Branden heard Catherine suddenly change her mind, and his bright eyes lifted, staring straight at her. "Because of me?" he asked. Catherine didn't deny it. It was a fact that she returned to Loxton early because of Branden, and there was no need to deny it. Branden received the news in the morning that Edson had launched an attack on the Duncan Corporation. On Paxton's side, everything was proceeding smoothly according to the previous deployment, and he had nothing to worry about. But he was pleased knowing that Catherine was worried for him and had even changed her plans. It indicated a steady rise in his position in Catherine's heart. Branden looked at Catherine in a good mood. "If it's for me, there's really no need. You focus on your matters and don't need to worry on my end." Although the Breens were powerful, Branden didn't regard them highly. If they really moved against the Duncans, even if the Breens put their best foot forward, they might be unable to bring down

Catherine did not embrace Amelia's good intentions. This approach was too foolish. If she could find the thought process online, so could any other student. Getting caught would be the real humiliation, and Catherine would become the laughingstock. As long as Catherine didn't want to, no one could force her to do anything. It was not that she disrespected the teacher by not coming up to solve the problem; it was just that even if she did, this teacher already held a grudge against her and would not let her go. The classmates, sensing the tense atmosphere in the classroom, couldn't help but discuss in hushed tones. "I heard that this teacher went to the principal. She strongly insisted that if Catherine doesn't attend class, even if the school doesn't expel her, she will give Catherine a failing grade for the final exams, ensuring she never graduates." "So, it's all because of the fear of expulsion. I thought Catherine was so amazing, but it seems not." "The weak cannot ov

Catherine came out of the classroom and returned to the dormitory, lying on the bed playing games out of boredom. She thought Branden would be busy with work today and wouldn't have time to find her. However, just as she lay down, she received a message from him. [Did you go to school today?] Her slender fingers quickly tapped on the phone screen, and she promptly replied: [Just finished class and got back to the dorm.] Shortly after sending the message, Catherine received Branden's reply. She closed the game she had just opened, jumped off the bed, took her coat, and pulled a duckbill hat down over her head. The entire sequence of actions was smooth and impressive, exuding a handsome demeanor. Amelia, who was watching beside her, was stunned and only reacted when Catherine was about to leave. "Super Catherine, are you going out?" asked Amelia. "Yeah," Catherine grunted and raised an eyebrow at her. "Anything you need?" Amelia quickly waved her hands, afraid of delaying

The assistant rushed into the quiet study, holding the latest intelligence. Since Edson was abducted and humiliated, the once flamboyant playboy seemed to have planted the seeds of shadow. During this time, he hadn't been seen enjoying himself. Finding him became increasingly easy; they just had to enter the study. Edson was reviewing documents, and his eyebrows furrowed when he saw the assistant hurriedly enter. Seeing the situation, the assistant quickly knelt, cautiously saying, "Boss, I have the latest information to report." Edson suppressed his anger; he knew the assistant wouldn't act so recklessly unless there were an urgent situation. "What's the situation?" His deep voice carried a thick sense of dissatisfaction. The assistant lowered his head and said cautiously, "Boss, we've just received the news. The Lamberts and the Lanes are mobilizing a large amount of funds. Moreover, we found out that it was Triston and Aidan who issued the order." "Good," Edson repli

Edson watched as Catherine turned and approached him step by step, a confident smile on his face. He had already assumed a stance, ready to face Catherine. "Cassie..." Just as he uttered the first word of the next sentence, Catherine acted with lightning speed. She threw a punch, landing it squarely on Edson's jaw. The force was too strong, causing Edson to tilt backward. Catherine followed up with another punch to Edson's abdomen, then delivered a fierce kick. Edson fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, completely unable to get up. After dealing with him, Catherine brushed off the dust from her hands, wearing a disdainful expression as she prepared to leave. She had warned others not to bother her, yet some people just didn't learn. As she turned around, Catherine saw Branden standing not far away. She stopped in her tracks, standing still and watching Branden approach step by step. Branden reached Catherine, took her hand, and gently held it in his. "Goin
