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 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 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

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

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
