Catherine led Ronin to the topmost office area.As soon as the door opened, several black-clothed security guards rushed straight out.Catherine glanced at them expressionlessly. She turned back toward Ronin behind her and said in a low voice, "I'll leave them to you!""No problem!" Ronin confidently patted his chest. "Catherine, don't worry. I'll keep up later!"Several black-clothed bodyguards rushed forward and wanted to surround Catherine, but Ronin blocked them before they could reach Catherine.Ronin gave a handsome kick. After kicking down one of the black-clothed bodyguards, he scanned around with an intense look of disdain in his eyes."What are you waiting for? Just come together!"He did not put these people in his eyes at all. He was not worried even if there were ten more security guards.He thought to himself, "Anyone who dares to stop Catherine must die!"Seeing that these bodyguards could not even stop Ronin alone, the higher-ups arranged new helpers. These new
Catherine escaped from the Breens that year on her own. She was also the first person who managed to escape from Shane even after he inherited the Breens.After these few years of biding his time, Shane himself knew that it would be very difficult for him to trap Catherine.If it were in the past, he really couldn't do anything to Catherine.It was different this time. After Shane came to Eskana, he did not directly attack Catherine but investigated all the people and situations around Catherine.He knew the weaknesses of human nature too well. He knew that Catherine's seemingly cold exterior hid a warm heart.If once Catherine was invulnerable, now Catherine was full of weaknesses.Audrey and the Duncans were the people she cared about and her weaknesses.As long as one had weaknesses, one would be easily controlled."Catherine, if everything is as you said, congratulations! And yes, it was me who did it. I accept your challenge."Shane looked at Catherine with a smirk on his
"Mr. Duncan, the Hacker Alliance has replied," Paxton reported to Banden.Hearing what Paxton said, Branden stopped to look up at him, waiting for him to continue.Paxton received the signal from Branden's stare and continued, "The Hacker Alliance replied and made it clear that they wouldn't accept the mission no matter how high the price was unless we agreed to their rules."Aidan happened to be at Branden's office for a business meeting. He knew Branden was seeking cooperation with the Hacker Alliance recently. The surprisingly high price offered by the Duncans had created quite a stir in the black market. Aidan naturally knew about it.He asked Branden, "The Hacker Alliance refused to cooperate with you despite the high price. Had the Duncans ever offended them?" It was said a golden key could open any door. With the money the Duncans offered, they could hire anyone they wanted. But the Hacker Alliance was not swayed, making Aidan deeply doubt they had a history with the Duncans
The news of Ciaran being taken away was blocked by the university. But one person down in the laboratory raised a storm of conjecture. Let alone Ciaran was the most popular one in the lab.People inquired privately, and gossip always found its way to people. The news was leaked, more or less. However, the university had already ordered that discussions on this matter be strictly prohibited. No one dared to mention this accident in public. To avoid this situation, the school collaborated with the Procuratorate to conduct a detailed investigation into the family situation of the laboratory members and students enrolled. Not only did they investigate the backgrounds of the members, students themselves, and their parents, but they even investigated their grandparents to eradicate the occurrence of this situation.When Catherine arrived at the laboratory, most of the members of their group were present. Seeing Catherine walking towards her seat calmly, a nosy senior immediately approached
After taking on the task, Catherine went back to the laboratory. But Ronin insisted on meeting and said they hadn't seen each other for too long and needed a gathering after he knew Zobber met with Catherine. "Catherine, please!" Ronin begged. Ronin tried his best to beg. Catherine thought there was still some time for a meal, so she agreed. Unexpectedly, when Withal learned that Ronin was having a meal with Zobber and, more importantly, Catherine was also there, he rushed over regardless. Three became four.Zobber carefully glanced at Ronin and pursed her lips, laughing and teasing him. "Ronin, you're the star in the Hacker Alliance. It seems that Catherine has given you quite a few tasks recently. Indeed, Catherine is partial to you."Ronin raised his eyebrows and looked disdainfully at Zobber. "Are you jealous?"Ronin thought, 'Catherine did have a preference for me. After all, I am the most capable person in Hacker Alliance. The others, whether they are jealous or not, have to s
The second-floor master bedroom door was tightly closed, and several untouched meals were placed at the entrance. The maid knocked on the door cautiously, signaling the person inside to open it."Do you have a spare key?" Catherine asked.The maid nodded. "Yes, on the first floor. I'll go get it for you."Zobber, who was behind them, heard it and briskly approached. "Catherine, using a spare key is troublesome. Let me handle it."Catherine glanced at her and agreed.Zobber removed a hairpin from her head, and in just three seconds, she opened the door.The maid on the side was left stunned; she didn't even have a chance to fetch the key before the door opened."Get out!" A woman's angry shout came from inside, unmistakably Audrey's voice.Catherine walked in slowly, catching the pillow that smashed into her. "What's going on?"The cold voice brought Audrey back to her senses. She looked up and saw Catherine, instantly flustered. "Kathy, I thought it was Triston. Did you get hu
Catherine left with Zobber and the others. Connie gave Audrey some medicine, and Audrey had already fallen asleep peacefully.She was now in Triston's mansion. Even if the media found out, they would hesitate due to Triston's reputation and not easily enter. Audrey was safest here.Zobber owned a bar in Loxton, satisfying her occasional desire for drinks. "Come on, Catherine, Connie, order whatever you want. It's on me."Connie took the drink menu from Zobber and raised her eyebrows. "Wow, so generous. Then get me ten of your most expensive ones.""No problem!" Zobber was very generous. Just ten drinks wouldn't be too extravagant for her. "Catherine, what about you?" she asked."A cup of hot water," Catherine said.Zobber was shocked, looking at Catherine in disbelief. "Are you sure it's hot water and not the elixir of life?"Catherine didn't respond, but her eyes carried an attitude that brooked no refusal. Understanding her, Zobber called the waiter as instructed.After arran
Catherine didn't lose her temper, but Zobber was getting impatient. She directly slapped Davy in the face, saying, "What are you saying? How dare you lie here? Do you want to die?""Smack!" The loud slap echoed throughout the private room.Davy covered his face and cried in pain. Then he coughed violently, spitting out blood with a white tooth mixed in it.The surrounding people watched this scene coldly. For them, it wasn't entertaining at all.Zobber had already restrained the force of the slap. If she had used full strength, Davy might have already passed out."Here's another chance. If you don't talk, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zobber threatened."Miss, spare me!" Davy knelt on the ground, continuously bowing. "I really didn't lie. Please spare my life."Zobber took out a fruit knife from the side and waved it in her hand. Davy was frightened and seemed on the verge of fainting at any moment.But he remained silent, no matter how Zobber threatened him.Suddenly, C
