At the Swanns'.It was late at night, but Korbin's assistant suddenly visited him.The butler led the assistant to Korbin's study.The assistant handed the file to Korbin. It was the latest information they intercepted. "Mr. Swann. Here's the news of Oceanvile." Korbin read the file with a triumphant smile on his lips.The prick, Leonel, had plotted against them. Catherine had cooperated with Mr. David to have the chip and have the Duncans supporting her.With all kinds of help, Leonel and Catherine increased the stock prices and tried to get Catherine to be the chairperson.But so what?Korbin was still in charge of the Swanns and would inherit the family properties.With that file, Korbin would have an even more bright and prosperous future.Feeling somewhat complacent, Korbin looked up at his assistant and asked sternly, "Have you found Catherine's whereabouts?""Yes, we have, Mr. Swann. Miss Swann didn't go to school in the past few days but went to Oceanvile. We heard
When they were about to enter the turn, the speed was limited to 40 according to the traffic rules.The driver's deceleration did not raise the suspect of the following cars. The speed was slow, so the vehicles behind did not dare get too close to them.Catherine caught an opportunity when the car drove past the next turn and was about to leave the highway.She opened the car door and leaped out.The driver was astonished but did not dare hesitate and sped up.Only in that way could he not arouse the suspicions of the cars following behind and ensure Catherine's safety.Catherine made several rolls and got onto the green belt.The driving speed was not fast, and Catherine was agile, so she did not even have a scratch.Catherine heard the engines off and knew that her enemies might have seen what she had done.She spotted a ditch not far away.That place was dark and wet, and people barely went there.After confirming where her destination was, Catherine set off for it.Seve
Branden left, and Paxton was naturally the one to deal with the mess.Paxton watched his subordinates running toward him with astonished looks and knew that things were not simple.His brows knitted tightly as he asked his subordinates, "What happened in there?"One of his subordinates dared not answer but lowered his head and said to Paxton, "Paxton, you should see it yourself."Paxton strode to the culvert and understood why his experienced subordinates would have such dumbfounded looks.Paxton saw the enemies passed out on the ground in various abnormal postures.He could not help but have the shivers. He even started to feel sorry for the enemies.Paxton did not expect Catherine, who looked so delicate, to be cruel and merciless.Paxton decided never to offend Catherine in the future.Seeing the scene before him, Paxton suddenly considered himself lucky.He was glad Branden was important to Catherine so she would show Paxton, Carlo, and Cory mercy during their fight. Othe
"How do I want to deal with this? Well..."Catherine sneered, and her eyes darkened. Her voice was icy. "He deserves to be punished."She had nothing related to Korbin other than the blood bond.Catherine would not want Korbin's life since he was her father.Yet, Korbin had done things wrong and needed to be punished.He dared to think of getting rid of her and had to be prepared for her fury and the consequences.Paxton was standing to one side and when he saw Catherine's sneer, it sent chills down his spine.He thought Korbin must be nuts not to love his outstanding daughter and, instead, want to kill her.Even wild beasts looked after their young. Korbin was even worse than the beasts and arranged for killers to murder his daughter!The point was that didn't Korbin know how capable Catherine was?No one could save Korbin, even though he was Catherine's father.Catherine stroked her slightly gorged belly and said casually, "I'm stuffed. Maybe I can take a walk and visit my
Catherine's imposing momentum stunned Korbin. He didn't know what Catherine meant.While he was in a daze, Catherine continued speaking."Since you don't admit our relationship, of course I don't need to admit you're my father. In this case, please get out of the Swanns'!"Korbin not only acted tyrannically in her house but also wanted to kill her.What on earth had she done to make these people think she could be easily bullied?"Brat, you finally said it, huh?" Korbin gnashed his teeth and grimaced in anger."I don't know what trick you played to make your grandpa leave all the family assets to you. Now that you've got them, you're going to retaliate against me, right?"I'm the eldest son of the Swanns and you're my daughter. Catherine, aren't you afraid that others may curse you behind your back?" Apart from cursing Catherine, Korbin also complained about her to Branden. "Branden, you're the son of a big family anyway. How can the Duncans allow you to marry such a woman?
Catherine felt that he was so ridiculous. It was the 21st century. And this old man still tried to threaten her by disowning her. Korbin was still waiting for Catherine to bow to him and show repentance.He didn't believe that Catherine would really dare to disown him.Unexpectedly, the next second, the reply he got almost stunned him. "Mr. Swann, I've got a relationship with the editor of Casier News. Do you need me to set you up with the editor?"Hearing the reply, Korbin almost passed out in anger. Catherine was bold indeed. Since she dared to be so arrogant, he wouldn't show mercy then. "Fine, I'll make a statement in the newspaper tomorrow!"Catherine nodded with satisfaction. "Since we're no longer related, I think there is something you should know!""What is it?" Korbin stared at her with a frown. Catherine took out her phone and made a call. Then, she put it on the speaker and threw it to the table. Korbin didn't know what she was up to. Somehow, he felt she d
Half an hour later, Catherine arrived at the destination according to the address provided by Kim. In a parlor of a remote coffee shop, she met Kim, who was wearing a cap and sunglasses. Catherine took a seat. Kim stared at her mysteriously. "Did you look around and notice if you were stalked on the way here?""No!" Catherine replied coldly. Kim didn't believe her and then asked again, "Are you sure?"Catherine shot him a look, which was intimidating enough for him.Kim trembled all over and dared not ask further. He smiled coquettishly and then looked at Catherine fawningly. "Force of habit. You know, your sister is getting more popular. I have to be cautious."Catherine didn't take that to heart and then asked coldly, "You said that Audrey was in trouble. What happened?"She didn't think anything serious would happen to Audrey. After all, she had arranged for someone to protect Audrey. Audrey couldn't be in danger.Just now, Kim called her anxiously, saying that he wa
Faced with Catherine's questions, Audrey felt that Catherine was even more terrifying than Korbin and exuded a feeling as imposing as Vicente.Audrey even felt that the reason why Vicente passed the Swanns' assets to Catherine was that Catherine shared similar character traits to Vicente.Somehow, she felt frightened and couldn't even look into Catherine's eyes. "I was deceived by the fake product and thought I was pregnant. As a result, I acted a bit decadently for a few days, and then Kim found it. The other day, I had a stomachache and went to the hospital only to find that I was diagnosed with a stomach flu!"After saying that, Audrey felt extremely awkward. For the moment, she wished to bury her head in the sand. After hearing Audrey out, Catherine felt relieved for Audrey. Audrey was in the crucial stage of her career. If she was pregnant, she would have to choose between her career and her baby. Just as well it was a mistake. It would save a lot of trouble. "Let's
In the end, Branden couldn't stand it anymore. He took the initiative to snatch Catherine back, only then did the scene come under control.Now, no one dared to continue touching Catherine's belly.Once he snatched Catherine back, he held her tightly in his arms and prevented anyone from touching her. He thought in his mind, "Since these people like this brat so much, I'll just give the brat to them when Catherine gives birth. Saves one more person from sharing my wife with me."Triston smiled and watched the crowd as the birthday party began exactly as it should.The big screen began to show all the images of Audrey from her debut until now that were outstanding or worthy of recording. Some of the images weren't even in Audrey's possession, but Triston had found them and made a video of them.As the images flashed by, Audrey's tears couldn't help but fall from her face. She cried not only because she remembered the hardships she had endured in showbiz for many years, but also bec
Since Triston brought Audrey to meet his family, he had worked non-stop to put their marriage on the agenda.Audrey was a popular actress, and to not affect her career, Triston chose to propose in a low-key manner.Triston arranged a party on Audrey's birthday and invited many of Audrey's friends.Audrey originally thought Triston was too high-profile, but Triston insisted. "I didn't participate in so many of your past birthdays. I finally have a chance to participate this time."He persuaded Audrey repeatedly. Audrey couldn't resist him and could only agree to let him arrange the party.Luckily, he only invited Audrey's close friends and did not send out invitations widely, so she could take this opportunity to have a gathering of friends.Audrey was surprised to see Catherine when she arrived.Catherine was now eight months pregnant. Normally, she would be rejected by Branden if she wanted to visit Catherine.Branden was now very careful with Catherine every day, and Audrey w
Sure enough, only after Audrey said those words, Willa's face completely darkened.Seeing that Willa was about to explode, suddenly...Triston applauded happily, which instantly attracted the crowd's attention.Triston calmly met everyone's gaze and looked at Audrey gently. "Good. You're worthy of being the woman I love. I'm most annoyed with those women who stay at home day in and day out and like to gossip when they have nothing else to do. You have your own career and I'm very supportive of that."Triston said this with a proud look on his face and raised his eyebrows at Audrey, full of smugness.Willa's face instantly turned gloomy.Her son had demeaned her by calling her a gossipy woman just to please another woman, and it made her furious.Egbert kind of realized that his son was totally in love with Audrey. He thought it was good because Triston used to be a playboy and was always surrounded by messy women. At that time, he was really worried that Triston would marry an u
Although Audrey was born into a wealthy family, Triston's mother, Willa Lambert, had always been prejudiced against showbiz and therefore did not approve of Triston's pursuit of Audrey.In Willa's opinion, female celebrities in the showbiz industry had always appeared in public, which was not like the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.It was only after learning that Audrey and Triston might be together that she eagerly introduced Triston to girls in the first place. She didn't realize that after all this time, her son still hadn't given up on Audrey, and this was the first time she'd seen her son so attached to a girl.If it weren't for that, she wouldn't agree to appear at today's dinner party now.Triston led Audrey into the door, and everyone from the Lamberts had already arrived.The scene of everyone sitting in the private room made Audrey feel a bit guilty. She looked guiltily at the crowd and whispered, "I'm sorry. I'm late."Triston's father, Egbert Lambert, had a
Audrey never expected to be so suddenly arranged to meet Triston's family.She couldn't react when Triston talked to her about it. Looking at Triston with disbelief in her eyes, she said, "Pardon me?"Triston's handsome face carried a gentle smile. "I've inquired with Kim. You don't have any work arrangements since this afternoon, and you can also take a day off tomorrow. It's just right for us to have dinner together in the evening."Audrey frowned and asked inwardly, "Is that what I care about?"What she cared about was who Triston had just said she would have dinner with tonight. "Why are you suddenly asking your family to have dinner with me?"The Swanns and the Lamberts were both in Casier and they were also considered to be friends. For Triston's family, although Audrey was not familiar with them, she had seen them at major parties.But in the past, they used to meet as ordinary friends.Now that she and Triston were in a relationship, his sudden proposal to take her to di
Audrey hesitated for a moment but still answered the phone with a nervous heart.She believed that Catherine definitely had a way to get her to answer the phone, but things would be troublesome if she made Catherine take her actions.She put her phone to her ear and inquired in a low voice, "Morning, Kathy. What's the matter?"Catherine's voice remained as cold as ever, without any emotion. "Tell me, what is it that you haven't told me?"Audrey had already figured out a strategy to deal with it and how to excuse herself, but as soon as she answered the phone, Catherine asked her so directly, which made her suddenly unable to react.Audrey had no choice but to tell Catherine the truth.After listening to her trembling narration, Catherine only asked coldly, "Are you sure you want him to be your boyfriend?"Audrey was a bit hesitant. Everyone blessed her and Triston after they found out they were together again, but Catherine was the only one who asked her to calm down and think i
Faced with Triston's questioning, Ronin looked arrogant. "Catherine and Audrey are sisters, so Audrey is my sister. You can bully anyone, but you can't bully her. Or else, we can't even be friends."Ronin's words sounded childish, but there was seriousness inside his eyes when he said those words. He grew up with Catherine and regarded Catherine as his most important family member. To him, Catherine's sister was his sister.After listening to Ronin's words, Triston faintly laughed out. "I see."Ronin thought that Triston didn't take his words to heart, and immediately felt a burning anger. "What do you mean? You don't understand my warning, do you?""Easy!" Triston gestured for him to calm down, then said calmly, "Even death row inmates have a chance to explain, right? You should at least hear me out.""Hmph!" Ronin snorted disdainfully. He secretly thought in his heart, "If Triston says any more asshole words, I'll definitely not show him any respect."Triston put away that cyni
They had an appointment at a recreational manor, a new property Zobber had just bought. Zobber had invited them to come along for the experience.Since Catherine's pregnancy, the entire Hacker Alliance had had much leisure time. Even though there was less to do, they had earned no less money and were basically in a dominant position.Zobber enjoyed the current situation too much becasue there was still money to be made easily. They might only have one business per year, but the profit from this business was already enough for them to spend for a year.After wandering around with her friends, Zobber excitedly looked at everyone. "How about this place? It's not bad, right? I bought it at a high price!"This was Casier, and Triston was aware of any changes in the real estate industry.He had indeed received the news when Zobber auctioned off the manor, and he also knew that Zobber had given an above-market price to take the land. But he knew that Zobber had plenty of money. It was fi
Since that dinner, Audrey had been in a special kind of relationship with Triston.Although they didn't make it clear, Triston could feel that Audrey had slowly accepted him.The number of times they met increased, and most of Audrey's work this year was in Casier.Whenever Triston had free time, he would stay alongside Audrey.Whether on set or during recording sessions, one could always catch a glimpse of Triston.Everyone kind of knew deep down that Triston was the man behind Audrey.But nobody ever exposed this whole thing, mainly because of Triston's identity.Neither he nor Audrey wanted too much attention paid to their relationship right now. If he didn't spill the beans, who else would dare to report on it?Besides, the reason Audrey and Triston's dating didn't cause much jealousy was they were a good match.Among the Four Noble Families in Casier, the Lamberts and the Swanns each held a seat, and the Swanns' power was not weaker than the Lamberts.Plus, now that Cath
