Audrey Swann was filming enthusiastically on the set. During a break, Kim Morris rushed in, looking extremely anxious.Audrey felt a bit flustered seeing his worried expression."Kim, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Audrey asked."Audrey, did you gather your fans to vote for Catherine Swann?" Kim asked seriously.Audrey hesitated momentarily and nodded, "Yes, Kathy has recently been participating in a university event. Thus, I asked my fans, Ava, to support and cheer for her."Ava was a senior member of Audrey's fan club who regularly communicated with Audrey and helped promote various publicity matters. This time, Audrey wanted to show her support for Kathy's competition and even made announcements on Twitter. Ava had also helped with the promotion.Kim frowned and looked at Audrey with a great deal of resentment. "I told you to consult with me before making decisions. Why don't you listen? Can you gather votes so casually?"Audrey didn't understand and looke
No one knew what Catherine meant. The online buzz was growing and even filled with criticism against her. Grayson's fans attacked Catherine as if they had gone mad, accusing her of being a seductress who used men for her gain.However, Catherine remained calm. She refused to address the situation herself and discouraged others from getting involved. It all seemed quite mysterious.Ronin was unhappy about this but didn't dare speak up due to Catherine's authority. Scott didn't quite understand the situation and cautiously asked, "Shouldn't we do something about these clowns who are insulting us?"Catherine replied expressionlessly, "Let them be. They will eventually reveal themselves after some time."It was evident that the post was deliberately released, and Catherine had no faith in the claims about behind-the-scenes staff. No one expected that a simple university competition would attract so much attention. The staff arranged by the sponsors was simply insufficient. The
Faced with Aidan Lane's reminder, Branden Duncan remained calm.He had never asked about Catherine's past or arranged for anyone to investigate her life in the countryside. He knew that Catherine had secrets, but he had never mentioned it.As long as Catherine didn't tell him, he wouldn't inquire."No need!" said Branden.Branden straightforwardly rejected Aidan's suggestion.Seeing this, Aidan could only put away his thoughts. He was extremely curious about Catherine's identity and background, believing she was more than just a member of the Swanns.However, since Branden had made it clear, he didn't dare to investigate more toward Catherine, fearing that Branden would trip him up.Anyway, he didn't have the courage!Aidan and Triston Lambert exchanged glances and could only give up on their suggestions.Shermann Hotel, Room 603.Liana didn't join her friends from Oceanvile in celebrating. She had no time for friends. In front of an exquisite notebook, the flickering s
After the final run-through, Catherine saved the data and left the lab.She stared at Rodge and Scott calmly as she said casually, "Simulation is done, and data is saved. Double-check it, and feel free to reach out if there's an issue.""Is that it?" Scott exclaimed in surprise, with his mouth wide open.Catherine raised an eyebrow. She lowered her head and shot him a quick glance. "What did you expect?""Chief, last time, Rodge and I pulled all-nighters for a week to run a single simulation. Chief, you managed to finish it in less than two hours..."Scott was truly taken aback by Catherine's skills. They said that seeing was believing.He had heard about Catherine's prowess and how she was rumored to be a genius in her field.However, it was all hearsay, and he had never experienced it firsthand. He had no idea of Catherine's skills.Now, having witnessed it with his own eyes, he finally understood why Catherine was considered a genius in the intellectual community.As Scott
Catherine stepped out of the neighborhood and spotted a black car waiting at the side.Branden was not sitting in the car. He leaned against it and waited for her.As she appeared, Branden took the initiative to approach.They were just a step apart when Branden reached out and naturally took Catherine's hand.As their hands intertwined, Branden frowned. He asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Your hand is so cold."Before Catherine could respond, Branden gently pulled her hand into his embrace and warmed it with his own body heat."Come. Let's get in the car and warm up a bit."In reality, Catherine wasn't actually cold. Her hand was icy from the two hours she had spent in the lab operating machinery without a break.Once inside the car, Branden instructed Paxton, who was seated in the front. He said, "Increase the car's temperature."Thanks to the car's excellent performance, the interior temperature rose within seconds.Catherine had just endured two hours of high-inten
Audrey's confrontation made those reporters think twice about causing a scene.Taking the opportunity, Kim led Audrey away from the media frenzy. As soon as they got into the car, Kim couldn't help but scold Audrey."I told you not to act impulsively. Why didn't you listen?"You've just offended all those reporters, and no one will speak well of you in the future."In the entertainment industry, the last people one wanted to offend were the reporters.Their pens were like swords. They could make or break a person's reputation.Reporters didn't solely depend on celebrities for their livelihood. It was a mutually beneficial relationship.They liked fish and water, and they were inseparable from each other.Audrey held onto one reporter publicly. If they all teamed up against her, her path in the industry would become treacherous.In the face of Kim's scolding, Audrey maintained a humble demeanor, but she didn't regret it this time.When those reporters criticized her, she could
Catherine had just opened her Twitter when she was bombarded by a barrage of mocking comments from netizens.Catherine once claimed on a variety show while accompanying Audrey that she would never venture into the entertainment industry.Now, Catherine was being dragged into the spotlight, with many netizens accusing her of having a burning desire for fame.Some even started a trending topic on Twitter, demanding a vote to kick Catherine out of the competition. They believed that someone like Catherine didn't deserve to be part of the competition team, let alone have the qualifications to win.Apart from some objective commenters, there were also a bunch of bored keyboard warriors. They vented their frustrations under Catherine's tweet with a barrage of insults and curses.After Branden glanced at it, his expression darkened instantly.He reached out to take Catherine's phone from her hand. "Don't look at that. How about some late-night snacks?Although late-night snacks were no
In Oceanvile, Catherine came across several high-profile figures on Twitter, all with verified accounts.One of them was a renowned music producer who had posted a tweet garnering a lot of likes and followers on Twitter."The music industry has seen better days than a decade ago, but we're still working hard. Let's not bring negative influences into the music industry and tarnish the last traces of purity in this circle!"Although he didn't directly mention Catherine on Twitter, he had previously liked a post from a popular blogger who criticized Catherine. It didn't take much guessing to figure out who he was referring to.A group of fans joined in. They passionately supported his views and added their own criticism of Catherine.Branden glanced at the man's Twitter profile and immediately provided Catherine with background information."He is from the Hazels in Oceanvile. He has a niece participating in the competition."With the last name Hazel, she participated in the same c
