Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 694: Catherine Blanchett’s Final Fate

She looked up in horror and saw that Samuel Dalton, who had been leaning lazily against the wall, had somehow moved to the small table in the lounge.

The small knife he had just thrown was actually the fruit knife from the fruit plate on that table.

When Catherine Blanchett looked at him, his expressionless face showed a gaze filled with chilling murderous intent.

"If you continue, it won’t be so simple."

Samuel Dalton threatened blatantly.

Catherine Blanchett heard the threat in his words and immediately dared not speak again.

She quickly distanced herself from her previous seat, curling up her body.

The people in the room didn’t expect Samuel Dalton to make such a sudden move.

Mr. Dalton was a bit surprised by Samuel’s action but remained silent.

Anyone with eyes could see Mr. Dalton’s favoritism towards Samuel.

Patriarch Blanchett also didn’t expect Samuel Dalton to react so strongly.

Initially, he didn’t pay much attention to this third son of the Dalton Family, who rarely appeared in public, but after seeing him tonight standing beside Mr. Dalton, coupled with Mr. Dalton’s attitude towards him, his skills, and his aura...

This made Patriarch Blanchett reevaluate Samuel Dalton.

"Miss Blanchett, let’s part ways amicably; there’s no need to say more."

Sidney Dalton’s face was also somewhat displeased, but he maintained his composure and etiquette.

After all, what Catherine Blanchett just said was almost a curse against Sidney Dalton.

If not for maintaining his dignity, he might have turned and left directly.

After Sidney Dalton finished speaking, Mr. Dalton gave Patriarch Blanchett a deep look and said, "I hope Patriarch Blanchett will rectify the family conduct properly, farewell."

After leaving these words, he turned and left the lounge directly.

After Mr. Dalton left, Sidney and Samuel Dalton also followed suit and departed.

In the lounge, only Patriarch Blanchett and Catherine Blanchett remained.

Patriarch Blanchett glanced at Catherine Blanchett, and the events of the day flashed in his mind.

Although those guests politely claimed they wouldn’t mind today’s events,

there are no walls entirely impervious to the wind, and with so many people, so many mouths, it was impossible for all to keep silent.

There are still people unafraid of the Blanchett Family.

Especially those who have long harbored grudges against the Blanchett Family...

Those people would certainly not let this opportunity pass.

Kane Blanchett knew that after tonight, it would surely bring turbulence to the Blanchett Family’s business.

But more importantly, for now, is to stabilize the family’s reputation first.

Otherwise, even Rosalind Blanchett, whom the family is currently focusing on cultivating, would be affected.

Patriarch Blanchett looked at Catherine Blanchett once more, his eyes devoid of any familial affection, only coldness remained.

"The Blanchett Family will arrange a marriage alliance for you; clean up your act by then."

"Just in time, there are a few wealthy merchants from The Western Reach who want to cooperate with the Blanchett Family. You’ll stay in The Western Reach in the future."

At this point, it’s naturally impossible to arrange a marriage between Catherine Blanchett and Sidney Dalton.

The Dalton Family would not accept such a family head’s wife.

However, Patriarch Blanchett didn’t want to see his years of cultivation go to waste, instead bringing him further losses.

He was thinking of ways to squeeze out Catherine Blanchett’s last bit of value.

Catherine Blanchett looked up hurriedly at Kane Blanchett’s words, "No... No!!! Father, I don’t want to go to The Western Reach!"

In Catherine Blanchett’s eyes, The Western Reach was a barren land, everything still undeveloped.

Moreover, there was only the Mardane Desert, very arid.

If she went there, could she still enjoy the life of luxury and privilege as she did now?!

Moreover, from what she knew, those wealthy merchants in The Western Reach, were essentially nouveau riche!

They got rich overnight by sheer luck, stumbling upon mineral resources on that land.

Those barbarians filled with a rustic vibe were something Catherine Blanchett could not accept!

In her mind, the man worthy of her, at least, should be someone in power and with influence!

It definitely wouldn’t be one of those overweight, boorish nouveau riche!

For a moment, Catherine Blanchett couldn’t care about anything else, her mind overwhelmed by Patriarch Blanchett’s words.

No! No way!

If that were the case, her entire life would truly be ruined!

Unfortunately, Patriarch Blanchett had already exhausted his patience with Catherine Blanchett.

Upon hearing her, a trace of disgust flickered in his eyes, "You think I’d still give you a chance?!"

"This is the last thing you can do for the Blanchett Family now, be content!"

Leaving those words, Patriarch Blanchett turned away, unwilling to face Catherine Blanchett any longer.

"No!... Father! Please!"

Catherine Blanchett hurriedly chased after him.

But just as she reached the door, the bodyguards beside Patriarch Blanchett stopped her.

"Let go of me!"

Catherine Blanchett struggled, pounding on the bodyguards.

But the bodyguards did not release her.

Patriarch Blanchett glanced slightly back, looking at Catherine Blanchett in her frantic and terrified state, a trace of ridicule in his eyes.

"Take her back, and confine her. Do not allow her to come out until the marriage is settled."

With these words, Catherine Blanchett’s fate was sealed.

Catherine’s heart immediately sank into despair.

It was two days later when Selena Kensington learned about the final resolution for Catherine Blanchett by the Blanchett Family.

She was on the balcony outside her bedroom, lying on a deck chair.

Beside her, Sterling Norwood was feeding her fruits.

Hearing Sterling Norwood recount the final fate of Catherine Blanchett decided by the Blanchett Family, Selena Kensington sighed.

"That Patriarch Blanchett is really ruthless..."

With everything that happened, Catherine Blanchett’s reputation in Aethelgard was already ruined.

Moreover, with what she had done, which of Aethelgard’s noble families would dare to marry her?

They have no interest in marrying a venomous viper.

So the Blanchett Family chose those newly risen wealthy merchants in The Western Reach.

The Western Reach is somewhat far from Aethelgard, with slow communication.

Moreover, many of those wealthy merchants were locals of The Western Reach, accustomed to a wild demeanor, even in business they carried a hint of banditry.

So when Catherine Blanchett went there, it was uncertain if she could remain as arrogant and domineering as she was in Aethelgard.

Sterling Norwood offered her a slice of orange, and Selena Kensington opened her mouth to eat it.

Afterward, Sterling Norwood spoke slowly, "That’s how the Blanchett Family is, if Kane Blanchett invested heavily in nurturing them, he wouldn’t rest until all their exploitable value was squeezed dry."

In the eyes of The Blanchett Family, familial affection was pitifully scarce.

And in Kane Blanchett’s eyes, if a person still had worth, his attitude would be different.

As for Catherine Blanchett, after investing so many resources, when it was time to reap results, she caused so many troubles instead.

The Blanchett Family not only failed to profit, but they were pushed further down a declining path.

So how could Kane Blanchett possibly tolerate Catherine Blanchett any longer?

Selena Kensington laughed softly and said, "Such a result is also good."
