In Korbin's eyes, the most hateful trait of Catherine was her arrogance, coldness, and haughtiness. He hated her for that.As the legitimate son of the Swanns, he spent the first half of his life working tirelessly for the Swanns.He was forever subordinate to Vicente, whose word was law at the Swann Corporation.However, he was not angry or worried.In his understanding, he perceived himself as the future heir of the Swanns and firmly believed that the Swanns would ultimately be his possession.Finally, he witnessed the passing of Vicente.The passing of his biological father at his age brought about sadness, but there was not as much deep attachment.Furthermore, he contemplated the future.With a blueprint for the future of the Swann Corporation entirely under his control, he would undoubtedly lead the Swann Corporation toward a better future.Korbin had planned it all out but didn't expect Vicente to play tricks on him before passing away.It was like Vicente invited the
Catherine's conditions were not challenging. She sat with her hands folded on the table, emanating a cold aura.Her cold and distant gaze lingered on Korbin casually, but it brought Korbin an inexhaustible sense of oppression, making him instinctively feel a kind of fear toward Catherine."First of all, someone needs to be held accountable for this. But it's definitely not me who should take responsibility. It should be those guys from the Student Union. I can just let go of it. The rest is left to them."Korbin hesitated momentarily, fully aware that this might be the Wales' bottom line.The bottom line for the Wales was to protect Nash and ensure that he was not heavily influenced.As for how to operate and at what cost, it was something only the Wales themselves could determine.After careful consideration, Korbin nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, I agree to this condition. So, what is the second condition?"Korbin agreed readily. Catherine also did not beat around the bus
Catherine entered the room, claiming she needed to do her homework. However, this was merely an excuse to deceive Audrey.In fact, she had to deal with the affairs of the base.Their organization, Hacker Alliance, was currently under attack from cyber assailants.Furthermore, it was not just a single elite hacker attacking them but a team of hackers.In the afternoon, Catherine had already made arrangements, and the group of hackers would have no way out tonight.Ronin initiated a video call to have a real-time conversation with Catherine."Boss, here comes that gang of riffraff!"Catherine turned her gaze toward the computer screen, only to find a swarm of red attack points relentlessly targeting the firewall set up in the base.The first wave of attack, seemingly not so fierce, was more like a probing.Those people slowly approach Catherine's bottom line step by step, touching and exploring it continuously.Ronin tapped on the keyboard excitedly, engaging in a fierce confro
In the study of the Duncans'.Paxton rushed in with his laptop and placed it in front of Branden."Mr. Duncan. We can no longer hold on!"Upon hearing Paxton's words, Branden was somewhat surprised.It was unexpected that his hacker team could also experience defeat.This team was built by him personally and had been through a lot of training. It had never been defeated before.He handed over this team to Paxton, who was also a computer expert and had never made a mistake.Despite knowing that it was difficult to breach the firewall of Hacker Alliance, he did not expect to be traced by the other party so quickly.His pitch-dark eyes glittered as he fixed his gaze intently on the computer screen and observed every single fluctuation in the data displayed on it.There wasn't any expression or posture from head to toe, but he emanated a fierce aura that discouraged anyone from meeting his gaze."What's going on?"A cold voice immediately snapped Paxton, who was deeply immersed
On the following day.When Catherine appeared at school, the whole grade was shocked."Didn't she offend the Student Union? Why can she still study here?""Who knows, perhaps she has come to pack up her things!"Yesterday, Catherine confronted the Student Union with a group of people and reported the entire Student Union."Oh my!" All the students who were aware of this news were utterly shocked."This is the Student Union!" thought they.The chairs of the several departments inside not only held the title of "chair," but each of them had considerable influence and authority.This was a prestigious school where every student admitted came from a wealthy background.Those who could join the Student Union and become department chairs were all from powerful financial conglomerate families.It was truly astonishing that Catherine attempted to challenge the entire Student Union dominated by a powerful financial conglomerate all on her own and still managed to show up at school saf
Catherine was always a person of her word. With her assurance, George felt his confidence doubled instantly."It's about the Student Union. The chairman of the Student Union, Nash Wale, voluntarily resigned from his position today, and Elena Leigh was dismissed from the Student Union."After speaking, George looked carefully at everyone and asked, "This is considered a big matter, isn't it?"The crowd nodded subconsciously. This news was indeed shocking to everyone.Many people eagerly anticipated Catherine being boycotted by the Student Union and humiliated by the capitalists.As a result, the big shots of the Student Union ended up in trouble rather than Catherine.How could one not be shocked by this?All eyes were fixed on Catherine, gazing at her as if she were a monster."Who is this Catherine? How can she be so formidable?"Nash is already considered a big shot. By comparison, Catherine must be the biggest big shot of them all," said the students inwardly.Upon hearing
Elena didn't expect Liana to dare to go back and hit her. "Liana, you've finally shown your true face. You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"After saying that, Elena pounced on Liana and was ready to teach her a lesson.Seeing Elena pounce on her, Liana still felt that Elena overreached herself.She thought in her heart, "With such weak power, how dare you have the intention to hit me?"Do you think I'm a weak young lady from a rich family?" The biggest concern of wealthy families was being targeted by unscrupulous individuals due to their superior wealth, leading to various tragedies.After all, there were too many such cases in real life, so Liana's grandfather arranged for famous teachers to come to her home for one-on-one tutoring for self-defense and fighting when she was young.Although she wasn't much of a fighter, she was still more than capable of dealing with a defenseless girl like Elena.Just as Liana was about to counterattack, she suddenly saw several people rushing u
Tomorrow would be the weekend, and Catherine had to accompany Audrey to continue filming the show.With two more episodes to go, Audrey had accumulated a lot of popularity because of the show. Her endorsements and filming had increased, and now she looked happy in front of Catherine every day.The bell rang for the end of school, and Catherine slowly woke up on time.When she opened her eyes, there was still redness in her cold eyes.On her extremely beautiful face, two dark brows furrowed tightly together. With a gloomy aura between her brows, she looked terrifying.During Catherine's one or two minutes of waking up, no one dared to go forward to disturb her.Even Ronin had to wait for her mood to improve before he dared to make a sound in front of her."Boss, have some coffee!"Catherine didn't even look up but habitually stretched her hand.Ronin moved naturally and served the coffee into her hand. Looking at her brows gradually relaxing because of the hot coffee in her thr
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
