Early in the morning, Catherine reluctantly woke up in a haze of smoke, feeling groggy and tired.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the man beside her, shirtless and looking like a noble deity from mythology.
On the handsome and delicate face of the man, there lay a cigarette between his thin lips. His slightly raised brow showed a hint
of sadness.
This was the first time Catherine had seen Branden smoke in front of her.
She knew Branden smoked, but in her memory, he had never smoked in front of her, not even letting her catch a whiff of the
smell.
Last night, Branden persistently lingered with her in s*x and finally released her with reluctance until dawn. She was too tired to
say anything, so she just closed her eyes and turned around to fall into a deep sleep.
When he noticed the movement beside him, Branden’s eyes flashed with a panic. His first response was to put out the cigarette
in his hand.
Having no time to find an ashtray, he snuffed out the cigarette butt with his fingers.
“Did I wake you up?”
His deep voice carried a hoarseness, and it was mesmerizing.
“No!” Catherine groaned, raising her arms high in the air and stretching lazily.
She had amazingly fair skin, and she practically glowed when the sunlight shone on her.
The purplish-red marks, set against her immaculate skin, shone even brighter like dazzling roses in full bloom.
After he took a glance, Branden’s eyes were filled with heat.
He was worried that if things continued like this, he wouldn’t be able to hold it anymore.
As Catherine experienced sex for the first time, even with an excellent physical condition, she couldn’t withstand such long sex.
Branden tilted his head and looked away, then turned around and said to Catherine, “I’m gonna get you some food!”

The grey silk quilt slipped off his body as he moved, revealing his strong and robust physique.
He appeared slim with his clothes on, but when he took off his clothes, one might see some sexy muscles.
“The bare upper body, the tanned skin, not a single trace of excess fat on the whole body, a perfect inverted triangle shape, truly
captivating entity. I am not at a loss in sleeping with him.” thought Catherine.
She propped her elbow on the pillow, half-closed her eyes, and admired Branden’s exquisite figure.
Half an hour later, Branden walked into the bedroom carrying the cooked meal.
When Catherine was lazy and not getting out of bed before, Branden would also bring food into the bedroom like this.
However, Catherine wasn’t going to have her meal in the bedroom today. The whole place was filled with this weird smell that
was totally killing her appetite.
Focus was crucial when having delicious food.
Branden would always grant whatever was requested by Catherine.
The food that had been brought over was put back on the table. Catherine sat at the dining table. Considering that she had just
woken up, Branden cooked a relatively bland meal.
He also prepared a glass of rose liqueur for her. Catherine drank quite a bit of alcohol last night, and her voice was hoarse.
This rose liqueur was just perfect. It immediately awakened her soul.
After finishing cooking the oatmeal, Branden placed it at Catherine’s side.
“I heard you agreed to go to Styre University?”
It didn’t surprise Catherine that Branden was aware of her choice.
This was not a secret. She presumed it must have already been spread within the school yesterday.
Branden had always cared about her every move, and it was inevitable that he would know it.
Catherine gave a half-hearted response. “There’s only Styre University to choose from domestically, and that old man Marshall
Hartley doesn’t seem to have a bad temper!”

The nationally renowned expert was notorious for being difficult to deal with. Even some leaders had to be respectful to him.
However, he was a good-natured old man in Catherine’s eyes.
She was probably the only one who dared to say that. Styre University was definitely good domestically, but it was like its name,
mysterious and serious.
Catherine was a carefree and unconstrained person. With so many rules and regulations in this university, Branden worried she
wouldn’t adapt well.
“Hey, how about I help you switch to a different college?” he asked.
“It’s just a small matter of going to college, causing so much trouble and inconvenience. What a hassle!” thought Catherine.
She didn’t even think twice before rejecting Branden’s offer. “No thanks. I’m going to Styre University!”
Branden looked at her with affectionate eyes and a doting expression. “Alright then. We’ll go to Styre University!”
Located in Loxton, Styre University was several hundred miles away from Casier.
Catherine put down her bowl and gave Branden a cold stare.
“Do you want me to stay in Casier?” she asked.
Branden immediately understood what Catherine meant, and of course, he wouldn’t separate from Catherine.
It might be a bit troublesome if Catherine applied to study abroad now.
But if she were to stay in the country, Branden could visit Loxton, where the former residence of the Duncans was located,
without any geographical restrictions.
“If you go to Styre University, then I’ll go to Loxton. If you stay in Casier, then I’ll also be in Casier!”
Catherine could tell that Branden was trying to move his business to Loxton.
She raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyes slowly turning, giving off a hint of flirtatious glances toward Branden.
“You said that the Duncan Corporation’s future development was in Oceanvile, but now it has changed to Loxton?”

In the face of Catherine’s temptation, Branden showed no fear and leaned toward her, saying, “The future of the Duncan
Corporation is wherever you are!”
Initially, he planned to go to Oceanville, but Catherine would be in Loxton for the next few years.
Therefore, the Duncan Corporation would make Loxton its main direction. Moreover, there was that bastard Erick in Oceanvile.
He didn’t want to have someone’s eyes glued to his woman all the time.
After returning to her small apartment, Liana was about to lose it when she saw the cramped space and the pile of takeout boxes
on the table.
She angrily threw her handbag, unable to contain her temper any longer.
“Have you had enough? What’s the difference between you guys and the stinky bugs living in a garbage pile?”
Korbin turned his head and stared at Liana with a stern look. He couldn’t believe that his little daughter would talk to him with
such an attitude one day.
“Are you trying to defy me now, Liana?”
“Back in the day, my dad used to be all high and mighty, but now not only can’t he lift his head because of Catherine’s
oppression, but he’s also left with nothing thanks to Catherine.
“My mom stays at my grandparents’ house all day and doesn’t want to come back,” said Liana inwardly.
With the humiliation she received, Liana couldn’t control her temper anymore.
She shouted angrily at Korbin, “Why don’t you shout at Catherine, huh? If you’re so capable, why did you let all of Grandpa’s
assets end up in the hands of that jinx?”
Korbin had become a complete mess during the past few days. Branden had cut off all his resources.
None of his old friends were willing to help him.
He could only be a bum at home, being a useless loser.
Unexpectedly, he was scolded by his own young daughter. Korbin could no longer control his temper and stood up in anger, eyes
blazing with fury as he looked at Liana.

“You damn girl, you...”
When faced with a home like this, Liana really had no mood at all.
She was not afraid of Korbin at all now. She picked up her bag and turned around to leave.
When she turned around, she didn’t notice Korbin’s difference behind her.
Korbin’s face turned red like a tomato, and he looked super painful. At the very moment when Liana closed the door, Korbin
couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed.
