Chapter 189 She’s Right
In Rachael’s eyes, Adrien asking about Catherine all of a sudden must be a result of Donna’s saying
something in advance.
She had told Donna about this before she came back to the Langs’. With a smile on her face, she went
forward and settled her smiling gaze on Adrien.
“Adrien, great thing that you came today. I have a favor to ask of you.”
Adrien stared at her with a casual expression. “We’re family. No need to stand on ceremony.”
Rachael gave a faint smile and then turned to look at Catherine. Her soft eyes immediately turned
steely when they were fixed on Catherine. She was actually displeased but still acted as if she was
amiable and helpless.
“You know, Catherine is quite a concern to me. She didn’t grow up by my side. When she lived in the
countryside, she learned some martial arts. After coming back, she just doesn’t take anyone seriously.
She can’t stand any criticism from anyone. Otherwise, she would just flare up like a bomb.
“Well, I really don’t know how to discipline her. It is said that one can be trained in the army. So, I’m
wondering if you can do me a favor and get her into the army for a few years.”
Normally, if a boy was too mischievous and behaved badly with poor academic performance, his family
would send him into the army. In this way, the boy might be able to pick up good habits and restrain
himself.
Yet, this approach was usually applied to boys. It was the first time that someone would actually mean
to send her daughter into the army at such a young age. The other people all realized Catherine’s
status in the Swanns upon hearing that.

As the topic of discussion, Catherine was still sitting there with no regard to the discussion, as if she
had nothing to do with what her mother was saying.
It turned out that seizing her shares was the first move of Rachael and the others, and the second
move was to send her away.
In the army, absolute obedience was the rule. Once she joined the army, it wouldn’t be easy for her to
get out. However, even if the Swanns worked with the Langs, they still wouldn’t make it.
Noticing that Catherine still remained composed, Audrey was really worried if Catherine knew the
severity of this matter.
As Adrien was about to speak, Audrey finally couldn’t help herself and said, To the army? No way!
Kathy is still studying at school. She’ll have to take the SAT in a few months. Her academic
performance is not bad. We can’t hold her up.”
Audrey didn’t know how Catherine’s academic performance was. She was simply worried that
Catherine would suffer a lot in the army.
Upon hearing Audrey’s words, the Swanns and Donna all looked at her with disgruntlement. Their eyes
were really fierce. Rachael just snapped, “Audrey was somewhat well-behaved before.
Nevertheless, after Catherine came back, they spent some time together. Now, Audrey has become so
bad- mannered. It’s my failure that my daughters become what they are now.” After saying that, she
turned around and emphasized this to Adrien again.
“Adrien, you must help me with this! If this goes on, I’m worried that my daughters will be all ruined.”
She acted like a helpless mother. Getting called in public, Audrey looked pale instantly. She knew that
Rachael disliked her but never expected that Rachael would criticize her ruthlessly in plain sight.
Hearing that, Catherine coldly glanced at Rachael, her eyes with grave gloominess. No one noticed
that Catherine’s aura had turned cold at once.
Hearing that, Adrien raised his head to look at Catherine. His eyes were profoundly solemn as if he
was about to lecture a junior.
“Are you still studying? How is your academic performance? Is it satisfactory?” Catherine arched her
brows and took a look at him. Before she could reply, Liana stepped forward.
“Catherine can’t adapt herself to the school at all. She falls asleep almost in every class. The final bell
is like her alarm clock. As the bell rings, she will wake up and go home with her bag!”
What she hoped for most now was that Catherine could go away and had better be sent into the army.
This way, Catherine wouldn’t cause trouble for them anymore.
Then, the Swanns could also get back on track and Liana could be the lady of Swanns happily again.
Liana pointed that out in a teasing tone with a smile on her face, just like an innocent girl.
The other people all looked at Catherine with sarcasm. Some of them even couldn’t help laughing with
a disdainful expression.
Catherine placed her chin on her hand and her elbow on the armrest. With her eyes slightly narrowed,
she cracked a sinister smile and watched Liana.
After Liana finished speaking, Adrien shifted his gaze to Catherine, his eyes intense and piercing. His
voice was husky but not majestic, with a hidden hint of teasing.
“Oh yeah? Catherine, is what your sister said true?”

As she was mentioned, Catherine raised her head slowly and took a look at Liana. Liana
subconsciously looked away, not daring to meet Catherine’s eyes.
Every time she looked into Catherine’s eyes, she would feel frightened. She didn’t expect Adrien would
ask again. She was afraid that Catherine would disclose her real academic performance. Then, she
would be totally embarrassed.
Catherine slept in class every day, but she still had better grades than Liana. If this got out, it would
make Liana so useless. Liana had a guilty conscience! After all, she didn’t reveal the whole truth.
Catherine smiled coldly and unconcernedly.
“She’s right!”
She directly admitted that Liana was right. After all, Liana didn’t lie. Catherine did sleep in class every
day and still came top in class. Catherine’s acknowledgment made Liana let out a sigh of relief.
Rachael also felt a surge of wild joy.
Rachael couldn’t wait to make Catherine look even worse. “Adrien, as you can see, I really can’t
discipline her, given her attitude. If possible, please send her to the army.”
Adrien took a meaningful look at her and then slowly said, “Catherine is still young. She’s about to take
the SAT. At her age, it’s better to take the SAT. Since she has spent so many years at school, there’s
no need to give up at this moment.”
Seeing that her plan was about to fail, Rachael felt anxious. She kept winking at Donna, signaling
Donna to help. Donna knew Adrien well. She was aware that Adrien only cared about what Enzo said.
After receiving the hint, Enzo took a look at Catherine. He was rather dissatisfied with what she had
done. The Langs wouldn’t allow such a country girl to wreck the family’s reputation.
He cleared his throat and showed his superior position as the head of the family. Adrien hastened to
say respectfully,” Father, what’s the matter?”
