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
Catherine received a call from Kim during lunch break.Kim didn't explain what was going on over the phone. He just told Catherine to go to the hospital ASAP.Without hesitation, Catherine hung up the phone and rode her motorcycle to the hospital, where Kim had given her the location at the fastest speed possible.Kim was waiting outside the corridor for Catherine while Joseph stood beside him with a chilling vibe.Both of them heard the sound of footsteps approaching and turned their heads in unison.When Kim saw Catherine, hope sprang into his eyes. He hurriedly rushed toward Catherine.Just as he was about to reach Catherine, Joseph suddenly blocked his way.Joseph stood expressionless in front of Catherine, blocking her from Kim and preventing Kim from approaching her.Kim was about to throw a tantrum but held back because of Joseph's intimidating and icy aura. He quietly refrained from venting out his feelings.He could only stay in place and watch Catherine from afar, sa
Audrey also knew she couldn't have a scar, but that was not something she could control.With her mind devoid of ideas, she didn't know what to do and could only turn her gaze toward Catherine, hoping that Catherine would give her some advice.However, Catherine didn't say a single word but just took out her phone and dialed a number."I'm at Mercy Hospital now. Audrey got injured and had a minor surgery. I'm worried she might get a scar."After briefly explaining the situation, Catherine hung up the phone and casually leaned back on the side like nothing had happened.Audrey couldn't figure out what she meant and didn't know who Catherine was calling.She looked at Kim as if asking, "What's going on?"In return, Kim looked at her helplessly as he winked and gestured as if saying, "She's your sister. Now you're asking me? Audrey, you are a little ridiculous."In the end, the two could only glance at each other in silence and sneakily peek toward Catherine.When Catherine was n
After returning to the school, Ronin immediately came to Catherine."Boss, where did you go at noon? Why did you disappear as soon as I turned around?"Catherine had left hurriedly and didn't say goodbye to Ronin, so neither Ronin nor Bryan knew where she had gone."Audrey had an accident on set. I went to the hospital to see her."Ronin was shocked to hear that Audrey had an accident."What? Was she even taken to the hospital? Is she okay?"Catherine's expression was faint. What mood she was in couldn't be seen from her expression, and her voice was somewhat cold."She's fine! She broke her arm and had a minor surgery!"From her expression when she said that, people who didn't know her would think she had held a grudge against Audrey.Only Ronin knew that this had been Catherine's concern for Audrey.People like them were born with light emotions and lacked the rich emotions of ordinary people.But as long as it was someone they cared about, they would go to great lengths a
