Catherine was assigned the task of cleaning the zebra stables, responsible for removing animal feces and garbage, and then laying fresh hay.Compared to the tasks of the other two groups, Catherine's group had a relatively lighter task, and they had more people in their group. Everyone believed that they would win. But to everyone's surprise, Catherine's group lost.When the three of them changed into their cleaning uniforms and arrived at the stables, the staff prepared the tools and handed them to the three of them one by one.When the cleaning tools were handed to Catherine, Grayson directly snatched them from her.Everyone looked at Grayson in astonishment because his actions were too abrupt.Unexpectedly, Grayson said with a serious expression, "How can Catherine do such things?"Those words sounded as if it was blasphemy against Catherine if she had done such work.Audrey felt particularly strange. She asked Grayson seriously, "Why?"Grayson glanced at Catherine. Thinking
The director team, which had been oppressed for so long, finally got the chance to punish Catherine and Audrey.One staff member suggested that since the three of them were so bad at cleaning, they should be assigned to clean the entire crew's area. However, the director rejected this proposal. In his view, the viewers already knew that the three of them were not good at these tasks. If they were still assigned to do them, it would be a very deliberate act.He didn't want the viewers to misunderstand their intentions and start boycotting the show. After all, the viewers were the ones who provided the financial support, and this show couldn't afford to offend them.The director smirked and said, "Don't worry. I have already come up with a punishment. Just leave it to me!"...When Audrey and the others received the punishment card from the production team, they were dumbfounded.Audrey looked at the staff in astonishment and asked, "Are you sure the director hasn't gone crazy?"T
The two-day program recording quickly passed by.Since each guest had their own chauffeur-driven car, the program team didn't arrange transportation for them to go back.However, this arrangement didn't apply to Audrey, who used to be a relatively unknown actress but had gained a bit of fame recently. The company hadn't gotten around to assigning a chauffeur-driven car for her yet."Kathy, wait a moment. Kim said he couldn't come to pick us up, so I'll call a taxi right away!" Audrey said.Just after she finished speaking, a black Mercedes chauffeur-driven car appeared in front of them.When Audrey wondered who could be coming to pick them up, the car door opened, revealing the handsome face of Grayson.With a friendly smile on his face, Grayson looked at Catherine affectionately and said, "Catherine, get in the car. I'll take you home!"Catherine glanced at Audrey.Audrey understood that Catherine was seeking her opinion. Despite Catherine's usual cold demeanor, she was actual
The Duncans and the Swanns formed an alliance through their marriage arranged by Vicente.Sitting in the front, Triston laughed happily, saying, "Ha, Mr. Duncan, you're doing a great job being so respectful to the elders. Well done, you can be considered a role model for us young people. I will learn from you!"Branden kicked the back of the front seat with a handsome gesture. Triston immediately apologized, "My bad. I'll shut up. I shouldn't have spoken."After they finished their quarrel, Catherine replied lazily, "No need." She added, "Besides, I haven't even met her either. It might be even more awkward if you come along."With a simple explanation, everything became clear.Branden instantly understood the situation. Catherine had been abandoned in the countryside since she was a child. She was only called back when she turned eighteen. She had little contact with the Swanns, let alone the Langs.Since Catherine considered the birthday person unimportant, Branden naturally ha
Halfway through, Audrey received a call from Rachael, asking where Audrey was and specifically emphasizing one question."Has Catherine come along?"After hanging up the phone, Audrey turned her head to look at Catherine, her eyes still filled with confusion."Kathy, why is Mom suddenly so concerned about us this time? She keeps asking if you're coming or not. It's really strange!"Then, Audrey answered herself, lost in her own thoughts, "Maybe it's because our relatives on Grandma's side haven't seen you for a long time, and they're eager to see you since you rarely come back. Well, old people always hope for family reunions, right?"Audrey muttered to herself, and Catherine remained silent.Audrey was used to Catherine's silence, so she didn't think much of it and continued to speak from time to time.Catherine lazily leaned against the car door, her eyes half-open. The slanting sun made her face appear fair and radiant, which looked incredibly beautiful.A hint of mockery wa
There was no way to deal with Catherine, so Johnathan had to seek help from his parents."Mom, Dad, look. She dared to hit me in front of you. She used to bully me every day! She's so arrogant! She's a monster. If you don't punish her, she'll make more trouble," he exclaimed.Rachael didn't lose her temper. They were in public, and she had to maintain her composure in front of Korbin, the head of the family. She turned her gaze towards Korbin, expecting him to handle the situation.Korbin looked at Catherine with a dark expression, his eyes sharp and fierce."Catherine, why are you so rude? What do you think you are doing?"Audrey was frightened. She grabbed Catherine's hand, trying to prevent her from acting impulsively.But Catherine wasn't being impulsive.Catherine didn't lose her temper or show much emotion from beginning to end. She calmly met Korbin's gaze, her indifferent attitude revealing an unknown hint of coldness."So, in your opinion, it's acceptable for Johnathan
Donna was 70 years old now, but she didn't look like a 70-year-old at all. There was no wrinkle on her fair and smooth skin. She looked like she was in her 50s, indicating that she must have spent quite some effort on skincare. Audrey was worried that Catherine might be too shy to deal with this kind of occasion. So, she took Catherine to Donna and said with a smile, "Grandpa, Grandma, you're right. This is Catherine, my sister!"Then, she tugged at Catherine's hand to signal the latter to say hi. Catherine said cooperatively, "Grandpa, Grandma!"Her voice was cold and aloof. Donna nodded with a smile on her face. "Good. Good thing that all your family are here!"Everyone looked at Donna's loving face and started to flatter her again. Only Catherine noticed that Donna's smile didn't touch her eyes at all. And Liana, who always watched over others' shoulders, would only lower her head and act like a good girl in front of the seniors. "Grandpa, Grandma, I've been busy wi
Johnathan didn't understand. The whole thing was so clear.Catherine also had admitted it. She should just be punished. He couldn't understand what on earth others were thinking.Seeing that Johnathan was about to sabotage their plan, Rachael tugged at his sleeve secretly.Johnathan had to restrain himself reluctantly, waiting for Donna to do him justice. Donna looked at Catherine with a grave face. "Since you admitted hitting Johnathan, you were wrong then. Johnathan is your brother. Isn't it inappropriate for you to treat him this way?"Then, her fierce eyes exuded an air of disgruntlement. "You're a poor child anyway. You were not properly raised in the countryside before. Vicente took you back out of kindness. I also heard that he had handed the Swanns' assets to you to make it up to you, right?"Catherine didn't make any response. Donna just continued talking. "Vicente loved you. I can get it, but this isn't good for you!"What she said was nothing but criticism of Cathe
