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
Catherine hadn't even entered the classroom when Liana blocked her at the door.Liana seemed to be waiting for her here deliberately.Catherine arched her eyebrows and cast a cold, curious gaze upon Liana."Is there any problem?" she asked.Liana stared at Catherine with a strong hint of dissatisfaction and resentment in her eyes. "Catherine, how could you speak to our grandparents like that yesterday? Do you not have any respect for your elders?""Humph!" Catherine sneered, her clear and bright eyes filled with a hint of mockery as she looked at Liana. "So you are here to accuse me?""You treated your elders this way. Can't I even ask about it?" Liana justified her argument fiercely. After returning home yesterday, she felt uneasy all night and came to school early this morning to confront Catherine.Facing Liana's arrogance, Catherine approached her slowly with a slight smirk and responded in a low voice."Have you thought this through? Are you sure it's not because I exposed
Liana wore an expression that clearly showed her reluctance to engage in conversation with Johnathan. Her gaze purposely avoided meeting his."Forget it. There's no way to explain this situation clearly. Just chill and take care of yourself!"Jonathan knew in his heart that Liana was up to no good.But he couldn't resist his curiosity, so he grabbed Liana by the wrist and wouldn't let her leave."Explain the situation clearly to me. What is going on?" he asked."If you want to leave, you must make everything clear. Otherwise, don't even think about stepping out of the door," said he inwardly.Liana had a hesitant expression as she said, "Forget it. Just consider it as me being impulsive for a moment. Mommy instructed me not to let you know it because you tend to be impetuous, and it could cause a lot of trouble if you found out.""What's the trouble? Are you thinking I would kill Catherine or something?" Johnathan exclaimed with a hint of agitation."I was afraid you were gonna
During vacation time, no one was using the music room at school. Plus, Ronin had applied in advance and had everything prepared.The rehearsal in the morning went surprisingly smoothly. Both Bryan and Ronin felt like they did a good job, but they noticed that their boss didn't seem to be in a great mood.Bryan glanced at Ronin, signaling him to ask Catherine.Ronin responded with a wry face, indicating Bryan silently why he didn't do it himself.After a bit of fussing around, they decided to ask Catherine together.However, at the last moment, Bryan played a little trick by tripping Ronin's foot, causing Ronin to be one step faster than him to reach Catherine.Ronin was so angry he wanted to turn around and beat the scheming Bryan, but for now, he could only grit his teeth and seek advice from Catherine."Boss, why do you seem a bit unsatisfied? Was there something wrong with our performance just now?"Ronin asked cautiously, but he didn't really think there was a problem with
Alyssa's scolding subconsciously froze Audrey. Catherine sat on the side with a slight frown on her face.She raised her head and looked in the direction of Alyssa, her cold eyes shutting Alyssa's mouth as she panicked.Thinking about the task she was put here for today, Alyssa immediately turned her attention to Catherine. The way she treated Catherine was also very different from that of Audrey."Catherine, your grandparents asked me to come here today, mainly to visit you!" Alyssa assumed a high stance, deliberately mentioning Catherine's grandparents from the Langs.But out of her expectations, Catherine didn't buy it. All of Alyssa's words were nonsense to her."Now that you've seen me, can you go now?" said Catherine.Alyssa froze at Catherine's words. She didn't expect this girl's attitude to be so cold and direct. If she hadn't come here with a mission, she would have already taught a lesson to this girl.Thinking of her husband's instructions, Alyssa carried over the ha
Due to Catherine's schedule, the group of people who were supposed to leave early ended up starting their journey in the afternoon.There was a knock on the door, and Audrey hurriedly went to open it. Upon opening the door, she saw Branden standing outside. She immediately stood up straight, behaving like a well-behaved elementary school student.Branden glanced at her without saying a word, and Audrey, realizing this, quickly responded, "Mr. Duncan, Kathy is up. She should be ready soon."Audrey had woken up early to do her makeup and fix her hair before waking up Catherine.Just as she finished speaking, Catherine came out of the bathroom. Perhaps it was because she had just washed her face with hot water; her face still had a hint of warmth, making her look like a fairy stepping out of a dreamlike wonderland. She was so beautiful that it could take one's breath away.Not only men but even Audrey, a woman, was stunned. In her mind, only one word could describe Catherine's beauty
The previous island owner had done a great job in planning the island, and the facilities on the island were exceptionally well-equipped. They arrived at the shore on a private yacht, where a butler personally came to greet them, and the rooms were arranged perfectly. Everyone would spend a pleasant day and night on the ship.After the butler introduced the basic facilities to everyone, Aidan couldn't help but praise Triston, "Well done, my boy! This time, you hit the jackpot, a deal that's guaranteed to make a profit!"When Triston announced that he had bought the island, many people thought he was taking over something that no one else wanted. Now, it seemed that if it weren't for the previous buyer's urgent need for money, Triston wouldn't have gotten such a good deal.Although Casier was highly developed economically, land resources were limited. Most of the available land had been used for building tall buildings and real estate development, with very few opportunities like t
