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
Catherine handed her cell phone to Ronin beside her. "Did you transfer this?" Her business had been handed over to Ronin. She would only focus on the numbers and didn't care how much it was. Ronin glanced at it and burst out laughing. "Boss, how could I possibly transfer such a small amount to you? It definitely wasn't my doing! Even beggars wouldn't transfer such a small amount of money." After saying that, Ronin quickly checked the information on the phone and tried to find out who had transferred the money. When he saw the name on the screen, he froze for a moment and laughed awkwardly. Then, he looked at Catherine and said, "Boss, please take what I just said as nonsense!" Catherine took a glance at it, and the moment she saw Audrey's name on the screen, she was already clear in her heart. She got up, took her phone back from Ronin's hand, and headed out. A few minutes later, Audrey, who was in between takes, received a call from Catherine. She was a little confused.
Liana was rather satisfied with Kayley's flattery. That was also why she picked Kayley as her deskmate back then. She stared at Kayley with a soft smile on her face. After seeing her approving look, Kayley was encouraged and tried even harder. Right after she praised Liana, Kayley started to assail Catherine, making the latter a foil for Liana. "The art section of our class can only count on Liana. Some people are merely filters. Hopefully, they won't embarrass Class 8!" Her tone was really sarcastic and dismissive. Worse still, her voice was not low. People around them all heard her clearly. Yet, they didn't dare to make a sound or take a stand, afraid of causing trouble. However, as Kayley's words reached Bryan's ears, of course, he couldn't hold back his temper, let alone Ronin. In Ronin's eyes, Catherine was like a goddess. How could he allow anyone to slander her at will? Bryan and Ronin stood up at the same time. Instantly, the atmosphere in Class 8 was filled
Catherine was not interested in the piano at all. Nor did she give a shit about Rachael's disapproving gaze. Those whom she didn't care about couldn't affect her mood even a tiny bit. Catherine walked past Rachael and happened to see Liana running in her direction. Upon seeing Catherine, Liana looked complacent and even showed a provocative smile to her. Then, Liana sprang toward Rachael and said in a sweet voice, "Mommy, you're the best. Just because you heard that I would attend the school party, you bought me such an expensive piano. Mommy, I love you so much!" When Catherine turned her head, Rachael happened to pat the back of Liana's hand gently and smiled at her with an amiable expression. "You're my daughter. Of course, I love you. Just do your best at the contest with assurance and leave the rest to me." In the face of this scene, Catherine's dreamy eyes slightly darkened a bit, and a hint of aloofness touched her lips. Liana was Rachael's daughter? What about
Audrey stared at him with an astonished look. She was really stunned for a moment. "This is so much! Johnathan, who do you think I am? How can I have that much money?" Johnathan didn't care about that and looked at Audrey dismissively, with his expression as arrogant as ever. "Audrey, just cut the crap and tell me whether you'll give it to me or not!" He treated Audrey so badly as if she were his maid rather than his sister. Audrey was infuriated by his attitude and directly answered, "I have no money!" Johnathan flared up and glared at Audrey, his eyes wide open. "Audrey, aren't you doing variety shows and commercials these days? How can you have no money? If you don't want to give it to me, just say it. Don't give me that excuse. And don't beg me to put in a good word for you with Mommy next time. What a bummer!" Enraged by Johnathan, Audrey gasped for breath. Johnathan was so over the line. Previously, she did ask Johnathan to say something nice about her to Rachael.
Upon hearing Audrey's words, Catherine slowly raised her head and looked at her. She glanced at Audrey's face indifferently. "You're not fat. You can eat some!" As a makeup blogger, Audrey paid a lot of attention to skincare. Perhaps, she wasn't born as pretty as Catherine, but her skin was already well-maintained. Catherine's praise couldn't comfort Audrey at all. "Kathy, you don't know about how the camera works. I'm as heavy as you are, but my face looks a lot bigger than yours. I can only make myself look better on camera by constantly losing weight. If I can have a face as small as yours, I won't have any worries then." Catherine had such a pretty face. No wonder Kim was desperate to sign her. She was really drop-dead gorgeous! Admittedly, her beauty was beyond compare. While eating quietly, Catherine kept scrutinizing Audrey. She used to think that Audrey spent the money she earned all on herself. Given that Audrey had bought so many clothes for her, Catherine
Catherine thought after moving into Audrey's apartment, she could live a quiet life. However, by night, deafening music suddenly came from upstairs. Even Audrey couldn't stand it, let alone Catherine. She got out of the room and happened to see Catherine who opened the door. Seeing Catherine's tired face, Audrey felt quite sorry for her. Catherine was such a poor girl. When she was in the Swanns', she had to suffer from the noises made by Liana. Now that she had moved in here, she had to go through the same suffering. This just kindled the wrath in her heart. Audrey patted her chest and said to Catherine, "Kathy, rest assured. I'll go upstairs and deal with the new neighbor right now. I promise I will offer you a quiet environment. You won't be disturbed for sure!" After saying that, she rushed upstairs in a fury. She heard that a guy had moved into this building lately. To her astonishment, the new neighbor turned out to be so annoying and was making so much noise la
Branden just got home and intended to have a video call meeting and deal with the business in Bothor. Due to the time difference of 12 hours, it happened to be in the morning in that place. As soon as the video call meeting started, the phone placed aside began to buzz. He picked it up and took a look only to find that it was Triston's message in the group chat. The group chat was created by Triston. The members were their good friends. Branden usually blocked the messages of the group chat. He wouldn't receive notifications unless he was mentioned. Today, Triston deliberately mentioned all the members in the group chat and also sent a photo out. Branden glanced at the group chat and suddenly settled his gaze on an unnoticeable place. Instantly, it just seized his attention. The senior managers in Bothor were all waiting for Branden to speak when they suddenly saw that he was staring at his phone. No one knew what was on the screen that could attract Branden's a
In the end, Branden couldn't stand it anymore. He took the initiative to snatch Catherine back, only then did the scene come under control.Now, no one dared to continue touching Catherine's belly.Once he snatched Catherine back, he held her tightly in his arms and prevented anyone from touching her. He thought in his mind, "Since these people like this brat so much, I'll just give the brat to them when Catherine gives birth. Saves one more person from sharing my wife with me."Triston smiled and watched the crowd as the birthday party began exactly as it should.The big screen began to show all the images of Audrey from her debut until now that were outstanding or worthy of recording. Some of the images weren't even in Audrey's possession, but Triston had found them and made a video of them.As the images flashed by, Audrey's tears couldn't help but fall from her face. She cried not only because she remembered the hardships she had endured in showbiz for many years, but also bec
Since Triston brought Audrey to meet his family, he had worked non-stop to put their marriage on the agenda.Audrey was a popular actress, and to not affect her career, Triston chose to propose in a low-key manner.Triston arranged a party on Audrey's birthday and invited many of Audrey's friends.Audrey originally thought Triston was too high-profile, but Triston insisted. "I didn't participate in so many of your past birthdays. I finally have a chance to participate this time."He persuaded Audrey repeatedly. Audrey couldn't resist him and could only agree to let him arrange the party.Luckily, he only invited Audrey's close friends and did not send out invitations widely, so she could take this opportunity to have a gathering of friends.Audrey was surprised to see Catherine when she arrived.Catherine was now eight months pregnant. Normally, she would be rejected by Branden if she wanted to visit Catherine.Branden was now very careful with Catherine every day, and Audrey w
Sure enough, only after Audrey said those words, Willa's face completely darkened.Seeing that Willa was about to explode, suddenly...Triston applauded happily, which instantly attracted the crowd's attention.Triston calmly met everyone's gaze and looked at Audrey gently. "Good. You're worthy of being the woman I love. I'm most annoyed with those women who stay at home day in and day out and like to gossip when they have nothing else to do. You have your own career and I'm very supportive of that."Triston said this with a proud look on his face and raised his eyebrows at Audrey, full of smugness.Willa's face instantly turned gloomy.Her son had demeaned her by calling her a gossipy woman just to please another woman, and it made her furious.Egbert kind of realized that his son was totally in love with Audrey. He thought it was good because Triston used to be a playboy and was always surrounded by messy women. At that time, he was really worried that Triston would marry an u
Although Audrey was born into a wealthy family, Triston's mother, Willa Lambert, had always been prejudiced against showbiz and therefore did not approve of Triston's pursuit of Audrey.In Willa's opinion, female celebrities in the showbiz industry had always appeared in public, which was not like the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.It was only after learning that Audrey and Triston might be together that she eagerly introduced Triston to girls in the first place. She didn't realize that after all this time, her son still hadn't given up on Audrey, and this was the first time she'd seen her son so attached to a girl.If it weren't for that, she wouldn't agree to appear at today's dinner party now.Triston led Audrey into the door, and everyone from the Lamberts had already arrived.The scene of everyone sitting in the private room made Audrey feel a bit guilty. She looked guiltily at the crowd and whispered, "I'm sorry. I'm late."Triston's father, Egbert Lambert, had a
Audrey never expected to be so suddenly arranged to meet Triston's family.She couldn't react when Triston talked to her about it. Looking at Triston with disbelief in her eyes, she said, "Pardon me?"Triston's handsome face carried a gentle smile. "I've inquired with Kim. You don't have any work arrangements since this afternoon, and you can also take a day off tomorrow. It's just right for us to have dinner together in the evening."Audrey frowned and asked inwardly, "Is that what I care about?"What she cared about was who Triston had just said she would have dinner with tonight. "Why are you suddenly asking your family to have dinner with me?"The Swanns and the Lamberts were both in Casier and they were also considered to be friends. For Triston's family, although Audrey was not familiar with them, she had seen them at major parties.But in the past, they used to meet as ordinary friends.Now that she and Triston were in a relationship, his sudden proposal to take her to di
Audrey hesitated for a moment but still answered the phone with a nervous heart.She believed that Catherine definitely had a way to get her to answer the phone, but things would be troublesome if she made Catherine take her actions.She put her phone to her ear and inquired in a low voice, "Morning, Kathy. What's the matter?"Catherine's voice remained as cold as ever, without any emotion. "Tell me, what is it that you haven't told me?"Audrey had already figured out a strategy to deal with it and how to excuse herself, but as soon as she answered the phone, Catherine asked her so directly, which made her suddenly unable to react.Audrey had no choice but to tell Catherine the truth.After listening to her trembling narration, Catherine only asked coldly, "Are you sure you want him to be your boyfriend?"Audrey was a bit hesitant. Everyone blessed her and Triston after they found out they were together again, but Catherine was the only one who asked her to calm down and think i
Faced with Triston's questioning, Ronin looked arrogant. "Catherine and Audrey are sisters, so Audrey is my sister. You can bully anyone, but you can't bully her. Or else, we can't even be friends."Ronin's words sounded childish, but there was seriousness inside his eyes when he said those words. He grew up with Catherine and regarded Catherine as his most important family member. To him, Catherine's sister was his sister.After listening to Ronin's words, Triston faintly laughed out. "I see."Ronin thought that Triston didn't take his words to heart, and immediately felt a burning anger. "What do you mean? You don't understand my warning, do you?""Easy!" Triston gestured for him to calm down, then said calmly, "Even death row inmates have a chance to explain, right? You should at least hear me out.""Hmph!" Ronin snorted disdainfully. He secretly thought in his heart, "If Triston says any more asshole words, I'll definitely not show him any respect."Triston put away that cyni
They had an appointment at a recreational manor, a new property Zobber had just bought. Zobber had invited them to come along for the experience.Since Catherine's pregnancy, the entire Hacker Alliance had had much leisure time. Even though there was less to do, they had earned no less money and were basically in a dominant position.Zobber enjoyed the current situation too much becasue there was still money to be made easily. They might only have one business per year, but the profit from this business was already enough for them to spend for a year.After wandering around with her friends, Zobber excitedly looked at everyone. "How about this place? It's not bad, right? I bought it at a high price!"This was Casier, and Triston was aware of any changes in the real estate industry.He had indeed received the news when Zobber auctioned off the manor, and he also knew that Zobber had given an above-market price to take the land. But he knew that Zobber had plenty of money. It was fi
Since that dinner, Audrey had been in a special kind of relationship with Triston.Although they didn't make it clear, Triston could feel that Audrey had slowly accepted him.The number of times they met increased, and most of Audrey's work this year was in Casier.Whenever Triston had free time, he would stay alongside Audrey.Whether on set or during recording sessions, one could always catch a glimpse of Triston.Everyone kind of knew deep down that Triston was the man behind Audrey.But nobody ever exposed this whole thing, mainly because of Triston's identity.Neither he nor Audrey wanted too much attention paid to their relationship right now. If he didn't spill the beans, who else would dare to report on it?Besides, the reason Audrey and Triston's dating didn't cause much jealousy was they were a good match.Among the Four Noble Families in Casier, the Lamberts and the Swanns each held a seat, and the Swanns' power was not weaker than the Lamberts.Plus, now that Cath
