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
Catherine pushed open the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing a small flatland with a row of lounge chairs next to it.She found a thin blanket and covered herself with it, lazily leaning back on the chair, basking in the sunlight.Seeing her relaxing so comfortably, Branden joined her on the lounge chair.The afternoon sun wasn't as intense. It only brought warmth when it touched their bodies, without any stinging sensation. Triston and the others had finished placing their luggage and gathered in the lobby as planned.Everyone else had arrived, but Catherine and Branden were nowhere to be seen for a long time. This made the rest of them feel a bit strange, especially Triston, who was the host.He raised an eyebrow, smiling wickedly at the others around him. "Well, could the two big shots be having a date, leaving us here?"Just as he finished speaking, Ronin was the first to confront Triston."Stop talking nonsense, or I'll tear your mouth apart. Our boss would never do
Triston suggested playing games together after dinner, but Audrey refused.Triston was enraged and roared, "Why do you come here if you don't want to have fun together? Just looking for another place to sleep?"Audrey's face darkened after being scolded in public. She glowered at Triston coldly. "Yeah, I'm just here to sleep. So what? You've gone too far. Why don't you mind your business?""You bought the island but didn't buy the sea, alright? How about you tell the sea what to do?""You!" Triston was even more furious. She said that he had gone too far in such a sarcastic tone!Did he push things too far and dwell too deeply on it?Wasn't he trying to be a good host since he had invited them to his island?Audrey saw Triston at a loss for words in his fury and stood up to leave the table."I'm all set. I'm going to have a rest. Enjoy yourselves."The crowd finally dared to continue chatting only when Audrey was out of sight.Aidan looked at Triston curiously and asked, "H
Branden took Catherine's hand and led her down the ship. Paxton was not with them, so Branden planned to drive himself.Their cars were all parked at the parking lot by the shore before they headed to the island.Catherine peeked at Branden and noticed the dark circles under his eyes. She said casually, "I'll drive."Branden did not object to it. He was glad that Catherine was thoughtful and cared about him. "Okay," he replied softly and handed the car key to Catherine.Catherine had masterful driving skills. After they got into the car, Catherine started the engine quickly and drove away.The dock was remote, and they did not meet many cars or passengers, so Catherine drove speedily.When driving past a ditch, the car shook violently and hit the side uncontrollably."We have a flat tire," Catherine said sternly.It was an emergency, but Catherine was calm and unaffected by it.Yet, her cold eyes darkened a little, and she sneered.The accident caused the car to rush towa
