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
Catherine nodded. "Just happened to pass by. Is he busy?"Knowing it wasn't an urgent matter, Paxton secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Not busy at all, not a bit!"Branden was always busy, except when it came to Catherine."Miss Swann, let me take you to Mr. Duncan's office," Paxton said. Afraid Catherine might grow impatient, he signaled the secretary to inform Branden.Branden was still in a meeting in the conference room. When the secretary entered, his face instantly darkened.The secretary was terrified by this expression. If Paxton hadn't personally instructed her, she probably wouldn't have the courage to speak now. She said, "Mr. Duncan, Miss Swann is here. Paxton has already taken her to your office. He wants you to come over for a moment."Branden closed his computer expressionlessly and then coldly surveyed the room. "Meeting paused." With that, he stood up and left, leaving the executives discussing animatedly.When Branden returned to the office, Catherine had ju
After Catherine woke up, she found the sun almost setting outside.Though the lounge of Branden wasn't spacious, it was incredibly comfortable to sleep in. Catherine got out of bed. As she opened the door, she overheard conversations outside. She cautiously opened the door just a crack and saw several people in a meeting.Branden sat at his desk, with several executives of the Duncan Corporation seated in front of him. They were reporting on their work, while Branden listened quietly, occasionally offering some insights.Catherine couldn't help but appreciate the sight. A man focused on his work was indeed attractive.Paxton noticed that Branden suddenly accelerated the process, skipping through pages that needed analysis. Seeing senior executives sweating over the speed, Paxton couldn't help but feel sorry for them. Even he, who understood Branden the most, found it challenging to keep up. As Paxton was puzzled, he suddenly noticed the crack of the door. He instantly realized the
Seeing Catherine and Branden enter the room, everyone inside breathed a sigh of relief.Marshall chuckled and teased, "I thought someone was coming to nab Winston again."The crowd paused for a moment and then burst into laughter.Winston and his wife stood up and approached Catherine. Then Winston expressed his gratitude to Catherine.Catherine replied, "Professor Warner, it's nothing."Winston looked at her and said sincerely, "Miss Swann, without you this time, I might have suffered a lot."His wife chimed in tearfully, "Yeah. It's all thanks to you, Miss Swann."Winston, like Marshall, held academics dearly. If Catherine didn't save him timely. Winston, with his stubborn nature, might not have survived the ordeal. Therefore, Winston and his wife were deeply grateful to Catherine.Due to Catherine's unique status, they couldn't visit her to thank her. Unexpectedly, she came today.Catherine smiled faintly. "Professor Warner, don't mention it. It's my pleasure."Despite Cat
Ronin carefully helped Catherine out of the car, and the two of them made their way to the dock to board the ship. "Catherine, look at this!"Catherine raised her head to the night sky as Ronin pointed. Numerous winks suddenly appeared. She realized there were rows of drones, creating various shapes through backstage control.Catherine was captivated by the display and took a closer look. When she saw her name, she was surprised. "Ronin, you did this?"Ronin smirked. "Of course not. Catherine, let's get on the ship. There's a surprise waiting for you."With Ronin's assistance, Catherine slowly boarded the massive ship. As soon as she stepped on the deck, she noticed several familiar faces.Zobber, dressed provocatively, waved at her. "Catherine, I'm over here."Catherine glanced at her with a smile. "Weren't you off having fun? Why are you back?"Zobber smiled and winked playfully. "Catherine, there are times I can't miss. Today is one of them."Not only Zobber but also Audrey
