Chapter 399: Your Highness, of Noble Name and Low Position

When Zhou Ming told the Candini family at Candini Investment Bank about the possible trouble that Iron Pentacost Caitlin might encounter, he could never have imagined that the actual trouble Caitlin faced would be even greater than he had imagined.

Also on the morning of 21 May, at the White Hill Manor in the north of Brighton, the head of the Adams family, Christo, angrily arrived at the villa where Cate Kate's residence. The housekeeper at the door immediately stopped him: 'Mr. Christo, please wait. This is Her Highness Kate's room. You need to wait here for a moment... Ah!'

However, before the housekeeper could finish speaking, Christo could not help but grab her by the hair and roar at the top of his voice, 'You bastard! What are you doing blocking me? What the fuck is the Prince's room? I'll tell you now, this is all the Adams family's place, and you have no right to speak here!'

The housekeeper was full of pain, but she was still stubborn and said, 'Damn you, rascal! You are the one who has no qualifications. You are just a bastard. It is a great honour for you to be here with His Highness...ah!'

Christo grimaced and applied more pressure, making the housekeeper scream even louder. The black female bodyguard next to her heard the sound and subconsciously wanted to come over and stop it, but then Christo pointed at her and said coldly, 'What do you want? Have you forgotten that I pay your salary? Don't think that just because you're Harburg's whore, you're really a royal guard!'

Hearing him say this, the black female bodyguard immediately froze in place, because she understood that what Christo said was true.

'Damn it, what are you still doing there? Hasn't His Highness paid you a salary? You heartless bastard!'

The housekeeper saw that the black bodyguard really didn't dare to move, so she immediately scolded her, but her scolding didn't last long and she turned into a wail again.

'You really are a stupid bitch! Maybe I should just leave you here in the White Mountain Forest to be eaten by the wolves. Caitlin is a little bitch, the princess of Harrowsburg. I can't touch her, but you, you worthless old hag, I have no qualms about!' Christo said to the housekeeper, laughing maniacally as he tugged on her hair.

'Mr. Kristo, since you still know that I am the princess of Harburg, please stop!'

Suddenly a clear voice came from somewhere, and Kristo looked up subconsciously to see a slender figure in a golden dress standing there. Her facial features were exquisite, like the most exquisite doll. Who else could it be but Caitlin?

The housekeeper took advantage of the moment when Kristoff's grip on her suddenly weakened to pull out her hair and run to Caitlyn.

'Your Highness, why are you out here? This rubbish is an affront to you!' the housekeeper said to Caitlyn.

Caitlyn said, 'What blasphemy? It's not the 100 years ago anymore. Besides, if he really wants to come in, you can't stop him, can you?'

The housekeeper lowered her head in embarrassment and apologized to Caitlyn.

On the other side, after Christo had fiercely tugged at the housekeeper's hair and listened to her screams, it seemed that his anger had been cut down a lot. He bowed to Caitlyn and said, 'Your Highness Caitlyn, I think I need to apologize to you for what just happened. Please forgive my rudeness.'

'As it is, I don't think my forgiveness or lack thereof is necessary. Besides, if Mr. Christo has anything to say, please come out into the courtyard and talk. There are tables and chairs in the courtyard where I often read, and I won't let you stand, Mr. Christo; all the women in the Harthburg family are not allowed to casually enter the rooms of any man other than family members and husbands, so please understand.'

After saying this, Caitlyn led the housekeeper out of the house first, heading towards the tables and chairs in the courtyard. As she passed the female bodyguard, Caitlyn glanced at her, but the bodyguard just kept her head down, not daring to make eye contact.

'Of course I am more than willing to abide by the Harburg family's rules,'

After saying this, Christo followed Caitlin over and sat down on the garden chair. The black female bodyguard seemed to understand how cowardly and unsatisfactory her actions had been, and that they went against her professional beliefs, so she immediately went to make two cups of tea and brought them to Caitlin and Christo, trying to alleviate her guilt and win over her employer by acting like a servant.

Christo glanced down at the teacup: 'Did that Chinese person teach you this habit of drinking tea?'

Caitlin took a sip from her teacup and told him softly, 'I'm sorry to say that it wasn't. This has been a habit in our family for a long time. Perhaps you don't know, Mr. Christo, that in the past, drinking tea was a luxury only enjoyed by the top noble families of European high society.'

Putting down the teacup, Caitlin asked, 'Well, Mr. Christo, can you tell me why you're here today?'

'This morning I received some very interesting news. The Chinese man who had been hiding out at the Kenney Investment Bank suddenly left the building yesterday and went to the Quincy Restaurant at Harvard University, without telling anyone in the Kenney family. As far as I know, Your Highness Caitlyn also went there yesterday, didn't you? I don't think it's a coincidence,' Christo asked.

'Of course it wasn't a coincidence. I went to meet that Huaxia person you mentioned yesterday,' Caitlyn answered very directly.

'Your Highness Caitlyn has indeed inherited the fine traditions of the Harburg family. You are very honest, but I still have an impolite request. I would like to ask Your Highness Caitlyn to recount the entire situation of your meeting with the Chinese person, including the purpose of your meeting and how you contacted each other.'

As soon as Kristoff finished speaking, the housekeeper behind Caitlyn couldn't help but say to him, 'Who do you think you are? Why would our Highness tell you this?'

Christo raised his finger and pointed at the housekeeper: 'I want to say that this is the last time I'm warning you. If you are disrespectful to me again, I will not let you off. Please believe that I will do it, even in front of Her Highness Caitlyn.'

The housekeeper was still very dissatisfied, but Caitlin spoke first: 'Mr. Christo, let's talk about what happened yesterday. Since you're so curious, it's fine if I tell you. In fact, we just went out to meet for dinner. It was simple. Because I had been to Huaxia once before, and I had met him once when I was in Yanjing, so we were just catching up more than anything else.'

'I did know that Her Highness Caitlyn had been to Huaxia, but I never expected that Her Highness had already met that Huaxian at that time. This is truly surprising!'

Cri Christo said with emotion, but then he changed the subject and asked, 'I always thought my memory was quite good, so I remember that Your Highness went to Huaxia at least four years ago, right? How come you, who only met each other once, have kept in touch?'

'Does Mr. Christo want to control even my friendships? It seems even my father doesn't have this right!' Caitlyn said.

'Of course I'm not trying to control you, but Your Highness Caitlyn, you are now working for my Adams family, and as the head of the Adams family, I must understand for the safety of the family,' said Cristo.

'I I can understand your good intentions, Mr. Kristo, but this time you really are overcomplicating things,' said Caitlyn. 'I admit that it was very improper of me to meet privately with the Huaxia person Zhou Ming at this time. I can also apologize to you, Mr. Kristo, but as for...'

'Your Your Highness Caitlyn, you are a Harusburg noble, and I believe you will have your own beliefs and not defend a despicable and filthy Huaxia person, right?' Christo interrupted Caitlyn's words with some impatience.

This Caitlyn did not answer immediately, but looked at Christo for a while before asking, 'If that is the case, then please, Mr. Christo, give me an answer, okay?'

Christo's eyes narrowed into a dangerous needle: 'Your Highness, what do you mean?'

'Because I don't think Mr. Kristo likes my answer,' Caitlyn said. "So please, Mr. Kristo, tell me what kind of answer you want, and I'll give it to you.'

As soon as Caitlyn finished speaking, Kristo slammed his hand down on the table and said, "Enough! Cait Your Highness Caitlyn, do you really think that just because I called you 'Your Highness' you are really a princess? Don't forget your current identity, and don't forget that you are not in your Harburg, this is the Adams family's White Mountain Castle, and I am the head of the Adams family!'

'T Trefon and Keyi. These two investments have been very strange lately,' asked Christo with a menacing expression. 'Did you secretly contact each other through these two actions? What is your real goal?'

Facing Caitlyn just sat there without saying a word in the face of Christo's questioning. Seeing this, Christo calmed down: 'Judging from His Highness's reaction, I was right. It seems that your contact is really related to these two transactions. So what is it?'

Cait still sat there without saying a word. Christo said coldly to her, 'Your Highness Caitlyn, do you really want to continue to confront me like this? It seems that you no longer want to help your father, is that right?'

'Are you threatening me?' Caitlyn questioned.

Christo stretched his arms out: 'I'm very sorry, but I don't want to do this either, but unfortunately, who are you not to cooperate?'

Cait Kate took a deep breath: 'Okay, I understand. I'll tell you everything.'

Kate then told Christo how they passed messages back and forth using the names of the companies Tryffyn and Coe, and also said that she had already agreed agreed to Ming Chow that if he could beat her, she would give up helping the Addams family.

'That's the way things are. I think it's necessary for me to say that Mr. Kristo, it's better if you don't know...'

Kate hadn't finished speaking, Christo once again slammed his hands down on the table and angrily said to Cateline, 'You damned bitch, you've betrayed the Addams family, scum! I should have known that the Harlequin aristocrats are a bunch of despicable scoundrels. All you people care about is betrayal. It seems that Her Highness has seduced many men in this way!'

'I actually agreed to help your family and your father. This is truly a stupid deal. So now, I have to tell you that our deal is over. From now on, you will have no more involvement in the affairs of the Addams family. You, your father, and your family can all go to hell!

Cri The more Christo spoke, the more agitated he became, and at the end he overturned the table, spilling the tea on Caitlin's skirt. But Caitlin remained sitting there motionless until Christo angrily left.

'This Christo is so rude, like a barbarian!' The housekeeper grumbled, while kneeling on the lawn and wiping Caitlin's skirt.

Caitlin Caitlin smiled slightly: 'I remember the Chinese saying that one must bow under the same roof. This is especially true for me, a noblewoman with a prestigious title but a lowly status. Besides, it seems that I have already lost since yesterday when I made an appointment with Mr. Zhou Ming!'

The housekeeper paused for a moment, 'Your Highness, what are you doing?'

'The princess has done all she can. Now, I'll just wait for my knight to come and save me,' said Caitlyn.
