Catherine's face turned chillingly cold when she heard Rachael's hysterical outburst. In an instant, the living room seemed enveloped in a transparent barrier. It was suffocating. Liana and Johnathan had been watching the drama unfold. At that moment, they felt an unsettling panic in the atmosphere. Rachael was stunned, her words dying on her lips because Catherine's gaze was too unnerving. Seeing the situation deadlock, Korbin, who had been sitting silently on the side all the time, suddenly spoke up. He said with a serious and deep tone, "Rachael, that's enough." Korbin was the current head of the Swanns. And Rachael dared not argue with her husband. Moreover, she realized she had gone too far in her anger. For Rachael, although it was true that Catherine was a jinx, these words were not suitable to say publicly. After all, she was Catherine's mother. However, although Rachael recognized her slip of the tongue, she attributed all of it to Catherine's lack of manners
As Catherine entered the school, she was met with numerous curious gazes. That reality show was top-rated now. So a lot of people knew that Catherine had participated in the show. Their impression of her had changed quite a bit. It turned out that Catherine was like this in private and was really good at playing games. With her confident demeanor and charming big-sister vibe, Catherine was a hit among the girls. Initially, everyone thought Catherine had a problematic personality. In their view, she was cold and even a bit pretentious. But after seeing Catherine on the show, they realized she was not what they thought. She was just genuinely not interested in socializing. And it was not an act. As for the attention from those around her, Catherine didn't pay it any mind. After entering the classroom, Catherine kept a composed face. She took confident strides and looked straight ahead as she walked to her seat. But as soon as she sat down, Bryan rushed over. His face was full
Catherine looked up, immediately recognizing Ronin standing on the podium. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, making everyone think that she would teach Ronin a lesson. However, she was just secretly complaining that Ronin's costume was so ugly. She wondered what Ronin was thinking. Why would he dress up like that at school? Did he think he was cosplaying or something? Ronin looked at Catherine as she looked over, and his eyebrows furrowed. He felt uneasy, unsure if Catherine was angry because he acted without permission. Catherine's rosy lips slightly parted as she spoke in a cold voice. "Sit down!" She pointed to the seat next to her in the adjacent aisle. Ronin glanced at it. Although it wasn't Catherine's desk, the distance wasn't that far, so it could be considered sitting next to her. Out of respect for Catherine, he decided not to argue with Bryan. Ronin happily said, "Okay!" Then, he slung his backpack and happily skipped over to the seat. The crisis was averte
Under Catherine's intimidating presence, everyone attended another peaceful class. After the class ended, Catherine woke up. The previous days of recording variety shows had disrupted her sleep schedule, and she couldn't stick to her habits. As she woke up, Ronin immediately took a box of pastries and a thermos from his backpack and handed them to her. His actions were skilled and natural, indicating that it was a habit he had developed over a long time. "Boss, have some." Catherine had a tendency for low blood sugar since she was young. Perhaps because she was too smart and talented, she was given some flaws to make her appear more perfect. Moreover, Catherine preferred salty and spicy food and didn't like sweets. She often felt dizzy due to low blood sugar. Ronin had been by her side for many years and was accustomed to caring for her. With the familiar voice and aroma, Catherine naturally reached out and took a pastry, stuffing it into her mouth. Seeing her eat it,
At the end of the school day, Catherine woke up and grabbed her backpack to leave. Bryan quickly caught up, not noticing a figure rushing towards them even faster. The figure bumped into him and squeezed next to Catherine. Bryan was furious, thinking, "This little brat has got some nerve!" Ronin felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Catherine would always be his, and no one could take her away. "Boss, let's have a barbecue together tonight. I'll cook for you. I've developed a new barbecue sauce that tastes amazing," Ronin said. Besides studying computers, Ronin loved cooking. Making Catherine happy with his cooking was the most important thing to him. He couldn't compete with Catherine on computers. After all, Catherine was his teacher. But having culinary skills that impressed her was also a kind of ability. It had been a while since Catherine had tasted the food Ronin cooked, and she missed it a bit. The rose liqueur today awakened her taste buds. The food she had be
Catherine didn't even look at George. Instead, she coldly uttered two words. "No way." Ronin stifled his laugh, almost falling over from amusement. It seemed like George had no idea what type of a person Catherine was. She never cared about these things. How could she agree to help? It was ridiculous! George, being rejected, didn't feel embarrassed at all. He knew he would be turned down. The next second, what George did surprised everybody else. He started crying! He wailed loudly, and both Ronin and Bryan found it somewhat awkward. They had already criticized each other's acting skills, but now they encountered someone even more shameless than them. George sobbed and looked at Catherine, snot and tears streaming down his face. "Catherine, please help me. I finally became the head of the class and wanted to do something for our classmates. Now, I can't even guarantee several talent shows. It's not just about me. It will embarrass the whole Class 8. Can you imagine ho
"Oh my goodness! How was this barbecue sauce made? It's so delicious! It's amazing..." Triston exclaimed in astonishment as he quickly stuffed food into his mouth. Just like Catherine, he loved barbecue. He had tried all the barbecues in his home country, and in the end, he even opened his own barbecue restaurant with a master chef. It was evident that he truly loved it. Triston had come here to join in the fun, but he didn't expect this barbecue to be so impressive and delicious. It was truly extraordinary. Ronin rolled his eyes at Triston and couldn't help but comment, "Why do you have to talk while eating? If you keep blabbering, I'll kick you out!" Triston was scared by Ronin's fierce tone of voice. He quickly grabbed some meat and stuffed them into his mouth to prevent himself from being kicked out later. Ronin sat in his seat, looking unhappy. He had spent a long time researching the sauce and had tried it many times. It was specifically designed to serve Catherine. Bu
With the end of the barbecue, the conflict was sort of put to rest. What followed was the big question of who would send Catherine back. The men were at odds with each other. Bryan didn't dare to fight with Branden, but he was bold enough to fight with Ronin! Ronin was young and had no fear of them. Although he was intimidated by Branden's aura deep inside, he didn't hesitate to choose Catherine when he was in front of her. Catherine had no idea how she had, all of a sudden, become the lead in their fight. Did she need them to tell her how to go back? While the few men were at a standstill, Catherine was already heading towards Ronin's underground garage. Several motorcycles were parked inside the garage, all of which were Ronin's, and the keys were all inside the slot. Without hesitation, Catherine picked one of them and straddled it handsomely. Then, she turned back and waved her hand at them. "Gotta go!" The few of them returned to their senses. Seeing Catherine tr
