Catherine sat in the car with Branden, and Triston, who had originally planned to follow them, silently watched as the car departed.He looked at Audrey and said, "Hey, Audrey, give me a ride, will you?"Audrey avoided eye contact, kept her head down, and didn't even look at Triston. Her voice was firm as she said, "I'm not going your way!"After saying that, she quickly left, pulling Kim along.Watching Audrey's fleeing figure, Triston stood alone in the wind, feeling confused. Was it because he was not attractive enough or something? Why did girls ignore him like this?After pondering for a while, Triston turned to Zachary, who was waiting nearby."You're not going my way either?"Zachary was just worried that he wouldn't have a chance to explain this matter to Triston, but now that Triston was giving him the opportunity, he was grateful."How could that be, Mr. Lambert? I'm always going your way! Just wait a moment. I'll be right back!"In every social circle, there were hi
In Class 8, there was a commotion going on. However, this only happened when Catherine wasn't taking a break. Whenever she rested her head on the desk, Class 8 would become quiet, and no one dared to speak.Catherine never specified this rule, but everyone just accepted it.Now, Catherine was playing games, and the atmosphere in the classroom became lively.David and the others gathered around Bryan, making a lot of noise."Hey, Bryan, I've been hearing you hum this tune for the past few days, and it sounds really good. How about singing it for us?"With the competition approaching, Bryan didn't dare to waste time. He was the weakest among the three of them, so how could he afford to be lazy? If it weren't for his talent, he probably wouldn't even qualify to be in the group.Catherine was talented, and Ronin was also impressive. They didn't need too much training.As for Bryan, he had always been a top-notch talent, and he had never experienced this kind of torment before. In or
As the crowd gathered, Liana had an idea and walked up to the stage, tightly holding Jessica's hand.To outsiders, it seemed like Liana was helping to mediate, which was rare for her to do at a time like this.Liana kept persuading Jessica while pulling her hand. "Jessica, let it go." After saying that, she turned her head and looked politely at Catherine."Catherine, Jessica brought her dance costume today. You don't need to rehearse the whole afternoon, right? I remember that there are usually five or six groups rehearsing in the afternoon. Can you spare some time for Jessica? It doesn't matter if I practice or not!"Liana was quite clever. She indirectly criticized Catherine, accusing her of taking the opportunity of five or six people. At the same time, she praised herself and pretended to be good to Jessica. Her tactics were really impressive!The more Jessica listened to Liana's words, the angrier she became. She looked at Catherine with disgust."Liana, why are you always
Catherine was taken aback when she received a call from Triston. Usually, it was Branden who accompanied her, and Triston rarely called her alone.Triston's voice sounded a bit strange. "Catherine, school's over, right?"Catherine didn't have time for his nonsense and interrupted him directly, "Get to the point!"Triston didn't dare to act rashly, and he immediately became obedient. "Catherine, it's not me who wanted to call you. Aidan forced me to call you. He wants to invite you to dinner tonight but is too afraid to call himself, so he asked me to do it."Aidan, who was standing nearby, almost rushed up to strangle Triston. When Triston had just received a car from him, Triston said everything was on him. But now, Triston sold him out. "You're driving me crazy, you idiot!" Aidan cursed inwardly.Catherine paused for a moment and made a decision the next second. "Alright."Triston thanked her profusely and hung up the phone, then turned to face Aidan's eyes full of hatred. Tr
Aidan had been receiving hints from Terrance, and if he hadn't known that Terrance was different from Aaron and Jameson, he wouldn't have been willing to help the Blatons.How could he risk offending Branden? Just the thought of it made Aidan irritated. After hesitating for a moment, he seized the opportunity to make an introduction."Catherine, this is my cousin's husband, Terrance Blaton!"Finally, it was his turn to be introduced, and Terrance eagerly picked up his glass.Catherine, who had been sitting quietly, reached out and picked up a lobster when she heard the sound. Then, she threw it directly in front of Branden.Initially, everyone thought it was a normal gesture for Catherine to serve Branden, as many people wanted to show him their respect but never had the chance.However, her action seemed a bit rude, as the lobster was thrown in front of Branden without even being opened.Branden's eyes scanned the lobster before him, and he elegantly wiped his hands before di
Branden led Catherine out of the restaurant, ready to get into the car.Aidan and Triston chased after them. Hearing the noise, Branden and Catherine both turned around.Aidan and Triston froze in their tracks, standing there awkwardly, wearing embarrassed smiles.Catherine glanced at them without saying a word. After all, Branden was still standing beside her. It would be better to let him handle it.Aidan discreetly pulled Triston's sleeve, signaling him to speak up.Triston's face darkened, and he shouted. "Damn, I came out with you to find out the gossip about your brother-in-law's family. Now, you should go up and ask her yourself." His words were full of righteousness, as if he had already mastered the truth in his hands.Aidan's eyes almost popped out when he heard this. He never expected to be fooled by Triston again. After not seeing each other for a few years, Triston had become increasingly scheming. However, Aidan couldn't even express his depression for now. He cou
Hearing his wife's frightened look, Jameson hurriedly comforted her.Sylvia was more than ten years younger than Jameson. She looked perfect for her age. She was almost forty but seemed only thirty.She was adept at manipulation and coquetry, so Jameson adored her deeply. Jameson patted Sylvia's back and glared at Terrance. "How could you say that to Sylvia? Apologize!"Terrance was so disappointed with his father.He went about the trouble Aaron caused and begged for forgiveness. Yet, his father took Sylvia's side and rebuked him.Terrance could not stand it anymore.He finally understood that Aidan was right about his family.The Blatons were so hopeless. It was time for Terrance to draw a line with them and save himself.He looked up at his father, his eyes firm. "Dad, the only thing we can do is to cast Aaron and this bitch out of our family. In that case, our family might still have hope."His words irritated Sylvia, but she was scheming and clever enough not to curse T
On Grayson's face, the thin bangs hid his bright eyes, staring fixedly at where Catherine stood.Catherine did not speak a word among the crowd but was still in the spotlight. Grayson's usual calmness had a crack on it.Catherine walked away from the crowd that surrounded her.She took several steps ahead and realized someone was following her.Catherine stopped, whirled around, and narrowed her eyes. She looked indolently and casually at Grayson. "What do you want?"Grayson did not expect her to stop, and he would subconsciously follow her out.Catherine was like sunshine. People would want to follow her steps without even realizing it."Catherine, you have an excellent voice and a good sense of pitch. I heard that you wrote the song yourself. Is that true?"When Grayson heard Catherine sing, he found her voice mind-blowing.After hearing from people around that Catherine wrote the song on her own, Grayson was even more amazed by her musical talent.Catherine was now sizing
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
