Catelyn helped the old man to his seat before looking at the blonde woman with a firm smile. "This person here is a man older than all three of you combined. Would you force them to give you his seat?"The blonde woman's face immediately flushed red at this. She then dragged her two children and left."No, don't go! I want to watch the show!"One of the blonde woman's sons sat on the floor, refusing to leave."Shut up! I'll smack you if you don't listen to me," hissed the blonde woman. She covered the little boy's mouth and forcibly carried him away. The boy struggled so vehemently that he even dropped one of his shoes amid his squirming.Catelyn, meanwhile, was in a good mood. Having been in Franche for so long, she had encountered various kinds of discrimination, and it felt undeniably good to stand her ground aggressively for once!George looked at Catelyn's smile, and his heart fluttered at the sight. He hurriedly looked away, his ears tingling with heat.Catelyn greeted Geo
'Here Comes the Storm' was one of Deesneyland's featured stage performances.Starring Captain Jacks, he performed fantastic stunts and cool fights. Coupled with a unique stage prop set, he led the crew to repel the Inglish Royal Navy in the waves.Both Ollie and Miles watched the play with amazement."Wow! That was awesome!" Miles' eyes widened as he clapped excitedly.After that, George and Catelyn brought the boys to watch the fireworks show again.Under the dazzling fireworks, George secretly glanced at the fair-skinned Catelyn. Her long hair loosely cascaded down her shoulders, her complexion crystal clear, and there seemed to be a rosy glow behind her, which was indescribably bright and moving.After coming out of Deesneyland, George invited them to dinner and offered to drive them back.Noticing how worn out the boys were after all the activities they had, Catelyn did not refuse him.Before leaving, George, with a heavy heart, escorted them to the corridor of the apartmen
Catelyn felt the back of her neck stinging in pain, and in just a second, her eyelids drooped as she lost consciousness.…Somewhere in the middle of the countryside of Franche, in what seemed to be an ancient-looking castle, surrounded by lush trees.Catelyn woke up and saw nothing but darkness all around her. She could feel the tingling pain in the back of her neck the moment she regained consciousness.She could not even see her fingers when she stretched out her hand. The window was shut tight, and there was no source of light around her. She barely felt that she was lying on the bed.Where was this place? Why was she here?"Hello?!" Catelyn shouted.No response.Catelyn was terrified. After all, she was in a different country, and foreigners like her would be of least importance in any police investigation.Catelyn tried to find her phone, but her pockets were empty.She clutched the sheet under her tightly. Suddenly, she heard a contemptuous humming from a certain direc
Catelyn stared at her bed, and it took her a while before she regained her senses.Once she did, she took the cellphone by the bed and turned off the alarm.At that moment, the breeze blew into her room and made Catelyn's skin tingle, despite wearing her pajamas. She was so cold that she had goosebumps all over her body.What happened?She remembered how she got dragged into a dark room and was violated by a man. Yet, there she was: awake and still in her apartment.Was it all a dream?Catelyn removed the blanket from her form and ran to the bathroom quickly. She then unbuttoned her pajamas and looked at herself in the mirror.Her fair skin was delicate and smooth as usual, without a single hickey spotted.There was no hot, tingling feeling in her lower regions, yet her knees felt strangely sore. It was probably from all the exhaustion from taking the boys to the amusement park the day before, though.It was a dream, after all—a whole strange dream.Catelyn wiped off the bead
After all, Catelyn could never be too sure that the assaulter installed a hidden camera somewhere in her house.Halfway through the inspection, Catelyn paused for a moment of thought.No. Since this man could bring her back to her apartment stealthily, he probably had access to her locks and keys already.Catelyn planned to move away.Without hesitation, she used the 450,000 dollars given to her by David to rent another place in a more advanced, secure community.There were six guards here who provided heavy security, so the pervert would never have a chance to break in again!Catelyn had thought about calling the police, but since she had two boys with her, she did not want them to be involved in this.In the end, she swallowed her pride and decided to forget about the pervert, which had to be one of the most disgusting decisions she had ever made.…From then onward, Catelyn took strict precautions every day and even bought a lot of self-defense items such as a taser baton a
Only George Graham would be coming, after all.Catelyn heaved a sigh of relief.Mason Group had so many projects every year, and Cedrick would probably not want to attend a foreign business cooperation like this.Sure enough, the manager, Ivan, gave an order that afternoon.Apparently, there was not enough manpower in the early stage of the infrastructure project. All designers needed to write a detailed report to the assistant director, and a few people would be selected from it.Both Jolene and Catelyn wanted to try it out, so they hurried back after lunch and conducted a study to write the report.Finally, before they got off work in the afternoon, the report was handed in."Why are you here?" came the sharp voice of a female from behind Catelyn and Jolene, causing them to turn.It was that blonde woman from Deesneyland. She was also the designer here!'You've gotta be kidding me,' grumbled Catelyn internally.The woman, accompanied by several companions, walked over arrog
"Let me be generous and give you a chance, Amarican lady. If you apologize to me now, I could waive off whatever happened before," taunted Amy condescendingly, even poking Catelyn's chest with her finger. "Otherwise, when the project staff name list is announced this afternoon, I'll get Uncle Ivan to fire you, regardless of the reason!"Catelyn's eyes were glossed with faint traces of tears."Did your mom not teach you that it's rude to point at people? Is this how people from Franch behave?" scoffed Catelyn.Amy's pupils dilated at this remark, yet she quickly regained her smug attitude. "Well, get ready to pack your bags and roll off, then!"Catelyn looked at her, expressionless. "You look certain about that. Let's see, then.""You—!""Move along, don't block my way."…After a few hours, the representative of Mason Group left VSA Company while the director's assistant had decided on the name list of staff for the project.Amy, while she waited for the name list eagerly, als
"Isn't Jolene an Amarican as well? Uncle, please just fulfill my wish. If you decide to keep Catelyn, I'll leave! The decision is yours."This would put the collaboration with Mason Group at stake.Ivan pondered for a short while.Amy went around the working desk and propped one hand against Ivan's chest, drawing circles on his chest with a finger as she whined, "Uncle, please… Just say yes.""Fine, I'll do as you wish," came Ivan's eventual answer, relenting, much to Amy's joy.She would get Catelyn to pack her bags and scram today!However, before her lips could crack into a smile, she saw Ivan shrugging helplessly. "Since you can't work with Catelyn, I guess my only choice is to remove you from the project.""W—What?" Amy's jaw dropped unhinged. "Uncle Ivan, you must've made a mistake! Didn't you intend to fire Catelyn?""I said that this project has to include the Amaricans. Catelyn and Jolene were the only two in our department, and we can't give up the quota to other depa
