When Catherine caught sight of Edson, she felt a moment of annoyance and turned around, preparing to leave.At this point, Edson had already spotted Catherine. Seeing Catherine about to leave, he hurriedly caught up. "Cassie!"Amelia was puzzled by Catherine's sudden change of direction and did not know what had happened. Then she witnessed the handsome foreign guy suddenly chasing after Catherine and shouting her name.Amelia was dumbfounded, muttering to herself, "Oh my goodness, Super Catherine is truly different. Even such a top-notch foreign guy is chasing after her."Hearing footsteps behind her, Catherine halted, hands in her pockets. She then adopted a cool demeanor and stared at Edson.Displaying a domineering attitude, she said with an icy tone devoid of emotion, "If you think a beating isn't enough, feel free to try."Catherine assumed a ready-to-fight posture, scaring Edson pale. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. Among all the women globally, only Ca
Edson looked proudly at the scene. Even though danger might be looming ahead, he had no regrets.Witnessing Branden's anger was not something an ordinary person could achieve. He provocatively looked straight at Branden. He was fully aware of what a man could not tolerate and was challenging Branden's limits.The situation reached a stalemate, and a fight was about to erupt.Suddenly, Catherine, who had been silent on the side, picked up a crab, snapped off a leg, and casually brought it to her mouth.Seeing her nonchalant demeanor, Edson was taken aback, exclaiming, "Cassie..."Catherine disdainfully glanced at him and retorted, her tone cold and sharp, "Stay out of my business if you don't understand me. Shut up and mind your meal."She casually placed a crab on Branden's plate in front of him. "Crack open it for me."Branden said nothing, gladly taking the crab and expertly extracting the meat.Edson, puzzled and angered, questioned Branden. "She's allergic, and you're crack
When Edson woke up, he was almost scared to death. He had been tied up on the bed by someone, and the person tying the ropes was obviously very professional. No matter how hard Edson struggled, he couldn't break free from the restraints.What was even more terrifying was the group of grotesque figures around him, greedily sticking out their tongues. Seeing this, Edson almost vomited on the spot. At the critical moment, his men arrived in time and rescued him. Although Edson was saved, he had also suffered a lot of torture. The group of grotesque figures had stripped him of his clothes. He had many bruises on his body.· Sitting in the car, now safe, Edson couldn't help but explode with rage. He kicked the back of the front seat and angrily shouted, "Find out who did this. When we catch the culprit, I'm going to kill him." His subordinate sitting in the front seat responded meekly, "Boss, the surveillance in the parking lot has been tampered with, and we can't find any clues."
The convention officially began, and Catherine sat on the left of Marshall, with a representative from Ellinos Academy sitting on his right. This university ranked far above Styre University in the world. Unfortunately, their research and development in this experimental project were far behind that of Styre University's laboratory. The Ellinos Academy representatives were very dissatisfied with this.Seeing Marshall bringing a student here, the representative of Ellinos Academy, Atticus Sterling, sarcastically remarked, "It looks like Styre University's research has made breakthrough progress, huh?"This sudden remark attracted everyone's attention. No one knew what was going on with Atticus. Curiously, someone asked him, "Mr. Sterling, have you received some secret information?"Atticus sneered. "No, but it's just obvious, isn't it? Look, Professor Hartley is bringing his student to this convention, allowing a freshman to communicate with us. If there hadn't been significant ach
The people who came to the scene were all authoritative figures in the academic field. After Catherine had finished expressing her views, she handed over the floor to others.With someone as influential as Catherine setting a good example, the convention went very smoothly. During the two-hour convention, Catherine, apart from listening to their discussion for a little while at the beginning, played games on her phone the whole time without any restraint. Although she behaved so casually. However, not a single person dared to complain. With her formidable abilities, who would dare to speak against her?After the convention ended, Catherine stood up, ready to leave, but someone stopped her. She lowered her eyes and looked at the person with a faint gaze. "What's the matter?"Atticus rubbed his hands, looking a bit embarrassed. It was evident that he was indeed nervous. "Miss Swann, I really admire your talent and your research in the professional field..."Catherine didn't have ti
Catherine lay bored next to Branden, playing with her phone. Suddenly, a buzzing sound caught her attention, and she looked up to see Branden answering the phone that was ringing next to him.Catherine was close enough to hear the voice on the other end of the phone. It was Aidan. "Mr. Duncan, where are you? Let's have dinner together!"Branden glanced down at Catherine, who was comfortably resting on his lap. He heard her lazily reply, "I don't want to go out to eat."Just as Branden was about to refuse, Aidan heard Catherine's voice and immediately said, "Let's have dinner at home. I'll cook. I'm really good at it. Catherine, long time no see. Let's eat together!" His tone was urgent as if he was afraid that Catherine and the others had forgotten him. Catherine felt it was a good idea and didn't hesitate to give instructions. "Tell him we'll meet at the supermarket!"She would like to choose the dishes if they were going to have dinner. Without Branden needing to relay the me
Aidan was indeed good at cooking. The Lanes had moved overseas many years ago. Despite Aidan's usual carefree appearance, resembling a playboy, he was patriotic. Most importantly, he had a strong love for Eskanese cuisine. To preserve the authenticity of his taste buds, Aidan had sought out many chefs to learn how to cook.What started as a fun activity became his proficiency, and his culinary skills were now ready to be showcased. Aidan was busy cooking while Branden emerged from the kitchen after cutting the fruit.Catherine was playing games with Triston. Totally different from Catherine, who remained calm, Triston was visibly excited, veins bulging on his neck. When Catherine scored a direct hit on the opponent in the game, Triston cheered, "Wow, Cassie, that was awesome! Now, those wimps on the other side won't be able to act tough! You beat the shit out of them! Anyway, I'll use a frying pan to knock them out."Seeing their excitement, Branden sat down next to Catherine an
Aidan was indeed a good cook. Most importantly, he knew how to cater to Catherine's appetite. The four of them polished off all six dishes.Aidan watched Catherine put down her fork and prop up her chin, looking at her expectantly."Catherine, tell me, how's my cooking? Is it much better than Mr. Duncan's?"Just as he had said earlier, he might not be able to compete with Branden in other ways, but he was confident he wouldn't lose in terms of cooking.Just as Aidan thought he would hear praise, Catherine calmly said, "I like Branden's cooking!"Branden quietly leaned back in his chair, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He knew that she liked everything he cooked.Aidan immediately retorted. "How is that possible? Can Mr. Duncan's cooking be better than mine?"Triston, who was listening on the side, rolled his eyes and pushed Aidan."Aidan, have you been single for too long, so you're going dumb? What you're cooking with is your skills, so you're just a skilled cook. What Mr.
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
