Chapter 796 A Similar Feeling

Catherine hung up the phone and returned. She found Carlo and Francis looking incredibly odd. They stole glances at her and communicated only through eye contact. They didn’t dare to speak.

Catherine scanned the two of them with a cold eye before seating herself nearby. “Don’t worry. I straightened things out with Branden. It’s not on you.”

As soon as she said that, their tense expressions relaxed. Carlo let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at Catherine with gratitude. “Miss Swann, thank you.”

“No need,” Catherine said coldly and shut down further conversation. She was about to leave when Francis’s phone rang. She paused and planned to wait until Francis’s call ended to inquire about the situation before leaving.

“Damn it! They’re so cunning!” Francis cursed after ending the call. Seeing his disturbed state, Carlo signaled to remind Francis that Catherine was still there.
