Chapter 230 Branden’s Girlfriend

Jessica approached Yesenia Duncan and said a few words, causing Yesenia’s face to darken immediately. Yesenia was the girl who had called out to Grayson earlier, and she glared in the direction Catherine had left, displeased.

Yesenia had heard in a fans’ group chat that Grayson was participating in a variety show, so she had done some digging.

So this woman was Catherine, the woman who had unintentionally crushed Yesenia’s image in Grayson’s heart. How could Grayson, whom Yesenia held in such high regard, stoop so low as to accompany an unknown stranger?

Yesenia was furious. She watched as Grayson publicly acknowledged Catherine as his most esteemed person, and it became even harder for her to accept the truth. She couldn’t understand what Catherine had that she didn’t.

Rumors had it that Catherine was nothing more than an abandoned girl from the countryside, brought back by the Swanns. How dare she be so arrogant?

Unable to contain her anger, Yesenia rushed forward and shouted at their retreating figures, “Stop right there!”

Ronin had been irritated by the young girl just now. How dare such a young girl look down on his boss? Was she asking for trouble?

If it weren’t for Catherine’s generosity in not wanting to make a scene, Ronin would have taught this ignorant girl a lesson earlier. And now she dared to chase after them. Did she really think they were pushovers?

Ronin turned around, glaring at Yesenia, and bellowed, “Silly girl, did your parents not teach you manners? When addressing someone older, you should use respectful language. Don’t you even know that? You’re so young, but your manner is so terrible. It seems like you’ve been up to no good. Truly, as the saying goes, ‘ugliness comes from within.’ You should take a good look in the mirror because your face looks hideous right now! With such an ugly appearance, you still want to intimidate us? Do you have any sense of decency?”

Yesenia had initially intended to teach Catherine a lesson, but before she could say anything, Ronin launched a scathing attack, leaving her completely defenseless. Ronin’s sharp tongue was not something an ordinary person could withstand. His harsh words made Yesenia feel like crying.

Loraine, who stood in the middle, couldn’t hold back her anger any longer. Initially, she didn’t think much of Catherine.

Even Grayson, in her opinion, was just a small-time celebrity. Calling him a mere actor wouldn’t be an exaggeration. She held the view that people were divided into different classes, and actors were considered part of the lowest class. How could they compare to nobles like her?

“You ignorant brat!” Loraine cursed inwardly. “How dare you disrespect Yesenia? You’re courting death!”

Loraine stepped forward and grabbed Yesenia, her eyes casting a cold and ominous gaze toward Grayson. Loraine’s voice carried an obvious warning as she spoke.

“Mr. Clifford, these friends of yours have no manners at all. I hope you handle this properly!”

One of the owners of this resort was a loyal pursuer of Loraine. She hadn’t planned on coming here in the first place, but when Yesenia heard that one of the owners was Grayson, Yesenia insisted on coming, and Loraine decided to come with her.

Although Yesenia wasn’t a direct descendant of the Duncans, she was the only girl in her generation and was favored by Karl. Even Branden treated her well. That was why Loraine always had her by her side.

Now that Yesenia had been bullied, Loraine had to stand up for her and let Yesenia feel her charm.

Although Loraine didn’t know how Grayson managed to get acquainted with Yesenia, she was certain that Grayson wouldn’t dare to offend her. After all, he was just a small-time celebrity with some popularity, not comparable to the true aristocratic Sanfords.

Grayson glanced at her, knowing that she was Loraine Sanford, the only daughter of the Sanfords, a true heiress who was pampered and held in high regard. If Loraine had offended someone else, he wouldn’t say much. But now, she was offending Catherine, which was definitely unacceptable! He wouldn’t let anyone insult his boss!

Grayson looked at Loraine with a cold expression and said, “Miss Sanford, I’m sorry, but I cannot fulfill your request.”

When Loraine heard this, her expression became highly unpleasant. She didn’t expect that what Grayson said next would be the source of her anger.

Grayson said coldly, “And Miss Sanford, I ask that you apologize to my most esteemed guest for your improper words and actions.”

Catherine crossed her arms and calmly observed the changing expressions on everyone’s faces. It was truly fascinating. This show was much more entertaining than the resort itself.

Loraine stared at Grayson in disbelief, her eyes wide open, what she was hearing. unable to believe Jessica stepped forward and bellowed, Grayson, have you gone mad? How dare you go against Yesenia for the sake of a disaster?”

After speaking, she turned her attention towards Catherine. “Indeed, you are a disaster. Whoever is with you gets unlucky. Do you even know who Yesenia is? She is Branden’s girlfriend. How dare you offend her? Now both you and Grayson are done, do you understand?”

Loraine glanced at Jessica with displeasure in her eyes. “Jessica!”

Jessica stepped back, not daring to show any annoyance. She looked extremely obedient.

Branden’s girlfriend?

Catherine glanced at Loraine with curiosity. Indeed, Loraine’s appearance fit the type that Branden would be interested in. But why hadn’t she heard of this “girlfriend” before? sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Ronin, who was standing nearby, heard the conversation. He was clearly angrier than Catherine.

“Damn!” he cursed inwardly. “I didn’t expect Branden actually to have a girlfriend! This scumbag already has a woman, yet he still dared to get close to Boss!”

He secretly vowed that the next time he saw this scumbag, he would definitely cripple his legs, no matter the cost. How could Yesenia, who had never experienced such an insult in her life, endure it?

She said to Loraine, “Loraine, don’t waste time talking to them. Just teach them a lesson. Only then will they know their place.”

Loraine agreed. She had never been so embarrassed in her life. She was being condemned by an actor. It was truly ridiculous.

Loraine glanced around and saw that her father had arranged a team of bodyguards to protect her safety. These were top-notch professionals in the industry, many of them former special forces with exceptional combat skills.

With a single gesture of hers, four people emerged from the shadows and respectfully awaited Loraine’s orders. Before Loraine could speak, Yesenia said, “Catch those people for me, except for Grayson!”

The four bodyguards glanced at Loraine, waiting for her approval before taking action. Ronin had been itching for a fight, and now four people were available.

Grayson hadn’t had a chance to fight in a while, so he loosened the buttons on his sleeves, preparing to stretch his muscles.

They exchanged a glance, and the assignments were silently made.

They each would deal with two bodyguards!
