Triston also noticed that Audrey didn't seem to understand what he was talking about. He pointed a finger at Branden, then at Catherine.Audrey understood immediately that Triston was talking about Branden and Catherine being engaged.In the upper-class community, Branden was the dream of countless girls. Many people took marrying the Duncans as their lifelong ambition.However, Branden was cold and didn't like to socialize with others. He spent most of his time on his work and was rarely heard to be involved with any woman.In fact, Branden was even once rumored to be gay, as there was only Triston by his side all the time.Audrey studied Branden carefully with a brief glance at him.Even though she had only taken one look at him, Audrey was almost frozen by Branden's cold presence. She looked away hurriedly and didn't dare to look at him again.Even though Branden was a great man, Audrey felt he was incompatible with Catherine. Audrey didn't know what Vicente was thinking abou
In the afternoon, after Catherine returned to her class.The class quieted down immediately. It was even quieter than when the homeroom teacher arrived.Everyone had their eyes fixed on Catherine. Some of them looked surprised, some disdainful, and some were once again mesmerized by Catherine's beauty.Despite being the focus of everyone's attention, Catherine acted as if nothing was wrong and went back to her seat.As she sat down, the discussions around her started again."How is she still here? Didn't Bryan teach her a lesson? I heard that no girl could live to see tomorrow in the classroom after approaching Bryan. Even though it has only been a morning, isn't it more than enough for Bryan to make her disappear already?""Who knows? Maybe she is skillful in her own way. I heard that she carries a curse and is a jinx herself. Her own family abandoned her since she was just a child.""Shut up! Don't let Catherine hear you. I heard she's tough and a great fighter for growing up
Just as everyone thought Bryan would get mad at Catherine and was praying silently for Catherine, Bryan's attitude left everyone in shock again.Bryan's serious expression broke into a faint smile suddenly, which made him seem more relaxed and less stern.He pulled his chair out, sat down, leaned towards Catherine, and looked at her in a friendly manner. "It's okay. We are now classmates and deskmates already. We'll become somewhat like friends when we are more familiar with one another, won't we?"Everyone was speechless. Was this the Bryan they knew?Why did he look like a playful hooligan flirting with girls?Catherine took another rare glance at Bryan, who had changed his attitude so suddenly.She suddenly felt that Bryan looked somewhat like Ronin.But he wasn't as cute as Ronin was. Besides, she already had Ronin and did not need another boy like him.If Bryan knew what Catherine was thinking about right now, he would surely go mad.After all, he was the boss that everyo
Bryan was so agitated that he forgot Catherine was still sleeping next to him. Now that she was awake, she looked cold with her brows furrowed.For no reason at all, Bryan couldn't help but be slightly scared seeing her like this. He spoke nervously, "Catherine, I...""It's so noisy!"With her brows knitted, Catherine said this unhappily, which made Bryan shut up immediately.When the mathematics teacher saw Catherine looking so casual, she grew even more disdainful towards her.As Bryan stopped talking at just a light comment from Catherine, the mathematics teacher couldn't help but grow even angrier.Bryan talked back to her all he wanted, even when she was the teacher.However, Catherine made Bryan shut up with three simple words. The mathematics teacher felt that she had been humiliated. It was as if she was not intimidating at all.The mathematics teacher rolled her eyes and looked at Catherine, speaking in a weird tone, "What is it? Is the pig awake and ready to save the
It was not only the mathematics teacher, but nobody believed Catherine could come top in the class.After all, Sincere High School was the most famous high school in the city, and Class 8 was the best in the school. A top university would admit half of the students who graduated from such a class.In fact, to admit more students from a class like this, there was even news that top universities fought at the school's gate. One could see how great the students of Class 8 were.The mathematics teacher didn't believe a student like Catherine, who was probably illiterate, could be top in the class.Being top in Class 8 would mean being the top of the year. That was for sure.In the face of Catherine's taunts, the mathematics teacher smiled mockingly. "Since you dare to make such a promise, I'll see how you do. If you come top in the class on the test next week, I'll apologize to you in front of the entire school."As she was finished, Catherine added, "And admit you're the pig!"She
Catherine pointed at the exercise she had just thrown at Bryan, then said to him, "You. Go and teach the class."When Bryan opened his exercise just now, she glanced at his answers.They were basically all correct and were all solved clearly and logically. She could tell that he was pretty smart.Stunned, Bryan couldn't believe Catherine was asking him to teach the entire class. Was he hallucinating?Who would believe something so outrageous?However, it was really happening. Seeing that Bryan didn't move, Catherine looked at him with a brow raised. Her eyes grew colder as she said, "Do you not want to?"Bryan replied without thinking, "I do!"Then, Bryan picked up the exercise, got to the front, and faced the class."The multiple-choice questions in the front are too easy. I will skip those. Let's start with the long questions..."Bryan was the best in mathematics in the class. Many students begged him to teach them, but he never agreed.Now, he was actually teaching the cla
This was probably the first time Branden had ever been rejected in his life.It was also the first time he had taken the initiative and been rejected.However, Branden wasn't upset at all. Instead, a faint, mischievous smile played on his thin lips as he spoke."Give me a reason!"Just like last time with Catherine at the Charm Bar, he wanted an explanation.He would let Catherine go if she could convince him.Catherine raised an eyebrow, her attitude indifferent, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness and rebelliousness. At this moment, she exuded a wild and arrogant aura."I do what I want!"She never needed to justify her actions, no matter who she was with.A sense of rebellion and untamed spirit emanated from her entire being, which was remarkable to witness.After a few seconds of silence, Branden chuckled."Let me take you back home!" he said.Catherine knew that this man was up to something.Perhaps he knew from the beginning that she wouldn't agree to have dinner wi
Hearing Catherine's question, Branden surprisingly didn't get upset as he usually would. Instead, he responded with a faint smile."It belongs to Triston," he explained to Catherine.With those words, Catherine instantly understood. The Lamberts were not lacking in money, so if Triston opened a barbecue restaurant, it would likely satisfy her appetite.It meant the restaurant wouldn't cut corners with low-quality ingredients, so everything here must be decent.Catherine pondered this and suddenly felt her appetite whetted.Once she had the thought, she was determined to try the international barbecue restaurant.Catherine instructed Paxton, who was in the driver's seat, "Pull over to the side!"Paxton obediently followed her order and pulled over to the side. After all, his boss hadn't uttered a word throughout, which meant he should listen to Miss Swann.After the car came to a stop, Catherine instinctively opened the door and got out, following the scent of barbecue.Her sen
