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
Without waiting for Branden to respond to Catherine, Paxton, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly said, "Mr. Lambert's whereabouts have been strange lately. It seems he has lost his mind. We only heard something about him today."Upon hearing that, Catherine understood.Since it was Triston's problem, she didn't care.The place where Triston treated them for dinner was not far from Catherine and Branden. After a ten-minute drive, they had arrived.After the car stopped, Branden intended to help Catherine open the door and help her get out of the car.Unexpectedly, Catherine got out of the car before him. Looking at his hand frozen in mid-air, Branden silently curled his lips, revealing a faint smile.It was good that she wasn't pretentious. He liked it.Paxton inquired about the location and guided the two forward.Triston had rushed out to meet them after receiving the message that they had arrived.Aidan followed close behind. He was more excited than anyone to hear t
The people present were shocked to see the scene.After giving the boy a disdainful glance, Catherine looked up and swept a cold gaze at the few boys.That gaze was cold and terrifying. Whoever she looked at with that gaze would tremble.Those boys stepped back without hesitation. Catherine's kick was enough to make them understand the strength gap between themselves and her.The girl who fell to the floor finally reacted. She pounced forward and was ready to hold Catherine's thighs but froze at the moment Catherine's gaze fell on her.The girl tried to speak. She opened her mouth but hiccupped, looking stunned.Catherine casually pulled over a chair. After elegantly adjusting her long clothing by giving a slight shake to the ends, she sat down composedly and coolly. Her movements were unmistakably dominant. She looked intimidating.She raised her eyebrows at the girl and asked coldly, "Why was he bullying you?"When she said "he," her eyes flicked toward Johnathan.The girl i
Johnathan was a boy who his family pampered. When had he ever been humiliated like this?He gritted his teeth to endure the pain and threatened Catherine again."Catherine, stop it right now. Or else Mommy and Daddy won't let you go. When they arrive, you'll be in for it!"Catherine wondered if Johnathan was an idiot. Hadn't he already made that threat once a few minutes ago?Why did he do it again?Did he think she would be afraid of his threats?Seeing Catherine's sudden stop, Johnathan thought his threat had worked.After all, he was his parents' favorite, the only heir of the Swanns. He thought Catherine dared not hurt him.Just when Johnathan was about to be arrogant and proud, Catherine suddenly threw the bamboo whip aside and drew a thicker, longer one out.It was a bamboo whip twice as thick as the previous one, and Catherine waved it in front of Johnathan.Johnathan's body tightened in fear, and he couldn't help shivering. He tried to brace himself so he didn't screa
Branden was still in place without leaving, and Catherine walked over toward him.Seeing her walk over, the expression on Branden's handsome face remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.Paxton stood over him. There was a set of cleaning tools in his hands.Branden sidled up to a hot towel that had just been sterilized. He took Catherine's hand that was hanging at her side.Catherine didn't resist, allowing him to wipe her hands clean with the hot towel.Her gaze followed the man's movements, which were gentle but meticulous. He wiped every corner of her hands clean.Catherine's hands were fair-skinned and tender, and her palms were soft like that of babies.But at that moment, her smooth palm had a red mark.The original simple red mark was a little too red and purple against her fair-skinned palm, and Branden narrowed his eyes suddenly.Catherine sensed it. She didn't move, waiting to see what Branden would say.His eyebrows furrowed, and his tone showed a hint of he
It was clear that Catherine's question was directed at Branden. Branden knew it too, and so he turned to look at Catherine."Are you full?" Branden inquired in a deep voice. Catherine nodded silently. She decided that if Branden had any further business to be done over here, she would leave first.To her surprise, Branden stood up after she nodded.He even took the initiative to help Catherine with her coat. It made everyone present stunned as this was unusual for him. Usually, others would be helping him.Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Triston became anxious.He finally came to his senses and decided to indulge himself after resting for many days. Hence, he set up this gathering.They had only just started eating, and now Branden wanted to leave."Mr. Duncan, Catherine, why don't you stay a bit longer?"Upon hearing this, the two paused in their steps. Catherine looked at Branden, indicating that he could stay.Branden turned and glanced at Triston with hi
Korbin squinted his eyes upon hearing this. He looked at Rachael angrily with his dark eyes.He was a man and the head of the Swanns. His authority was not something that should be challenged.Under normal circumstances, Rachael might have felt fear and apprehension under Korbin's intimidating gaze.After all, the most impressive quality among women in the upper echelons of high society wasn't intelligence or their lineage, it was endurance. To become a successful lady of a prestigious family, one had to learn how to endure.However, Rachael could no longer hold back today.Johnathan was her bottom line and Rachael wouldn't allow anyone to harm Johnathan."What? Did I say something wrong? That jinx has come back to bring disaster upon us. She wants to drag all of us down with her," Rachael retorted without flinching even when faced with Korbin's threat. Korbin's face darkened, not only because of Rachael's unprecedented refusal to yield but also because he was dissatisfied wi
