Outside the ward, Paxton had almost brought all the medical experts from the laboratory, and they were in the midst of a consultation. Branden was still in a comatose state and had not woken up yet. No one knew the reason behind this coma or what method could be used to wake him up.Another hour passed, but there was still no sign of any recovery. In a state of panic, Paxton reached for the gun at his waist, preparing to rush in. His subordinates quickly held him back, saying, "Paxton, don't be hasty!"While Paxton could remain calm in other situations, he couldn't calm down when his invincible boss encountered a problem. Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, his emotions were no longer stable.Suddenly, a cold voice disrupted the chaos. "What are you doing here?" Everyone turned around and saw Catherine walking towards them with an arrogant stride. Paxton, already enraged, saw Catherine's arrival as an outlet for his anger. He charged at her directly, angrily asking,
Thomas's scolding left everyone present dumbfounded. The attending physician stared at Thomas in disbelief, his face filled with fear. "Mr. Theo, what's going on? Is there anything wrong with my previous treatment plan?" he asked."What treatment did you perform? Tell me!" Thomas impatiently looked at the attending physician, his eyes filled with disgust.The attending physician lowered his head and responded cautiously, "Mr. Theo, since we haven't been able to determine the cause of Mr. Duncan's coma, we have only conducted various tests and have not administered any medication."He had no choice. He was also innocent. Branden's status was so noble that he couldn't just come up with a treatment plan casually. What if something unexpected happened? He couldn't afford the consequences! Every step he took was extremely cautious. After numerous discussions, he finally made the decision. And because there were different opposing opinions each time, which required constant argument
Catherine returned to the training ground, where the trainees were diligently conducting physical training. Even if Catherine, their instructor, wasn't present, they didn't dare to slack off.Carlo and his two brothers had already returned to the training ground. Their gaze remained fixed on Catherine when she appeared. Catherine approached them with an arrogant stride, her cold eyes giving off an icy aura.Once their eyes met Catherine's, fear gripped the hearts of the three men. It felt as if the funeral bells were tolling, accompanied by a mournful lament.Catherine glanced at the three men and pointed at them with her hand. "You, you, and you, step forward!"Silently, the three men stepped forward, their hearts pounding wildly. Their teammates beside them mourned silently for them. Everyone knew that the instructor had a reputation for being ruthless. If the instructor suddenly called them out by name, it couldn't be anything good.With her hands behind her back, Catherine
After the training was over, Catherine headed straight to the hospital.At the entrance of the ward, the people guarding Branden saw Catherine and voluntarily saluted her, each one more devout and respectful than the last.Catherine still had a cold expression on her face, showing no emotions and emitting a formidable aura.Paxton was inside the ward, and when he saw Catherine enter, he immediately saluted her with admiration in his eyes."Miss Swann!"Catherine glanced at him, her icy gaze at him lingering for only a second before shifting away.Branden had awakened. Just as Thomas had mentioned, Branden had exhausted himself physically and was too tired, so he fell asleep.This kind of physical exhaustion was not the ordinary tiredness that was caused by running too much, which only needed some sleep. Humans had only tapped into less than twenty percent of their physical potential, but under the influence of the experimental reagent, Branden had unlocked more than half of hi
When Paxton arrived, Catherine was no longer in the ward. He heard that she had gone to the training ground to train those little brats. He also received news that the Duncan trio had been severely tortured.Carlo had attempted to surrender several times, but the other two stopped him.Paxton could imagine how cruel Catherine's methods were.Branden, lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes instantly when Paxton entered the room. His icy gaze was like a sword, bursting out from his eyes, sharp and horrified!"Where is she?"Paxton understood Branden's meaning and immediately gave an answer. "Boss, Miss Swann is still training them on the training ground!"If Branden had known earlier that Catherine was Anon, he wouldn't have spent a fortune to hire this instructor and bring her to Scorpion Island for training.The environment on Scorpion Island was harsh, and the training was tough. Catherine had gotten tanned these past few days, which made him feel heartbroken.Paxton didn'
As expected, Catherine's next move was incredibly cruel, mercilessly torturing people without any mercy. There weren't many people left to begin with, and she managed to torture them to the point where only eight people remained, including Branden. However, this wasn't the result of Catherine going easy on Branden. It was because of his overwhelming power. Despite suffering serious injuries, he was still able to stand out among this group of people and successfully survive. Tomorrow would be the last day of training. As long as they could survive the final test tonight, they would be considered successful in their training. No one knew how many more people Catherine was planning to eliminate. Or perhaps, none of them would be able to pass the test. On the first day of entering the training camp, everyone thought Catherine was joking. After all, they were here to train. How could they all be eliminated? But now, those who had said that Catherine was joking knew they were naïve
Catherine turned her head and looked at Paxton, her sharp gaze instantly tightening his heart, making even his breath unstable."Miss Swann, why are you looking at me like that?" Paxton asked, his voice trembling.Catherine said coldly, her face expressionless, "Since Branden forbids you from telling me, why do you bring me here?"People like them had to constantly remember their identities and responsibilities. They could be devoid of emotions and even cold-blooded, but they must always obey orders. Their only duty was to obey their superiors.Paxton knew that he had violated his boss's command, committing the most unforgivable and deadly mistake a follower could make. He silently lowered his head, straightened his back, and faced Catherine."Miss Swann, after the training ends tomorrow, I will go to my boss and accept my punishment." The consequences of disobeying orders would be more painful than death. Having worked for Branden for so many years, Paxton understood this bette
Catherine did go to sleep. When she woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.Catherine leisurely finished washing up and headed towards the surveillance room.Inside the surveillance room, Paxton was still engrossed in staring at the monitor screens, not even noticing Catherine's entrance.It was only when Catherine pulled out a chair and sat down that he heard the sound of the chair sliding on the floor. He quickly turned around. Upon seeing that it was Catherine, he let out a sigh of relief."Miss Swann!" Paxton exclaimed.Catherine nodded slightly and glanced at him, noticing that his eyes were bloodshot.Frowning, Catherine asked, "You've been here all night?""Yes!" Paxton admitted, nodding.The battle was more interesting than watching a movie. More importantly, he was worried about Branden's physical condition, so he stayed up all night without resting.For Paxton, not resting for a night wouldn't be a problem. He was still full of energy. But staring at the scr
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
