Chapter 577 Help
Zobber was a bit confused when she received a call from Catherine.
“Catherine, are you a mind-reader or something? How did you know we were in trouble?”
Catherine rolled her eyes inwardly upon hearing the excited voice of Zobber on the phone.
“Get to the point!”
Zobber quickly controlled her excitement and obediently explained the situation to Catherine, “Catherine, we’ve indeed got a bit of a problem. We got ambushed by some enemies. Me and Withal are currently on the run from them!
“I don’t know what’s happening, but it feels like someone got the information before us and came to ambush us!”
After she listened to Zobber’s report, Catherine’s gaze gradually sank, and her voice became much colder.
“Got it. I’ll arrange for someone to pick you up!”
Only the members of the Hacker Alliance knew about this opportunity.
Zobber and Withal were two of her most reliable aides. They were very careful and would never let such an oversight happen.
The only possibility was that she had left for too long. Some people were starting to get restless, itching to cause trouble.
It was not difficult to have people help Zobber and Withal out of their predicament. The tricky part was deciding where to send this group of people.
The current situation would be unclear if they were to look for someone from the Hacker Alliance.
They were out in the open while the enemy lurked in the shadows. If they were not careful, they might end up alerting the enemies.
After careful consideration, Catherine thought of Branden.
She took back her phone and went back to the living room.
Branden was still sitting on the sofa in the living room, keeping his posture of working on the computer.
Hearing the sound, he looked up and gently gazed at her.
“Is everything sorted out?”
Catherine shook her head and said her intention directly, “I need to borrow two people.”
“Is Francis and Carlo alright?” Branden replied quite straightforwardly.
He knew that if he didn’t help, Catherine would definitely go herself.
With her abilities, there was naturally no problem.
But the problem was that he didn’t want Catherine to leave. Catherine had trained both of them on Scorpion Island. So, she had some knowledge about them.
Catherine naturally had no objections to Branden arranging for the two to assist Zobber and Withal.
If it weren’t for the fact that she just promised Marshall to do the experiment together, she would have gone herself to bring them back.
“I sent you the coordinates on your phone. Just bring them back!” said Catherine.
Branden sent the coordinates to Francis and ordered him to go with Carlo to bring the people back safely.
With the matter resolved, Catherine gestured to Branden. Branden immediately understood and adjusted his posture to make Catherine comfortable as she lay down.
After Catherine lay down, she adjusted her posture and found a comfortable position to lie in.
Branden gently stroked her cheek and whispered, “There’s a banquet this weekend. Would you like to go together?
With a slight raise of her eyes, Catherine took a long, leisurely look at Branden before finally agreeing. “Okay!
Having known each other for so long, Branden had never taken the initiative to request her presence at any banquet.
Paxton once came to her to complain, saying that Branden was now always coming to her whenever he had time and refused all social engagements, causing the company’s vice president to attend various events and banquets every day like a call girl and complain incessantly.
“There must be a reason why he suddenly wants me to come together,” thought Catherine.
She didn’t think too much about it and just agreed to it.
Seeing that she agreed, Branden revealed a slight smile. “Take a break. I’ll go get you something to eat.”
Catherine nodded slightly, took out her phone, leaned back comfortably on the recliner, and started playing games.
At the University of Penny, Liana had become the most outstanding freshman in the field of finance this year, while Bryan was on par with her.
The university forum elected both of them as the most photogenic couple.
When Bryan learned about this, the forum rankings were over, and his expression was even darker than if he had eaten a fly.
It was a rare occasion when the whole department was doing an activity together today. Bryan’s roommate was absolutely amazed when he saw Liana and couldn’t help but gossip about it with Bryan.
“Bryan, I heard you and Liana went to the same school and were even in the same class. So, does that mean you could be considered childhood sweethearts? Is there a possibility for a romantic relationship in the future?”
“Hmph!” Bryan snorted with disdain. ” Thanks, but don’t ever put me together with this kind of person. It’s okay if you scold me, but I won’t accept being humiliated like this!”
Everyone looked at the usually quiet and reserved Bryan and was stunned when he said these words.
“What do you mean by that, Bryan?”
Bryan glanced in Liana’s direction and coldly said, “What do I mean? You’ll understand it later.
“And also, don’t be a person of narrow view. Go out and explore the world, There are so many better ones than this.
“Is there anyone more outstanding than Liana?” Bryan’s roommate looked at him with a face full of surprise, as if he couldn’t believe Bryan.
After all, Liana was really impressive and able to enter the prestigious University of Penny, which was essentially a symbol of excellence.
There were hundreds of thousands of people taking the exam every year, but only a few elite ones could make it to the University of Penny.
“The thing was, Liana not only studies well, but she is also good-looking. I heard that she comes from a prestigious family background as a daughter of a wealthy family, and she is skilled at playing musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
“This kind of talent is like the cream of the crop,” Bryan’s roommate thought.
Bryan looked at his roommate with an air of superiority and raised his eyebrows. “Of course. Let me tell you about my boss, Catherine. Three Liana wouldn’t be enough for her to defeat single-handedly.
“She is a science genius. She got the highest grades and was specially admitted to Styre University.”
Upon hearing such lavish praise from Bryan, everyone was filled with excitement and anticipation.
“Is she really that outstanding?” they asked.
“Come on. Why would I fool you? There’s no benefit in lying to you. Anyone with half a brain can easily distinguish the difference between Catherine and Liana. There is a world of difference between them. One is in the sky, while the other is on the ground. There is no comparison!”
Bryan didn’t even notice that Liana happened to walk by when he said that.
Liana was just standing beside him and listened attentively to every word he said.
His roommate quietly tugged on Bryan’s sleeve. Noticing something was wrong, Bryan turned around to take a look.
Upon seeing the darkened face of Liana, he instantly understood everything in his heart.
He shrugged nonchalantly, taking full responsibility for his own words.
He had been pissed off with Liana for a long time. “This chick thought she could mess with Catherine just because they were related by blood. And now she won’t even let him say a few words? “he thought.
“Hmph!” Bryan stared coldly and laughed at Liana with a cocky look. ” What, am I not allowed to speak the truth now?”
Liana was staring at him with a fierce look as if she wanted to stab Bryan.
She thought going to a different university from Catherine would ease her troubles, but she still couldn’t get rid of Catherine.
She totally hated Catherine!
She hated that Catherine kept lingering around, hated that Catherine appeared. “Catherine is a real disaster,” she thought.
