Chapter 230
Jessica approached Yesenia Duncan and said a few words, causing Yesenia’s face to darken
immediately. Yesenia was the girl who had called out to Grayson earlier, and she red in the direction
Catherine had left, displeased.
Yesenia had heard in a fans’ group chat that Grayson was participating in a variety show, so she had
done some digging.
So this woman was Catherine, the woman who had unintentionally crushed Yesenia’s image in
Grayson’s heart. How could Grayson, whom Yesenia held in such high regard, stoop so low as to
apany an unknown stranger?
Yesenia was furious. She watched as Grayson publicly acknowledged Catherine as his most esteemed
person, and it became even harder for her to ept the truth. She couldn’t understand what Catherine
had that she didn’t.
Rumors had it that Catherine was nothing more than an abandoned girl from the countryside, brought
back by the Swanns. How dare she be so arrogant?
Unable to contain her anger, Yesenia rushed forward and shouted at their retreating figures, “Stop right
there!”
Ronin had been irritated by the young girl just now. How dare such a young girl look down on his boss?
Was she asking for trouble?
If it weren’t for Catherine’s generosity in not wanting to make a scene, Ronin would have taught this
ignorant girl a lesson earlier. And now she dared to chase after them. Did she really think they were
pushovers?
Ronin turned around, ring at Yesenia, and bellowed, “Silly girl, did your parents not teach you
manners? When addressing someone older, you should use respectfulnguage. Don’t you even know
that? You’re so young, but your manner is so terrible. It seems like you’ve been up to no good. Truly, as
the saying goes, ‘uglinesses from within.’ You should take a good look in the mirror because your
face looks hideous right now! With such an ugly appearance, you still want to intimidate us? Do you have
any sense of decency?”
Yesenia had initially intended to teach Catherine a lesson, but before she could say anything, Ronin
launched a scathing attack, leaving herpletely defenseless. Ronin’s sharp tongue was not
something an ordinary person could withstand. His harsh words made Yesenia feel like crying.
Loraine, who stood in the middle, couldn’t hold back her anger any longer. Initially, she didn’t think much
of Catherine.

Even Grayson, in her opinion, was just a small-time celebrity. Calling him a mere actor wouldn’t be an
exaggeration. She held the view that people were divided into different sses, and actors were
considered part of the lowest ss. How could theypare to nobles like her?
“You ignorant brat!” Loraine cursed inwardly. “How dare you disrespect Yesenia? You’re courting death!”
Loraine stepped forward and grabbed Yesenia, her eyes casting a cold and ominous gaze toward
Grayson. Loraine’s voice carried an obvious warning as she spoke.
“Mr. Clifford, these friends of yours have no manners at all. I hope you handle this properly!”
One of the owners of this resort was a loyal pursuer of Loraine. She hadn’t nned oning here in
the first ce, but when Yesenia heard that one of the owners was Grayson, Yesenia insisted oning,
and Loraine decided toe with her.
Although Yesenia wasn’t a direct descendant of the Duncans, she was the only girl in her generation and
was favored by Karl. Even Branden treated her well. That was why Loraine always had her by her side.
Now that Yesenia had been bullied, Loraine had to stand up for her and let Yesenia feel her charm.
Although Loraine didn’t know how Grayson managed to get acquainted with Yesenia, she was certain
that Grayson wouldn’t dare to offend her. After all, he was just a small-time celebrity with some
poprity, notparable to the true aristocratic Sanfords.
Grayson nced at her, knowing that she was Loraine Sanford, the only daughter of the Sanfords, a true
heiress who was pampered and held in high regard. If Loraine had offended someone else, he wouldn’t
say much. But now, she was offending Catherine, which was definitely uneptable! He wouldn’t let
anyone insult his boss!
Grayson looked at Loraine with a cold expression and said, “Miss Sanford, I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill
your request.”
When Loraine heard this, her expression became highly unpleasant. She didn’t expect that what
Grayson said next would be the source of her anger.
Grayson said coldly, “And Miss Sanford, I ask that you apologize to my most esteemed guest for your
improper words and actions.”
Catherine crossed her arms and calmly observed the changing expressions on everyone’s faces. It was
truly fascinating. This show was much more entertaining than the resort itself.
Loraine stared at Grayson in disbelief, her eyes wide open, what she was hearing. unable to believe
Jessica stepped forward and bellowed, Grayson, have you gone mad? How dare you go against Yesenia
for the sake of a disaster?”
After speaking, she turned her attention towards Catherine. “Indeed, you are a disaster. Whoever is with
you gets unlucky. Do you even know who Yesenia is? She is Branden’s girlfriend. How dare you offend
her? Now both you and Grayson are done, do you understand?”
Loraine nced at Jessica with displeasure in her eyes. “Jessica!”
Jessica stepped back, not daring to show any annoyance. She looked extremely obedient.
Branden’s girlfriend?
Catherine nced at Loraine with curiosity. Indeed, Loraine’s appearance fit the type that Branden would
be interested in. But why hadn’t she heard of this “girlfriend” before?
Ronin, who was standing nearby, heard the conversation. He was clearly angrier than Catherine.
“Damn!” he cursed inwardly. “I didn’t expect Branden actually to have a girlfriend! This scumbag already
has a woman, yet he still dared to get close to Boss!”
He secretly vowed that the next time he saw this scumbag, he would definitely cripple his legs, no matter
the cost. How could Yesenia, who had never experienced such an insult in her life, endure it?
She said to Loraine, “Loraine, don’t waste time talking to them. Just teach them a lesson. Only then will
they know their ce.”
Loraine agreed. She had never been so embarrassed in her life. She was being condemned by an actor.
It was truly ridiculous.
Loraine nced around and saw that her father had arranged a team of bodyguards to protect her
safety. These were top-notch professionals in the industry, many of them former special forces with
exceptionalbat skills.
With a single gesture of hers, four people emerged from the shadows and respectfully awaited Loraine’s
orders. Before Loraine could speak, Yesenia said, “Catch those people for me, except for Grayson!”
The four bodyguards nced at Loraine, waiting for her approval before taking action. Ronin had been
itching for a fight, and now four people were avable.
Grayson hadn’t had a chance to fight in a while, so he loosened the buttons on his sleeves, preparing to
stretch his muscles.
They exchanged a nce, and the assignments were silently made.
They each would deal with two bodyguards!
