The Rise Of Nathalia Carter Chapter 631

"What's your plan?" asked Catherine.
Sean answered, "It is none of my business."
"What?" said Catherine surprisedly.
Catherine stared at Sean and asked, "You had promised your mother that you would help Pearl. If you don't help her, your mother will blame me."
"Drew will do it for me. I don't want to get involved," said Sean. He didn't want to see Pearl.
"You really dislike her."
"I don't want to see her?"
"By the way, what did you say to her last night? I saw that her eyes turned red. It seemed that she cried," asked Catherine.
Since Pearl was an arrogant person, Catherine thought Sean must say something terrible.
"I only warned her not to make any trouble again," said Sean.
Catherine supported his chin with one hand, "probably, you are making trouble."
Sean took the nail clippers and held her hand, "Don't move."
Catherine thought to herself, "What is he doing? He wants to do manicures for me?"
Catherine had cute and shining nails. Sean did manicures for her very carefully.
Catherine lowered her head, looking at Sean, "He had a perfect appearance and fair skin. Its facial structure was perfect too."
When Catherine reached out to her one hand to pinch his face, Sean said, "Stop. Be careful."
"Why do you do manicures for me?"
"Can you?"
Catherine immediately answered, "Of course, it would be better if you do manicures for me."
The sun poured in through the window, and the day was good.
"Since you want to teach a lesson to Pearl, why not help her? You shouldn't burn her warehouse."
Sean burnt Pearl's warehouse before the clothes were going to sell. For that, Pearl lost a lot of money, and her company's reputation was also damaged. People thought that there was no new design style from Taylor Inwood.

Sean frowned and looked at Catherine, "Who told you?"
"Pearl called me to seek help. She apologized to me and admitted that she set a trap for me. What a joke!"
"Why not tell me?"
"Um… I thought you wouldn't take the advice, so I didn't tell you. Do you know what I told her? I let her punish herself in the way she gave me. But she refused me. Thus, she came to seek help from your mother."
"Did she threaten you?"
"We just talked on the phone. Although Pearl threatened me in a scared voice, I fought back."
Sean was silent. He knew Pearl wouldn't give it up. She must take revenge.
"Listen. If Pearl calls you and asks you to go out again, you should ignore it and tell me."
"Okay."
Sean did a perfect manicure and smoothed the edges of her nails.
"I can't imagine the cool man is so careful," Catherine thought to herself.
"You know Pearl very well?"
"No."
"So, how can you believe me?"
Sean couldn't help but smile, "You are so stupid. How can you set a trap for others?"
"Hey. Don't be so ironic. I am not stupid."
"You are not smart too."
Catherine was speechless.
And then she added, "But Pearl knew you did it. Otherwise, she wouldn't ask me to help her."
"So what?"
Catherine frowned slightly, "Since that she knew, why not say it out? If she tells the truth, your parents won't support you, and her family members will hate you."
"It is not good for her."
"That makes sense."
Catherine got it.
Pearl didn't want to make the relationship worse. They needed Sean's support.
Most importantly, Sean must take revenge. In this way, people would know Pearl was a bad girl.

"She is quite bearable."
Sean said coldly, "Be careful. Do your job. Don't get involved."
"I don't want to get involved, and she should leave me alone."
The weekend had passed. Catherine couldn't ask for leave again, so she packed up and went back to school.
Sean sent her to the door of her university and said, "Call me if necessary. Don't pretend to be brave. Otherwise, I will punish you."
Catherine was speechless and said, "Fine. I got it."
As soon as Catherine stepped into her dorm, Ethel, Cecil, and Anna immediately walked over and made sure whether Catherine was good.
They were relieved when they knew Catherine was fine.
Ethel pouted her lips toward the balcony to tell Catherine that Madison was in her dorm.
She aimed to talk with Catherine.
"She came here in the afternoon, and she had been waiting for you all the time. I told her I don't know if you will come back, but she insisted and said something important."
Catherine thought to herself, "Why not call me? It is a little bit strange."
Suddenly, Catherine recalled the words Pearl told her and thought to herself, "Lawson and his son were fired? But why didn't they come to argue with me? Did Sean help me?"
"Sister Catherine, you are here?" asked Madison.
She heard Catherine's voice and got into the dorm as quickly as possible.
Catherine distributed the snacks to her roommates and said, "Let's go out and talk."
Anna was confused and asked, "They are cousins. Why does Madison come to the dorm to talk with Cathy?"
"Probably, they don't live together. It is reasonable."
"I agree with you. My uncle lives in another city too."
Catherine and Madison went downstairs, walking on the lawn. It was already night. Few people were there, and no one paid attention to them.
"What's the matter?"
"Your face is okay?"
"Thank you. I am good."
Madison pursed her lips and said, "My father and brother were fired. Do you know it? Andy made the decision, and Sean agreed."
"You are wrong. Sean made the decision. Andy just executed the order."
"Why?"
"You know what happened to my face. You know why."
Madison was angry and said, "I don't know whether you know what happened to Pearl's family. The clothes for selling were all burned. The design drawings were missing, and they paid a large number of liquidated damages. They almost went bankrupt."
"It is none of my business. Although Sean fired your father and brother, it is not a big deal. You can still make money."
Madison thought it over and suddenly realized something.
Her face turned pale, and then Madison asked, "You mean…"
Catherine calmly asked, "What kind of deal do you make with Pearl? You told her everything."
"It is not me," doubted Madison.
"Do you want to know what Sean will do next if he knows?"
Madison was terrified and swallowed.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
