Catherine glanced at the four. In fact, there was no need for Grayson to take action. Ronin alone should be enough.If Ronin couldn't defeat the four, then Catherine should seriously consider sending him back for further training.Ronin and Grayson were not actually fighting for their lives but rather competing against each other.Grayson showed no mercy when fighting. Ronin didn't want to be behind and increased his speed.They knocked out the four top-tier bodyguards within five minutes.Ronin arrogantly stomped his foot on a bodyguard, looking at Loraine provocatively."Are you so looking down on us as to actually send someone like this? Can't you find someone stronger so that I can move my muscles a bit?"Yesenia and the others were dumbfounded. They never would have thought that Ronin, who looked like a young boy with delicate features, would be such a good fighter.What surprised her the most was Grayson. She used to watch his movies and thought his martial arts moves wer
Catherine lowered her head to glance at her hand, which had not a single scratch but was slightly reddened.Upon gazing at the gloomy yet handsome face before her, she saw the man who seemed capable of destroying the world at any moment and chuckled silently.Feeling her laughing, Branden raised his head and gave her a displeasing stare as a warning."What do you mean by laughing when I ask why you are doing it yourself?"Catherine casually waved her wrist. Her expression seemed lazy and relaxed. "I have nothing else to do, so I'm just stretching my muscles a bit.""Stretching muscles?" said Aidan inwardly.Upon hearing these words, Aidan, who stood on one side, was shocked.Although his strength was average, he had received a lot of training since childhood and gained some insights into fighting.The duel between Catherine and the two experts just now was not just an exercise but a life-and-death fight, where Catherine ruthlessly dominated the two.He had never seen a girl wh
Yesenia was quite spoiled and could be very fierce when she threw a fit.Her anger took over, making her lose all reason as she shouted directly at Bryan."What, you got a problem with me not liking her?"Who does she think she is? Why are so many people flocking around her?"Yesenia vented her frustrations by speaking out all the hatred in her heart.She couldn't be stopped when she threw a tantrum like a princess.Relying on the Duncans' favor toward her, she had gotten used to acting arrogantly and not considering the consequences.When he looked at Yesenia's arrogant and domineering behavior, Bryan finally understood why Ronin wanted to slap her.If Yesenia were not his cousin, he would also want to slap her.He turned apologetically toward Catherine while anxiously worrying for Yesenia."Silly girl! She doesn't even know what's going on and is just talking nonsense," said he inwardly.However, Catherine remained calm and showed no signs of anger on her face.She kept g
Yesenia was not dumb. How could a girl born into the Duncans and raised by Karl be foolish? With Bryan taking care of her and playing with her, how could she be anything but astute?She was just too young, so there were things she didn't really understand yet.When she encountered more shrewd people, it was easy for her to get lost. Moreover, she was born into a wealthy family and had been showered with love and affection. Naturally, she became arrogant and overbearing.After receiving some advice from Triston, Yesenia began to awaken to realizations."Could it be that I have truly misunderstood Catherine?"Is it possible that Catherine is not as despicable as I imagine?"Uncle Branden is not an ordinary person. Any evil person would have to reveal their true colors before him and obediently await punishment."Since Catherine has gained the recognition of Uncle Branden and is respected by Bryan, she must have some exceptional qualities," said she inwardly.Yesenia glanced bac
Branden pulled Catherine's hand and placed it inside his pocket with the excuse that her hand was too cold.Triston and the others could not bear to witness the scene any longer. They came here for vacation, not to see someone show off love.Therefore, Triston spoke up fearlessly. "Mr. Duncan, since we have nothing better to do, how about a game?"They were playing billiards. Catherine and Branden were standing nearby. Their aura was so strong that the players could hardly concentrate on their game.Branden raised his eyebrows."Are you sure?"Triston grinned, knowing that he was literally courting humiliation."If Branden is joining the game, how could I have a chance to beat him? I'll just be completely dominated," thought he.Just as Triston was hesitating, Loraine appeared again. She walked up to him with a beaming smile on her face."Mr. Lambert, since you know you're no match for Mr. Duncan, why don't I play with you instead?"Triston's heart skipped a beat, and he thou
Unlike Loraine, Catherine did not go directly to the billiard table. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Branden standing beside her."Please, explain the rules to me."The people around were all shocked when they heard Catherine say this."Doesn't she know how to play it yet?"How dare she agree to participate in such a high-stakes event without understanding the rules?"Should I praise her bravery and courage or just call her a young and fearless newbie?" thought they.Loraine fixed her gaze in the direction of Catherine with a hint of coldness in the corner of her mouth."How dare she bet against me without any knowledge about billiard? She's biting off more than she can chew," said Loraine inwardly.Compared to the astonishment and ridicule of others, Branden's gaze at Catherine was much more meaningful.On that stunning face that looked like a sculpture, his eyes sparkled like gemstones as he smiled at Catherine. "This girl really has some guts!" he thought.He ex
Mixed emotions plagued Loraine. She had probably never been so embarrassed in her entire life.She glared at Catherine and forcefully slammed the pool cue she held onto the table.Loraine decided to endure it.She gritted her teeth and kept her temper."Miss Swann, congratulations!"Triston and the others were genuinely impressed by Loraine's composure. They thought she was indeed something.But Catherine was even more formidable. She surprised them every time.Catherine stared at Loraine with a faint smile.She enjoyed seeing Loraine being helpless while consumed with intense hatred."Miss Sanford, thank you for your generosity," Catherine said.After that, Catherine waved to Grayson, who stood behind her.Grayson instantly understood and smiled at Loraine. "Miss Sanford, thanks to you, I am now the largest shareholder of this resort."Originally, the three of them had been partners. Grayson owned a thirty percent stake. The majority shareholder was Grayson's wealthy frien
A few seconds later, Yesenia realized that everyone was giving her a strange look.She awkwardly smiled and said, "I'm just a gaming enthusiast."Afterward, she focused entirely on Catherine.Earlier, she had been dismissive of Catherine, but now, she had no reservations. She sat right next to Catherine.If Catherine's presence weren't so commanding, Yesenia might have even snuggled up to Catherine.Yesenia stared at Catherine with admiration and asked, "Oh, my God. How did you make that shot earlier? I didn't see you use a scope, so how did you hit your target?"Yesenia estimated that the distance was at least two to three hundred yards. But Catherine had managed to take down an opponent's level-two helmet with a single shot, all without using a scope.Such skill was terrifying.If Yesenia hadn't witnessed it firsthand by Catherine's side, she would have suspected that Catherine was using cheats or hacks.Upon hearing Yesenia's question, Ronin coldly snorted with disdain. He
