Chapter 171 I Heard You

Johnathan was a boy who his family pampered. When had he ever been humiliated like this? He gritted his teeth to endure the pain and threatened Catherine again.

“Catherine, stop it right now. Or else Mommy and Daddy won’t let you go. When they arrive, you’ll be in for it!”

Catherine wondered if Johnathan was an idiot. Hadn’t he already made that threat once a few minutes ago?

Why did he do it again?

Did he think she would be afraid of his threats? Seeing Catherine’s sudden stop, Johnathan thought his threat had worked. After all, he was his parents’ favorite, the only heir of the Swanns. He thought Catherine dared not hurt him.

Just when Johnathan was about to be arrogant and proud, Catherine suddenly threw the bamboo whip aside and drew a thicker, longer one out. It was a bamboo whip twice as thick as the previous one, and Catherine waved it in front of Johnathan.

Johnathan’s body tightened in fear, and he couldn’t help shivering. He tried to brace himself so he didn’t scream out. “Catherine, what do you mean by that? Didn’t you hear…”

Catherine scratched her ear impatiently. “Shut up. I heard you!”  She reached into her pocket to pull out her cell phone and threw it on the floor in front of Johnathan. “I’ll give you a chance. You go live to show your parents what you look like now.” A faint smile crossed her stunningly beautiful face. The irony on her face was obvious. “That way, maybe they can come faster!”

Johnathan looked at Catherine in horror. Her smile made him feel a palpitating sensation in his heart, and he couldn’t help but shiver.

“What… What do you want?”

“Hehe!” Catherine sneered. Her face was with an evil and somewhat cynical smile. The whip in her hand gently swung in a perfect arc. This whip was as if it on her hand, and she could use it skillfully and smoothly.

“I can whip you 60 times in a minute and 360 times in an hour. How many times can I whip you before your parents come, and how many times can your body withstand?”

Her voice was soft, but it was enough for Johnathan to hear her. He saw the serious and non-negotiable look in Catherine’s eyes. He knew Catherine would really do something like this.

If he let her whip him like that, he could be beaten to death before his parents arrived.

[Snap!]

A quick and accurate lash fell on Johnathan’s body. After changing the whip, the pain he felt was several times that of the previous pain he felt.

Catherine still didn’t give Johnathan any time to think before she just went ahead and whipped him. She was teaching him to behave with her actions.

Johnathan couldn’t hold back any longer and screamed, “Ouch, help. She’s killing me.”

“Even if I do whip you to death, so what? Don’t forget who owns the assets of the Swanns now. I have enough money to make others do things for me. Aren’t you most aware of these?”

Catherine was letting Johnathan know how powerful she was in a way he could understand. As Catherine said, money could solve all problems in Johnathan’s perceived world. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Catherine was now the wealthiest person in the Swanns. All of their family’s property was in her name. She had also become the company’s chairperson; even his father could not do anything to her.

Thinking about all this, Johnathan was scared. After sensing that Catherine had no intention of compromising, Johnathan began to beg for mercy. He began to beg for mercy in the way Catherine wanted him to. “I’m wrong. I’m… I’m wrong, okay? I apologize. Catherine, I was wrong…”

Catherine slowed down the whip a bit, but she didn’t stop. This made Johnathan realize something. As if being guided, he gradually realized what attitude Catherine wanted.

Thinking about what Catherine had just said, Johnathan began to flatter Catherine and beg for mercy to escape.

“Catherine, I’m wrong. I know I’m wrong. Just let me off…

“Catherine, you’re my sister!”

At that moment, Johnathan’s group realized Catherine’s identity. It turned out that the woman in front of them was the jinx that Johnathan mentioned daily: the second daughter of the Swanns, Catherine!

Seeing that his plea for mercy was sincere, Catherine stopped whipping him. Just as Johnathan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Catherine turned her elbow and pointed the whip straight at his head, resting above his brow.

He froze and sat on the floor again. He looked at Catherine in horror and said, “You…”

He was just about to question Catherine but realized that it was wrong. He hastily changed his attitude. “I mean, what are you doing?”

Catherine gave him a somewhat satisfied look.

It seemed Johnathan wasn’t stupid. He was still able to be educated. For Vicente’s sake, she would take the trouble to educate him.

“Is it enough for you to just apologize to me?”

Johnathan couldn’t react for a moment.. Only after his friends beside him tried so hard to hint at him with their eyes did he realize what Catherine was trying to make him do. She was asking him to apologize to Theresa. Johnathan was somewhat reluctant.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the look on Catherine’s face. She looked expressionless but was cold enough to make him wince at the sight of her.

Johnathan dared not object and obediently came to Theresa to apologize to her. Seeing him approach suddenly, Theresa cringed in fear. Her whole body curled up, and she looked at him in fear.

Johnathan gritted his teeth and bowed his head to apologize. “I was wrong. I’m sorry!”

Theresa was dumbfounded and froze on the spot. Johnathan returned to Catherine after apologizing. He didn’t say anything and waited for Catherine to give him orders. Catherine ignored him and then picked up a bottle of whisky and placed it in front of Theresa.

“He bullied you and has apologized for it, but he forced you to drink alcohol. If you want to get back at him, you can force him to drink this bottle of whisky to let him feel what it’s like.”

Theresa was shocked. Her eyes widened as she looked at Catherine in front of her. At that moment, Catherine was like a god that glowed in her eyes.

Hearing that, Johnathan’s face instantly went pale. He looked at Theresa in horror, wondering what decision she would make.

He knew that if Theresa wanted to pour the whisky into his mouth, Catherine would have had someone hold him down and pry his mouth open so that Theresa could force a drink into him easily.

It was a bottle of pure whisky, 17 ounces. If Theresa poured it down his throat forcibly, he would be sent to the hospital on the spot to have his stomach pumped.

Theresa’s heart was in turmoil. She realized that everyone was waiting for her to make a decision. Her eyes swept back and forth between the bottle of whisky and Catherine. Finally, she made up her mind and shook her head.

The shake of her head was a relief to Johnathan. He felt relieved. Catherine didn’t force Theresa. After sweeping Johnathan with her gaze, she dropped the whip and stood up to leave.

Seeing that she had already left with her back turned, Johnathan remained unconvinced in his heart, and his resistance was stirring.

As a result, he was held down by a couple of his friends on his side. One of his friends reminded him in a low voice, “Mr. Johnathan, don’t be impulsive. Look up over there!”
