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
The group of thugs surrounded Catherine. They sprang upon her and attacked her.The first action Catherine took was to push Branden behind her abruptly away.Her movement was precise and pushed Branden out of the surrounding circle. Since those men were after her, she would handle them herself.Branden's brows slightly furrowed when Catherine pushed him away.He watched as Catherine punched out and hit a man to the ground agilely, and there was a hint of resignation in his pretty eyes.His girlfriend was too capable, leaving no chance for him to protect her.How he wished he could do something for her!The thugs closed in upon her again, all having weapons in their hands.They had thought it would be a snap to take down Catherine. Yet, one of them was down first, and they did not even see how Catherine made her move.Catherine had planned to punch them with her bare hands. She felt a slight sting in her palm when she clenched her fists. She lowered her eyes and saw the bright
The police station was in the suburbs, a district known for its law and order. Generally, few people would call the police or report cases, and the police officers there were under a little less pressure.However, that day, the police station could be considered crowded. All kinds of noises and screams echoed, and the outsiders might think that something terrible was happening.Paxton was going through the procedures. The police officers who took statements noticed Paxton's extraordinary aura.They thought, "The man and woman sitting aside must be from prestigious families. I can tell it from a glance."Although they are still young, they are already so good-looking, not inferior to those movie stars."The one who called the police was a driver. He passed the tunnel and witnessed the affray.According to his narration, the police arranged for two patrol cars to head to the scene.Unexpectedly, those who fought weren't brought back to the police station by the two patrol cars but
