Chapter 506 Provocation


    Branden rarely came to Loxton, so many old friends were eager to have a chat with him.


    Knowing that Catherine didn’t like to interact with people, Branden settled her in afortable seat.


    After that, he was ready to leave, though with a reluctant look on his face.


    “Get some rest here. I’ll be back soon!”


    Catherine raised her eyes slightly and gave him a nce, saying nothing.


    Branden gently patted her head and turned to leave.


    Once Branden was gone, Catherine withdrew her gaze. She reached into her pocket, took out her


    phone, put on her headphones, and began ying a game.


    With Branden gone, Jada and her friends began to openly scrutinize Catherine. One of the women


    frowned and stared in Catherine’s direction, making a snidement.


    “She’s not bad-looking, but her demeanor can’tpare to Jada’s. I wonder where Branden found this


    waitress.”


    Right after she finished her words, another woman chimed in.


    “Jada, isn’t your family already engaged to the Duncans? Now, Mr. Duncan has brought this vixen


    along. What’s going on?”


    The Facers were a well-known wealthy family in Loxton, and coupled with Jada’s exceptional personal


    qualities, it was extremely rare to find a suitable young man in Loxton who could match her.


    Over the years, Jada had no scandals. The outside world had always been saying that the Facers were


    engaged to the Duncans of Casier, and Jada was already considered Branden’s fiancée by everyone.


    Jada herself had never denied it, and over time, it became a fact in everyone’s eyes.


    These friends of hers, in order to tter Jada, belittled Catherine to no end.


    Under the esction of such remarks, Jada could no longer control her temper. She, who was usually


    quiteposed, had been acting recklessly ever since she encountered Branden. She directly led her


    friends to confront Catherine. In order to maintain the basic etiquette of a socialite, she suppressed her


    anger and said with a calm expression, “Excuse me, miss…”


    Catherine was engrossed in her game with her headphones on,pletely indifferent to the people


    In Catherine’s opinion, those so-called political and business elites were not as interesting as the virtual


    characters in the game. How could she possibly pay attention to them?


    Not receiving a response, Jada felt extremely awkward. She didn’t expect Catherine to be so ignorant


    of her own worth and dare to openly provoke her, the daughter of the Facers.


    On such an asion today, Catherine, a girl who appeared out of nowhere, was being so audacious!


    Seeing Catherine having her headphones on, Jada had a cunning smile in her eyes. She wanted to


    know how long Catherine could keep up the act.


    Seizing the moment when Catherine wasn’t paying attention, Jada raised her hand and swung it


    towards her.


    The people standing by were all watching the spectacle, but no one had any intention of stepping in to


    help. If Jada wanted to teach someone a lesson, it was unlikely that someone could interfere.


    Just as the p was about tond on Catherine’s face, a dark figure whizzed past. Then, a horrified


    scream echoed through the air as Jada was thrown to the ground, in too much pain to get up.


    Meanwhile, Catherine, who had been the target of the attack, remained unscathed, calmly tapping on


    her phone as if nothing had happened. The people around her hadn’t even caught a glimpse of how


    she had fought back against Jada.

    Jada had met her downfall after approaching Catherine! A few secondster, several socialites finally


    snapped out of their shock and helped Jada up.


    “She has some nerve. How dare she attack Miss Facer? She’s really asking for trouble.”


    After they helped Jada up, they began to insult Catherine.


    “Yeah. She’s an insignificant nobody. She thinks she’s something just because she’s gotten close to Mr.


    Duncan. That’s why she’s acting so recklessly here. She’s just courting death!”


    “Exactly! What an ignorant woman! She acts as if she’d married Mr. Duncan!


    They seemed to be reprimanding Catherine, but in reality, these words had also crushed Jada’s dignity.


    Faced with such humiliation, Jada couldn’t possibly swallow her pride. She was attacked at her own


    family’s banquet, which was absolutely uneptable.


    Jada was supported to her feet, and she shouted towards the entrance, “Are you all just going to stand


    there and watch? Take this crazy woman down!”


    The security at a banquet like this was extremely strict. In order not to disturb the esteemed guests, the


    security team remained hidden in the shadows.


    Hearing Jada’s shout, a group of bodyguards immediately rushed out. The imposing bodyguards made


    Jada’s confidence soar. She wanted to let Catherine know the price that Catherine would pay for


    attacking her.


    As a round of games ended, Catherine put away her phone. Just then, the captain of the bodyguards


    came rushing over, and Catherine nced at him.


    Her icy gaze swept coldly over his face, causing the bodyguard to freeze for a moment. Then,


    something astonishing happened.


    The captain, who had just been full of indignation, suddenly knelt in front of Catherine, bowing his head


    respectfully.


    When people present saw this, they were dumbfounded, especially Jada, who knew that this newly


    appointed captain was a top-notch mercenary her grandfather had paid a lot of money to hire. Only for


    such a significant banquet would he be assigned, and he wouldn’t appear in ordinary events.


    Now that he was here, he actually kneeled in front of Catherine. What was going on?


    Jada red at him and scolded, “Baron Jones, what are you doing? I asked you to take her down. Why


    did you kneel to her?”


    Catherine calmly observed Jada, her eyes cold and indifferent. She grew impatient with Jada’s


    incessant chatter, responding in a cold voice, ” You sure talk a lot!”


    “How dare you…” Jada trembled with anger. She didn’t expect this girl to be so audacious and dare to


    speak to her like that.


    “Damn it!”


    After reprimanding Catherine, Jada cursed Baron furiously, “Why are you still kneeling there? Take this


    woman down!”


    Baron’s expression remained cold and stern. Although Jada was his employer, his contract clearly


    stated that he had the right to refuse to carry out tasks that endangered his life.


    “Sorry, Miss Facer. I can’t do it,” Baron said, his wordsnding like a hard p on Jada’s face.


    She couldn’t evenmand her own bodyguard, especially at a banquet like this! If this were to


    spread, how was she supposed to face her friends and family in the future?


    Jada was on the verge of going mad!


    “Baron Jones, you’re being so insolent. Do you think you’re so great just because you have some


    skills? I can make it difficult for you to survive in Loxton!”


    She wasn’t joking. After all, the Facers had a great deal of influence in Loxton. Although Baron was a


    mercenary, if the Facers really wanted to deal with him, he would be in trouble.


    Baron’s expression changed instantly.


    Seeing this, Jada felt a sense of satisfaction. She began to nder Catherine.


    “I didn’t expect you, a seemingly insignificant woman, to be so cunning. You flirt with Mr. Duncan while


    entangling yourself with Baron Jones, making him dare to defy even his employer’s orders.”


    Jada thought that Baron didn’t act against Catherine because he had a romantic rtionship with


    Catherine.
