad, do you think this is a discount store? You keep asking to bargain.”

Bargaining was beneath Catherine’s dignity. She viewed it as a mockery of the situation. Korbin glared at Catherine with anger in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, “Catherine, don’t push it too far!”

Catherine crossed her arms casually, appearing relaxed but exuding an overwhelming arrogance. Catherine’s composure made her seem even more dominant compared to the furious members of the Swanns.

The atmosphere in the living room plunged to an icy low, and an intense standoff began between father and daughter.

When it seemed the situation was about to escalate further, the Swanns’ butler hurriedly entered the room. Korbin was somewhat displeased when he saw the butler’s anxious expression. He asked, “Is the sky falling? Why are you so frantic?”

The butler looked embarrassed after being reprimanded. He lowered his head and whispered, “Mr. Swann, two law enforcement officers are outside. They say they’ve come to see Mr. Johnathan.”

The speed of their arrival was astonishing. The expressions of everyone present changed with this news. Johnathan quickly realized the gravity of the situation and immediately grabbed Rachael’s hand, pleading for mercy.

“Mom, I don’t want to go to jail. Please, please don’t let me go to jail!” said Johnathan.

Rachael was also getting anxious. Her earlier composure was completely gone. She kept holding Johnathan’s hand and trying to comfort him.

“Johnny, don’t be panic. Mom won’t let you go to jail, absolutely not,” Rachael reassured him. Catherine looked at Rachael, who was comforting Johnathan, as her actions calmed him down.
