Catherine's admission was direct, and not only Isabella but even Beatrice herself was stunned.Once Beatrice realized what had happened, she felt secretly delighted. She had thought that Catherine was a powerful figure, but it turned out Catherine was just a paper tiger. If it were Beatrice, she would never say it out loud. In this world, everyone likes to sympathize with the weak. Telling the truth wasn't necessarily a good thing to do.Beatrice sniffled and held Isabella's hand, knowing that Isabella would definitely help her. "Bella, I studied so hard to get into Styre University. If I'm forced to drop out, my life will be ruined!"Isabella understood what Beatrice meant and sympathized with her plight. She knew how difficult it was to get into Styre University. During Isabella's three years of high school, she didn't even take a single weekend off, all for the sake of successfully getting into Styre University. Earlier, Isabella was afraid of falsely accusing Catherine, not
The next day at noon, when Amelia and her classmates returned from physical training, they found Beatrice's bed empty with no sign of her belongings.Amelia cautiously looked at Catherine and asked, "Did she really drop out?"Catherine shrugged, indicating that she didn't know.It was inevitable that Beatrice would be expelled, but the specifics of how and when were unknown to Catherine.Unable to get an answer from Catherine, Amelia turned to Isabella, who suddenly said, "She's not dropping out, she's transferring!""Bella, how do you know? Transferring? Which university is she transferring to?" Amelia eagerly questioned Isabella.Isabella felt a bit embarrassed by this question. "Actually, I'm not entirely sure, but Beatrice sent me a message before leaving. She said that even if she forced herself to stay here, she wouldn't be happy, so under her family's arrangement, she transferred to the University of Penny."Hearing this, Amelia couldn't help but feel envious.Indeed, ha
Catherine glanced at Corey and gestured for him to wait. Then, she reached out and pointed at Amelia, signaling her to step forward. Amelia immediately complied with Catherine's arrangement and stood up.Catherine looked at her, her lips slightly curved upwards. "How long does it take for you to start sweating on a day like this?"Without hesitation, Amelia replied, "On a day like this? Well, I may start sweating even without moving. I'll be drenched in sweat just sitting there."As soon as she finished speaking, laughter erupted around her. No one questioned Amelia's words because many of them were in the same situation. In such a scorching summer, everyone would sweat even just sitting, let alone exercising.Catherine approached Amelia and whispered a few words in her ear. "Do you understand?"People who could get admitted to Styre University were considered highly intelligent. Moreover, Catherine's method was relatively simple, so Amelia instantly understood. She nodded at Cath
After a week of physical training, the freshmen suddenly received a notice to start field training."What does field training mean?" the freshmen asked the instructor in confusion.The instructor, with a piece of grass in his mouth, looked at the questioning freshmen with disdain on his face."Didn't you guys say that you are top students? Why don't you even know what field training is?"After a few days of getting along, the instructor had developed a good relationship with the students. He would occasionally joke around with no hard feelings.The freshmen smiled, teasingly saying, "Sir, this isn't a reading comprehension test. Don't play dumb with us. Just tell us.""Listen up. I don't want you to make me feel embarrassed."After the instructor finished speaking, he explained the meaning of field training to the freshmen.There was an old military camp near Styre University, which had some training equipment. Styre University thought that the physical fitness of the freshmen
Corey's sarcastic remarks didn't bother Catherine at all. She didn't need to do anything because her classmates quickly shut Corey down with their comments, leaving him with no courage to stay. He slinked away in embarrassment, which was what he deserved for being so mean.Dylan found that Catherine was leaning against the side, resting. He intentionally coughed twice to wake her up. Catherine opened her eyes, slightly squinting at him, which scared Dylan out of his wits. If it weren't for the students around them, he would have apologized to her right away for disturbing her rest.Dylan lowered his voice and explained, "Ms. Swann, someone is looking for you in the office." Catherine frowned and glanced at him. It was a very indifferent look, but it made Dylan's heart skip a beat. "It has nothing to do with me. It's a command. I don't even know who gave it to me!" Catherine knew that Dylan wouldn't dare to lie to her. The fact that the other party could come to this military
Amelia could tell from Catherine's reaction that she still didn't understand what was going on."Catherine, come with me," Amelia said.She led Catherine to the bulletin board, where the registration form for the games was posted. It detailed the competition events and the list of participants.Catherine glanced at it and saw her name on many of the events. If there weren't restrictions on the number of registrations, the other party would have signed her up for all the events.Amelia knew that Catherine didn't sign up for these events herself. The thought of someone sabotaging Catherine made Amelia restless."Catherine, let's go tell the instructor. We can't let these schemers have their way," Amelia said.Right after Amelia finished speaking, Dylan stepped out and explained, "It can't be changed once it's been decided!"His words meant that Amelia should give up on changing it.Catherine didn't say anything, but Amelia was furious."Sir, this doesn't work!"Dylan looked at
Elvis's arrogance contrasted with Catherine's calm demeanor.The classmates from the EIE class stood behind her in support, unwilling to show weakness.Amelia stepped out and pointed at Elvis, cursing, "Stop hopping around like a sissy. Tell me, what will you do if you lose?"Elvis, knowing that the EIE class had gotten provoked, put on a triumphant smile."You can't scare me, and you can't scare the medical class! Let me tell you, in this competition, you have no chance of winning. If you miraculously win, I'll agree to whatever conditions you set."Catherine took a step forward, standing in front of Elvis with her arms crossed, exuding dominance."If I lose, I'll drop out. And if you lose..."Before Catherine could finish speaking, Elvis excitedly interrupted, "If we lose, then what?""Humph!" Catherine chuckled lightly and stated the punishment she wanted. "You have to live stream eating shit. Do you dare?""Holy crap!" The surrounding students were stunned. They didn't exp
The young instructor felt a bit embarrassed as everyone stared at him. He scratched the back of his head and smiled shyly."10 rings, 10 points!"Catherine hit a perfect ten with her first shot, which was unbelievable! She was amazing!They had initially thought the first shot was luck, but then, as the results of the second and third shots were announced, no one dared to say that Catherine was just lucky. Throughout the competition, Catherine never missed the 10-ring.Everyone was astonished, except for Dylan, who knew that even if Catherine closed her eyes, she could easily hit the center of the 10-ring.The shooting competition ended, and Catherine easily took first place. Seeing this, the students from the EIE class all rushed forward under the lead of Amelia.Originally, they wanted to give Catherine a hug to celebrate. But when they got close to her, one glance from her made them silently shrink back in fear.There was no way to describe the powerful aura emanating from Ca
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
