Catherine raised her eyebrows and waited for Ronin’s next words. Ronin originally had a spirited look, but he instantly drooped
after meeting Catherine’s gaze.
He knew that Catherine was waiting for his next words, but he was terrified in his heart and dared not continue. He asked
trembly, “Boss, are you going to dinner?”
“Uh-huh,” Catherine replied. Ronin couldn’t tell what her mood was at the moment. He continued cautiously, “How about you
take me with you? I have nowhere to have dinner yet!”
His pathetic look would make those who didn’t know the situation think Catherine was abusing her men. As Ronin spoke, he
pulled Bryan’s sleeve, signaling him to say something as well.
It was not that Catherine didn’t notice the interaction between the two. It was just that they were so funny that she didn’t even
know what to say.
Bryan had just tricked Ronin once. He feared Ronin would get angry if he didn’t help him now. Therefore, he still forced himself to
speak despite Bryan’s fear of his uncle’s dominance.
He looked toward his uncle’s car. His uncle’s car today was a luxurious and low-key McLaren. He had an idea instantly and said
cleverly, “Boss, don’t worry. That car can’t accommodate so many people. I’ll take Ronin’s car!”
The most prominent feature of this McLaren was its integrated central control, which meant that only two people could sit in the
back seat.
So Bryan arranged everything and put forward his ideas politely. Ronin secretly gave Bryan a thumbs up. He didn’t expect that
Bryan, a man from a wealthy family, could almost be as cheeky as he was.
The two of them looked pitifully at Catherine with the same gaze. Catherine didn’t make a decision and turned her head to look
at Branden.
Branden glanced coldly at the two of them. He didn’t know that these two boys were addicted to following Catherine. Since they
liked to follow Catherine, he would just let them.
“Okay!”
After finishing speaking generously, he opened.the car door and led Catherine into the car.
As soon as the two of them got into the car, Bryan and Ronin, who were standing at the window, heard the ” snap” sound of the
central locking system.
The car was locked, blocking Bryan and Ronin outside. With a faint glance, Branden looked at Bryan and Ronin outside the car
window. He curled his thin lips gently into a smile, which looked very sinister.
Paxton had been with Branden for many years and understood him the most. The high-performance McLaren was driven away
with just one step on the accelerator. Ronin and Bryan breathed in a lot of exhaust fumes, and their faces twisted with anger.
Seeing Bryan standing still without moving, Ronin said disgustedly, ” Alright, stop looking at it. They’ve already gone. Hurry up
and get in the car to catch up!”
Catherine leaned back lazily on the back seat of the car. Watching the childish actions of the three men, she couldn’t help but
want to laugh.
The place where Triston hosted the banquet was the Charm Bar, which was also the largest entertainment venue in the entire
Casier. Watching the vast group of people come in, Triston grinned happily.
Glancing around, he realized that all these people were related to Catherine. It went without saying who they had come for.
“Catherine, thank you for coming. You brought so many people here. I like it.
The more the merrier!”
Facing Triston with an oily look, Catherine was filled with disgust. Fortunately, she was used to being cold, and Triston didn’t dare
to be reckless in front of her. With Branden, a big shot protecting her, who dared to make a scene in front of her?
If she were anyone else, Triston would have rushed up and given her a big hug first. Triston suddenly asked, “Everyone else
came, but why didn’t your sister Audrey come?”
Upon hearing Audrey’s name, Catherine’s eyes flashed a hint of strangeness. And then she fixed her gaze on Triston’s face as
she asked, ” 11 She has an event to attend tonight. Why? You’re dying for her to come?”
Triston replied generously, “Yes, of course. The more, the merrier, and Audrey has a good personality. I like being with friends
who get along!”
His attitude was sincere and generous, and he had no guilty look. Upon seeing that, Catherine felt that the reason for the change
in Audrey’s attitude just now could not be attributed to him.
But Triston, who finally returned to his senses after a while, looked at Catherine with a fearful; gaze.
“Catherine, why are you staring at me like that? Could it be...
Before he could finish his words, Catherine said, “You have a pimple on your face!” After saying that, Catherine sidled around
Triston and entered the private room.
Triston had indeed had some insomnia during this time. After staying up late every day recently, he had a small pimple on his
face. He didn’t expect Catherine to notice it..
He couldn’t help but ask himself, “Is it that obvious?”
Ronin followed Catherine into the private room. As he passed by Triston’s side, he ridiculed coldly, “Your pores are huge!”
“What...” Triston became angry. He stopped Bryan, who was walking at the end of the line, and put his arm around his shoulder
threateningly. “Bryan, tell me. Do I look that bad?”
Bryan hated it when Triston spoke to him threateningly just because he was his uncle’s peer.
And what he couldn’t bear the most was when Triston called him “Bryan” in a disgusting tone. Triston refused to change even
after Bryan had asked him many times. He was simply seeking death.
Bryan pushed Triston away with a look of disgust and said nonchalantly, “If you have time, wash your face more often!”
Triston froze instantly!
So, how bad did he look now? So many people had despised him!
Was his skin really hopeless? After entering the private room, Catherine realized that there were quite a few other people in it,
and Aidan was there too.
But she didn’t pay much attention and walked along with Branden to sit at the seats. When he saw Catherine, Aidan was about
to say hello, but his attention was drawn to Bryan behind him.
He turned his head toward Bryan. ”
Hey, yo. Bryan, right? I haven’t seen you in a few years. I can’t even recognize you!”
Bryan frowned tightly, his handsome face turning livid. How could so many of them try to suppress and bully him because of their
seniority?
Aidan, however, kept talking as if he hadn’t noticed that Bryan was already angry. “You were only in elementary school when I
went abroad, right? In the blink of an eye, you are so big now. It’s rare that you’re willing to follow your uncle today.”
He could remember Bryan being very rebellious from a young age. He was always fearless, and only his uncle Branden could
suppress him.
But it was normal. After all, there was no one Branden could not suppress. Bryan glared at Aidan with dissatisfaction and denied
instantly, “I followed Boss here, not my uncle!”
Aidan was deliberately making fun of Bryan, trying to piss him off for fun. He didn’t expect Bryan to give him such an answer and
confuse him. ” Boss?”
His eyes swept over Branden and the group. He didn’t believe Bryan had the guts to challenge Branden, calling him
“Boss” instead of “Uncle.”
Could it be that the “Boss” Bryan referred to was the cute boy on the side with a backpack?
Branden’s expression changed when he heard the way Bryan addressed Catherine. His well-defined and slender fingers rubbed
back and forth at the position of his chin.
He was thinking, “Maybe now is the time. I should find a time for Grandpa to teach Bryan the importance of honor and respect for
the elder and the difference between the elder and the young.”
Bryan didn’t know that his uncle was planning to torture him, and he was still focused on expressing his displeasure toward
Aidan.
