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
Branden made a move, but his actions shocked people even more."If you're tired and want to rest, I'll take you downstairs!"It was only one elevator ride away from upstairs to downstairs. But Branden said he would take her downstairs!Everyone could tell that Branden really cared about the beautiful woman in front of him.Watching Branden's astonishing behavior on the side, Triston clicked his tongue secretly. How did he not know Branden had such a good temper?Sure enough, it was a world where only good-looking people could be treated kindly, and he had no fairness.If one were nice to Catherine, she would also show them some respect.Audrey didn't want to leave, and Branden had just arrived, so it really wasn't the right time to go.She adjusted her posture and leaned back in her chair without leaving.Seeing that she hadn't left, Branden also put away the thought of leaving."Do you want something to drink?" The man's low voice sounded lazy and hoarse.Catherine had litt
No one expected someone to use a sniper rifle in this kind of venue as soon as the game started. The sniper directly exploded the level 1 helmet of No. 3 with a single shot, scaring her into a terrified scream.Branden raised his eyes toward Catherine with a questioning look in his eyes.When their gaze met, Catherine instantly read Branden's meaning. She pressed down on the small eye icon at the top of the screen and scanned to make sure of the enemy's location."Direction 170, southeast. You take a cover in the next room."Hearing Catherine report a direction, Branden glanced in the direction. He crouched down and did not hide inside the small room next door.He would not hide behind a woman and let her face the bullets. He would feel ashamed of himself if he did so.Catherine was observing the enemy's position when she heard No. 3 shouting in her earphones. "No.1, No. 2, can you guys make a move? I'm hit. Get me up. What are you waiting for? No. 4 has to shoot the enemy and sa
Because of Catherine's words, Branden, who had always been unsmiling and cold, raised the corner of his mouth slightly. In a deep, hoarse, and magnetic voice, he said, "Wasn't it obvious enough?"Catherine was silent for a while. There wasn't much emotion on her face, making it impossible for others to guess what she was thinking.After a while, Catherine slowly raised her head to look at Branden, an obscure enveloping between her eyebrows on her delicate face.Her beautiful eyes were slightly raised. She looked calm and relaxed, and her tone was light, as if she was not talking about herself."I'm a jinx. I'm destined to be lonely, and the people I am with will either be dead or injured!"It was the 21st century, but some people still cringed because of these ridiculous remarks.After hearing Catherine's words, Branden smiled faintly. His deep gaze fell carelessly on Catherine's face, gently sweeping over. He looked lazy, but his attitude was firm, and his tone was even more dom
The corner of Catherine's mouth curled up into a faint smile, making her look quite mysterious and unpredictable. She stared intently at the handsome man at her side.Her gentle voice sounded both deep and hoarse. "Guess!"The simple word made the gentleness in the bottom of the man's eyes grow deeper and thicker, just like the beautiful moonlight that could not be dissipated.Branden understood what she meant. Since she wanted him to investigate independently, he would do it himself.He didn't believe that with the ability of the Duncans, he couldn't even find out about this.The more challenging something was, the more interesting it was, wasn't it?It was getting late. Catherine had classes tomorrow, and Branden was in control of her situation."Let's go. I'll send you back to rest. You have classes tomorrow!"Was this man treating her as one of those little girls who had just become an adult and was busy with daily classes?Fine with her. As long as he was happy!Catherin
As soon as Catherine stepped into the classroom, Ronin immediately stood up and went up to say hello to her.Previously, it was George who used to be the first one to reach class. Today, George discovered that Ronin had arrived when he arrived at class.At first, he thought Ronin was a good student who loved to study and who wished he could go to class early to study every day, but later, he realized that he was wrong. He was completely wrong.It turned out that Ronin didn't go to class so early to study.After entering the class, Ronin took a small electric pot from his school bag. It was the kind of pot that could heat food.Afterward, his actions dumbfounded George.George didn't expect Ronin's cooking skills to be so good, and even more so, he didn't expect Ronin to go to class early in the morning to make breakfast.He initially thought Ronin was living an exquisite life and pursuing perfection, but then he found out that Ronin didn't eat the food he cooked.It wasn't unti
In the afternoon, because of the approaching celebration gala, the students used gym class as a practice class under the arrangement of the gym teacher.Bryan had someone take over the practice room early in the morning. He couldn't wait to take Catherine there, ready to let her feel his efforts these days.After choosing the best viewing position, Bryan carried a stool and placed it before Catherine."Boss, please!"David and the others followed, looking at Bryan expectantly."Bryan, go for it!"Ronin was the last one to enter the door. He just happened to hear the cheers of David and the others. He disdainfully snorted and said sarcastically, "Tsk, tsk... You've only practiced for a few days and are so arrogant. Do you really think you're a genius?"Bryan turned his head slowly sideways, his eyes staring at Ronin with disdain. The atmosphere in the practice room instantly became weird. Inexplicably, there was a kind of tension.After David and the others felt the pressure of
Catherine glanced at the crowd coldly before fixing her icy gaze on Bryan.The moment her gaze landed on him, Bryan reacted swiftly.Bryan stood up abruptly. His handsome face darkened as he looked unfriendly at Elena and the others. He didn't mince words as he said, "You think you can play a couple of tunes and dance a bit, and suddenly you're an expert? And now you want to give others advice? When did it become your turn to instruct me?"Elena blushed deeply at Bryan's blunt taunt. She hadn't expected Bryan to be so harsh.She stomped in frustration and tried to explain herself. She didn't want Bryan to misunderstand her."Bryan, I..."Before she could utter another word, Bryan raised a hand to silence her.The sound of her voice seemed to send shivers down Bryan's spine. Annoyance was written all over his face. Bryan said, "Enough. Just shut up!"After Elena was scolded twice in a row, although she usually had a strong composure, her eyes couldn't help but well up with tears
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
