Inside the hospital room, Catherine saw Leonel lying in a hospital bed. He was wrapped in a lot of bandages.He had just woken up from a coma and still looked a little weak.Hearing footsteps, he opened his eyes. After discovering that the person coming was Catherine, his expression was clearly a bit excited."Miss Swann, you need to be careful lately. After Korbin attacked me, his next target must be you!"Facing Leonel's reminder, Catherine looked at him with an expressionless face and issued a question strangely."Why are you so sure it was Korbin?"Leonel thought Catherine was too young to understand the sinister nature of human beings in the world.He reminded her again, "Miss Swann, people can do anything for money. Many people can even kill their siblings for money. Humans are the most sinister."And the reason I'm so sure is because I'm well aware that Vicente had an elite unit cultivated secretly during his lifetime. Later, this elite unit was pocketed by Korbin. The p
Paxton always felt that the atmosphere in the office was particularly depressing today, keeping him on his toes and making him very cautious when reporting things.He was afraid that any careless action would offend Branden and bring trouble to himself."Sir, after checking it out, it should be Korbin's secret guard team's doing!"Branden's icy cold eyes instantly darkened, and boundless gloom seeped from the bottom of his eyes. "Arrange someone to protect Catherine!"Paxton immediately replied without any hesitation, "Will do!"He was well aware of the position of Catherine in Branden's heart. Any injury to Catherine, or even the loss of a single hair, would cause a storm of bloodshed in Casier....At the most famous golf course on the outskirts of Casier, a caddie carried a huge work bag and walked straight toward Korbin, who was playing.He slowly stopped beside Korbin, bowed his head, and said in a lowered voice, "Mr. Swann, the man isn't dead, but his leg is broken!"No
Before the few men in black jackets could make a move on Catherine, a rush of footsteps sounded around them. The four men stopped and turned back to look.At the front end of the alley, Bryan arrogantly walked in with two men while David and his men surrounded the back end.Now, the four men finally understood why Catherine was able to be so calm.They had originally thought of encircling Catherine, but they didn't expect to be set up by Catherine.However, the four of them were not afraid. These people were students, and how could the well-trained fighters still be frightened of a group of students? It was impossible!David and the others finally realized why Catherine suddenly changed her mind. It turned out to be these few scumbags who came to make trouble.They thought, "You guys are really bold and actually dare to come to our place to cause trouble! Do you have a death wish?"Both sides of the people were ready to fight, but Bryan looked straight at Catherine, waiting for
In a concealed corner on the right side of the alley, Paxton, accompanied by a group of his men, hid themselves right after receiving intelligence that someone intended to harm Catherine. "Mr. Duncan, do you think Miss Swann has discovered us?" one of Paxton's men asked."Of course she has! It's so obvious!" Paxton replied, rolling his eyes at his subordinate.Why bother guessing when it was so obvious?As soon as they arrived, they noticed that Catherine was surrounded. However, Paxton didn't act right away. He observed Catherine's demeanor and realized things were not as simple as they seemed.Sure enough, those fools fell into Catherine's trap.Seeing that Catherine was confident and to avoid alerting her, Paxton refrained from taking action immediately.Paxton sought permission from Branden at once. Branden instructed him not to interfere with Catherine as long as she was not in danger.Paxton understood the situation. After all, he and his men were just pawns. They woul
After settling the bill, the waiter returned with a few VIP cards and distributed them to everyone present."Dear customers, check out our VIP card! You can have your own private room and avoid those long lines. These exclusive rooms are reserved just for our VIP guests. So, I hope you enjoyed your meal!"The waiter was highly respectful, and the service was thoughtful, giving people a feeling of being in a warm spring breeze.The people present were so excited that even David couldn't help but cheer out loud. "Oh my goodness, this service is truly impeccable! Following our boss has its perks. The treatment we receive is truly exceptional."Catherine remained composed and did not appear smug despite David's flattery.Given their prestigious backgrounds, it was improbable that just a membership card could easily sway people like David.There were two reasons for this.Firstly, the service of this restaurant was indeed quite good. Secondly, they were showing respect toward her.C
Having lost twice in a row, Baldy felt ashamed in front of Korbin."Mr. Swann, the mission has failed!"Compared to last time, Korbin was not as angry this time. His expression was calm, and his gaze was slightly lowered.It seemed like he already knew how it was going to end. Even his voice sounded relatively calm."Tell me, who did the Duncans send out this time?"Baldy's already low head almost drooped to the ground when he heard this.He never expected that a group of students would defeat his elite subordinates."Mr. Swann, it's not the work of the Duncans!"As he heard this response, Korbin's interest was piqued. "Not the members of the Duncans?""We checked and found out that those people were all students. There was one student named Bryan Duncan who had good fighting skills!"Korbin angrily picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it toward Baldy's head, cursing loudly, "Idiot, is that what I want to hear?""What does it have to do with me whether he has good
Branden brought Catherine back to the apartment. Catherine's pocket started vibrating as soon as they stepped out of the elevator.It was a ubiquitous vibrating sound, but if one listened carefully, one could notice that the vibration frequency was slightly different.Only people who received professional training could distinguish it.Catherine knew right away that it was Ronin looking for her, so something urgent must be going on.No sooner had Catherine opened her mouth than Branden proactively asked, "Did you have the key with you?"Catherine nodded.Branden raised his gaze and looked at her. His cold gaze softened considerably when it fell upon Catherine."Sleep early, as you have to wake up early for classes tomorrow."Both of them knew in their hearts that Branden would have probably led her to the apartment next door if it weren't for that vibration sound just now.He was pretty smart. He knew Catherine was up to something but remained calm and showed no sign of it.C
Catherine lay lazily on the bed, staring straight at the white ceiling above.Her bright eyes were distinctly black and white. Looking closely, one would notice a trace of coldness mixed within the bright black pupils. It was chilling to the bone."If Korbin didn't provoke me and let the matter pass, considering Grandpa and the blood relation between me and Korbin. I wouldn't let him suffer and allow him to live with dignity."But If he continues to cause trouble, don't blame me for being merciless."Don't mess with me!"No matter who he is!"Seriously, if they're going to annoy me, even if he's my father, I'll show no mercy."He had never taken care of me even for a day. Why should I care about family relationships?" thought Catherine.Ronin hung up the phone quietly as he noticed the prolonged silence from Catherine's end, wanting her to have a good rest.He had been following Catherine since he was a child and had grown up alongside Catherine.It was Catherine who rescued
