Chapter 475 Rachaelâs Anger
As Rachael gazed at the cramped little apartment, she was extremely angry. They had been kicked out of the Swanns âby Catherine. Originally, Rachael wanted to return to her motherâs house, but Korbin was firmly against it.
In the end, they had no choice but to settle into this small city apartment.
This apartment was less than 1,000 square feet. It had been purchased for Liana to take a nap during a nearby training class. It was initially registered under Lianaâs name, and Rachael had never anticipated they would end up living here.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The living room in this place wasnât even half the size of her former walk-in closet. She couldnât believe that a high-society lady like herself would end up in such a situation.
Unable to contain her anger any longer, Rachael picked up the phone and dialed a number. At the same time, Audrey was on the set in the Northwest.
Audrey was still busy shooting, and she had entrusted her phone to Kim for safekeeping. When Kim noticed the vibration of Audreyâs personal phone, he quickly took it out.
After he saw the incoming call on the screen, a sardonic smile appeared on Kimâs face. He thought inwardly, âShe really has the nerve to call. Itâs unbelievable.â
Initially, Kim was reluctant to answer the call, but the phone continued to ring incessantly. With a roll of his eyes, Kim finally answered it.
As the call connected, he was greeted by Rachaelâs furious voice.
âYou brat! It took you this long to answer. When did you become so arrogant?â
Kim, who had seen the two faces of female celebrities both on and off the stage, was momentarily taken aback by Rachaelâs words.
He hadnât expected such a stark contrast in Rachaelâs behavior.
âMrs. Swann, itâs me. Audrey is still busy shooting.â
Upon hearing Kimâs voice, Rachael recognized him as Audreyâs agent, whom she had met a few times before. As Rachael faced Kim, her anger was somewhat subdued, but her attitude remained haughty.
âTell her to stop shooting and answer the phone.â
Rachael was so arrogant that Kim couldnât help but wish he could throw a shoe at her face. Considering Rachaelâs attitude, Kim adopted a cold tone.
âMrs. Swann, if you have something to say, tell me, and Iâll convey it to Audrey once sheâs available.â
Rachael reacted as if she had heard a joke. She sneered, âWho do you think you are? Talking to you is already showing you some respect. Are you even qualified to relay a message for me?â
Kim had no idea how Audrey had managed to survive all these years. Having a mother like Rachael was a truly unfortunate thing.
âMrs. Swann, if you donât have any other business, Iâll hang up now.â
âYou dare!â Rachael warned sternly.
In Rachaelâs view, even a small-time agent from the entertainment industry dared to speak to her like this. It was ridiculous.
Taking a page from Rachaelâs earlier tone, Kim responded with a touch of sarcasm.
He sneered, âWhat do I have to be afraid of? Do you still think youâre the high and mighty Mrs. Swann? Havenât you already severed ties with Audrey? Then why are you calling?â
He had heard about Audrey cutting ties with the Swanns yesterday.
Kim learned about the terrible things the Swanns did to Audrey, including kidnapping Audrey to threaten Catherine. In his opinion, cutting ties was just the beginning. He would have sought vengeance if he were in Audreyâs shoes.
âYouâ¦â Rachael couldnât believe that Audrey had shared such matters with Kim. Her face turned red with anger. Then she shouted, âCut ties? Sheâs enjoyed all the luxuries at the Swannsâ for years, and now sheâs cutting ties with me.
âAudrey is so unfilial. Isnât she afraid of being ridiculed by the world? I could expose her to the media. Letâs see how this ungrateful girl fares in the entertainment industry.â
In the entertainment industry, people dreaded these kinds of amoral scandals. If Audrey wanted to thrive in this circle, she needed to be obedient.
After being threatened, Kim was thoroughly infuriated. He laughed in anger.
âHaha. Fine, Mrs. Swann. While Iâm not from a prestigious family like yours, I do know quite a few people in the media world. Mrs. Swann, if you need anything, feel free to contact me, and Iâll arrange for several media outlets to give you some coverage.â
He continued, âAnd I must clarify one thing. Audrey did have a privileged upbringing in a wealthy environment, but none of this was thanks to you, Mrs. Swann. She was born into the Swanns, a wealthy family. Even you, Mrs. Swann, wouldnât have your current status without the support of the Swanns.â
The wealth of the Swanns was built by Vicenteâs ancestors, and Vicente continued to expand it, leading to their current status as a prominent family.
All this wealth had no connection with Korbin and Rachael. Moreover, Audrey grew up by Vicenteâs side and wasnât even raised by these two for a single day.
Finally, Kim issued a warning to Rachael. He said, âMrs. Swann, please be sure to mention the fact that you and Mr. Swann have severed ties with Audrey when you hold your press conference. Iâll accompany Audrey to file a report. The kidnapping incident from yesterday isnât over yet.â
Actually, they werenât afraid of Rachael exposing the matter. They knew that in the end, the heartless couple would be the ones facing a grim outcome.
However, Audreyâs career was currently on the rise and in its prime.
The big-budget film she had auditioned for had finally been confirmed, and Kim didnât expect her to secure the role of the female lead. Kim believed that once the movie was released, Audreyâs career would reach new heights.
Kim used to wonder why Audrey, a fine young lady, would endure such hardship in the entertainment industry.
Why didnât she return home to inherit her tens of billions of dollars worth of family wealth and live a life of leisure as a socialite?
Now he understood. With parents like hers, she wouldnât be happy, even if she had hundreds of billions of dollars in inheritance.
Rachael was shocked and couldnât believe that Audrey had actually shared such matters with others.
âAre you threatening me?â
âNot at all. Mrs. Swann, I just hope that you appreciate what you have now. If thereâs nothing else, Iâll hang up.â
After that, Kim hung up without hesitation. He thought what he did just now was so cool.
He sneered and thought inwardly, â Who does she think she is? She is nothing!â
Rachaelâs phone beeped.
The sound of the call being disconnected reached Rachael, and her anger had reached a boiling point. She couldnât control herself any longer and hurled the phone at the wall.
âThese ingrates! This bunch of ingratesâ¦â
She had hoped to get Audrey involved in some trouble, but Audrey actually didnât answer her call, and Kim even threatened her.
Rachael thought inwardly, âThese girls are truly asking for trouble!â
Liana stood silently outside the door. She had overheard the entire conversation inside the room. Her hand at her side clenched tightly.
Liana thought inwardly, âCatherine is such a jinx. She caused so much trouble. 11
Liana had originally just wanted to focus on her upcoming exams and hadnât wanted to get involved in all this. However, things had spiraled into this mess.
With just one more day, after tomorrowâs exam, she would have the time to deal with Catherine.
After subduing her anger, Liana turned away with an indifferent expression.
