"Kathy, you know what..."Since they left the study, Audrey had been following Catherine, babbling on and on. Mainly, she kept calling Catherine Kathy. Audrey's nagging just pissed Catherine off. Catherine turned around and pressed her hand against the wall to fix Audrey in the corner.Audrey and Catherine were sisters, but Audrey was about four inches shorter than the latter. Thus, Catherine had to lower her head when she looked at Audrey. Catherine slightly knitted her brows, showing two faint wrinkles on her face. She darted a cold glance at Audrey and asked sternly, "What did you call me?"Somehow, Audrey suddenly felt that Catherine looked so masterful and intimidating. She couldn't help shuddering all over in fear. She raised her head to look at Catherine gingerly and said discreetly, "I called you Kathy."Instantly, Catherine's brows were heavily furrowed. She gazed at Audrey impatiently. "Don't call me that way!" Catherine snapped. "Why? Kathy..." Audrey subconsci
At Duncan Corporation.In the office on the top floor, Paxton gave Branden the information he had just gotten.Branden knew it was Paxton without looking up. He could even guess what Paxton was here for.Branden's expression didn't change at all. He didn't even move his eyes.Branden parted his lips, looking emotionless and cold as he said lightly, "News from Hacker Alliance?"Paxton was caught off guard. He didn't expect his boss to have known by guessing so accurately. After all, Paxton had only gotten the information a few minutes ago."Yes, Mr. Duncan.""Hacker Alliance has agreed to meet with us. The meeting is set for eight o'clock tonight."The news left Branden frowning lightly. Despite having guessed that Hacker Alliance would agree to meet, Branden didn't expect them to set the time so close. Did Hacker Alliance mean to leave the Duncans no time to prepare?Seeing Branden's face had darkened, Paxton's brows furrowed too.In his eyes, this matter could not be handled
After entering the room, Joseph put the safe he had been carrying on the table.Joseph looked coldly ahead and made such a strong presence that intimidated others when he entered the room."Mr. Duncan, this is the chip Hacker Alliance has just developed. We can sell it to you at the original price and give your company exclusive use for a year. But you must promise to give us 30 percent of the development project shares."Apart from looking at Joseph once when he came into the room, Branden did not look at him again.After hearing Joseph's condition, Branden turned to look at him slowly.On his handsome face, his deep eyes looked cold and bottomless.Just a look from him was enough to make Joseph's heart skip a beat, even though he was usually bold.Branden was too horrible. He was even scarier than Joseph's Boss.Branden's fingers moved slightly on his knee, and Paxton knew what he meant immediately.Paxton looked up at Joseph with the same cold and expressionless face."My
Two minutes later, the rest of Branden's men arrived in a rush. They saw Branden holding a black trench coat in his hands, standing rooted on the spot looking gloomy.One of them plucked up his courage, went up to Branden, and asked, "Mr. Duncan, is he gone?"Branden didn't need to answer, as one could see how things were at a glance.Branden glanced at the mannequin on the floor, an arrogant ridicule at him.It was the first time for him to have a taste of defeat. A creepy smile appeared on his gloomy face.Branden's men, who had been with him for so many years, couldn't help but shiver in fear after seeing his smile.They rarely saw Branden get mad at anything. However, the angrier Branden was, the calmer he would appear. From the smile on Branden's face, they could tell that he was really furious.They all knew that someone was in big trouble. However, they did not know who that person was yet.Branden ordered coldly, "Secure the bar immediately. I don't want to see even a f
Branden rolled down the window, took out a pack of cigarettes from the side, and was about to flip it open.However, seeing Catherine's brows slightly furrowed, Branden put the pack of cigarettes back and rolled the window back up.Everything happened in silence. It was as though nothing had happened.Branden stared at the cold expression on Catherine's face. A trace of a smile glistened in his cold eyes as he told her his condition."I don't want the Swanns' shares. I only want one thing. If you can get it, I'll sign your contract.""What is it?" Catherine asked immediately.Looking tense, Catherine couldn't help but frown. She knew what Branden wanted must be hard to get.Branden asked casually, "Have you heard of Hacker Alliance?"As he spoke, Branden looked remarkably calm. It was as if he was talking about something irrelevant and unimportant.However, Catherine knew immediately that Branden suspected her.Her identity might be a huge secret for others. However, she thou
Audrey saw Catherine stopping in front of an empty mansion. She couldn't help but find it weird and walked up to Catherine to ask her what it was about.The mansion was even larger than that of the Swanns'. It was the most luxurious mansion in the neighborhood. However, after it had been built, it had been empty for all three years.Audrey went up to Catherine and was about to pat her on the shoulder when Catherine opened the door of the mansion.Audrey was in shock. Why did Catherine have a key to this mansion?Before she could figure it out, Catherine had already slipped into the house and returned on a heavy motorcycle.With a beautiful drift, Catherine parked steadily next to Audrey.Audrey couldn't help but exclaim as if her chest was bursting, "Kathy, you're so cool!"Catherine had just parked and almost toppled over at her words.She raised her head and looked at Audrey, who was still looking surprised, with a frown.Was she really her birth sister?Catherine took a bl
After leaving the Principal's Office, Audrey still had her brows furrowed. She was starting to regret what she had decided upon careful consideration.She muttered to Catherine, "No, I have to see the principal again. You can't go to Class 8. Liana is in Class 8. You can't be in the same class with her. With her character, she would surely cause trouble for you."With that, Audrey turned to head back to the Principal's Office, but Catherine grabbed her arm and yanked her back.Audrey looked up at Catherine in confusion.Catherine said lightly, "There's no need!""No need? Are you okay with being in Class 8? But what if Liana bullies you?" Audrey looked at her somewhat worriedly.Bully her?Catherine was confident that no one on earth could bully her. She smiled lightly, looking somewhat scary but casual as she said jokingly, "I'll bully her back then."For some reason, Audrey felt that Catherine was not joking.After all, she had seen Liana fighting with Catherine. Despite bei
It wasn't that nobody wanted to sit next to Bryan. It was that nobody dared to sit next to him.If Liana was the prettiest girl in Loyalty Academy, Bryan was the school bully.Nobody dared to cross Bryan. Besides, the youngest son of the Duncans was known to have a taboo, which was that he didn't like girls.Therefore, Bryan's seat was surrounded by male students.In the past, a girl that didn't know better forced her way into sitting near Bryan.She was kicked out of the classroom that day and was asked to quit school the next day. Since then, no girl dared to even think about sitting near Bryan.Now, the homeroom teacher asked the new student to sit beside Bryan directly. Everyone was worried about the new student. Some students couldn't help but wonder if the teacher hated the new student for making such an arrangement.Since Catherine stepped into the classroom, she had attracted the eyes of many. Now, it could be said that she was the center of attention.However, Catherin
