Chapter 60: Held the Fort

Franklin finally spoke. He turned his head and saw Quinn. When he lowered his head again, he saw Lauren’s round head.

“Did she really say that you’re a wild child?”

Lauren nodded silently.

Although Franklin did not see Lauren’s expression and only saw the top of her head, he could sense her grievance.

Catherine was still chattering on the side.

“We know you guys dislike Lauren the most, so I helped you teach her a lesson just now.”

“Our Brown Corporation has worked with you guys for so many years. Naturally, we don’t want your little sister to ruin the Torres family’s reputation.”

Catherine’s words were too dignified. She was immersed in her own world and could not extricate herself. She completely ignored the increasingly dark expressions on Franklin’s and Quinn’s faces.

“May I ask…how did you know that we dislike this sister the most?”

“Master Quinn, everyone is saying this.”

“Do you believe it when everyone is saying this? There are even rumors of your husband having an affair every few days. So…is this also true?”

Quinn was best at criticizing others. He would feel uncomfortable if he did not quarrel with anyone for a day.

Catherine said, “Master Quinn, what are you talking about? Of course I can’t believe it. Herbert told me that it was all for social gatherings.”

Quinn said, “Whether the affair is true or not, you will know in the future. Now, apologize immediately.”

“Apologize? To…to whom?”

“Of course to my dear sister. You called her a wild child. Shouldn’t you apologize to her?”

The frivolity in Quinn’s tone disappeared completely and was replaced by solemnity and ruthlessness.

“I have to apologize to her?!” Catherine was used to being unreasonable by relying on her position in the Brown Corporation and the Brown family. She could not lower her head for a moment when she was asked to apologize to such a little girl.

“Yes, apologize to Lauren.”

Lauren was now 100% sure that Quinn was actually here to support her!

She was shocked!

Catherine did not fare well with Quinn, so she turned to Franklin.

However, before she could say anything, Franklin seemed to have figured out her intentions. “My brother is right. You really should apologize to my sister.”

She had no choice but to lower her head.

Catherine did not dare to say anything more and apologized to Lauren in a confused manner.

Her voice was soft and insincere. Lauren was happy now since someone was protecting her.

She became playful and put her hand beside her ear on purpose.

“What? I didn’t hear it?!”

Catherine moved her lips, but she was unwilling to speak.

“I didn’t hear it either,” Quinn added.

“I didn’t hear it either.” Ben joined the team.

Catherine turned to look at Franklin for help.

Franklin was a CEO and had always been known for his composure and courtesy. He would definitely not make things difficult for her like they did.

Unexpectedly, Franklin said, “Eh? Mrs. Brown, have you apologized already? Why didn’t I hear it?”

Catherine was defeated in this round.

In the end, Catherine apologized to Lauren. She was so loud that even the staff standing outside the door heard it.

The farce finally came to an end, and the few of them got up from the sofa.

“Mrs. Brown, even if my sister did something, it’s not up to you to teach her a lesson. Do you understand?”

Before Quinn left, he smiled at Catherine again. This time, Catherine did not think that this was still a friendly smile.

This was clearly hiding a dagger behind a smile. Catherine only smiled dully and did not say anything.

“Mrs. Brown, in view of what happened today, the Torres Corporation will reconsider the business partnership with the Brown Corporation.”

Franklin tidied up his sleeves calmly and patted the dust that did not exist at all.

He dropped this sudden news so casually as he walked past Catherine.

This frightened Catherine. This partnership was not a small matter!

She quickly chased after him and grabbed Franklin’s clothes in a moment of desperation.

Franklin frowned, and Catherine quickly released him. Her voice was trembling.

“President Torres, this matter has nothing to do with the Brown Corporation. The partnership can’t be stopped!”

The Brown Corporation was able to survive because of the partnership with the Torres Corporation. If the partnership was stopped…

Catherine did not even dare to think about the consequences.

“This matter is indeed a private matter. Logically speaking, it has nothing to do with the partnership. However, as a person, I like to use office matters to seek personal revenge occasionally.”

After saying this, Franklin also left the house.

Catherine’s face lost all color when she heard what Franklin said. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

Lauren followed behind Franklin. When she walked passed Catherine, she made a face at her.
