    The next day, Catherine walked out of the school gate. A low-key ck Bentley was parked not far


    away, with the head butler of the Breens, Jay, standing next to the car. It was clear who was sitting in


    the car.


    Catherine didn’t avoid him and walked straight toward the car. Jay smiled and opened the door for her,


    and Catherine bent down to get in.


    Shane had been waiting in the car, and when he saw Catherine, a rare smile appeared on his usually


    serious face. ” Cassie, long time no see!”


    Catherine looked politely at him, her eyes filled with indifference. “Long time no see.”


    Shane’s enthusiasm evidently did not fade due to Catherine’s coldness. “It’s been almost ten years


    since Ist came to Loxton. You’ve been studying here, so you should be familiar with the city. How


    about taking me to lunch?”


    Catherine did not refuse and then told the driver an address. Ten minutester, the car stopped at the


    entrance of the Golden Spoon.


    With her hands in her pockets, Catherine followed behind Shane and entered the private room. They


    didn’t notice that a few people were watching them curiously on the side.


    “Isn’t this Catherine Swann from the electronic information engineering department?” The speaker was


    a student from Styre University, Isadora Wale.


    Standing next to her was Emma Wale, who had been keeping a low profile since losing to Catherine in


    the National Literary and Art League. She had finally managed to get into Loxton and unexpectedly ran


    into Catherine. It really was a small world!


    “Isadora, do you know her?” Emma asked.


    Isadora said disdainfully, “She’s quite famous on campus. Everybody knows her.”


    Catherine’s poprity at school was too high, and Isadora looked down on such people the most. She


    said sarcastically, “Why does shee to a ce like this with an old man? And they’ve even chosen


    a private room! There must be something fishy going on. Look at that old man. He’s worth a fortune.


    Maybe she is that old man’s kept woman!”


    Emma didn’t expect Catherine to be still so high-profile in a new school, and she felt a surge of anger.


    She and Isadora were cousins, but Isadora had grown up in Loxton with a much better family


    background than hers.


    “Isadora, I think you’re absolutely right. It’s a shame your ssmates are still in the dark, admiring her


    just for her looks!”


    This hit Isadora right in the heart. The man she admired the most was Drake.


    She had a crush on him for his outstanding performance in the gaming arena, thinking he had great


    charm. However, she recently found out that Drake was actually interested in Catherine. There was


    even a photo of Catherine on the table in their dorm.


    When she heard about this, her hatred toward Catherine intensified.


    “Emma, you’re right. We can’t let such a disgusting and despicable woman be so arrogant. We must


    expose her shameless behavior,” Isadora said to her cousin, Emma, her eyes filled with rage.


    Watching the angry look on Isadora’s face, Emma felt quite satisfied. This time, she was going to ruin


    Catherine’s reputation.


    In the private room, Catherine ate her food quietly. She had been to this restaurant several times with


    Branden, and the food was decent. Feeling her stomach full, she put down her fork.


    Shane was still enjoying his meal, clearly satisfied with Catherine’s choice of venue.


    “The Eskanese cuisine is truly remarkable. No wonder you refused to eat the food the chef made when


    you were in Euphosean,” Shane said.


    Catherine had a taste for Eskanese cuisine, and the bread and steak lifestyle in Euphosean was


    bearable for her asionally, but she couldn’t handle it every day.


    After satisfying their hunger, Shane’s conversation turned to business. ” Cassie, I’m getting old. We


    need an heir, and I hope that person is you.” He knew Catherine’s capabilities better than anyone, and


    only she could be his proudest sessor. In his opinion, Catherine was the one who could lead the


    Breens to a more powerful and glorious future.


    He had known Catherine since she was 12 years old. At that young age, she was exceptionally thin


    and weak but had beautiful eyes. He initially thought Catherine was from a poor family in distress, but


    he didn’t expect that everything about her, from her clothes to her living expenses, was not cheap.


    Later, he was impressed by Catherine’s talent. He had never seen such a smart child.


    Although Catherine was intelligent at that time, she was no match for Shane. He brought Catherine


    back to the family and trained her to be his top assistant. Unexpectedly, she leftter on.


    Catherine’s expression remained unchanged. Clearly, she had no interest in Shane’s offer. She looked


    coldly at him and said, “I’m not interested!”


    Catherine never liked to repeat herself, and Shane knew her character well. Knowing that Catherine’s


    rejection was genuine disinterest, he felt regretful. However, he had no intention of giving up just yet.


    Since he had taken the initiative and she was unwilling to ept it, he nned to find a way to make


    here to him on her own. Many years ago, he was able to make Catherine follow his orders, and he


    believed he could still do so now.


    After finishing their meal, Catherine suggested leaving, and Shane did not refuse. As they got up to go,


    they were informed that Mr. Duncan had already paid the bill.


    Shane raised an eyebrow and looked at Catherine with a meaningful smile. ” Cassie, it seems your


    boyfriend doesn’t trust you,” he said, implying that if he trusted her, why would he have someone keep


    an eye on her?


    “Humph.” Catherine chuckled lightly, showing some disdain for Shane’s attempt to sow discord. She


    hadn’t expected that the usually high and mighty Shane would one day y such childish tricks.


    Seeing her in such a good mood, Shane was a little confused. He carefully scrutinized her.


    Soon, Catherine gave him the answer.” By the way, I forgot to tell you, my boyfriend knows I like the


    food here and has already bought this restaurant!


    Catherine chose toe to this restaurant without hiding it from Branden. After their first visit, Branden


    immediately bought the restaurant, making it convenient for Catherine to dine here next time.


    Almost all the waiters had been reced, and their first rule at work was to recognize who Catherine,


    the boss of the restaurant, was. The moment Catherine appeared, the manager informed Branden.


    Shane’s face immediately darkened, as he didn’t like this kind of joke. Clearly, he had be a


    laughingstock.


    Before leaving, Catherine didn’t forget to taunt him. “It’s gettingte. My boyfriend will worry about me,


    so I’ll be off!”


    Shane was so angry that he didn’t even say goodbye to Catherine. Jay, who had been by his side for


    many years, hadn’t seen his boss lose face like this for a long time. He found it amusing. It seemed that


    only when Catherine was around did Shane seem more lively.
