The one who had the biggest shock among all at the table was Bryan. Never would he think that he would see Branden here. It turned out that he had not been wrong that day.That car did belong to Branden, which meant that he did know Catherine.Bryan felt stupid for his naive thinking that he had been hallucinating. He had been lying to himself.Catherine looked back and saw Branden, as well as Triston, who was standing beside him.Her beautiful and delicate features scrunched up as she furrowed her brows. A frigid feeling gathered between her brows, but she did not speak. Branden sensed her unhappiness."You are not allowed to drink!" he said slowly. His voice was cold, but there was rare gentleness in his tone.With his words, a strange atmosphere fell over the table.Everyone there knew about Catherine's temper. They also knew she was not the type to take advice from others.Catherine was the type who could hold her ground even and out best many people all by herself.But
It was supposed to be a simple meal of barbecue. However, due to the appearance of Branden and Triston at the venue, the atmosphere at the dinner table became incredibly creepy.Branden did not eat much himself. Occasionally, he would take some food and put it on Catherine's plate. He did this so naturally as if they were an old couple.Triston felt a little jealous. He had known Branden for so many years. However, the latter had never taken the initiative to pour him a glass of wine, let alone take food for him. He felt crushed!Bryan felt very uncomfortable looking at how Branden was showing his attention to Catherine. He felt that Branden was going to cheat his Boss. "Boss, that is the big bad wolf. Do not be cheated," he shouted in his heart frantically. However, the said big bad wolf was his Uncle Branden. He would not dare to challenge Branden, even if he had the guts. And as such, he drank quietly. David saw that Bryan was not in the right mood. The others were not eati
Branden, who was lagging far behind just now, suddenly accelerated and pushed to full throttle.The other motorcycles surrounded him, obstructing his route and not allowing him to move.But no one had expected that he would turn sideways and drive the car to the edge, using the drain to overtake the motorcyclists and forcing his way to the red motorcycle in front.Holy God, he went over the corner by the drain!This method was extremely dangerous. With the slightest misstep, the motorcycle would crash at a fast speed. This man was too bold.Henry, the person riding the red motorcycle, had finally realized that Branden was skilled. He did not dare to take Branden lightly. So he kept accelerating, not wanting to be overtaken. However, it seemed that it was too late.The handsome black and silver Harley-Davidson overtook the red motorcycle effortlessly, leaving only a nice back view for the cyclist after that.Branden stopped the motorcycle at the finish line.Catherine got off th
Catherine's aura was so powerful that Henry was frightened. He even felt that a big knife was slashing toward his leg as soon as Catherine's voice came out.Surrounded by his friends, Henry couldn't show his cowardice. He had to agree even though he was afraid, not to mention that he did not think Catherine could win.His girlfriend was correct. They ran on this road daily, and there was no way this girl could win them.Henry's attitude became arrogant after he had come to a decision."Fine, we will take the gamble? Let's begin!"The other party was ready and waiting for Catherine to make an appearance.Catherine looked at Branden. She reached out and grabbed his collar gently, and stared at him coldly."Are you not coming?"Branden was the heir of a wealthy family, so he had no reason to join the gamble of life with her here. Catherine left the choice to him.Branden looked at her with profound interest. He took a step back instantly.At an astonishing speed, one hand crosse
When the car stopped, the door was opened.Henry rushed to the car and respectfully greeted the young man who took the lead. "Mr. Guzman, what brings you and the other misters here?"The young man was wearing a pinstriped suit with black suit pants. His hair was light yellow, and he looked fancy.Henry was indeed overbearing, but he could only behave obediently in front of this young man.But Mr. Guzman ignored Henry's paying court to him. He looked at Henry in dislike and said with dissatisfaction, "Piss off! Don't get in my way to see the true big shot here."With that, the young man shoved Henry away and led the others to Catherine.The dozen young men who came were more powerful and wealthier than Henry. The leader, Keith Guzman, had the most influential family among them in the underworld.It could be said that Keith was the future leader of the underworld.No one dared to offend Keith.He had the power to be bossy there.However, such a bossy person changed his look in
Catherine's look remained dark all the way from the busy street to the Swanns's residence.On ordinary occasions, Catherine was aloof, but now, she looked gloomy.Branden guessed she was angry, but he could not understand why she would be like that.In the nick of time, Branden received Paxton's message. He took a look, and a faint smile crept across his face. He thought, "Catherine is not totally cold and heartless."He gave his phone to Catherine, and his voice rang out, "Come on, have a look."Catherine got down from the motorcycle and saw Branden handing over the phone. She took it, tapped on the screen, and glanced at the information Paxton sent.A cold light flashed across her eyes, and the aura on her was even more frightening."What are you going to do?" asked Branden.Catherine did not reply to that question. She handed the phone to Branden and demanded, "Send me everything about him.""Sure," Branden promised briskly and found the QR Code on his WhatsApp and showed C
Just as Catherine walked out of the school, she felt vibrations from her trouser pocket. She pulled out her phone to check. It was Audrey calling.When Catherine pressed the answer button, she heard Audrey's excited voice, "Kathy! Is the school over? I'll pick you up! Let's go shopping, shall we?"Audrey's voice was so penetrating that Catherine had to put the phone away from her ear.Catherine scowled, wondering why Audrey had to be so dramatic like Ronin.Her high-pitched voice was hurting Catherine's ears.Catherine never liked going shopping, nor had she ever gone shopping. If she had the time for shopping, she preferred sleeping at home.She was about to reject Audrey and end the call when the scene she saw last night suddenly occurred to her. Her rejection changed, and she said, "Send me the address."After hanging up, Catherine got the message from Audrey.The address was a shopping mall nearby. Catherine glanced at it, and the corners of her lips slightly curved into a
The service assistant left to get one of the new dresses. When she brought it out, Audrey liked it at the first sight of it.It was a simple one-piece white dress, but it was well-designed and slim in cut, matching Catherine to a tee.Audrey was delighted, thinking that Catherine must look gorgeous in that dress. She was about to ask the service assistant to take it down for Catherine to try when she heard a slightly shrill and faking sweet voice from behind."Mommy, this one seems nice."If it weren't for the fact that the voice was harsh on the ears, Catherine would not have turned her head to look at the speaker.The woman who spoke was in a pink dress with the brand logo printed all over it. It seemed as if she was afraid that other people would not know that she was wearing a mega brand.The woman had a relatively fine face shape but was wearing heavy makeup. One could tell that she had spent a lot on cosmetic surgery.Catherine looked at her from head to toe before closing
