Chapter 205


    The barbecue was piping hot and had vibrant colors. Under the relentless heat, the mouthwatering


    aroma filled the air. The enticing scent tickled the senses and whetted appetites. Catherine had a


    refined taste for barbecue, and at that moment, she was indulging in it gracefully.


    Audrey grew up in the Swanns’. She had always known the rules at the dinner table. But today, she


    found herself struggling to control her cravings.


    It had been three months since she had enjoyed a proper meal. Now, in the face of the delicious


    barbecue, she couldn’t resist. Kim noticed Audrey’s voracious appetite and shook his head.


    “Audrey, you’re one of the hottest actresses out there. Can you please be a bit more conscious of your


    image?”


    Audrey waved her hand and replied, 11 Don’t worry. I’m not famous enough for everyone to recognize


    me yet.”


    Her words barely left her lips before she was proven wrong.


    “Wow. Isn’t this Audrey, the big star?”


    A mocking voice came from the front. It was filled with mischief and teasing. Audrey heard the voice


    and found it somewhat familiar. She looked up and then frowned instantly. She muttered under her


    breath, “It’s him again.”


    Although her voice was barely audible, Catherine heard it. Catherine hadn’t intended to intervene, but


    Audrey’s words made her look up.


    More than one person had arrived. They were led by a fat man with a round face. He was dressed in


    ostentatious clothes covered in logo prints. He exuded an air of arrogance.


    He had his arm around a hotdy with a seductive figure. The woman’s attire barely qualified as


    clothing. It was more like a piece of fabric, which barely covered her from just above her navel to below


    her corbone.


    Seeing his appearance, Catherine felt a bit disgusted. Just a single nce at him gave Catherine a


    nauseating feeling. The beef slices in front of her suddenly didn’t look appetizing anymore.


    Kim noticed the way the neers were eyeing Audrey and sensed that something was off. He


    quickly stood up to defuse the situation.


    “Well. Isn’t this Mr. ton? What a coincidence! We meet again. Mr. ton, since it’s such a rare


    asion, would you do me the honor of letting me treat you to a meal?”


    Catherine thought inwardly, “Mr. ton?”


    Catherine’s eyes darkened as she realized the situation. She remembered that Joseph had mentioned


    someone nicknamed Mr. ton. He was Aaron ton, the youngest son of the tons from the west


    side of the city.


    Actually, Aaron’s mother was originally a mistress. She wasn’t the legal wife of the head of the tons


    back then.


    However, Aaron’s mother was cunning. She was greatly favored by the head of the tons, which


    made him dote on Aaron exceptionally, sometimes even more than the legitimate eldest son of the


    tons.


    This had made Aaron exceptionally arrogant. The tons were involved in the entertainment industry,


    and Aaron often used his connections to pursue female celebrities.


    The project Audrey was working on today happened to be the one that Aaron had initiated to promote


    his current girlfriend. When Aaron came to visit the set and saw Audrey in her traditional costume, he


    was instantly captivated.


    Upon hearing Kim’s words, Aaron sneered. Although he was a yboy, he wasn’t foolish. He saw


    through Kim’s attempt to distract him. Aaron pointed at Kim and chuckled. Then, he said, “Sure. Treat


    me to a meal. I’ll do you a favor and join you.”


    He directly pulled out a nearby chair that had a bag on it. Then, he plopped down right on top of


    Audrey’s bag. Audrey’s eyes widened in shock. That was the bag she had just bought. It was hertest


    obsession, and it was a new Hermès piece that she had waited for a long time.


    Seeing Audrey’s shock, Aaron chuckled. He stared at Audrey with his small eyes. Then, he sneered,


    “Oh, Miss Swann, my apologies for my clumsiness. I seem to have sat on your bag. How about I


    compensate you? If one is not enough, I’llpensate you with 10 bags.”


    His arrogant attitude made Audrey wish she could pick up the scorching barbecue and throw it over his


    head to give him a much-needed wake-up call.


    Audrey was seething. As she was ready to explode in anger, Kim discreetly held her back. At the same


    time, Catherine was sitting quietly on the side. She suddenly reached for two forks on the table.


    Then, a subtle sound could be heard. The next moment, the chair Aaron was sitting on suddenly


    copsed. Aaron, who was caught off guard, tumbled to the ground. Everyone was stunned. No one


    had expected this to happen.


    Three seconds had passed. Audrey couldn’t contain herughter, and neither could Kim. Catherine put


    down the fork and sat quietly on the side. She wore a faint smile on her beautiful face.


    The people around Aaron were usually the ones who ttered him the most. Seeing Aaron in such a


    humiliating situation, they hurriedly helped him up andforted him.


    Once Aaron sat down again, he felt deeply embarrassed and couldn’t ignore Audrey’s mocking smile.


    He was ready to cause a scene.


    As he stood Catherine. up, he suddenly noticed Catherine had been sitting quietly with her head down


    and her hat on. So, Aaron didn’t notice her just now. Now, after seeing Catherine’s face, he was


    instantly captivated.


    In his eyes, Catherine was incredibly beautiful. She had delicate features, perfect proportions, and a


    pair of eyes that were both cold and sharp.


    His anger dissipated as he stared at Catherine. He smiled at Catherine and called out, “Wow. Such a


    beautifuldy! How did I miss you? Miss, my apologies. May I know your name?”


    Audrey realized that Aaron had taken an interest in Catherine. She panicked and instinctively moved to


    shield Catherine with her arm. Catherine looked down at Audrey’s hand on her arm. Then, she slightly


    smiled.


    Audrey was so brave that she decided to protect Catherine. The tons held significant influence


    within the entertainment industry, and Audrey didn’t want to antagonize them.


    To protect Catherine while also safeguarding her own career, Audrey had no choice but to yield to


    Aaron. Audrey forced a smile and gazed at Aaron. “Mr. ton, are you okay?”

    She nned to divert Aaron’s attention away from Catherine and get Catherine to leave quietly.


    However, Aaron looked at Audrey with disdain. He thought Audrey was just like any other woman he


    had encountered and was ying hard to get.


    Aaron thought Audrey was upset because she saw him shift his focus to someone else. “Step aside.


    Don’t obstruct me from chatting with this beauty.”


    Audrey couldn’t take it anymore. If he targeted her, that was one thing. But messing with her sister was


    an entirely different matter.


    The sisters from the Swanns had fiery tempers. One should never cross their boundaries, or the


    consequences would be dire.


    “Mr. ton, this is my sister. Please mind your words.”


    But Aaron ignored Audrey’s warning. He smiled arrogantly. He ran his hand along his chin, and his


    lecherous gaze shifted between the two sisters.


    “Well, I didn’t expect you two to be sisters. I like that.”


    After saying this, Aaron couldn’t resist adding with a grin. “Especially in bed…”
