Chapter 694 Threat
Catherine led Ronin to the topmost office area. As soon as the door opened, several black-clothed security guards rushed straight out.
Catherine glanced at them expressionlessly. She turned back toward Ronin behind her and said in a low voice, “I’ll leave them to you!”
“No problem!” Ronin confidently patted his chest. “Catherine, don’t worry. I’ll keep up later!”
Several black-clothed bodyguards rushed forward and wanted to surround Catherine, but Ronin blocked them before they could reach Catherine.
Ronin gave a handsome kick. After kicking down one of the black-clothed bodyguards, he scanned around with an intense look of disdain in his eyes.
“What are you waiting for? Just come together!”
He did not put these people in his eyes at all. He was not worried even if there were ten more security guards.
He thought to himself, “Anyone who dares to stop Catherine must die!”
Seeing that these bodyguards could not even stop Ronin alone, the higher-ups arranged new helpers. These new helpers were all skilled, burly men.
They were not only very strong, but more importantly, they were also very good at fighting. With the sudden addition of such a new group of burly men, Ronin was a bit flustered.
The group of black-clothed security guards was easy for him to deal with just now, but now, with the addition of these new men, Ronin was afraid that he would not be able to handle them.
However, the target of these new big guys did not seem to be Ronin. They rushed directly toward Catherine. Their goal was very clear, and that was to stop Catherine.
Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind her, Catherine unhurriedly stopped her steps and turned back to look at them.
She calmly took out the chocolate from inside her pocket. Branden had prepared this for her, and she happened to be hungry. She could eat it.
The battle was about to start. There were more and more people on the other side, and Catherine was alone, but she was not afraid at all.
A few of the big guys tried to attack Catherine, but she knocked them over before they could touch her.
Her movements were fast and sharp, without any hesitation.
Seeing that they could not stop Catherine by attacking her separately, they decided to join forces and completely defeat her.
Before they could do it, an old voice suddenly interrupted them.
“Okay, stop it!”
Shane slowly appeared in front of the crowd. His sharp eyes were fixed on Catherine.
“You all back off. You are no match for her.”
Shane knew clearly that even if there were twice as many people, none of them would be a match for Catherine.
He knew Catherine’s power better than anyone.
“Catherine, come with me!”
Shane raised his hand in a gesture, and Catherine walked into the office right after him.
Ronin was about to follow but was stopped by a few bodyguards in black. Ronin’s face immediately sank, staring menacingly at those bodyguards.
“What? You guys still want to fight me?
A black-clothed security guard looked at Ronin and said coldly, “Mr. Shane didn’t let you in!”
Ronin raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party with disdain. “What if I want to break in?”
There was no place he could not enter in his life.
He was going in to keep Catherine safe. There was nothing anyone could do to stop him.
“Ronin!” Catherine shouted.
Ronin immediately looked up. “Yes?”
“Wait for me at the door!”
Upon hearing Catherine’s order, Ronin turned around to sit beside the door without hesitation.
He could ignore anyone’s words, but he would not ignore Catherine’s words. With that, Catherine turned around and walked into the office.
The building was a subsidiary of the Breens. Although Shane seldom came there, all the decorations there were decorated according to Shane’s favorite style, which showed that Shane’s status was not ordinary.
He asked Catherine to have a seat warmly. His kind appearance resembled that of an elder who doted on his younger generation with no hint of hostility at all.
Catherine didn’t make any pretense and sat down graciously.
Only after she was seated did Shane ask slowly and leisurely, “What’s the reason you came here so aggressively?”
Catherine turned her head to look at him. Her disdainful gaze was filled with mockery.
“Aren’t you the one who knows best in your heart about the reason? Or do you have a bad memory in your old age and have even forgotten what you have done?”
Anyone else could not walk out of this door after saying such impolite words in front of Shane.
But Catherine was different. She was born that way.
Even when she came to the Breens, down and out, she had never once flattered Shane to please him.
This was what Shane appreciated most about her.
“Hahaha…” Shane burst out laughing nonchalantly. Apparently, he didn’t feel bad about everything he did.
“Catherine, I just got you a small stumbling block, and you’re so tired of dealing with it? How long do you think you can withstand if I really take action?”
Although the video was just an accident, Shane was the one who seized this opportunity to cause the situation.
He used a little trick to shift the blame for the leak onto Catherine.
His fundamental goal was to make Catherine unable to stay at Styre University. He wanted to drive Catherine out of Styre University so that she would return to him obediently, inherit the Breens’ property, and keep working for the Breens for the rest of her life.
For so long, no one had ever been able to refuse the offer of the Breens.
Whether through natural cooperation or means, as long as the Breens wanted someone, no one could refuse them, which was the survival law of the Breens.
This time, Shane still felt the same way.
After his negotiations with Catherine broke down, he began to look for the right moment. He looked at Catherine smugly and raised his eyebrows.
“You should know very well that this is merely an appetizer. If I really want to make a move on you, I’m afraid the consequences will be more than that!”
Catherine sat calmly. The expression on her face remained rebellious and disdainful. From beginning to end, she did not take this top-notch tycoon seriously.
Shane was in no hurry. He believed there was always something that could subdue Catherine.
“Have you ever thought it? You can escape alone, but what about people from the Swanns and the Duncans? Right, do you know that? Branden’s Duncan Corporation is now in trouble. Don’t you want to save it?”
Shane’s threat was now very clear.
Catherine chuckled softly. She felt it was better to confront her directly in public than to use covert tactics against her in private.
“Do you think I would be afraid? The bankruptcy of the Duncans is the business of Branden. What does it have to do with me? As for the Swanns, you know my childhood experience best. Do you think I would sacrifice myself for them?”
