Amelia walked into the lab and saw Catherine standing on the side organizing documents, so she immediately went over to help. "Super Catherine, let me handle these things!"Seeing her eager to do it, Catherine didn't stop her, so she handed Amelia the documents and turned to get water.It was lunchtime now. Only Catherine and Amelia were in the lab.Amelia immediately started chatting with Catherine, "Hey, Super Catherine, I saw Zobber when I came in just now. She seemed a little angry and stomped off. Did you guys have a fight?"Amelia didn't think it was very likely, but when Zobber left, her face was indeed very angry.After hearing what Amelia said, Catherine couldn't help but smile wryly. "That girl is on her period these days. I scolded her a bit, but it's no big deal.""Period? No wonder she's in a bad mood. So am I. Every time I'm on my period, I just want to tear everything within a 30 feet radius to shreds," replied Amelia.Catherine put down her empty cup and said to
The room was dimly lit with only a faint yellow light. Finn didn't understand why his boss liked darkness so much, but he never dared to ask, only obeying orders."Sir, the Hacker Alliance has issued a warrant for Ronin," reported Finn.The man in a black robe looked at the surveillance screen, sneering. The sudden arrival of the Zobber caught them off guard. The new base was destroyed, but it didn't matter; he had anticipated this. After all, he knew just how powerful Catherine was. He had filled the base with cameras, monitoring every corner. Zobber had copied the route of the internal surveillance, but they didn't know about the hidden camera, which was capturing their every move."Where is Ronin?" The deep, chilling voice echoed, making Finn tremble."Sir, Ronin is being held in the detention room. He's calm, not causing a scene or even requesting to have the ban lifted." Finn cautiously responded, fearing the consequences of a misstep. Normally, anyone who had surrendered wo
Branden drove Catherine to the airport. Audrey had been away from Loxton for a while, and Triston, feeling down, returned to Casier. Upon Audrey's return, she immediately contacted Catherine.As Catherine arrived at the airport, Audrey emerged from a special passageway. Despite Audrey being fully disguised with a hat, mask, and sunglasses, Catherine recognized her at once. The long-awaited reunion left Audrey extremely excited, and she immediately embraced Catherine, exclaiming how much she missed her.Observing Audrey's embrace, Branden furrowed his brow. If it weren't for the fact that Audrey was Catherine's sister, he would have had her taken to a psychiatric hospital. Audrey, sensing Branden's intimidating presence, quickly released Catherine, suggesting they leave the crowded airport to talk privately.Instead of immediately returning home, Branden suggested having a meal together and took them to a restaurant. Audrey got out of the car, glanced around, and gave a thumb
Catherine scrutinized the man. Despite his peculiar behavior, his well-made, custom-tailored clothes suggested his affluence. As Catherine observed him, the man smiled warmly and extended his hand. "Hello, Catherine, I'm Audrey's husband, Brian, White."Shocked, Catherine looked at him coldly and furrowed her brow. "Audrey's boyfriend?""Humph" Branden sneered.Branden's sneer made Brian angry. He glared at Branden and said, "What are you laughing at? Did I talk to you?""Hmph!" Branden sneered. "Audrey's husband? Did you give yourself that title? If you're Audrey's boyfriend, why do you need a telescope to spy on her?"Branden's direct remark exposed Brian's secret, making him furious. "This is just temporary. I will soon become Audrey's husband. Just wait and see," Brian retorted firmly.Catherine, feeling hostile towards this sudden self-proclaimed "Audrey's husband," approached Brian with an icy gaze. "I don't care who you are, but if you dare to harass Audrey, I'll teach y
Branden received the news soon. Paxton intercepted the information and immediately reported it to Catherine."Boss, they've contacted Miss Swann," Paxton said."What did they say?" Branden looked at Paxton. Paxton then showed Branden the email screenshot. "Please take a look at this, Boss."Branden coldly remarked, "Quite audacious.""These people want to take away half of Miss Swann's research results with just one research report. Are they too confident?" Paxton was deeply puzzled, unable to understand the current situation. If he were one of them, he wouldn't have been so confident with just a research report. After all, Catherine wasn't someone to be trifled with.Branden smirked after reading. "They have more than just this."Paxton wanted to ask more, but sensing Branden's reluctance, he remained silent."Head to Styre University!" Branden stood up and instructed. Catherine should be finishing up soon. He would go pick her up and then take her to Audrey's apartment....
After listening to Audrey's account, Catherine summed it up with a question. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, you don't like Brian?"Without hesitation, Audrey nodded in affirmation. "Not only that, his behavior has started to disrupt my life. I don't even want to be friends with him anymore."Catherine arched an eyebrow. Then she shifted away from the topic of this troublesome person and moved on to another question. "What about Triston?"Hearing that, Audrey paused for a moment. It had been so long since Audrey left Loxton that she hadn't heard that name in ages. She silently stared at her glass, unsure how to respond to Catherine's inquiry.Silence was the best answer. If Audrey truly didn't care, maybe she would have said something from the beginning. It was precisely because she cared too much that she couldn't bring it up.Seeing through the hidden sadness behind Audrey's facade, Catherine didn't press further. She lightly clinked her glass against Audrey's. "Cheers!"
Ronin opened the door to the confinement room with the key he had obtained from Finn. It was his reward after agreeing to do a favor for the man in the black robe.Once the door opened, Ronin descended slowly. He approached Flash and squatted down in front of him. He lowered his head to scrutinize Flash.Flash was still lying on the ground, his injuries not yet healed. Although spared from death by the man in the black robe, Flash hadn't received any kind treatment.No one knew why Flash was spared, but one thing was certain. Flash wouldn't have a favorable outcome. Those who betrayed the organization never had a good fate."Ronin, I used to envy you. Never thought you'd end up worse off than me," Flash said.Ronin chuckled coldly and stared down at Flash. "Worse off than you? Flash, I'm the one who's free now. What gives a prisoner like you the right to say such things?"Flash scoffed in response, showing no fear despite Ronin standing over him. "Ronin, do you know why I used to
Branden sent, [What do you want?] However, he didn't receive any response.Branden believed that the person sending the photos had a more complex agenda, and they would surely reach out again. It was likely just a tactic to keep Branden on edge and foster various suspicions.Since that was the case, there was no need to bother with the person hiding in the shadows. Branden decided to wait patiently for the next move.Branden turned off his phone and pulled Catherine into his embrace. With her right there in front of him, there was no need to pay attention to those hidden schemers.*****After a restful night, Catherine woke up feeling refreshed.When Catherine entered the living room, Branden didn't even notice her. "What's for breakfast?" she asked.Hearing that, Branden turned around with a frying pan in hand. "You're up so early. Don't you want more sleep?"As she smelled the aroma of bacon emanating from the frying pan, Catherine's appetite was instantly triggered. "I slept
