No one expected that Styre University would come to Loyalty Academy to recruit students this time. This was an unprecedented thing.Liana, who had just been bent on attending the University of Penny, was now shaken.Being selected by Styre University would naturally be much better than attending the University of Penny.After all, her grades were in the top three. If she didn't have a chance in this group of people, the others would have even less.Liana was about to come forward with her resume. Not only her, but all the students present had such thoughts. Everyone wanted to be the lucky one.The gray-haired professor sat on the chair with his back straight and his face solemn as he scanned the crowd.After a while, the old professor suddenly spoke."Is there a student named Catherine Swann among you!"Hearing this, the crowd spontaneously made way to reveal Catherine, who was sitting at the very end.Catherine was still playing games with her phone. She had no interest in ad
The gazes of the people present were all focused on Marshall. No one knew what the reason was that this authoritative international professor was so amazed. After all, he was always composed.Marshall repeatedly checked what Catherine had written and then looked up at Catherine with a face full of amazement."Catherine, do you know the programming of chips?"Ronin snorted at the side. Catherine was more than knowing. She was considered the top in this industry.If it weren't for Catherine's low profile, everyone present should have called her teacher respectfully.Faced with Marshall's inquiry, Catherine nodded casually. "I know a little."But how could Marshall believe that?The students in his team who had been with him for several years might not have this understanding. Marshall felt more and more that he had come to the right place.There were provincial top scorers every year, but there were not many with full marks.He originally came with this thought, but he didn't ex
After the end of the enrollment, Ronin insisted that they must have dinner together tonight, saying that it had been quite a while since Catherine had gathered with them.Thinking that it had been almost a month since they last saw each other, Catherine agreed.The group had just walked out of the classroom when they heard urgent footsteps coming from behind."Hey, you! Stop right there!"The familiar voice made everyone furrow their brows. There was no need to guess who it was. Ronin impatiently exclaimed, "Catherine, let's go. No need to pay any attention to this crazy woman!"It seemed like Liana saw through Ronin's thoughts. She hastened her steps and arrived in front of the group, directly blocking Catherine.Catherine stopped in her tracks and gave Liana a cold stare.Seeing Catherine's face, Liana was pissed off.In her eyes, she felt Catherine was looking down on her with a condescending attitude.Liana gritted her teeth, glaring at Catherine with eyes full of hatred
Someone reported Branden's situation to Triston.Triston turned around and saw Branden walking toward him.When the big shot appeared, people on both sides quickly moved aside to make way.Branden stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his gaze firmly fixed on the stage below.Without even looking at the face, he knew that it was his woman.Plus, he even saw that his silly nephew occupied the neighboring booth.As the woman made a wild leap, her clothes flew up, exposing her slender and pristine waist and prompting screams from the audience under the lights.Branden's face instantly darkened with eyes as cold as an icy pond.Everyone around him felt the atmosphere in the private room suddenly turn icy, and nobody knew what happened.They were too scared to speak and even dared not look at the big shot, only able to turn toward Triston on the side, asking about the situation.Triston was also pretty confused at first but eventually figured it out."Over the years
Early in the morning, Catherine reluctantly woke up in a haze of smoke, feeling groggy and tired.As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the man beside her, shirtless and looking like a noble deity from mythology.On the handsome and delicate face of the man, there lay a cigarette between his thin lips. His slightly raised brow showed a hint of sadness.This was the first time Catherine had seen Branden smoke in front of her.She knew Branden smoked, but in her memory, he had never smoked in front of her, not even letting her catch a whiff of the smell.Last night, Branden persistently lingered with her in sex and finally released her with reluctance until dawn.She was too tired to say anything, so she just closed her eyes and turned around to fall into a deep sleep.When he noticed the movement beside him, Branden's eyes flashed with a panic. His first response was to put out the cigarette in his hand.Having no time to find an ashtray, he snuffed out the cigarette butt with
Catherine was still playing a game online with Ronin and a few others when she got the news.She threw down the gamepad and rushed to the hospital as soon as possible.Outside the operating room, Audrey, Liana, and Rachael had already arrived. They all stood at the door of the operating room with a solemn expression.Catherine walked from the intersection toward the depths of the corridor. Her pace was slow. She looked so calm that one could not tell what mood she was in.Her footsteps echoed, and everyone turned around.Seeing Catherine appear, Rachael's eyes were immediately filled with anger.She sprinted forward and rushed toward Catherine.Audrey's movements were faster. She stepped in front of Catherine quickly, separating Catherine and Rachael.Seeing Audrey in front of Catherine, Rachael stopped in her tracks.She looked at Audrey with a fierce look in her eyes and snarled, "You're still defending Catherine. If it weren't for her, how could your Dad be lying inside the
Catherine contacted Ronin after she left the hospital. They got together again for dinner.However, this time, Catherine did not choose to have a barbecue.Influenced by Branden, she had been enjoying some lighter-flavored dishes lately. They chose light dishes today.Ronin shaved the bones of the chicken legs and placed them on Catherine's plate. Bryan, who was sitting next to him, did not want to be outdone. He poured a cup of iced cola and handed it to Catherine.But they all tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of the Swanns the whole time. They all knew that Catherine did not like to hear about these things, so no one dared to mention it.Seeing that Catherine had a good appetite today, Ronin served her some soup. He took the opportunity to ask, "Catherine, if we go to Loxton to study, won't you and Mr. Duncan be separated?"Catherine picked up the soup and took a sip. After that, she put the soup down slowly before responding to Ronin lazily."That's not true. The Dunc
Rachael was furious the moment the demand note of her husband's medical bill was thrown in her face.She did not expect that there would be a day in her lifetime when she was called for debt.Originally, she had planned to hire two full-time caregivers to watch over her husband 24 hours a day. This way, both she and her daughter could rest without being bothered.However, she never expected to receive a demand note from the nurse after she arrived at the hospital.Staring at the amount owed, Rachael's brow furrowed."Are you guys mistaken? How could we possibly be in arrears?"The nurse was with a cold face and a somewhat aloof attitude.She said to Rachael, "The demand note is clearly stated. Your pre-paid fees were used up yesterday. Please pay the fees as soon as possible so as not to delay the treatment!"After saying that, the nurse left the ward without looking back.Rachael rubbed the demand note in her hand into a ball angrily and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it. Don't
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
