Although the opposing hacker team was exceptionally powerful, Hacker Alliance had been able to stand tall in the hacking world for many years, indicating its formidable strength.The opposition came with great hostility, but Ronin dealt with it effortlessly.He initially thought that the Duncans' cyber department was very weak. After all, in his view, the Duncans were good at making money, but they needed professionals like him when it came to technical matters.However, he didn't expect the Duncans' cyber department to be reasonably competent. Ronin organized his team, assigning them specific tasks, and the work proceeded smoothly.The sudden attack left the entire cyber department disoriented, and the Duncan Corporation's technical staff were all confused by the massive onslaught from the hackers.But once Ronin took charge, the situation changed. He seemed familiar with such attacks.In the beginning, the Duncan Corporation's technical staff were chasing and encircling the opp
Shane, upon receiving the news, was so furious that he directly smashed the office.The assistant had been with him for many years, and he witnessed Shane losing his temper so much for the first time.The assistant cautiously handed over freshly ground coffee, patiently advising, "Sir, please calm down."Shane, engulfed in rage, forgot all about gentlemanly behavior. He turned to the assistant with a fierce glare, his wide-opened eyes resembling fiery orbs. "Calm down? Those idiots spent so much money and failed to handle such a trivial matter. How dare they come back to me and ask for more money? Have they gone mad?"To bring down the Duncan Corporation's several branches in Casier, Shane exerted great effort to gather this group of hackers and offered them a substantial task reward.However, these incompetents not only failed to defeat the Duncan Corporation but also got caught in a counterattack, losing even their reward.Now, they demanded compensation. Shane thought they mus
After the discussion, Branden descended from upstairs and walked straight toward the living room. It was clear to everyone that he had come for Catherine.Standing with her back to the stairs, Catherine didn't notice Branden's arrival.Noticing her unawareness, Zobber raised her eyebrows at Catherine in a suggestive manner.Upon realizing Zobber's unusual expression, Catherine turned to look behind her."Is everything resolved?" Branden's previously icy face instantly softened with tenderness and a smile when he saw Catherine's glance. "How about taking a walk outside?"Hearing his suggestion, Catherine furrowed her brows slightly. Since early this morning, there had been a continuous stream of people coming to the old mansion to report to Branden. Given the recent events at the Duncan Corporation and Branden's busy schedule, why would he suddenly propose going out?"Is there something wrong?" Catherine inquired, puzzled.Branden, about to explain with a smile, was interjected b
Branden bought two movie tickets. He had checked online and knew that the most common way young people date nowadays was by watching movies and going shopping.Knowing Catherine's temperament and her dislike for shopping, he bought two tickets for the hottest movie.Looking at the towering movie theater ahead, Catherine turned her head to the handsome man beside her. "Watch a movie?""Yeah." Branden nodded. "Is that okay?"Seeing the bright smile on his face, Catherine didn't object.Whether it was the Duncans' old mansion or the apartment, they both had top-notch home theaters. The equipment, costing up to seven figures, wasn't inferior to those in the movie theaters.Catherine just didn't expect Branden to give up the private space and choose a public cinema.Taking the elevator, they went directly to the fifth-floor cinema. Perhaps due to the holiday, the theater was crowded with people, mostly young.When Branden led Catherine in, it attracted many eyes.Branden, dressed r
Halfway through the movie, Catherine felt a strong urge to doze off.She had no interest in this kind of romantic comedy. Catherine might have fallen asleep long ago if it weren't for two bold girls approaching Branden for his WhatsApp number in the middle.Seeing her drowsy, Branden reached out and rested her head on his shoulder. "Twenty more minutes, then I'll take you back.""Hmm." Catherine made a muffled sound, leaning quietly on Branden's shoulder with closed eyes.The movie was like a lullaby, increasing the desire to fall asleep. In no time, Catherine closed her eyes and drifted off.A few minutes later, as Catherine slept, some girls approached.When Branden noticed someone getting closer, his calm face immediately darkened, and he shot an icy glance straight ahead.Startled, the approaching girl was disoriented. If it weren't for the urging from the people around because she blocked the screen, she might have frozen in place.It was mainly because Branden's aura was
When Catherine woke up the next day, she found herself in a soft, large bed. Looking around at the familiar furniture, she reached out to touch her throbbing head and slowly sat up. This was the Duncans' old mansion, and she had slept in Branden's bed.The wild night left Catherine exhausted. She lifted the covers and slowly moved off the bed. Her legs felt extremely heavy, and as she stood up, a sharp pain shot through her, causing her to curse inwardly.As she cursed, Branden entered the room. "Oh, you're awake?" he asked.Seeing him, Catherine fell back onto the bed, shooting him a resentful look.Sensing her displeasure, Branden smiled apologetically, set down the food he was carrying, and walked straight over to her. He bent down and lifted her, carrying her to the bathroom. "Wash your face. Then let's have breakfast," he said.Catherine tilted her head to look at him, her eyes showing a hint of disdain, her hands unmoving.Branden knew she was angry, so he patiently placate
Upon hearing movement upstairs, Zobber, who had been somewhat bored in the living room, looked up. Then, she saw Branden holding Catherine as they descended the stairs. Catherine's cheeks were rosy, exuding a sweet aura.Zobber couldn't help but tease her, "Catherine, did you two just finish exercising? Indeed, young people are full of energy."Catherine gave a cold smile and looked her up and down. "What? You want to exercise too? Come on. Let's do this."Zobber was puzzled, looking at Catherine in amazement. "Catherine, are you into both men and women?"Without a word, Catherine dashed forward. Zobber couldn't dodge in time and was swiftly thrown over her shoulder.Seeing the two of them fighting, Branden walked over, feeling pleased. Paxton brought him a glass of water, saying, "Boss, have some water, please."Branden took the glass of water and brushed the dust off his shoulder, instructing Paxton, "Arrange for a massage therapist; she needs it." Since Zobber had taken the br
Branden was dealing with business from Bothor when a message popped up on the screen. Because Catherine was playing games in the office, Paxton dared not knock on the door when he had something to report. He could only communicate with Branden through online software. He sent, [Boss, something has happened. You need to take a look at this.]Squinting, Branden opened the message sent by Paxton.Casier Real Estate was a subsidiary of the Duncan Corporation, specializing in the real estate business in Casier. It was considered a leading company in the local real estate industry, known for its good reputation and ethical practices. It had gained significant popularity in Casier and was one of the most profitable subsidiaries under the Duncan Corporation.Just three hours ago, news broke on the internet about an incident at a newly delivered property of Casier Real Estate. During the renovation, a floor collapse resulted in injuries to the workers, causing them to be rushed to the hospit
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
