When the driver made a move, Catherine swiftly reached out and plunged the needle that the driver intended to insert into her body into his own. The driver tried to struggle, but his hand was firmly held by Catherine, unable to move an inch. With a terrified look in his eyes, he stared at Catherine in disbelief. He couldn't imagine that he would be defeated by a gentle and beautiful little girl. The drug began to take effect. The driver began to lose consciousness, his vision fading to black. Catherine pushed him forcefully, causing his body to fall to the ground. Her expression remained cold and emotionless. After the driver fell, two figures emerged from somewhere. Two men dressed in black stood behind Catherine, bowing their heads respectfully. One of the men in black knelt in front of Catherine, offering a towel. "Boss, you can wipe your hands with this!" Catherine took the towel and carefully wiped her hands. Then, she casually threw it onto the driver lying on t
Liana looked in shock towards the direction of the door, unable to believe what she was seeing. "How is this possible?" she shrieked in her heart. "Why does Catherine appear here unharmed?" Before Liana could fully comprehend the situation, their eyes met. Liana felt a suffocating sensation as if two invisible hands were choking her, making it difficult for her to breathe.Liana couldn't bear to meet Catherine's gaze and cautiously lowered her head, avoiding eye contact. Catherine continued to observe Liana, taking note of her every move. Seeing Liana's guilty and timid behavior, Catherine smirked and walked straight into the house.Audrey approached Catherine, her eyes filled with concern. "Kathy, what's going on? Why are you so late?" Before Catherine could respond, a cold and elderly voice came from behind Audrey. "Well, I've never seen someone as arrogant as you, Catherine. You like to keep us waiting, huh?"It was Donna, her face serious and full of disapproval toward
Inside a mountain villa on the remote outskirts of Casier, Paxton walked into the living room lightly with a food box.After placing the food gently on the desk, he said, "Mr. Duncan, you haven't eaten today. You should have some food now!"Branden didn't even have any food today because of Catherine's matter.Having just finished a phone call, Branden was in a good mood. After putting down his phone, he picked up the food Paxton brought, taking a bite every now and then.During Branden's mealtime, Paxton reported the most urgent matter at hand to him."Mr. Duncan, there is news from the hospital that the guy is currently experiencing massive bleeding in his abdominal cavity, with almost all his ribs broken. He has fractured both leg bones and a comminuted fracture of his right arm. A certain amount of accumulated blood in his brain must be cleared before we can know how much he can recover!"Listening to Paxton's report, Branden's expression remained expressionless. His deep and
Because of Adrien's arrival, the original dreary Langs had become cheerful and laughing again, and everyone was talking and discussing enthusiastically.Returning to her senses, Rachael looked at Catherine with increasing disdain. She squinted at her elder sister-in-law, Alyssa Lang.Alyssa had always followed Rachael's lead. When she married into the Langs, Rachael had not yet married into the wealthy family, the Swanns.At that time, the Langs could only be regarded as well-off. Since Rachael married into the Swanns, the Langs had radically changed.Alyssa was deeply cognizant of Rachael's position in the Langs, so she had always obeyed Rachael.With one look from Rachael, she knew what Rachael meant and immediately turned on Catherine."Catherine, I heard that you're also talented in music, and you won an award at the last celebration gala, right?"Just after she said that, the crowd once again dropped their gazes onto Catherine and looked at her in various ways.Audrey orig
Donna didn't show any mercy at all. Everyone from the Langs sat aside, watching Catherine as if they were watching a good show.They all didn't like Catherine.With Rachael's marriage to the top-class family, the Swanns, she led to the prosperity of the entire Langs.Catherine, who was recognized as a jinx, was thrown into the countryside from a young age. And she was suddenly called back to inherit the entire assets of the Swanns, which made the Langs dislike her, whether out of hostility to the rich or consideration for their own interests.They despised Catherine for growing up in the countryside and looked down on her.Watching Catherine being educated, everyone gloated and held back their laughter.Catherine originally had no intention of paying attention, but she didn't expect the Langs to go too far.She casually put down the fork in her hand and looked at Donna indifferently. Her pure brown eyes exuded a cold aura, which made her look as fierce as a raging beast and shar
The news brought by Adrien left the Langs in shock. They had no idea about the specifics of what was happening within the Swanns.In their eyes, Catherine was just a little girl who was harmless and non-threatening.Enzo reacted first and looked toward Adrien."Adrien, are you sure about what you're saying?"After hearing that, Adrien smiled. He had spent years in rigorous training, which had left his skin darker than usual. It made his bright white teeth stand out even more."Dad, do I have any reason to lie?""Adrien, you misunderstand. It's just that it's strange for you to bring up Catherine suddenly. You've never been interested in these matters before. How did you suddenly become aware of the Swanns' internal affairs?"What puzzled Enzo the most was this point. Adrien had never cared about the Langs' interactions or business dealings.This had been the case since he was a child. However, ever since Catherine appeared, Enzo felt that Adrien's attention to her far exceeded
Audrey got out of the car halfway. She just couldn't bear the intense romantic atmosphere inside.Actually, both Catherine and Branden remained silent. They were occupied with their own things.But that feeling was something else.Branden drove the car while Catherine played games on her phone the whole time.As the car stopped at a red light, Branden reached over and adjusted the button to recline Catherine's seat.Catherine, who had been engrossed in her game, suddenly leaned back. She shifted her gaze from her phone to Branden.She coldly stared at Branden with a hint of confusion.Branden gently looked at her with his sparkling eyes."Kathy, give your eyes a break, and I'll wake you up when we're there."Playing on the phone in the car could seriously strain the eyes. Although Branden was driving, he noticed that Catherine had been on her phone for at least half an hour.So he asked her to take a break and rest her eyes.After understanding his intention, Catherine obedi
Ronin's response caused Catherine to furrow her brow. She lowered her voice and asked, "Did you find out who it was?"Ronin was even more helpless when Catherine asked this. Despite his claim of being an intelligence guru, he couldn't even dig up this bit of information."No." Ronin's tone was filled with frustration."Boss, those people are acting mysteriously, and their whereabouts are well-hidden. I had the base's people look into it, but we haven't received any feedback yet. However, they don't seem like they're against us. It looks more like they want to help us."Catherine spoke up lazily after a brief silence on the other end of the phone."Since they're not against us, let it be," she said.Her meaning was clear. If those people were not enemies, they would leave them be.Ronin thought this approach was somewhat risky. After all, they didn't know where these people came from.However, Ronin couldn't help but feel that Catherine had a point. After all, this group had app
