Chapter 270 The Concert
After Catherine got into Branden’s car, he started to inquire calmly. “I heard your brother had an accident.
Do you need any help?”
“No need.”
Catherine’s attitude was cold, and she didn’t even bat an eyelid. She thought Johnathan didn’t need her care. Johnathan was the only son of the Swanns. There were plenty of doctors waiting to attend to him.
Since Branden brought it up, Catherine decided to ask for a favor along the way. “Do me a favor.”
Branden gently turned his head to look at her with indulgence.
“Go on.
When others asked him for help, it depended on his mood. But when Catherine asked, it was a matter of one word. Catherine straightforwardly stated her request. She said, “Investigate the car accident.”
Branden raised an eyebrow and looked at her with a meaningful look. ” Johnathan?”
Catherine nodded. She wanted to investigate Johnathan’s car accident. She couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. The timing of Johnathan’s car accident was just too coincidental.
Not long ago, Leonel had a car accident. Then Audrey had an incident, and now Johnathan had a car accident.
With so many coincidences, it might not be a coincidence at all. Without hesitation, Branden nodded in agreement and said, “Alright.”
When Catherine was about to thank him, Branden seemed to read her thoughts and preemptively held her hand. Then he changed the subject.
“Catherine, what would you like to eat tonight? How about barbecue?”
Catherine shook her head and declined the proposal to have a barbecue. “Your last home-cooked meal was excellent.”
Although Catherine loved barbecue, she had found that Branden’s home- cooked dishes suited her taste after trying them a few times.
Branden smiled and looked at Catherine with indulgence. He parted his lips lightly and uttered a single word. He said, “Okay,”
Paxton was sitting in the front seat. He inadvertently overheard this conversation and silently shook his head. He hadn’t expected Branden to cook dishes one day.
The world was truly magical. Last night, Catherine stayed in a guest room across his door again. This morning, she enjoyed the breakfast that Branden had prepared for her. Then she rushed to the classroom at the last minute.
As Ronin saw Catherine in this state, without asking, he knew she had already been well taken care of. Then Ronin silently ate the breakfast he had prepared for Catherine. As soon as the first class ended, Yesenia eagerly ran over to find Catherine. After seeing Yesenia, Ronin couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
He felt like he must have a grudge against the Duncans. He thought inwardly, “Why are the Duncans, one after another, coming to bother me and compete for the attention of Boss?”
He sarcastically asked George, ” George, should we install a card reader at the door to keep these people from coming to Class 8? We can’t handle so many of them.”
After being called by Ronin, George looked at him silently. George knew he was being used as a scapegoat. He had no choice but to remain silent.
Yesenia naturally understood that Ronin was targeting her. She had initially wanted to argue back. But when she thought about how Catherine didn’t like people arguing in front of her, she gave up.
Yesenia ignored Ronin, and Ronin’s provocations failed. He lost interest instantly. Most importantly, Ronin was worried that making too much noise would annoy Catherine, which would be more trouble than it was worth.
Ronin thought inwardly, “Since Yesenia can act innocent and obedient in front of Boss, I can also do it.”
Catherine was wearing headphones and playing a game. She completely ignored Yesenia. Yesenia approached Catherine with enthusiasm. She didn’t mind whether Catherine acknowledged her or not. She cheerfully said, “Super Catherine, there’s a small concert by Peerless Grayson tonight, and I have tickets. Let’s go together.”
Tickets for Grayson’s concert were in high demand, especially for small private shows like this one. If it weren’t for Yesenia’s continuous support for Grayson and her strong membership in his fan club, she wouldn’t have easily obtained tickets to the small concert.
Yesenia believed that Catherine had a good relationship with Grayson and would be willing to go. After all, it was a way to support him.
Ever since she learned that Catherine was not only a gaming sensation but also a talented songwriter and composer, Yesenia’s admiration for her had reached its peak. Catherine remained focused on her game and paid no attention to Yesenia.
Yesenia wasn’t annoyed. She squeezed herself into half of Bryan’s seat. Then she rested her cheek in her hand and idly watched Catherine play games. Bryan rolled his eyes. However, it was Yesenia, and he couldn’t vent his frustration.
Many in the class knew that Yesenia was Bryan’s sister. Both of them were part of the Duncans. Therefore, Yesenia’s attitude toward Bryan was not surprising. It was normal for siblings to behave this way.
Yesenia found watching Catherine play games was a unique form of enjoyment. As a spectator, Yesenia couldn’t even grasp how Catherine was operating, yet Catherine had defeated the other party.
Catherine’s skill was simply outstanding. Yesenia was left feeling dazzled and couldn’t help but scream in excitement. Finally, Catherine ended a match with lightning speed and removed her headphones.
“Super Catherine, I feel like your marksmanship has improved again. That performance of AWM just now was impressive. You’re my idol.”
Most elite gamers would choose a rifle paired with a sniper rifle for versatility in long-range and close-quarters combat.
However, Catherine was different. She carried a shotgun and a single-shot sniper rifle. With these extraordinary maneuvers, she secured a steady victory. With just 20 AWM bullets, she had taken down 20 opponents. It showed her remarkable accuracy and skill.
After observing Catherine’s operation for a while, Yesenia felt that it was more interesting than watching top gaming streamers.
She would be willing to tip her entire fortune to Catherine if there were a tipping feature because no one deserved it more.
Catherine’s eyes were tired from playing, so she decided to take a short break. She glanced at Yesenia with a cold gaze. However, Yesenia was enthusiastic and didn’t notice Catherine’s attitude. She continued approaching Catherine.
“Super Catherine, are we going tonight? I heard it’s Peerless Grayson’s birthday today. Let’s go together. It’s a rare opportunity.”
Catherine thought inwardly, “Birthday?
Catherine thought of a message she had received last night. It seemed that Grayson had indeed invited her. He hoped Catherine would attend his concert.
However, Grayson hosted these kinds of concerts or performances several times a year. So Catherine hadn’t paid much attention to it.
She hadn’t expected it to coincide with Grayson’s birthday. Catherine realized that it had been a while since she celebrated Grayson’s birthday. Since it was his birthday, Catherine decided to go to the concert.
After Catherine nodded in agreement, Yesenia was overjoyed. She couldn’t believe that Catherine had agreed. “Super Catherine, you’re truly beautiful and kind-hearted. I love you so much! Mwah!”
After Catherine agreed, the class time was approaching, and Yesenia prepared to leave. However, she was suddenly grabbed by the collar by Bryan and forcefully pulled back.
Yesenia furrowed her brow and looked at Bryan with an unhappy expression. Her tone was rigid as she asked, “What are you doing?”
Bryan was somewhat awkward, and his voice sounded uneasy. “How many tickets do you have?”
Upon hearing this, Yesenia instantly understood and had a smug look on her face. “So, you want a ticket, huh? No problem. Since you’re a member of the Duncans, I’ll give you one. You’re in luck.”
As Bryan watched Yesenia leave with arrogance, he wanted to give her a good smack. She was so infuriating.
