Rylan rushed to the hospital as soon as he heard the news.Everyone was there. Seeing him appear, Ronin immediately stood up. "Hey, Rylan. What brings you here?"Rylan grabbed his hand anxiously. "Ronin, how is Catherine?"At the mention of Catherine, Ronin instantly became uneasy. He was furious. He wanted to kill everyone who hurt Catherine. "It was all Selene's fault. If it weren't for her hurting Catherine, Catherine wouldn't be like this now. She's still in the operating room."After hearing about Catherine's recent situation, Rylan's face immediately turned a bit pale, and his footsteps were a bit unsteady. "She's still undergoing surgery?"Ronin shook his head, his eyes turning red. "It's been over three hours already."Rylan tightly grabbed Ronin's hand and asked, "Do you know why Selene repeatedly targets Catherine?""It's because of Branden. Selene is jealous that Catherine is too excellent. She has always had a crush on Branden and she thought she could get Branden if
Although the villa was filled with people, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet at this moment.Black Robe slowly unbuttoned his robe and took off his voice changer, revealing his true face.Black Robe was Rylan, the mastermind who had been hiding behind the scenes.Rylan looked up at Catherine with a cold expression of doubt. "Catherine, when did you find out my true identity?"He wanted to know the truth, but Zobber became impatient and wanted Catherine to end it as soon as possible.But Catherine didn't end it quickly. Considering they were once friends, Catherine gave Rylan the answer. "From the day you came back home to me."Rylan was still thinking about when he revealed a flaw that made Catherine discover it, but he never expected that he had already been exposed in front of Catherine from the very beginning.Catherine never believed in any coincidences. She secretly investigated Rylan's situation abroad and kept her eye on him. She kept investigating and ultimately c
Rylan surrendered voluntarily, saving Catherine a lot of trouble.Since this was a big issue, there was a special department to coordinate with Catherine, and even the security service came.Rylan requested to speak to Catherine before being taken away, and Catherine agreed.Seeing Rylan standing in front of her, Catherine was somewhat emotional. They used to be very good friends. She didn't expect that one day she would personally send him to prison.Narrowing her eyes slightly, there wasn't much emotion on her face, but Rylan seemed to understand her expression.She spoke slowly, her voice cold and deep. "Why?"Rylan glanced at her and then looked up at the sky. It might be difficult for him to have the opportunity to see the sky again in the future.It was a long time before he gave his answer. "If it wasn't me, it would have been someone else."Catherine froze. She didn't say anything after that.If it hadn't been him to do this, it could have been someone else, and that
Branden recovered quickly.He only took a small amount of poison and it did not cause much damage to his body. And with Thomas's full treatment, his condition was now quite good.Thomas not only saved Branden, but he even saved the baby in Catherine's belly.Catherine thought she could finally be happier in the days ahead, but to her surprise, Thomas ordered her to stay in bed for a month. "Cassie, you are in a special situation. It was a fluke that you were able to get out of danger so easily this time. You behave yourself next and rest at home for a month."When Catherine was just about to retort, Karl came in.The elder, who was usually majestic in all aspects, had a hunched back today with tears in his eyes. "Catherine, can you do me a favor?"Seeing his appearance, Catherine couldn't refuse him. "Mr. Karl, just tell me. I'll help you.""I'm getting old, and all I want is everyone in my family is healthy. I may not have many days left. I just hope you can rest for a month fo
Catherine thought that everyone was just joking about supervising her to rest at home, but she didn't expect them to be very serious about it.Ronin and the others were more diligent in supervising her to rest properly than in completing the tasks they had taken on.After breakfast, Catherine had thought of going to the lab for a walk but was stopped by Karl. "Catherine, why don't you stay home today? Branden will be back later. I asked him to come back and take a walk with you."Catherine smiled helplessly. Branden was at least the president of a listed group, but in Karl's eyes, he was just like a tool who had to go back from time to time to accompany her to take a walk or something else. "Mr. Karl, Branden still has a lot of things to do in the company."In front of Catherine, Karl could be amiable, but he was only amiable in front of Catherine alone.At the mention of Branden, Karl's face immediately darkened a bit. "Hmph, how busy can he be? What can be more important than yo
Catherine came over to Branden in a rage, staring at him with cold eyes. "Who tipped you off? Are you here to take me back into resting, too?"Having not seen Catherine's cold face for a long time, Branden was a bit surprised.He reached out and gently touched the bridge of Catherine's nose with his fingers. "Who told you that I'm here to take you back? Can't I take you out to play?"His doting voice made Catherine instantly light up.Still a little suspicious in her mind, she surveyed Branden with cold eyes. "You're really going to take me out to play?"Branden looked at her with deliberate seriousness and said cooperatively, "Never break a promise."Catherine was pleased. A smile crossed her cold face. "Then we have a deal, if Mr. Karl and the others blame, you take the blame.""Okay, I'll take the blame," Branden said in an unbelievably spoiled manner.With that, Catherine immediately got into the car.Branden didn't lie to Catherine. He brought her to the biggest mall in C
Catherine had never spent such a long time shopping. They wandered from the men's clothing area on the second floor of the mall to the maternal and child products area on the fourth floor.Seeing the wide array of maternal and child products, Catherine was somewhat intrigued."Let's go in and take a look," Branden suggested gently. Catherine hesitated for a while and then walked in.The baby shoes in the store were extremely cute. They were even smaller than palms, but they were irresistible.The shop assistant came forward. After seeing Catherine and Branden's appearances, she froze for a moment and quietly glanced at Catherine's belly.Seeing Catherine's flat belly, the shop assistant guessed that Catherine hadn't been pregnant for too long. She said to Catherine, ''Miss, if you don't know the gender of the baby, we suggest these. This blue color is suitable for both male and female babies. You can take a look."Catherine was immediately attracted by the products introduced by
Catherine was aware that with her current situation, openly meeting Rylan would likely be met with resistance. She decided to keep it a secret from everyone.She went alone to the heavily guarded prison to meet Rylan. The circumstances surrounding Rylan were quite serious, and he was kept in solitary confinement. Without the guidance of the supervisor, Arvid Mckay, it would have been quite challenging for Catherine to see Rylan.Arvid was particularly curious about Catherine. Despite his years of experience and numerous encounters with prisoners, he had never seen someone with such strong mental resilience as Rylan, making it difficult for him to handle.Rylan, who had been in for a while, had only one request. He wanted to see Catherine. He agreed to confess after seeing her. The fact that capturing Rylan was credited to Catherine intrigued Arvid even more. After various arrangements, Catherine was finally brought in.Upon seeing Catherine, Arvid was momentarily stunned, not expec
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
