Chapter 295 Tiberius Forces Catherine to Break Off the Engagement
Catherine raised an eyebrow slightly. "Where is Tiberius now? I'll go."
"He's on the rooftop of the Harrison family hotel. He said you should go alone. He also said if you don't go, he'll contact Juniper."
Catherine rubbed her temples, a cold smile appearing on her captivating face, her lips curving up with a hint of allure.
The people around her shivered!
When Catherine was the angriest, she didn't get mad; she smiled!
This smile was known within the Galactic Aurora Collective and along the border as the Grim Reaper's smile!
Catherine nodded slowly, her fingers cracking. "Very well, I'll remember him. You all stay here. Since someone has sincerely invited me, I must attend."
"Alright, don't worry about this side. Ms. Hughes is under our protection."
After all, Tiberius used his life as an invitation!
Catherine swung her long legs over the motorcycle and sped away, her entire aura dropping!
Emilia had just come out of the visitation room when she saw Catherine's departing figure. After hearing what Tiberius had done from Dubhe, she was stunned!
"What? Is Tiberius an idiot? Isn't Ms. Harrison his aunt? Anyone who didn't know would think he's Anthony's kid. So bad! Aren't you going with Catherine?"
Mercury shrugged. "There's always someone with Ms. Windsor, don't worry."
Besides the Galactic Aurora Collective, Catherine also had an entire mercenary team secretly protecting her, all arranged by Charles.
It was easy to shake those people off, but to avoid worrying Charles, Catherine kept them around.
The more Emilia thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. After a moment of hesitation, she dialed Alexander's number. "Mr. Howard, Catherine might be in danger. You need to help her!"
"Explain clearly!"
Emilia quickly explained what Tiberius had done, anxiously stomping her feet. "I'm afraid to tell Juniper, but what if Tiberius has another trap waiting for Catherine?"
After thinking it over, Emilia decided Alexander was the most reliable.
Judging by the way Alexander looked at Catherine, he wouldn't just stand by and do nothing if something happened to her!
Alexander laughed angrily, his voice cold and filled with murderous intent! "Damn Tiberius!"
Alexander's angry curse came through the receiver, followed by the sound of a car engine starting and Alexander's cold orders, and then the call was abruptly ended.
Hearing the commotion on the other end, it seemed Alexander was on his way!
Emilia finally breathed a sigh of relief!
At the rooftop of the hotel, Tiberius sat in a wheelchair, holding a glass of red wine, the swirling liquid glinting slightly in the sunlight.
Paloma sat in a chair beside him, her wrists tied behind her, looking at Tiberius in confusion. "What exactly do you want, Tiberius? If I had known you were like this, I would never have let your father adopt you!"
Tiberius took a sip of wine, furious! "I know you've looked down on me all these years, and so did Grandpa, but I don't care! Everything in the Harrison family will soon be mine!"
Paloma looked at the crazed Tiberius in disbelief. "What are you trying to do? Who are you using me to threaten?"
"Aunt, you should thank me. I even contacted your daughter. Do you want to see her?"Paloma's head felt like it was splitting open, a strong sense of pain making her feel like she was about to be torn apart!
'My child? When do I have a child?' She thought.
"What are you talking about? Let me go!"
Tiberius's phone had been on a call the whole time. He finally hung up and tossed the phone aside.
On the other end, Juniper jumped up from her chair, trembling all over!
Juniper didn't even bother putting on shoes, running barefoot straight to the Howard Mansion, shouting Evander's name. "Evander! Come out!"
Evander was startled by Juniper's voice. "What's wrong?"
Juniper's face was covered in tears, her facial muscles twitching from intense fear. She grabbed Evander's sleeve, sobbing. "Tiberius kidnapped Mom. Take me to find her, please!"
"Don't cry, I'll get the car right away!" Evander was equally shocked and confused. Seeing his state, Arabella in the garden spoke up to stop them. "If you drive like this, you'll all die together! Let the driver take you!"
The driver brought the car around, taking Juniper and Evander towards the Harrison family hotel.
Arabella adjusted her shawl, stood up, and watched the car speed away, tears welling in her eyes.
At the rooftop of the Harrison family hotel, the door to the rooftop was pushed open. Tiberius didn't turn around, sipping his wine with a light laugh. "Ms. Windsor, I hope you make the right choice."
Catherine stood behind him, her gaze terrifyingly cold. Paloma seemed to have fainted, her head drooping by the chair, her breathing steady.
"Ms. Windsor, how about it? If you choose to break off your engagement with Alexander and be with me, I'll let my aunt go!"
"You see, I'm the one who suits you best. Alexander is too scary; he won't truly love you." Tiberius took another sip of wine and continued, "Someone who doesn't care if his mother dies in front of him can't be a good husband, can he?"
Catherine sneered, "And you, a bastard, are a good husband?"
Tiberius's expression stiffened but quickly recovered. "Ms. Windsor, I also contacted Juniper to come over. Guess what she'll think if she sees you choosing a man over her mother?"
Tiberius's plan was simple: with Juniper here, Catherine would choose him to avoid upsetting Juniper!
After all, choosing him meant choosing Paloma!
"Ms. Windsor, you should choose me! If you break off your engagement with Alexander and marry me, My aunt will get better day by day, won't she?"
Catherine frowned. "Have you been aggravating her condition to make her relapse multiple times?"
Tiberius laughed heartily, shaking his head. "It was me, but not on purpose. I just didn't want her to get better too quickly. You know, if she were healthier, the family's assets would have nothing to do with me!"
Paloma was the smartest person in the Harrison family. If not for her poor health, Tiberius wouldn't have a chance at the family's inheritance.
Juniper's heavy breathing sounded behind Catherine.
She leaned against the wall, having rushed up, her feet bleeding from the run!
Tiberius saw Juniper and raised his glass to her from afar! "Ms. Windsor, you can make your choice now."
