Triston entered the door with his head and shoulders hanging down. He was covered in water stains, causing Aidan to be surprised for a moment."What the fuck. Mr. Lambert, did you stick your head into a ditch?"Triston glanced at Aidan coldly and said impatiently, "Fuck off. You're the one whose head was stuck in the toilet. Don't bother me. Can't you see a pimple had popped up on my face?"Aidan didn't want to lose to Triston and retorted casually, "You've got pimples, and you still want to have barbecued food? You should eat something light.""I like it. Who do you think you are to meddle in my business!"With one hand supporting her chin, Catherine propped her head on the table as she watched their verbal battle. It was as if she were watching an extremely entertaining comedy show.Aidan and Triston were used to having verbal battles since they were young, and after a while, they sat down to have dinner.Triston liked lively environments and was not used to eating without ban
Aidan rubbed his hands together in glee. His eyes were full of anticipation, but he asked for Catherine's opinion as a symbolic gesture. "Catherine, is doing a 'dare' okay?"Did he dare to mess with Branden's woman?Of course, he doesn't dare to do so. He could only play the game with caution.Both Ronin and Bryan disagreed. The two tried to stop the game but were stopped by Catherine.Since she dared to sit there, she naturally would dare to play the game.And she could see that everyone in the room was expecting it.She said graciously, "Go ahead!"Her attitude was the same as when Branden responded earlier, perhaps even more arrogantly. Aidan was so happy that he almost jumped up and applauded. "Okay, Catherine. Great!"Although Catherine was Branden's woman, since she was willing to play the game, Branden couldn't blame him.Aidan narrowed his eyes and showed an evil smile. He fixed his eyes on Catherine."Catherine, my request is simple. Kiss the person sitting to yo
Branden looked sideways and saw Catherine holding her face with one hand. She was leaning against the window with her eyes closed in a nap.He reached out to wrap his broad palm around Catherine's shoulders, exerting a slight force to make her lean into his arms.Catherine frowned slightly, thinking that Branden's movements of embracing her were becoming more natural and proficient.Just as she was about to struggle, she heard the man's warm and magnetic low voice from above her head. "Don't move. Taking a nap this way would be more comfortable."As Branden spoke, he pressed his cold fingertips repeatedly against Catherine's head, soothing her entire head. It was a pleasant feeling.Catherine, who had wanted to struggle free initially, closed her eyes in comfort as though a well-fed cat. The man's eyes lowered. He saw Catherine leaning against his abdomen with her eyes closed and her face full of cute looks.She now was completely different from her usual indifferent and aloo
The next day, Audrey was still in bed when Catherine was ready for school.Audrey struggled to get up and walk out of the room after she heard vague noises.Seeing Catherine with her bag, Audrey's eyes instantly widened as she glanced at the clock on the wall."Geez, it's so late. Kathy, sorry. I'm up late again."She looked at Catherine with a frustrated look and said, "I was going to make you breakfast, but I got up late again."Catherine knew Audrey got back from her event in the early morning, and it was almost impossible for Audrey to wake up at 7 o'clock to cook breakfast for her."I'll just eat in the restaurant!"Audrey reminded Catherine with a guilty expression, "Please do. Breakfast is the foundation of the day!"After all, Catherine could only eat out because Audrey couldn't get up early."Okay!"Catherine continued, "You can go back to sleep. I'm leaving!"Looking at the door open and close, a sweet smile appeared on Audrey's face. The two dimples on the corner
Recently, the last class of the day has changed to become a self-study class.As for the students who had signed up to be part of the performance, they went to the practice room to practice.Ever since the school announced the scale of the celebration gala, everyone had been eager to compete for fame.Because of the incident with Grayson, many girls changed their opinion of Catherine. There are a lot more classmates who dared to take the initiative to talk to Catherine."Catherine, doesn't your group need practice? It's not too late for now. If you go later, the practice room will be occupied!"Without even raising her head, Catherine answered lazily and nonchalantly, "I'm not interested!"The classmate who asked Catherine the question had gotten used to Catherine's attitude and stopped asking. Anyway, Catherine had been like this since she came to Class 8.At first, everyone felt offended by Catherine's attitude, but then they realized this was her nature and got used to it.L
After Catherine left the classroom, her phone rang once again.It was an unfamiliar number. But it had special symbols, which was rare.With one glance, she instantly recognized the caller.She casually pressed the answer button and held the phone to her ear.From the noise on the other end, it seemed that the caller was extremely cautious and even surprised that the call was answered."Wow. The call went through. Is it Sugar?"As Catherine spoke, her voice had changed. It was deep and husky, like a man's smoky voice.No one would believe that this voice belonged to such a charming young lady."Speak!"Catherine replied with a single word in a tone filled with a powerful presence.On the other end, the caller's voice sounded excited but he managed to restrain himself."Sugar, the black market is offering 100 million dollars for your expertise, and a few of the top hackers will work with you.""Who?" Catherine asked succinctly.The caller replied, "Sugar, it was an anonymou
As soon as Audrey saw Catherine, her tired face immediately lit up with a sweet smile."Kathy, you're here! I just finished my work," Audrey exclaimed excitedly.As everyone heard Audrey's excited voice, they all turned in the direction of her shouts.At the doorway not too far away, a slender black figure stood silhouetted against the backlight. The golden sunlight framed her from behind, making her appear radiant.She sported a black peaked cap, which barely revealed her petite face.If it weren't for the momentary glimpse of her beauty when she raised her head in response to Audrey's call, no one would have guessed she was so beautiful.Since Catherine had appeared on a show with Audrey, some people recognized Catherine and began discussing in a low voice."Oh, my God. She's Audrey's sister, Catherine. She looks even better in person. I thought it was just some video filter trick, but she's genuinely gorgeous!""Yeah. We all worked in the same industry and you know how it is
The barbecue was piping hot and had vibrant colors.Under the relentless heat, the mouthwatering aroma filled the air. The enticing scent tickled the senses and whetted appetites.Catherine had a refined taste for barbecue, and at that moment, she was indulging in it gracefully.Audrey grew up in the Swanns'. She had always known the rules at the dinner table. But today, she found herself struggling to control her cravings.It had been three months since she had enjoyed a proper meal. Now, in the face of the delicious barbecue, she couldn't resist.Kim noticed Audrey's voracious appetite and shook his head."Audrey, you're one of the hottest actresses out there. Can you please be a bit more conscious of your image?"Audrey waved her hand and replied, "Don't worry. I'm not famous enough for everyone to recognize me yet."Her words barely left her lips before she was proven wrong."Wow. Isn't this Audrey, the big star?"A mocking voice came from the front. It was filled with mi
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
