Chapter 348


    Chapter 348 She’s Like Their Goddess


    Catherine left Branden’s apartment and returned to Audrey’s ce. She opened her phone. She


    received a video call, and Ronin’s babyface appeared on Catherine’s phone screen.


    “Catherine, Jolene sent a message that there’s something wrong with the data and wants to talk to you


    about it.”


    Catherine nodded in agreement. “Put her through to me.”


    “Of course,” Ronin replied. The next second, the image on the screen changed. Ronin’s good-looking


    face was gone and was reced by a sexy, pretty girl with tanned skin who was wearing a ck slip-


    dress.


    “Hi, Catherine! It’s been a long time! I miss you so much!”


    Behind Jolene Carter was a giant screen where different data was scrolling quickly.


    Once Catherine got to work, she would put on a straight face and give off the aura of warning others not


    to disturb her. She had a powerful vibe.


    “Send me the data. I will check it.”


    Jolene was in ecstasy to finally get in touch with Catherine. In thoseputer geniuses’ hearts, they


    could always get the answers and solutions to the most challenging questions they could not figure out.


    Catherine was like their goddess. She was their faith.


    “Catherine, I have sent you all the data. We have tried to deal with it many times. Each time, the program


    would end up in an endless loop. We failed to solve it.”


    Catherine scanned the data and could not judge which part was problematic for the time. She needed to


    check and run the program from the beginning.


    “I will reply to you tomorrow.”


    Jolene was shocked. Catherine seemed omnipotent. Her whole group had studied it for a week without a


    result, but Catherine said she would reply to her tomorrow at a nce. How capable!


    Jolene admired Catherine even more and was more eager to be around Catherine.


    “Catherine, you have been away for several months. Is school so interesting?” Although Jolene had


    finished her university lessons at 12, she still wanted to know what it was like to be in school. She was so


    envious of Ronin.


    Catherine only raised her brows. “Is there anything else you need to say? No? I got to go.”


    “What?” Jolene screamed out loud. She had only seen Catherine for less than a minute, and Catherine


    cut the call just like that. That was so cruel.


    The heartless Catherine pressed the button to end the call under Jolene’s whining. Catherine was the


    one who owned the Hacker Alliance, but only Jolene and Ronin had seen her, and only Ronin could


    contact Catherine.


    Even when Jolene wanted to talk to Catherine, she had to get to Catherine through Ronin. It was hard for


    Jolene to meet with Catherine, and the meeting had ended abruptly.


    Jolene whined in depression. She would be sad for quite a while. Branden had a call inside the study in


    his apartment. When he came out, there was no one in the living room.The person who ought to be lying


    on the bean bag was now gone.


    The corners of Branden’s lips turned down in resignation. He was thinking if he should buy a pair of


    handcuffs to lock Catherine by his side. He hated the feeling that she always left without letting him


    know.


    Just as Catherine put the phone down, her phone rang again. She frowned slightly, but a trace of a smile


    appeared when she saw the caller ID.


    “What?” Catherine said briefly. Branden’s low and hoarse voice sounded in Catherine’s ear. “Where did


    you go? What are you doing?


    Catherine looked at theputer by her hand and said, “In my room and doing homework.” She was


    calm and did not feel ashamed to say so. She was working out the forme and running the program.


    How was that not regarded as homework?


    Branden remembered Catherine always copied Bryan’s homework. She never wasted her time thinking


    about it, did she?


    Yet, Branden did not call Catherine’s bluff but continued the topic with interest.


    “Why are you so hardworking?”


    “Tomorrow is the due date.” Catherine smiled.


    She did not know when, but Branden’s weight in her heart gradually increased.


    “Go on.” Branden did not force her or interfere with her. “Come here and have a ss of milk before you


    sleep.”


    “Okay.”

    Catherine did not like drinking milk but still promised, as Branden wanted.


    In Oceanvile. All projects of the headquarters of the Winfred Group hade to a stop since one o’clock


    in the afternoon. No one knew what had happened, and they could only watch thepany lose money.


    The money was like water in a broken faucet that kept running out. The General Manager of the Winfred


    Group finally contacted Xavier, who was in Casier.


    Xavier knew something must have happened when he received the General Manager’s call. The General


    Manager was someone Xavier had groomed and trusted and was excellent at work.


    If it were not urgent, the General Manager would not call Xavier when he was about to have the


    operation.


    Xavier almost fainted after hearing what the General Manager had said. The General Manager got to the


    point. ” Sir, if we keep losing money at this speed, we will have to shut down a subsidiary corporation


    every three days.


    They would lose a subsidiary corporation every three days? Even though the Winfred Group was


    affluent, it could not stand such a tremendous loss.


    Xavier was having the operation the following day, but he made up his mind. “Hold on to it. I will be back


    right now.”


    Notwithstanding his family’s persuasion, he rushed back to Oceanvile to control the situation. As long as


    Erick was in his hand, his body could wait a few more days.


    But the loss of the Winfred Group could not wait. If Xavier did not stop it, his business would be screwed


    in less than a month. Xavier left, but his son, Jeremy, still stayed in Casier.


    Xavier left the butler behind to rein in and keep an eye on Jeremy. Jeremy nned to go out and have


    fun since his father had left the city and there was no one to control him.


    The butler stopped him. “Sir, your father is not around, but many things still need to be dealt with. You


    should stay home and handle them for your father.”


    Jeremy red at the butler impatiently. It was a rare chance that his father was not around, but that old


    guy was annoying enough to ruin his mood.


    “I know what you mean, but our ce is secure against assault. There’s a team of mercenaries guarding


    down there. Nothing will happen.


    “Get out of my way. I’m going out. I wille home earlier in the evening, alright?”


    Jeremy pushed the butler away and left the house.


    Seeing Jeremy’s retreating figure, the butler shook his head helplessly. But he thought what Jeremy said


    made sense. The mercenary team was guarding the dungeon and was supposed not to let even a fly in.


    Little did the Winfreds know that someone was already getting into the dungeon they thought was heavily


    guarded and secured.


    The mercenaries had not noticed anything. Catherine had managed to hide herself and sneak into the


    dungeon.


    Catherine was not surprised to receive Erick’s news of wanting to see her. Since Erick chose to return to


    the Winfreds’ ce, he must have prepared everything.


    Catherine went to see what Erick wanted from her. “Tell me. Why do you want to see me?”
