Ronin had a hearty meal before remembering the reason he had gone to talk to Catherine. Benefiting from Catherine and enjoying a meal prepared by Branden, Ronin felt it was worth it. "Catherine, I haven't discussed the matter with you yet." Catherine, nearly done with her meal, put down her fork, leaned back comfortably in her chair, and gazed at Ronin. "It's not too late to talk now." "Catherine, the Breens' people have contacted the head of the Skybow Group. They want the Skybow Group to invest and collaborate in dealing with the Duncan Corporation." After Ronin finished speaking, even he couldn't help but laugh. It was hard to decide whether the Breens were becoming more foolish or that they were truly powerful. The big boss behind Skybow Group was none other than Catherine herself. Letting Catherine provide funds to the Breens to deal with Branden was indeed a joke. Hearing this news, Catherine wasn't surprised. Her cooperation with Skybow Group had always been kept sec
Catherine did not embrace Amelia's good intentions. This approach was too foolish. If she could find the thought process online, so could any other student. Getting caught would be the real humiliation, and Catherine would become the laughingstock. As long as Catherine didn't want to, no one could force her to do anything. It was not that she disrespected the teacher by not coming up to solve the problem; it was just that even if she did, this teacher already held a grudge against her and would not let her go. The classmates, sensing the tense atmosphere in the classroom, couldn't help but discuss in hushed tones. "I heard that this teacher went to the principal. She strongly insisted that if Catherine doesn't attend class, even if the school doesn't expel her, she will give Catherine a failing grade for the final exams, ensuring she never graduates." "So, it's all because of the fear of expulsion. I thought Catherine was so amazing, but it seems not." "The weak cannot ov
Catherine halted, turning around to see the teacher hastily approaching her. The teacher held out her tablet to Catherine, a smile on her face. "Catherine, I've got two problems here. What's your email? I'll send them to you. Take a look and see if you can figure them out." Catherine didn't even take the tablet and glanced at the screen. Then, she asked Amelia beside her, "Do you have a pen?" Amelia quickly pulled out her idol's cherished pen and notebook. She was usually reluctant to touch them but handed them over to Catherine without hesitation. "Super Catherine, feel free to use them." "Thank you," Catherine said politely. After taking the notebook and pen, she began answering on it. The teacher, standing by, was completely dumbfounded. She had only intended for Catherine to think about the solution steps when she had some free time later. If Catherine could solve them, they could discuss them together. Little did she know, Catherine started writing immediately. She was
Catherine came out of the classroom and returned to the dormitory, lying on the bed playing games out of boredom. She thought Branden would be busy with work today and wouldn't have time to find her. However, just as she lay down, she received a message from him. [Did you go to school today?] Her slender fingers quickly tapped on the phone screen, and she promptly replied: [Just finished class and got back to the dorm.] Shortly after sending the message, Catherine received Branden's reply. She closed the game she had just opened, jumped off the bed, took her coat, and pulled a duckbill hat down over her head. The entire sequence of actions was smooth and impressive, exuding a handsome demeanor. Amelia, who was watching beside her, was stunned and only reacted when Catherine was about to leave. "Super Catherine, are you going out?" asked Amelia. "Yeah," Catherine grunted and raised an eyebrow at her. "Anything you need?" Amelia quickly waved her hands, afraid of delaying
Recently, the business world in Loxton has been tumultuous, mysterious, and unpredictable. The Breens' representative in Eskana, Edson, had joined forces with several major families to besiege the Duncan Corporation, aiming to destroy it completely. Everyone was speculating on how long the Duncan Corporation could resist in the face of the fierce attack from powerful external capital. The Breens even arrogantly declared that they would destroy the Duncan Corporation within three days. The reason they dared to make such bold statements was that they had the capital to back it up. After all, unethical actions like this were not new for the Breens. As a formidable top-tier capital force, the Breens were infamous overseas, showcasing the sinister nature of capitalists to the fullest. Unfortunately, even the usually unbeatable Breens seemed to be facing a Waterloo this time. They had been besieging the Duncan Corporation for two days straight, with no successful attacks and a si
The assistant rushed into the quiet study, holding the latest intelligence. Since Edson was abducted and humiliated, the once flamboyant playboy seemed to have planted the seeds of shadow. During this time, he hadn't been seen enjoying himself. Finding him became increasingly easy; they just had to enter the study. Edson was reviewing documents, and his eyebrows furrowed when he saw the assistant hurriedly enter. Seeing the situation, the assistant quickly knelt, cautiously saying, "Boss, I have the latest information to report." Edson suppressed his anger; he knew the assistant wouldn't act so recklessly unless there were an urgent situation. "What's the situation?" His deep voice carried a thick sense of dissatisfaction. The assistant lowered his head and said cautiously, "Boss, we've just received the news. The Lamberts and the Lanes are mobilizing a large amount of funds. Moreover, we found out that it was Triston and Aidan who issued the order." "Good," Edson repli
Triston and Aidan, upon learning that their efforts to mobilize funds had been intercepted, tried everything but didn't achieve much. They hadn't expected the Breens to infiltrate so thoroughly, completely cutting off their retreat and leaving them with no chance to prepare. After receiving the news, Branden comforted them, telling them not to worry. This only deepened their sense of guilt. They had hoped for a chance to help Branden, but now their once-prosperous family seemed so vulnerable. Soon, news circulated within their circle that the Lamberts and the Lanes were facing financial problems, unable to support the Duncans. That afternoon, the rising stock prices of the Duncan Corporation plummeted, significantly affecting its business. Rumors spread that this time, the Duncan Corporation was against the notorious Breens, destined for failure. Edson sat in front of his computer, watching the brilliant scene he had set up. A satisfied expression appeared on his chiseled
Edson watched as Catherine turned and approached him step by step, a confident smile on his face. He had already assumed a stance, ready to face Catherine. "Cassie..." Just as he uttered the first word of the next sentence, Catherine acted with lightning speed. She threw a punch, landing it squarely on Edson's jaw. The force was too strong, causing Edson to tilt backward. Catherine followed up with another punch to Edson's abdomen, then delivered a fierce kick. Edson fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, completely unable to get up. After dealing with him, Catherine brushed off the dust from her hands, wearing a disdainful expression as she prepared to leave. She had warned others not to bother her, yet some people just didn't learn. As she turned around, Catherine saw Branden standing not far away. She stopped in her tracks, standing still and watching Branden approach step by step. Branden reached Catherine, took her hand, and gently held it in his. "Goin
