After Catherine got into Branden's car, he started to inquire calmly."I heard your brother had an accident. Do you need any help?""No need."Catherine's attitude was cold, and she didn't even bat an eyelid.She thought Johnathan didn't need her care.Johnathan was the only son of the Swanns. There were plenty of doctors waiting to attend to him.Since Branden brought it up, Catherine decided to ask for a favor along the way."Do me a favor."Branden gently turned his head to look at her with indulgence."Go on."When others asked him for help, it depended on his mood. But when Catherine asked, it was a matter of one word.Catherine straightforwardly stated her request. She said, "Investigate the car accident."Branden raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a meaningful look. "Johnathan?"Catherine nodded. She wanted to investigate Johnathan's car accident.She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The timing of Johnathan's car accident was just too coinci
The recital ended up having a massive crowd with the addition of Catherine. Not only did Bryan go, but even Ronin followed. The appearance of several attractive people drew the attention of many of the fans in attendance.A big fan recognized Yesenia, as she had thrown a lot of money into supporting her favorite idol."Ms. Yesenia, you're here! Are these guys all your friends?"The fact that the fan did not recognize Catherine somewhat annoyed Yesenia, and she made an introduction to the fan at the first opportunity."Don't you know Super Catherine? She's Peerless Grayson's regular composer. Those famous songs of Peerless Grayson are all written by Super Catherine. Don't you even know that?"There had been rumors on the internet before that Catherine, the sister of actress Audrey, knew Grayson because she was Grayson's arranger.But it was all rumors, and no one had any solid information, so people weren't sure. After all, many people liked to boast and would end up getting expos
Ronin angrily pointed at the girl in pink and said fiercely, "Shut the fuck up. If you dare to talk nonsense again, you should be aware of what I'm going to do to you!"That girl didn't even know who Ronin was. She was spoiled by her family and didn't take him seriously at all.Hearing Ronin's words, she instantly became furious. "Huh, what do you want to do? Did I hit your sore spot? You dare to say so, but why can't you accept the words of others?"As soon as she finished speaking, the girls around her all spoke in her favor."Yeah. Why should we be told to shut up? Did we say anything wrong? You guys can brag and not allow us to tell the truth?"The girl in pink stopped her friend and looked at Ronin and the others with a face full of mockery.Then, she said sarcastically, "Don't be like this. What if she's really Peerless Grayson's composer? If we offend her, we might get into trouble, so it's better to be careful. Lying and bragging isn't a crime, and if we piss them off, we
When Grayson saw Catherine, he felt a bit nervous, and his hands holding the microphone were sweaty."Boss, why are you here?" Catherine didn't speak, and her eyes looked cold. She glanced in the direction behind Grayson.Grayson immediately understood Catherine's meaning. "Boss, leave it to me!"After saying that, Grayson turned to face his fans with a very serious expression.Grayson, who was known for his gentleness, suddenly appeared so serious, which scared his fans.These fans instinctively took a step back. Especially the fan leader, who was panicking, began to feel her feet trembling.Grayson said in an unusually serious tone, his gaze cold and his voice deep and terrifying, "Who said that Catherine is a fake? Step forward!"This time, Grayson didn't need to explain anything. Judging from his attitude, it was clear that Catherine's identity was real.The fans all turned pale, not even daring to speak.However, Grayson had no intention of stopping. He continued in a g
At the Duncan Corporation. Triston, holding his phone, rushed into the office in a panic. He was moving so fast that Paxton couldn't even react. Before reaching Branden, Triston shouted, "Mr. Duncan, we have a big problem!"Branden calmly looked up, his cold eyes fixed on Triston, instantly freezing him in place. Triston had originally intended to charge forward, but this single glance from Branden made him stop 10 feet away. He was too afraid to approach any closer.Branden's lips slightly parted. He said in a low and cold voice, "You better be sure that what you're about to say is important, or I'll have Paxton throw you out of here!" This building had a total of 88 floors, and Branden's office was on the top floor. It seemed that Branden was planning to throw Triston off without giving him a chance to explain.Triston was so shocked that his whole body trembled, his legs involuntarily shaking. He suddenly regretted his impulsiveness. He realized that he shouldn't have rus
Grayson, standing on the stage, saw Catherine's sleeping face and smiled helplessly.Because it was just a small concert that was purely held as a way to express his gratitude toward his loyal fans on his birthday, it wasn't made particularly grand.The originally planned three songs, plus an encore requested by fans, were performed. The concert came to an end.As soon as the concert ended, Ronin reached out and tapped Catherine, waking her up.Catherine opened her eyes in a dazed state and looked at Ronin with a somewhat hazy gaze, asking, "Is it over?""Yeah, Boss, it's over. I received a message from Grayson. He invites us to meet at the secure passage," Ronin said while handing her a cup of moderately warm coffee.Watching this, Yesenia was full of envy. Grayson's singing just now was so amazing, and she, just like other fans at the venue, screamed wildly. Now, her throat felt as dry as if it were on fire.All her water had gone, and she couldn't even take another sip. There
Loraine eventually chose to stay right in front of Catherine, standing about 20 inches away from her, with a gentle smile on her face.For some reason, everyone felt that Loraine's smile looked somewhat creepy and eerie."Miss Swann, what a coincidence to run into you here!" Loraine said, her tone filled with a strange mix of friendliness and malice.Catherine glanced at her indifferently and remained silent.Faced with Catherine's cold attitude, Loraine felt a bit angry, but she didn't show it. Instead, she continued to smile brightly."Well, Miss Swann, are you still mad about what happened before? I thought you had forgotten about it after the resort incident. Are you still holding a grudge?" Loraine said in a sarcastic tone.Listening to Loraine's snide remarks, Ronin was getting infuriated. Why was this woman seeking attention for no reason? She was clearly insinuating that Catherine was petty and scheming!Ronin was so angry that he wanted to tear Loraine's face apart and
In response to Loraine's inquiry, Catherine chuckled. "No worries. Next time you encounter me, you can apologize to me again!"Hearing this, Yesenia, standing behind Catherine, burst into laughter.Catherine's words were truly ruthless! She knew well how to infuriate people without using any foul language.The mockery and laughter from the crowd left Loraine feeling utterly humiliated. She never expected that Catherine, a country girl, would have some tricks up her sleeve and such a sharp tongue, making her so embarrassed.Loraine's face had become extremely dark, and if she hadn't forced herself to remain composed, she would have probably collapsed long ago.She gritted her teeth. "Well, I'm looking forward to our next meeting!"Next time, she would make Catherine kneel and apologize to her.Catherine smiled faintly. "Sure!""Hmph!" Loraine snorted coldly and left in a huff.She stomped her high heels so hard on the floor that it seemed like she was creating craters. It was e
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
