Flash looked at Ronin with a cold smile on his face, and the killing intent in his heart gradually rose.He stared coldly at Ronin, his gaze as fierce as it could be. "What else do you want?"His eyes were cold, and Ronin's eyes were even colder. "Flash, you can do anything you want to me. Don't put your hands on my teacher. Apologize to him or all bets are off."Ronin's attitude was very resolute. As long as Flash didn't give Winston an apology, there was no way this was going to work.His reaction left Flash a little stunned.Flash didn't realize that Ronin cared so much about Winston.Despite his reluctance, Flash agreed to Ronin's terms so as not to jeopardize the big picture.He turned his gaze to Winston and said sincerely to him, "Winston, I was the one who took offense just now. I'm sorry."Winston did not want Ronin to get into another conflict with Flash, so he took the initiative to go up and persuade Ronin. "Ronin, he apologized. I think he was just too anxious. He
Inside the dark, damp confinement chamber, a body covered in bruises was curled up in a nearby corner, covered in blood."Jangle..." The eerie sound came from the rusty old iron door.The person lying on the floor remained motionless. He was seemingly unaffected by external disturbances until someone said, "It's time for dinner."The familiar voice caused Flash, who was originally lying on the floor, to instantly turn over and get up.The stimulation of the voice made him forget the serious injuries on his body. He turned over and got up too quickly, instantly pulling on his wounds and causing him to sit back in embarrassment."What? Has the previously majestic Flash captain lost the ability to even stand up now?" Ronin's sarcastic words made Flash's wounds painful even more.Since Flash was discovered wanting to steal information, he had been imprisoned in the confinement chamber.To prevent him from escaping, his former group of henchmen had tortured him.What was even more i
"Catherine!" Catherine had just stepped out of the lab building when she heard someone call out to her.Just by the sound of the voice, she knew who it was that was calling out to her.She looked back and saw Rylan standing below the lamppost not far away.The light fell on top of his head, pulling his shadow long.Seeing her stop and turn back, Rylan walked in her direction. "Catherine, tomorrow is the time for the certification of your experiment. Judging from your expression, the experiment should have been successful, right? Why don't we celebrate together?"Catherine looked at him with cold eyes and said softly, "You know quite a lot about my experiment."These words caused Rylan's expression to freeze for a moment. He then reacted and immediately explained, "Catherine, you know me. The reason I asked Mr. Farrell about you was purely because I wanted to learn more about you.""Mr. Farrell?" asked Catherine, raising her eyebrows, with a eerie smile at the end of her eyes as
The morning sunshine shone gently in the room. The beauty sleeping on the bed was awakened by the sunlight.Catherine slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the familiar decorations, she realized that she was now sleeping on the bed in Branden's apartment.She remembered that last night she and Branden had indulged in a night of indulgence within the crystal spherical house until she finally ran out of energy and fell asleep.She didn't remember how Branden brought her back to the apartment from outside and made her sleep peacefully in bed."Are you awake?" Branden's gentle voice came. Catherine looked up and saw Branden standing at the door wearing an apron.Standing against the light, he seemed to be covered in a layer of golden light, shining brightly. "Get up and have some breakfast. I'll take you to school later. Marshall should be up early and waiting for you in the lab. Today is certification day.""Okay." At the mention of Marshall, Catherine smiled a little helplessly.Mar
The scene was a mess. At the certification table, after the president stood up, the judges followed suit.Ultan hastily stopped them as soon as he could and asked them about the situation. "What's going on here?"The president of the certification organization was on good terms with Ultan, the president of Styre University, so he spoke out in front of everyone about what he shouldn't have said. "Mr. Farrell, instead of coming to ask me what's going on, why don't you ask your student what she did?"Hearing this, Ultan's face was unusually gloomy. He looked at the president of the certification organization with a serious expression and said bluntly, "You might as well be straightforward if something is wrong and save us from guessing. If it's really our problem, I will definitely admit our fault."Since the president of the top-tier academy had spoken like this, the president of the certification organization had to tell the truth. "Mr. Farrell, actually, we don't want to hide anyth
Ultan sighed silently and said in a low voice, "I originally thought that Winston was sick. His wife personally asked me for leave for him, but I only realized that something had happened to Winston when I arranged for someone to check. His wife is the only one left in the house."Hearing this, Marshall couldn't sit still. He immediately stood up and stared at Ultan with wide eyes. "Are you saying something happened to Winston?"Ultan nodded silently. "Something should have happened to him. His wife wouldn't say anything. We've been friends for so many years, and I dare not force her. I've arranged for someone to check it out. I hope nothing serious happens."Ultan's face was grave, and the atmosphere of the scene tensed up.Winston's sudden accident must have something to do with the lab.After thinking about these things, Marshall focused his attention on Catherine. "Catherine, what should we do now? Yesterday, when the computers in the lab went black for half an hour for no rea
Finn was ready to take action. Eliminating a traitor in the organization was only a piece of cake for him.Just as he was about to make a move, the man in black suddenly spoke up. "Hold on."Upon the command, Finn immediately stopped his action and followed the order obediently. Although he didn't do anything to Ronin, he didn't understand his boss's order. So, he turned around and asked the man in the black robe, "Sir, Ronin has betrayed us. Why don't you order to kill him?"The man in the black robe spoke slowly, his voice low and icy. "He doesn't have the ability for that."Ronin raised his hand and saluted the man in black, then smiled and complimented, "Sir, you truly live up to your reputation. Impressive!"The man in the black robe ignored Ronin and said to Finn, "Take him away!"After dragging Ronin away, Finn went back to the side of the man in the black robe. "Sir, why do you think Ronin didn't betray us?""He's not that capable!" the man in the black robe responded.
Paxton's words totally shut the other people up.What he said was correct. Ronin was detained for too long.No one could guarantee what would happen during this period.Zobber didn't know what to say. If it was really Ronin who did it, she didn't know if she should blame him or not.After all, he was held hostage by the other party for so long. If Ronin didn't really suffer inhuman treatment, she wouldn't believe that Ronin would betray Catherine.The room was filled with silence, and no one said a word."Ding dong!" The sound of the doorbell ringing caused them to be alert.Paxton took a look at the two and took the initiative to speak. "I'll open the door."The other people exchanged glances and agreed with Paxton's approach.Paxton was originally cautious when opening the door, but when he saw who it was, he instantly dropped his guard and became very respectful. "Sir, Miss Swann, how did you guys get here?"Catherine didn't expect Paxton to show up here. She gave him a on
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
