Chapter 705 Give Me a Reason

Erasmus was infuriated by Catherine’s domineering declaration, almost triggering a heart attack.

If it weren’t for the fact that those incompetent people among the Silvas of this generation needed him to oversee things, he wouldn’t have to endure it.

He had just received calls from several business partners, all announcing the cancellation of their cooperation with the Silvas.

Also, the influential figure within the Silvas, Erasmus’s brother-in-law, the current leader of a particular district, had also called. He was now under investigation for corruption.

In one night, the Silvas fell like a house of cards.

Erasmus genuinely could not ignore Catherine’s bold words now because he wasn’t sure if Catherine’s warnings would come true.

He lifted his head and stared fixedly at Catherine with a slight tremor. ” Whether it’s the Duncans or the Swanns, the Silvas have never had any dealings with them, let alone conflicts. Why must you push us to our doom?”

Catherine directed her gaze at Andrea, who was standing beside her.

The intensity in her eyes was so powerful that Andrea involuntarily stepped back, not daring to make eye contact with Catherine.

Sensing Andrea’s change in look, Erasmus questioned his granddaughter with a stern face. “What have you done?

It was the first time Andrea had seen her grandfather so angry. She didn’t understand what Catherine had done to cause such a change in her grandfather. After receiving the phone call earlier, her grandfather’s momentum had weakened instantly.

Catherine made bold threats, yet her grandfather suddenly showed weakness. This indicated that Catherine had caught hold of something, and Andrea’s heart skipped a beat.

She believed her grandfather must have other ways to handle this. With a face full of grievances, she looked at Erasmus. “Grandpa, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m not even friends with her. We met once just because of Triston. I’ve never offended her.”

Trying to argue at this point was pointless. But since Andrea wanted to, Catherine might as well cooperate with her.

Catherine tilted her chin and glanced at her. “You’re not familiar with me, but what about Audrey? You’re not familiar with her either?”

Andrea’s face immediately showed a disdainful expression when she heard Audrey’s name. “So, this is why you’re here. Grandpa, Audrey is just a celebrity that Triston is keeping outside. She tried to give me money to make me leave Triston.”

Andrea kept complaining to Erasmus about Audrey, portraying Audrey as a home-wrecker in her eyes. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Hearing her granddaughter’s words, Erasmus was naturally furious. He looked at Catherine with anger. “Did you come for this?”

Catherine said, “Mr. Silva, the affairs of the heart are common among people. I never interfere in Audrey’s love matters. Besides, the right and wrong of the situation haven’t been determined. Audrey and Triston were in a relationship before, and the Silvas approached the Lamberts for marriage afterward. Now, Triston is entangled with Audrey.

“He would rather sever ties with the Lamberts to avoid marrying Miss Silva. I don’t know what’s wrong with Miss Silva that Mr. Lambert doesn’t like. He would rather give up the ties of blood relationship than marry her.”

This statement made the faces of the Silvas particularly gloomy. Andrea, in particular, displayed embarrassment and anger and glared at Catherine.

Not long ago, Triston publicly announced his separation from the Lamberts. Others didn’t know the inside story, but the Silvas were well aware.

Triston wanted to sever ties with the Lamberts because he didn’t like Andrea.

Erasmus ordered everyone not to discuss this matter. Such embarrassing matters were only gossiped about within the Silvas. Naturally, they wouldn’t bring it out into the open.

Now, Catherine had publicly exposed this shame, making it even more embarrassing.

Erasmus was puzzled and looked at Catherine. “If it’s not a romantic dispute, why are you targeting the Silvas and demanding Andrea from us?”

Catherine directed her gaze at Andrea and observed her unrepentant demeanor. Andrea still thought she could escape the consequences. What a joke.

“Do you think you can get away with it just because Emma won’t expose you? Do you really believe that your actions are flawless?” asked Catherine.

Andrea’s eyes widened in astonishment when she heard this. She looked at Catherine in disbelief and muttered under her breath. “How is that even possible? I have…”

“You’ve erased all the evidence and even used a new phone and a new network to contact Emma, so how come I can still trace you, right?” Catherine retorted.

As Andrea heard Catherine’s words, a sense of terror washed over her. It seemed to Andrea that Catherine could read minds. Whatever she wanted to say, Catherine seemed to already know.

“No need to guess. With your intelligence, there’s no way you could figure it out.” Catherine’s words were full of mockery.

Andrea hated Catherine the most for this. Unfortunately, she had no way to change it.

Seeing Andrea acting foolishly, Catherine stopped circling around the issue and directly told her the truth. ” I’ve known Shane for many years. He’s got my people around him.”

Andrea immediately woke up when she heard this. To thoroughly ruin Audrey, she had conspired with Shane, Catherine’s mortal enemy.

Shane wanted to deal with Catherine, so he was willing to fan the flames as long as it harmed Catherine.

Otherwise, with their abilities alone, they wouldn’t have been able to escalate public opinion to such an extent.

Realizing that Catherine had discovered everything she had done, Andrea was unsure of what to do, and her face turned ashen.

Observing his granddaughter’s performance, Erasmus understood the truth.

In the business world, deceitful tactics were used to handle people, and he didn’t consider it a big deal. If his granddaughter could use such methods to marry into the Lamberts and become Triston’s wife, he would be happy for her.

But Andrea was useless. Not only did she fail, but she also brought trouble to their doorstep.

Erasmus’s face darkened, and he gave the ultimatum. “Andrea, I don’t care what you’ve done. But as long as you damage the reputation of the Silvas, you will no longer be a part of the Silvas.

Andrea forced a bitter smile. She understood her grandfather’s meaning. She looked up at Erasmus, a touch of sadness in her eyes. “Grandpa, rest assured. I’ll bear the consequences of my actions.”

After saying this, she turned to face Catherine. “I admit it was me who contacted Shane. I orchestrated the entire plan to frame Audrey. If you want revenge, just come to me. But this has nothing to do with the Silvas. Please let them go.”

Catherine assessed the situation. Despite Andrea’s arrogant posture, she preferred Andrea over Emma. She didn’t deny Andrea’s intelligence but lamented that Andrea had used it in the wrong place.

“Give me a reason to spare the Silvas,” said Catherine.
