Chapter 82 The Birthday Party
Audrey had changed since that day, saying that she wanted to concentrate on her career and had not bothered Catherine ever after.
Catherine felt relieved at first. After all, Audrey was a clingy sister. But as days passed, Catherine started to feel her life dull.
Bryan was surprised that Catherine did not sleep on the desk today.
After what had happened last time, their teachers would not prohibit Catherine from sleeping.
Even though she slept every day, Catherine still got the highest scores in their grade. She was way more intelligent than those teachers, and they had nothing to teach her anymore, so they
let her be.
Bryan thought it unusual that Catherine did not doze. He observed Catherine and saw the eyebrows on her beautiful face slightly furrowed. Something must have happened.
Catherine was not in the mood!
After thinking it through, Bryan made a decision.
“Boss, my birthday is on this weekend. I’ll hold a birthday party at home. Do I have the honor to have you at my party?”
Bryan looked at Catherine expectantly, looking forward to her response.
Catherine did not want to refuse him under his expectant eyes.
Catherine thought about her schedule and realized she had no plans for this weekend, so she nodded in agreement.
Bryan just wanted to give it a shot. He did not think Catherine would It was such an ecstasy for Bryan.
agree,
but Catherine did!
“Thank you, Boss! I promise you will have fun at my birthday party!”
Bryan stood up and trotted out of the classroom.
Catherine stared at Bryan running away and frowned in confusion.
She thought, “It’s his birthday. Why should I have fun?”
Meanwhile, at the Duncans’.
Karl saw the butler come to him with a grin and was curious.
“Why are you smiling? Something good happened?”
The butler answered with his back bent, “Mr. Bryan called just now and said he would hold a birthday party this weekend. He asked us to prepare in advance.”
Karl mumbled disgruntledly with a slight frown. “I asked if he wanted a party last week, and he said no. Why did he call to ask for a party today? That’s odd.
“Alright. If he wants it, he can have it. Just do as he said.”
Bryan was in bliss because Catherine had accepted his invitation. David and other classmates knew about it and asked to attend the party too. At last, the entire Class 8 was invited to the
Duncans’ on the weekend.
It was immaterial to Catherine since the birthday boy was Bryan, and she only attended the party as a formality.
The phone in her pocket vibrated. Catherine did not pick it up until she left the classroom.
A plaintive came from the other end of the phone, “Boss, I’m bored to death at the base alone.
”
Catherine had assumed that Ronin had news to inform her, but it turned out that he was complaining about the boredom. She said sternly, “Ronin, are you looking for a beating?”
The harsh voice sent a chill down Ronin’s spine through the receiver. He shuddered and broke into a sweat. He believed Catherine was about to lose her temper, which would be a disaster.
But he would die of boredom if he stayed at the base longer.
Therefore, Ronin had to risk his life and put forward his request.
“Boss, I want to go to the school.”
Catherine hated trouble. She could barely tolerate Bryan, but if Ronin went to the same school
with her…
“No. You stay at the base.”
Ronin, who always listened to Catherine, was determined this time. “No, Boss. I want to go.”
Catherine rolled her eyes and said with resignation, “Fine. Whatever you like.”
“Thank you so much, Boss!”
After expressing gratitude, Ronin immediately ended the call. He was afraid that Catherine would really be mad at him if he were on the phone one more second.
The days flew by. It was soon weekend and came Bryan’s birthday.
The birthday parties were usually held in the afternoon, so Catherine did not get up until noon.
When she left her room, she saw Liana, dressed decently, walking downstairs. Liana wore a formal dress of a posh brand and delicate makeup, which must have cost her several hours to get ready.
As Liana stepped down, she saw Catherine coming upstairs from the basement.
Unlike her, Catherine was dressed casually in a T-shirt and a pair of black trousers, and Liana smirked inwardly at Catherine’s casualness.
They had to wear school uniforms on weekdays, and Liana did not have a chance to show her beauty.
Now that she could go to Bryan’s birthday party, she must seize the chance to tell the world. that she was the real lady of the Swanns. She got up early and asked her mother to arrange for the best stylists to do styling for her.
The stylists she hired were those who served the A-list celebrities. Liana needed to take people’s breath away today.
Her mother knew Liana was going to the Duncans’ and bought her a set of pricey diamond necklaces.
Liana had been fretting that Catherine would spend time dolling up for Bryan’s party. Now she could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Catherine leaned back on a sofa lazily, eyelids drooped, looking sleepy.
When Liana walked past Catherine, she paused for a while and said in a low voice on purpose, Catherine, it’s time for me to meet my friends. It seems you’re not ready yet. I should go now. You can take a taxi yourself later.”
Liana wanted to go to the party in her family’s best car.
“1
The imaginary scene of her sitting in a luxury car while Catherine took a taxi delighted Liana.
The maids looked at Liana’s triumph and then at Catherine’s drowsiness. They shook their heads secretly.
The two sisters had huge differences.
Liana thought she had dealt Catherine a blow, and Catherine was too down to speak, so she left in grace.
But Liana did not know that Catherine had turned a deaf ear to her words.
Although Catherine had gotten up, her mind was not awake but stupefying.
So she leaned against the sofa and freed her mind.
Thirty minutes later, Catherine was ultimately wide awake.
It was about time. Catherine decided to get dressed and set off to meet Bryan.
At the Duncans’.
The house Bryan lived in was located in an area full of wealthy people in Casier.
It was in the best spot in the district, which showed the high status of the Duncans.
Bryan rarely demanded a birthday party, let alone he asked to get it done well.
The Duncans did an excellent job on it to satisfy Bryan.
They followed Bryan’s will and did not invite any business partners but only Bryan’s classmates and friends of the family.
It was Bryan’s birthday. Of course, he had his
say.
Sincere High School was a school for children from affluent families, and everyone attended the party dressed formally.
They needed to show respect to Bryan as well as the Duncans.
Bryan was wearing a black tuxedo suit today, handsome and dazzling. He stood at the door, staring straight ahead, and was impatient to meet Catherine. He murmured, “Why hasn’t Boss arrived yet?”
Accompanying him was David, who was also dressed in a suit and good-looking. Hearing Bryan’s murmur, David comforted him, “Relax. The best is for the last.”
Bryan thought David’s words made sense.
The next second, David yelled, “There she is! That’s the Swanns’ car. I know that license plate.
