Chapter 127 A Giant Baby
Audrey stared at him with an astonished look. She was really stunned for a moment. âThis is so much! Johnathan, who do you think I am? How can I have that much money?â
Johnathan didnât care about that and looked at Audrey dismissively, with his expression as arrogant as ever.
âAudrey, just cut the crap and tell me whether youâll give it to me or not!â
He treated Audrey so badly as if she were his maid rather than his sister. Audrey was infuriated by his attitude and directly answered, âI have no money!â
Johnathan flared up and glared at Audrey, his eyes wide open. âAudrey, arenât you doing variety shows and commercials these days?
How can you have no money? If you donât want to give it to me, just say it. Donât give me that excuse. And donât beg me to put in a good word for you with Mommy next time. What a bummer!â
Enraged by Johnathan, Audrey gasped for breath. Johnathan was so over the line. Previously, she did ask Johnathan to say something nice about her to Rachael. After all, since Rachael showed special affection for her only son, she would listen to his words.
The reason why she went to Johnathan for help was that he was her brother. In her eyes, it was normal that Johnathan asked her for some money occasionally.
When Vicente was around, he was extremely strict with the pocket money for the young generation of the Swanns. Even Rachael didnât dare to give too much pocket money to her children.
Among all the children of the Swanns, only Audrey had some income. Certainly, her younger siblings would ask her for some money.
However, Audrey didnât expect Johnathan to become even worse. He always threatened her to give him money with the same excuse. This time, it was even greedier of him to ask for 300,000 dollars.
Audrey didnât want to grant his wish anymore. After all, he was her brother. She said patiently, âJohnathan, you should grow up nowâ¦â
Before Audrey could finish speaking, Johnathan interrupted her impatiently. He yelled fiercely, âAudrey, who do you think you are? How can you get to tell me what to do? Youâre merely an abandoned daughter of the Swanns. How dare you lecture me now? You and thatâ¦â He was about to say jinx, but upon thinking of having been beaten up by Catherine before, he instantly shivered all over and then bit his tongue. Then, he said with disgruntlement,â Fine. Donât lecture me anymore. Iâll be going!â
After saying that, he left irritably. If it werenât for Catherine here, he would definitely teach Audrey a lesson. Catherine was really something. He had suffered a lot from the previous confrontations against her, so this time, he didnât dare to confront her anymore.
Seeing that he left in a fit of pique, Audrey felt a bit helpless. It was really troublesome to have such a brother. Audrey came back and found that Catherine was sizing her up with a strange look.
She laughed with embarrassment and said in a low voice, âKathy, whatâs wrong? Why are you looking at me this way?â
âDoes he often ask you for money?â Catherine settled her cold gaze on Audrey, not allowing her to avoid the question.
Audrey felt as if being enshrouded in tremendous pressure. Originally, she didnât want to answer the question, but Catherineâs imposing manner made her have no guts to lie at all.
She nodded. âHe asks me for money occasionally, but not every day. He is just a bit insensible and immature.â
Seeing Audreyâs careful look, Catherine didnât want to blame her. After all, she was not in the position to do that. In Catherineâs eyes, Johnathan was not only immature but also unbelievably childish and good-for-nothing.
If she were Audrey, she would directly get rid of him. Keeping this kind man alive was merely a waste of food and energy. If it werenât because he was born into the Swanns, how could he get to live such a good life?
She had promised Vicente that she would show mercy for the Swanns and not hurt them. As for Korbin, if he could behave himself, Catherine wouldnât hurt him. However, if Korbin attempted to do anything against her, she wouldnât let him off the hook then.
Catherine turned around and went upstairs, followed by Audrey. Feeling that Catherine was really displeased, Audrey just followed with her head lowered and not daring to say a word.
As she pushed the door open and saw the messy apartment, Catherine knitted her brows. The last time Catherine came to Audreyâs apartment, it looked fine. Why did it become so messy this time?
In fact, last time, due to the shooting, it took Audrey three days and nights to clean her apartment beforehand. Although Audrey had moved out of the Swannsâ, she didnât have to do chores when she lived in the Swannsâ.
Back then, Vicente was in charge of the Swanns. Even if Audrey wasnât favored, she still lived an easy life at home. How could she do the cleaning?
Audrey also saw the mess in the apartment. She laughed with embarrassment and hastened to kick away the shoes that were blocking the door.
âIâll clean this up right now. Iâve been busy shooting commercials these days, so I didnât come home and do the cleaning. Just take a rest, and Iâll clean the place right now!â
After saying that, Audrey hurriedly dashed into the bathroom, grabbed the gloves, and rushed out in a hurry.
Catherine watched her take off the ring and put on the gloves. Then, she just held Audreyâs hand. Audrey raised her head in surprise and thought Catherine wanted to help. âNo need. You may sit aside and take a rest. Iâve got this!â she said.
However, Catherine took the gloves away from Audrey and made a call. âGet me a housekeeper. The address isâ¦
Then, before Audrey could react, Catherine dragged her away. When they got downstairs, Audrey realized what Catherine had done. âKathy, where are you taking me to?â
Catherine turned around and darted a glance at her, saying in a casual tone, â To eat!â
âOh!â Audrey thought for a while and then took Catherineâs advice. âOkay. Letâs eat first. There is a nice restaurant nearby. Iâll take you there.â
Catherine had no problem with that. She just couldnât stand being in Audreyâs messy home anymore. After eating a salad, Audrey rested her chin with her hands on the table and stared at Catherine with an envious look.
âKathy, how I envy you! Why does your skin still look glowing even though you ate so much?â Watching Catherine eating the delicacies, Audrey couldnât help swallowing her saliva.
These days, to make herself look good on camera, she kept eating salads. Even at the restaurant today, she only had eaten a salad too.
On the contrary, Catherine was eating happily here, which made Audrey water nonstop.
