Chapter 265 Her Revenge

Korbin was at Mercy Hospital. At that moment, a group of important individuals, including the hospital’s director, Rhys, had gathered outside the operating room.

Korbin looked at the director with an anxious expression on his face. “Mr. Parry, how is my son’s condition? Is it serious?”

Rhys gazed at Korbin seriously and replied, “Mr. Swann, rest assured. Our top-notch surgeon is performing the surgery on Mr. Johnathan. Mr. Johnathan’s condition is not too severe and won’t affect the later stages.”

Korbin nodded and gratefully shook Rhys’ hand. “Thank you, Mr. Parry. I appreciate your efforts in handling this matter.”

Korbin signaled to his secretary on the side. The secretary immediately took out an envelope from his pocket.

It was a familiar routine. There was no need to guess. Rhys knew exactly what Korbin meant. He proactively declined the envelope offered by the secretary and looked polite as ever at Korbin.

“Mr. Swann, with your close relationship with Mr. Duncan, these are all things we should be doing. Please don’t do this.”

Seeing Rhys’ firm attitude, Korbin realized that Rhys was serious. Then Korbin signaled for the secretary to put the envelope away.

Rhys left with a cheerful demeanor. As soon as Rhys was out of sight, his assistant quietly inquired, “Mr. Parry, why are you being so courteous to the Swanns? The Swanns don’t interact much with our hospital, do they?”

Mercy Hospital, the finest private hospital in Casier, usually received affluent and influential patients. The fact that the Swanns could have Rhys personally involved was because of the Swanns’ prominent status in Casier.

Rhys met countless dignitaries. However, the assistant sensed that Rhys was exceptionally polite toward the Swanns. Rhys smiled and stared at his assistant with a meaningful look.

“The Swanns have a strong connection with the Duncans. If the Swanns were to form an alliance with the Duncans, we might have to consider the Swanns’ preferences in the future.”

The last time Rhys returned, he had explicitly inquired about Catherine’s background. He learned about the Swanns’ relationship with the Duncans.

Korbin’s son was injured this time, which was the Swanns’ matter. Given Branden’s attitude previously and his visit to the hospital, Rhys couldn’t afford to neglect the Swanns.

He had to be careful and attentive to them. When Liana arrived at the door of the operating room, Johnathan’s surgery had not yet concluded. Only Korbin and Rachael were at the entrance of the operating room.

Rachael had tears in her eyes, and Liana hurried over to comfort her. She said, “Mommy, don’t worry. Johnathan will be fine.”

Rachael, consumed by thoughts of her beloved son, couldn’t find any words to say and just shook her head silently.

However, Liana was unusually concerned and asked, “Mommy, how did Johnathan suddenly have an accident? Although he’s young, he’s a good driver and often talks about participating in races.”

As the Swanns were well-off, and Johnathan, as the only son of the Swanns, had been pampered from a young age.

He had a passion for cars. Rachael had arranged a car for him at a very young age. So, Johnathan’s driving skills were indeed decent. His sudden car accident had surprised the Swanns.

Seeing that her parents remained silent, Liana suddenly blurted out her thoughts. She asked, “Could someone be intentionally trying to harm Johnathan?”

This single sentence drew the attention of the couple from the Swanns. Korbin looked at Liana with a serious expression while Rachael reached out and grabbed Liana’s arm.

“What do you mean by that? Do you know if your brother has offended someone outside? Or something else? You’d better explain yourself.”

Being pulled by Rachael, Liana put on a fragile demeanor and looked at her innocently. “Mommy, Johnathan never tells me anything about his affairs. I don’t know if he has offended anyone.”

“Then why did you suddenly say that?” Rachael pressed for more information. Liana was hesitant, which made Rachael suspect that she knew something,

“Liana, it’s a critical moment. Your brother’s life is at stake. Why aren’t you telling the truth?”

Korbin also noticed this and said to Liana, “Liana, if you know something, just say it. Is there anything you can’t say in front of your parents?”

Liana nodded with a look of helplessness and cautiously said, “I’ve always been worried that Catherine is seeking revenge on us.”

“Catherine?” Korbin looked at Liana in shock. “Dad, Catherine came back to get revenge on us. She told me herself.” Liana took out her phone and played the recorded conversation.

After Rachael heard that, her face darkened. Her previously sharp eyes turned cold, and she spoke with determination, “It must be that girl. She’s capable of doing anything to get her hands on the Swann Corporation’s wealth.

“This jinx! She’s nothing but a troublemaker. Honey, Johnny’s accident must be her doing.”

Rachael stared at Korbin and urged him to come up with a plan. Korbin nodded thoughtfully. Initially, he didn’t want to take extreme measures considering the family ties.

However, Catherine refused to listen and was indeed seeking revenge. In Korbin’s view, Catherine tried to harm the Swanns’ only son.

Korbin thought inwardly, “Does she believe that she could secure a larger share of the Swann Corporation’s wealth by doing this?

“That is nothing but wishful thinking.” Then Korbin said, “Don’t worry. Leave this matter to me. I will get to the bottom of it.”

After saying that, Korbin turned to his secretary and instructed, “Go and thoroughly investigate to see if there were any issues with Johnny’s car.”

“Yes, Mr. Swann.”

Liana hid behind Rachael and watched the retreating figure of Korbin’s secretary. A smug and sinister smile played on her face. She bore a slight resemblance to Catherine. After receiving the information, Ronin immediately informed Catherine.

“Boss, Johnathan had a car accident.”

Catherine was in the middle of playing a game and didn’t even lift her head as she asked, “Is he dead?”

Ronin shook his head and gave a concise reply. He said, “No. He just broke his leg. He’s currently undergoing surgery at Mercy Hospital.”

“Then why are you telling me?” Catherine’s tone was cold and sinister. She was extremely indifferent. Catherine thought inwardly, “He just broke his leg. He didn’t die. Why bother me with it?”

As Ronin assessed Catherine’s attitude, he couldn’t help but envy Audrey. Compared to Johnathan, Audrey was definitely the favored one.

When news of Audrey’s injury came, Catherine rushed to the hospital without hesitation. She arranged the best doctors and even brought Branden with her.

Since Catherine didn’t care about Johnathan, Ronin saw no need to continue the conversation. Since Johnathan was insignificant, there was no need to bother Catherine.

Ronin approached with a cheerful smile and pleaded with Catherine. “Boss, how about playing games with me for a while? It’s been so long since we played together.”
