Catherine didn't see the news and was basically in seclusion mode now.
After a walk with Branden, she went home to chill.
She had to go to school tomorrow. Staying up too late wasn't good for her health.
Hearing the steady breathing beside him, Branden's face showed a rare calmness and contentment.
He took out his phone, opened Twitter, which he hadn't visited for a long time, and reposted the hottest trend.
Then he turned off his phone and happily fell asleep with Catherine in his arms.
*****
The next day, Catherine was woken up by her phone blowing up with messages.
When she was sleeping, she always put her phone on the lowest volume, but no matter how subtle the sound was, her sharp senses still picked up on it immediately.
She opened her phone and saw dozens of unread messages lighting up the screen.
The first message that popped up was from Zobber because she sent the most messages, and the most recent one was also sent by her. [Catherine, awesome! I'm teaming up with Mr. Duncan this time.]
Catherine was completely puzzled. She originally wanted to see exactly what Zobber had sent, but after seeing all those voice messages, she quietly closed the chat window,
The bigger the situation, the calmer Zobber became, and she spoke succinctly to the point Only boring gossip could excite her interest and make her talk endlessly like this.
Catherine didn't even have to think about it to know that it definitely wasn't a big deal, so she just ignored it.
After she closed the chat, she saw messages from Mr. Theo, Professor Hartley, Ronin... and many other people.
Mr. Theo said, [Cassie, that boy is a keeper!]
Marshall sent, [Tell that brat to behave himself a bit. My wife scolded me again this morning: she hadn't given me a good face all day.]
Ronin sent, [Emergency! Catherine, you're trending again.]
Catherine guessed the trend must have sparked quite a buzz to make these people message her so frantically.
After washing up and sitting at the dining table, she casually picked up her phone and started browsing the trending topics.
She didn't even have to search for it to see that most prominent trending topic. The billionaire president confessed his feelings in the middle of the night, leaving countless netizens envious.
Catherine clicked the trending topic and saw the news, which made everyone text her like crazy.
Branden reposted the hottest news and even tagged her, saying, "The only choice for my wife is and will always be her, Catherine."
Seeing the message, Catherine just smiled softly, put her phone aside, and continued to eat breakfast.
These pig shaped desserts on the table seemed to be more adorable.
When Selene saw the news, she was about to explode from anger.
She thought Duncan Corporation would handle the public relations, so she was ready with a plan. But she didn't expect that Branden himself would come out to handle it personally.
She had known Branden since she was little; she knew his personality very well and knew he wouldn't even care about these things.
But Branden's approach really caught her off guard this time.
After reading a few comments from netizens, all she saw were blessings for Catherine. Selene couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She angrily threw her phone to the side.
With a loud bang, the cell phone landed on the ground. Not long after, the phone on the table started ringing again.
This was the direct line in the office. Selene must answer it.
She picked up the phone and put it to her ear with a serious expression. "Boss, you looking for me?"
On the other end of the phone came an old man's voice. "Is this how you repay me?" The cold voice sent shivers down Selene's spine and made her body uncontrollably tremble. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, 'Boss, I didn't do enough preparations this time. I have learned my lesson, and I promise that I won't disappoint you again next time. Please give me another chance."
"Alright, I'll give you one more chance. You'll be gone forever if you still can't make it."
Hearing the threat from the other side, Sellene's face turned extremely gloomy.
Regardless, she still reluctantly agreed to do it. "Don't worry, boss."
After hanging up the phone, Selene's originally fearful expression gradually turned icy.
She thought things would go smoothly this time, but it turned out it had been a real struggle.
It looked like those people were right. Catherine was definitely much more difficult to deal with than she imagined.
A woman who could easily change Branden was definitely not just a simple woman. But she wasn't about to give up just yet. It was still uncertain who was going to win next. Selene gazed down at the photo on the table with a strange and chilling smile.
She quickly picked up the letter opener next to her and fiercely stabbed it into the photo, instantly piercing through Catherine in the photo.
Her gruff voice slowly sounded, which was extremely cold. "We'll see about that!"
After Paxton got the message, he reported to Catherine right away, "Miss Swann, I heard Mr. Karl Duncan is coming. He's on the plane now."
Catherine was taken aback for a moment. She hadn't expected Paxton to tell her this news.
Does Branden know this?"
"Boss is still in a meeting. The butler said that Mr. Karl decided to come at the last minute,
so he didn't have time to notify us."
"Oh," Catherine responded calmly, without showing much emotion.
Listening to these lukewarm words from Catherine, Paxton felt a bit restless. 'Miss Swann, do you need me to send a car to take you to the airport?
"No need!" Gatherine didn't hesitate to refuse Paxton's proposal. Karl was an adult, and he had his own freedom.
'Since he didn't even say it before coming, maybe he's here to visit or for some other reason. We shouldn't just rush in to meet him without consent; it's not a good idea, and I don't want to do that either; Catherine thought.
"I gotta go if nothing else," she said.
Paxton was kind of helpless, but he still had to go along with Catherine's decision and hung up the phone.
Word got around real quick that Catherine wasn't heading to the airport. Selene was just worrying about missing her chance. Now it was right there in front of her.
She knew Karl was not easy to get along with, but that was not the case for her.
'My dad was Mr. Duncan's driver, and he's always been trusted by the Duncans. How can Catherine compare to me? I'll just take this opportunity to crush Catherine a bit so that girl doesn't get too arrogant,' she said inwardly.
"Get the car ready. To the airport!"
