Chapter 477 The Exam


    Catherine was heading to the exam room in Casier. Looking ahead at the crowded scene, Catherine


    impatiently spoke up in a cold voice, “Drop me off up front.”


    There was no choice. The ce was packed with the parents of exam- takers. Many families had


    mobilized for this event.


    The once spacious road had now be unbearably congested. Hearing Catherine’s words, the


    driver was sweating profusely. But he didn’t dare to make any decisions.


    Seeing the severe traffic jam up ahead, Branden simply pushed the car door open.


    With the zing sun outside, he reached for the umbre by the car door and propped it up to shield


    himself from the scorching rays.


    Paxton approached and intended to take the umbre, but Branden avoided his hand. Branden circled


    to Catherine’s side, opened the car door, and led her out.


    As they stepped out, the big umbre cast a shadow over Catherine and shielded her from the sun


    “Let’s go,” Branden said.


    He held Catherine’s hand and led her toward the exam room. The parking spot wasn’t too far from the


    exam room, just 100 yards away.


    The entrance of the exam room was swarmed with people. Branden, who usually avoided crowds,


    showed no signs of dissatisfaction.


    He stood behind Catherine and blocked the harsh sun with his tall figure.


    At the school gate, there were also TV reporters covering the event. With Branden escorting Catherine,


    the two of them immediately caught the attention of many people. The reporters were quick to notice


    this attractive couple.


    One of them couldn’t help but exim, “Wow. This guy is so handsome! He doesn’t look like a student


    here to take the exam. And the girl he’s with is so gorgeous, like a princess. Is he her brother, here to


    see her off?”


    The more experienced cameraman behind the reporter rolled his eyes and teased the new intern for


    herck of insight.


    “Didn’t you look at their hands? How can they be siblings when they’re holding hands like that?”


    Upon closer inspection, the reporter realized what the cameraman said was right. The two people’s


    intertwined fingers made them look like a loving couple.


    The reporter was truly captivated by their looks. With a few minutes left before the entrance time, she


    decided to approach them for an interview.


    As she prepared to approach, the cameraman immediately stopped her.


    The puzzled reporter turned to him and wondered why he was holding her back.


    “Sir, why aren’t we going to interview them?”


    “Take a closer look at the logo of their umbre. Not everyone can be interviewed,” the cameraman


    exined.


    Branden had a powerful and authoritative presence. From the aura emanating from Branden, the


    cameraman understood that Branden was not ordinary.


    Moreover, the umbre he held, with such a prominent logo, was a symbol of wealth. After being


    reminded, the reporter finally noticed the umbre that Branden was holding.


    She had read about these umbres built into car doors, and they started at a price of at least one


    hundred thousand dors.


    This umbre Branden had looked even more high-end than what she had seen in those informative


    posts. The price must have been on the higher side. Its price must easily match that of a mid- range to


    high-end car.


    Upon this realization, the reporter quickly abandoned her n to interview and expressed her gratitude


    to the cameraman.


    Branden noticed the nearby camera crew, but he didn’t pay them much attention. As long as they didn’t


    disturb Catherine’s exam preparations, he was fine.


    The bell rang, and the exam room’s door opened. Catherine didn’t rush in. She waited for most of the


    people to enter before giving Branden a subtle nod. Then, she walked confidently toward the exam


    room.


    Her expression was rxed andposed, and she showed no signs of nervousness.


    Watching that, Paxton couldn’t help butpliment her. He said, “Miss Catherine’s calm demeanor is


    truly admirable. After all, this is such a significant exam, and she doesn’t seem nervous at all.”


    Branden stared at Catherine as she walked away. She gradually disappeared from his sight.


    Then he replied earnestly, “She is like me.”


    Paxton had initially wanted to lighten the atmosphere by praising Catherine, but he never expected


    Branden to respond.


    It was truly surprising.


    Catherine found her exam room, and coincidentally, Liana also walked in. It was quite a coincidence


    that they were assigned to the same exam room.


    As soon as Liana saw Catherine, her first reaction was to nce at Catherine’s arm. When Liana


    noticed the bandage on Catherine’s right hand, a smug smile appeared on her face.


    It was evident that Catherine had suffered a significant injury, and she could hardly pass this important


    exam.


    Liana coldly snorted with arrogance and left.


    Catherine had no interest in engaging with her. If she wanted to put on a show, Catherine was content


    to let her do so alone.


    Only half an hour into the exam, a student suddenly raised a hand to turn in the paper.


    This student was Catherine. The exam proctor came over to her and asked repeatedly, “Are you sure


    you want to submit your paper?”


    Catherine ced her paper in the proctor’s hands. She picked up her belongings and left without a


    word.


    The proctor watched Catherine walk away with an embarrassed expression and then shook her head.


    Some students couldn’t be persuaded, and this time, she didn’t bother trying.


    Catherine submitted her paper so early, which caused quite amotion.


    Liana naturally noticed it, and the mockery in her eyes intensified.


    She thought inwardly, “Catherine’s hand is injured.


    “What is the point of just sitting there? She might as well turn in the paper.”


    This time, Liana was brimming with confidence. She believed she would ultimately outperform


    Catherine.


    Two days of exams passed in the blink of an eye, and the major exam was finally over. To reward


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Catherine, Branden specially arranged a trip for Catherine to rx for a few days.


    He had all the prepared documents ready to present to Catherine, but Catherine promptly refused for a


    simple reason.


    The reason she provided was just one word.


    “Tired!”


    Catherine didn’t want to do anything. She just wished toy at home and y games. Seeing her in this


    state, Branden had no choice but to let her be. He put away the travel ns and materials and let


    Catherine rx at home.


    He tried to finish any work that could be done from home and free up as much time as possible to be


    with Catherine.


    In the afternoon, Branden had to attend a meeting at thepany. Catherine was bored. She yed


    games on her phone.


    As soon as one game ended, a call from Withal came in. Catherine casually answered the call, put it on


    speakerphone, and tossed it aside. She was sozy that she didn’t even want to hold the phone in her


    hand.


    “Catherine, I heard you just finished your exams and have some free time.”


    Withal’s voice was filled with excitement.


    Catherine didn’t need to guess. She knew it was Ronin who told him. Ronin was probably about to


    broadcast it to everyone with a megaphone.


    Catherinezily responded with her sultry voice. “Spit it out.”


    Even though Catherine’s mood seemed rtively good, Withal didn’t dare to be disrespectful in front of


    her. He quickly got to the point.


    “Catherine, the king of Ravenloth sent us a letter of request and asked you to visit Ravenloth.”
