?Chapter 629:


    Cathy nervously asked, “Will Kason get punished?”


    Kirby’s face grew grim, and his eyes hardened. “Kason won’t be seriously affected. As for you… starting today, you’re grounded until this storm blows over.”


    Cathy wasn’t thrilled about being stuck at home, but she wasn’t foolish enough to defy her grandfather. She lowered her head, her tone meek. “I understand. I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad. I won’t do it again.”


    Kirby couldn’t bring himself to yell at her anymore. If it hadn’t been for the involvement of the former president, he wouldn’t have raised his voice.


    “Now, stand up. Behave yourself and avoid causing any trouble with Elena, got it?”


    Cathy nodded. “Got it.”


    Seeing that Kirby had calmed down, Cathy stood and hurried to his side, hoping to get back on his good side. She lowered her head, trying to hide the anger burning in her eyes. She hadn’t expected Elena to have connections to such a powerful figure. She wasn’t going to let it go!


    Cathy was determined to make Elena pay twice over for making her grandfather yell at her.


    After calming Kirby down, Cathy managed to stay home for a whole day before she grew restless. When Yvette called, she ignored Kirby’s orders and snuck out.


    Cathy drove straight to the restaurant where Elena was dining. Casually grabbing a bottle of red wine, she marched right over to her.


    Cathy stormed over to Elena, her face twisted with anger as she shouted, “You lowlife! How dare youe to my family’s restaurant to eat? Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”


    Hermanding presence froze the room, leaving everyone too stunned to intervene.


    Elena remained calm as she gently set down her cutlery. In one smooth motion, she twisted Cathy’s wrist, and a sharp crack echoed through the room.


    Cathy’s face turned pale as her fingers went limp.


    Catching a falling wine bottle with her other hand, Elena poured herself a ss and then gazed at Cathy with a rxed demeanor. “Still haven’t learned your lesson, have you?” she asked with a slow, mocking tone.


    Rumor had it that Kason had been urgently summoned by the former president the previous night and received a severe warning, suggesting that Cathy had likely been reprimanded by her family.

    Elena hadn’t expected Cathy to cause trouble so soon.


    Elena swirled the wine ss, the crimson liquid dancing along the transparent rim, her slender fingers elegant and cool.


    Cathy, enduring the pain, her forehead dotted with sweat, clutched her wrist and shot Elena a venomous look. “Mark my words. You’ll regret this!” she hissed.


    Elena remained unfazed by Cathy’s threats. Cathy posed no threat to her. But if the entire Garrett family decided to defend Cathy, that might prove challenging.


    Elena released her grip, and Cathy immediately retreated.


    Yvette rushed to Cathy’s side, her voice filled with fury as she yelled at Elena, “How dare you touch Cathy! This is the end for you. The Garrett family will never let you get away with this!”


    “Really?” Elena’s smirk broadened, and her gaze locked on Cathy. “I wonder if Kirby knows you’re here picking fights?”


    Elena looked at Cathy nonchntly, not missing the fleeting unease on Cathy’s face.


    Ever arrogant and reckless, Cathy had always acted without thinking, paying no heed to the consequences of her actions. Kirby, however, was sharp and grasped…
