Chapter 203 Catherine’s Rules

After Catherine left the classroom, her phone rang once again. It was an unfamiliar number. But it had special symbols, which was rare. With one glance, she instantly recognized the caller.

She casually pressed the answer button and held the phone to her ear. From the noise on the other end, it seemed that the caller was extremely cautious and even surprised that the call was answered.

“Wow. The call went through. Is it Sugar?”

As Catherine spoke, her voice had changed. It was deep and husky, like a man’s smoky voice. No one would believe that this voice belonged to such a charming young lady.

“Speak!”

Catherine replied with a single word in a tone filled with a powerful presence. On the other end, the caller’s voice sounded excited but he managed to restrain himself.

“Sugar, the black market is offering 100 million dollars for your expertise, and a few of the top hackers will work with you.”

“Who?” Catherine asked succinctly. The caller replied, “Sugar, it was an anonymous order.” Catherine frowned. Her eyes were cold and terrifyingly chilling. “Don’t they know my rules?”

Even though they were on the phone, the person on the other end of the line was so scared. He realized that the rumors were true. Sugar was indeed a fearsome figure.

According to the rumors, this mysterious top-tier hacker, Sugar, was exceptionally skilled, ruthless, and utterly cold-blooded. If someone dared to cross Sugar, he would get into big trouble.

“But, they…”

Before he could finish, Catherine cut him off abruptly. She said, “If there is a next time, I’ll make you disappear from this world.”

With her assertive words, she promptly hung up the phone. After the conversation, Catherine felt somewhat agitated.

She had her own rules when it came to her business dealings. Making money was fine, but the money had to from a clean source. Regardless of who they are, they had to identify themselves first.

Catherine does not accept anonymous orders. Anyone who dared to break her rules was courting their demise. After she put her phone away, she turned and saw Ronin walking straight toward her. Bryan walked steadily behind Ronin. He moved with a calm and unhurried pace.

Bryan had grown up in the Duncans’ and was practically raised by Karl himself. There was a hint of Branden’s composure in him.

Compared to Ronin, who was a playful young lad, Bryan was much more mature,Catherine gave them a cold look, which scared Ronin. He realized he had forgotten about it again.

Every time Bryan teased him, he couldn’t help but lose his temper. Despite knowing that Catherine despised disturbances, Ronin couldn’t help himself. As such, he could only come over to apologize sincerely. He said, “Boss, we were wrong. We won’t make a fuss again.”

Catherine didn’t trust him at all. Ronin had always kept his promises to her in the past. But since he encountered Bryan, he couldn’t control himself.

Ronin glanced at Catherine’s expression before lowering his head in guilt. Compared to Ronin, Bryan was much more straightforward. He said to Catherine, “Boss, we’ve gone through this piece. It feels perfect for our duo. I think I’ll be able to master it quickly. How about we find a time to rehearse it?

Catherine had tailored this piece of music for these two and Catherine made special adjustments to Bryan’s part. While Bryan could ensure pitch accuracy, he sometimes struggled with maintaining a sense of rhythm.

Therefore, Catherine made adjustments specifically for him, which made him feel that the song perfectly suited him.

“There’s no rush for it. You guys should practice for another night, and we’ll schedule a full dress rehearsal tomorrow.”

Upon hearing Catherine’s answer, Bryan didn’t press further. He understood that once Catherine made a decision, it wouldn’t change.

Moreover, one of Catherine’s remarkable qualities was her ability to see the big picture. Although some of her decisions seemed bizarre at first glance, they ultimately prove that Catherine had been right all along. Therefore, Bryan simply followed Catherine’s orders obediently. Nothing would go wrong.

However, Ronin sensed another meaning behind this. “Boss, do have plans for tonight?” you Ronin had been by Catherine’s side from a young age, and no one understood her better than he did.

Catherine nodded and turned to look at Ronin. “I promised Audrey to pick her up tonight.”

“Alright.”

After hearing that, Ronin responded reluctantly. He was starting to envy Audrey. In the past, Catherine favored him solely. But now Catherine favored her older sister, another man, and even Bryan. Ronin was quite upset about it.

Catherine had had enough of the wind. on the rooftop and felt cold. At that moment, she suddenly remembered a certain man’s repeated advice. He said, “Girls shouldn’t expose themselves to the cold. It’s not good for health.”

With a single hand to support herself, Catherine gracefully leaped down from the high platform and strode away. Ronin realized something and muttered, “Did Boss just smile?”

Bryan looked at him with disdain and wanted to retort. However, Bryan remembered that Catherine didn’t like them arguing, so he held his tongue. He gave Ronin a disdainful look and followed Catherine.

After school, Catherine rode her motorcycle to Audrey’s filming location. Audrey had been complaining all evening since they hadn’t been able to go out for a barbecue last night.

Catherine promised to pick her up tonight and accompany her to have a barbecue. As soon as she parked her motorcycle, Catherine felt eyes on her from behind. She had intended to enter the building, but she shifted her body and walked toward a nearby alley.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness, casual yet domineering. Once inside the alley, Catherine went straight to the darkest corner. In the next moment, a gust of wind swept by. Catherine remained calm. She even didn’t blink.

If it was any other ordinary person, he might have screamed and fled long ago. A tall figure completely obscured Catherine and radiated a menacing aura.

The next second, the tall figure suddenly knelt on one knee and lowered his head. He knelt before Catherine in an extremely submissive manner.

“Boss, there’s something I need to report to you.”

“Speak!” Catherine spoke up coldly.Joseph dared to speak only after receiving the permission to do so. He continued, “Boss, Miss Audrey was harassed today. I’ve identified the harasser. He’s the son of an investor in this drama. He had come to visit his girlfriend before he ran into Miss Audrey by accident. He was promptly stopped by Miss Swann’s agent but I think he won’t let this matter go.”

Although Joseph betrayed the organization, Catherine didn’t punish him as she felt that his actions were for a good reason. However, there were rules within the organization.

Catherine could spare Joseph’s life. However, Joseph couldn’t return to the organization. It was the rules that everyone in the organization must adhere to.

Joseph appreciated the leniency Catherine showed and requested to stay by her side to work. Then Catherine assigned him to Audrey’s side to protect Audrey.

Audrey was in the entertainment industry. This industry was extremely complex, with many dangers lurking. Catherine couldn’t always be there to watch over Audrey, so she arranged for Joseph to take care of Audrey.

Under normal circumstances, Joseph wouldn’t appear unless there was a threat to Audrey’s life.
