Chapter 151 Sending the Brown Family's People to the Mass Grave
The Brown family all burst into screams!
"Catherine, have you lost your mind? How can you treat Brent like this!"
But seeing Catherine in this state, none of them dared to step forward and stop her!
What if Catherine went crazy and started hitting them too?
Brent was the most desperate one!
He could feel his nose and mouth filled with a strange smell, disgusting and sticky. Just thinking about what it was made him sick, but he didn't even have the strength to break free from Catherine's grip and throw up!
How could Catherine be so strong?!
He was a grown man, yet he couldn't even break free from her one hand!
Catherine showed no mercy, pressing Brent's head back and forth in the chicken droppings by the roadside.
Tears streamed down Brent's face, more and more unknown substances filling his mouth. His eyes rolled back and he passed out on the spot!
Catherine dropped his head and dusted off her hands. "Useless fool. Can't even handle this, yet you dare to talk big."
She looked at Declan and Anouk and let out a light laugh.
"Your turn. Do you want to do it yourselves, or should I do it for you?"
Declan and Anouk trembled with fear!
Do what? Do what for them?
Hadn't she just slapped them? Surely that slap counted for something?
Catherine walked forward and grabbed Declan by the collar, looking at him with disgust.
"Sorry, I forgot I already hit you. But looking at you makes me angry. You actually dared to dig up my grandmother's grave? Looks like you really love graves! Fine, this time I'll let you enjoy them to your heart's content!"
"You're crazy! Catherine! Put me down! I'm your grandfather!"
Grandfather?
She had no use for a grandfather who had nearly sent her to meet death several times!
Back then, Declan had tried repeatedly to steal her away from Elodie and dump her somewhere, just because she was a girl!
Abandoning her was one thing, but making Elodie so heartbroken, constantly mocking Elodie—the image of Elodie crying in the middle of the night had always stayed in Catherine's memory!
She picked up Declan and threw him straight into the mass grave nearby. With one kick, Declan rolled down the slope screaming!
Tranquil County had experienced war many years ago, and the area below was full of human bones. As soon as Declan went down, he started screaming!
Soon the screams died down—he must have passed out too.
Catherine looked at Anouk, tilting her head and showing the two shallow dimples on her face, smiling with innocent sweetness. Anouk thought Catherine probably wouldn't hurt her.
"Catherine, I've always been good to you."
Catherine's smile disappeared. She kicked Anouk's large waist and shoved the unconscious Brent down too!
"Go on, a family should stay together."
Anouk's screams echoed through the mass grave, then quickly faded.
Catherine turned to face Oliver and Celeste.
"You two—are you going down yourselves, or should I send you down personally?"
Oliver and Celeste tried to sneak away, but Catherine's gaze locked onto them!
Catherine must be crazy now!
"Catherine, we're family. You can't treat us like this! Just pull your grandparents up and apologize to them properly, and we'll all pretend nothing happened."
Oliver admitted he was really scared now!
He never expected Catherine alone could beat up three members of the Brown family! Brent was a grown man who'd been in street fights since childhood, yet even he couldn't beat Catherine.
Catherine smiled.
"Pretend nothing happened? Sorry, I can't pretend nothing happened."
She walked toward Celeste and Oliver step by step.
"When I wanted to pretend nothing happened, you insisted on coming after me, demanding money and ruining my reputation everywhere."
A flash of embarrassment crossed Celeste's face!
She had worried Catherine might try to return to the Smith family, so she had indeed said some bad things about Catherine in their social circle. But how did Catherine know all this?
This shouldn't be possible.
Celeste didn't know that while they hadn't watched the Windsor family's birthday party livestream for Catherine, their friends had.
Who would be foolish enough to openly go against the Windsor family?
Plus, Celeste had publicly announced she was cutting ties with Catherine, so those people understood what was really going on. Many had voluntarily contacted the Windsor family and told Charles what kind of life Catherine had lived before.
To gain favor with the Windsor family, they had generously sold out Celeste!
After all, everyone knew the Windsor family and the Smith family were worlds apart!
"When I wanted everyone to be civil and not make trouble for each other, what were you doing? You wanted to dig up my grandmother's grave to bury the Brown family! Did you ever think about where my grandmother would be buried then?"
"I don't care how you treated me in the past, because you're all just ants to me. But you should never, ever have disturbed my grandmother's peace."
This was something she absolutely would not allow!
Catherine raised her hand and slapped Oliver several times!
"These slaps are on behalf of my grandmother."
After hitting him, she kicked Oliver, wheelchair and all, watching him roll down into the mass grave.
Celeste sat on the ground, trembling as she looked at Catherine!
She really had gone crazy!
"I'm your mother! How can you treat me like this?"
Catherine crouched down and grabbed Celeste's chin!
"Does Oliver know you betrayed him? Guess what—when he saw the paternity test report, did he really believe you and think Clara was actually his child?"
Celeste's eyes widened.
What did this mean?
Did Oliver suspect something?
"No, I don't understand what you're saying."
Catherine smiled. "Celeste, you know Oliver best. What kind of person he is—I don't need to tell you."
What kind of person was Oliver? Cunning, greedy for wealth, stingy, suspicious...
"Back then, he left me with Elodie to raise because you said I didn't look like him, right? So guess what—won't he suspect Clara's parentage too?"
Celeste's heart filled with shock and fear!
Oliver might not have suspected Clara's parentage before, but after seeing the paternity test Catherine left behind when she left, he definitely would!
Catherine stood up and stepped on Celeste's face—the face she'd spent a fortune maintaining.
Once, because Celeste needed to maintain her appearance, Elodie had a stroke and nearly didn't survive!
These were all debts she needed to repay, not one less.
"Guess what—if Oliver already suspects, why hasn't he come after you all this time?"
Celeste was in too much pain to speak, but her heart filled with terror.
Catherine's voice was like a curse!
"Of course it's because he has other children now!"
Before Celeste could react, Catherine kicked her in the waist. The family was finally all together.
Catherine dusted off her hands and looked at the bracelet on her wrist, a smile spreading across her face.
Elodie, did you see all of that?
"Don't worry about me—I'm very happy!"
