Chapter 203


    After Catherine left the ssroom, her phone rang once again. It was an unfamiliar number. But it had


    special symbols, which was rare. With one nce, she instantly recognized the caller.


    She casually pressed the answer button and held the phone to her ear. From the noise on the other


    end, it seemed that the caller was extremely cautious and even surprised that the call was answered.


    “Wow. The call went through. Is it Sugar?”


    As Catherine spoke, her voice had changed. It was deep and husky, like a man’s smoky voice. No one


    would believe that this voice belonged to such a charming youngdy.


    “Speak!”


    Catherine replied with a single word in a tone filled with a powerful presence. On the other end, the


    caller’s voice sounded excited but he managed to restrain himself.


    “Sugar, the ck market is offering 100 million dors for your expertise, and a few of the top hackers


    will work with you.”


    “Who?” Catherine asked sinctly. The caller replied, “Sugar, it was an anonymous order.” Catherine


    frowned. Her eyes were cold and terrifyingly chilling. “Don’t they know my rules?”


    Even though they were on the phone, the person on the other end of the line was so scared. He


    realized that the rumors were true. Sugar was indeed a fearsome figure.


    ording to the rumors, this mysterious top-tier hacker, Sugar, was exceptionally skilled, ruthless, and


    utterly cold-blooded. If someone dared to cross Sugar, he would get into big trouble.


    “But, they…”


    Before he could finish, Catherine cut him off abruptly. She said, “If there is a next time, I’ll make you


    disappear from this world.”


    With her assertive words, she promptly hung up the phone. After the conversation, Catherine felt


    somewhat agitated.


    She had her own rules when it came to her business dealings. Making money was fine, but the money


    had to from a clean source. Regardless of who they are, they had to identify themselves first.


    Catherine does not ept anonymous orders. Anyone who dared to break her rules was courting their


    demise. After she put her phone away, she turned and saw Ronin walking straight toward her. Bryan


    walked steadily behind Ronin. He moved with a calm and unhurried pace.


    Bryan had grown up in the Duncans’ and was practically raised by Karl himself. There was a hint of


    Branden’sposure in him.


    Compared to Ronin, who was a yful youngd, Bryan was much more mature,Catherine gave them


    a cold look, which scared Ronin. He realized he had forgotten about it again.


    Every time Bryan teased him, he couldn’t help but lose his temper. Despite knowing that Catherine


    despised disturbances, Ronin couldn’t help himself. As such, he could onlye over to apologize


    sincerely. He said, “Boss, we were wrong. We won’t make a fuss again.”


    Catherine didn’t trust him at all. Ronin had always kept his promises to her in the past. But since he


    encountered Bryan, he couldn’t control himself.


    Ronin nced at Catherine’s expression before lowering his head in guilt. Compared to Ronin, Bryan


    was much more straightforward. He said to Catherine, “Boss, we’ve gone through this piece. It feels


    perfect for our duo. I think I’ll be able to master it quickly. How about we find a time to rehearse it?


    Catherine had tailored this piece of music for these two and Catherine made special adjustments to


    Bryan’s part. While Bryan could ensure pitch uracy, he sometimes struggled with maintaining a


    sense of rhythm.


    Therefore, Catherine made adjustments specifically for him, which made him feel that the song


    perfectly suited him.


    “There’s no rush for it. You guys should practice for another night, and we’ll schedule a full dress


    rehearsal tomorrow.”


    Upon hearing Catherine’s answer, Bryan didn’t press further. He understood that once Catherine made


    a decision, it wouldn’t change.


    Moreover, one of Catherine’s remarkable qualities was her ability to see the big picture. Although some


    of her decisions seemed bizarre at first nce, they ultimately prove that Catherine had been right all


    along. Therefore, Bryan simply followed Catherine’s orders obediently. Nothing would go wrong.


    However, Ronin sensed another meaning behind this. “Boss, do have ns for tonight?” you Ronin had


    been by Catherine’s side from a young age, and no one understood her better than he did.


    Catherine nodded and turned to look at Ronin. “I promised Audrey to pick her up tonight.”


    “Alright.”


    After hearing that, Ronin responded reluctantly. He was starting to envy Audrey. In the past, Catherine


    favored him solely. But now Catherine favored her older sister, another man, and even Bryan. Ronin


    was quite upset about it.

    Catherine had had enough of the wind. on the rooftop and felt cold. At that moment, she suddenly


    remembered a certain man’s repeated advice. He said, “Girls shouldn’t expose themselves to the cold.


    It’s not good for health.”


    With a single hand to support herself, Catherine gracefully leaped down from the high tform and


    strode away. Ronin realized something and muttered, “Did Boss just smile?”


    Bryan looked at him with disdain and wanted to retort. However, Bryan remembered that Catherine


    didn’t like them arguing, so he held his tongue. He gave Ronin a disdainful look and followed


    Catherine.


    After school, Catherine rode her motorcycle to Audrey’s filming location. Audrey had beenining


    all evening since they hadn’t been able to go out for a barbecuest night.


    Catherine promised to pick her up tonight and apany her to have a barbecue. As soon as she


    parked her motorcycle, Catherine felt eyes on her from behind. She had intended to enter the building,


    but she shifted her body and walked toward a nearby alley.


    Her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness, casual yet domineering. Once inside the alley, Catherine


    went straight to the darkest corner. In the next moment, a gust of wind swept by. Catherine remained


    calm. She even didn’t blink.


    If it was any other ordinary person, he might have screamed and fled long ago. A tall figurepletely


    obscured Catherine and radiated a menacing aura.


    The next second, the tall figure suddenly knelt on one knee and lowered his head. He knelt before


    Catherine in an extremely submissive manner.


    “Boss, there’s something I need to report to you.”


    “Speak!” Catherine spoke up coldly.Joseph dared to speak only after receiving the permission to do so.


    He continued, “Boss, Miss Audrey was harassed today. I’ve identified the harasser. He’s the son of an


    investor in this drama. He hade to visit his girlfriend before he ran into Miss Audrey by ident.


    He was promptly stopped by Miss Swann’s agent but I think he won’t let this matter go.”


    Although Joseph betrayed the organization, Catherine didn’t punish him as she felt that his actions


    were for a good reason. However, there were rules within the organization.


    Catherine could spare Joseph’s life. However, Joseph couldn’t return to the organization. It was the


    rules that everyone in the organization must adhere to.


    Joseph appreciated the leniency Catherine showed and requested to stay by her side to work. Then


    Catherine assigned him to Audrey’s side to protect Audrey.


    Audrey was in the entertainment industry. This industry was extremelyplex, with many dangers


    lurking. Catherine couldn’t always be there to watch over Audrey, so she arranged for Joseph to take


    care of Audrey.


    Under normal circumstances, Joseph wouldn’t appear unless there was a threat to Audrey’s life.
