Chapter 277 Center of Attention

In response to Loraine’s inquiry, Catherine chuckled. “No worries. Next time you encounter me, you can apologize to me again!”

Hearing this, Yesenia, standing behind Catherine, burst into laughter. Catherine’s words were truly ruthless! She knew well how to infuriate people without using any foul language.

The mockery and laughter from the crowd left Loraine feeling utterly humiliated. She never expected that Catherine, a country girl, would have some tricks up her sleeve and such a sharp tongue, making her so embarrassed.

Loraine’s face had become extremely dark, and if she hadn’t forced herself to remain composed, she would have probably collapsed long ago. She gritted her teeth. “Well, I’m looking forward to our next meeting!”

Next time, she would make Catherine kneel and apologize to her. Catherine smiled faintly. “Sure!”

“Hmph!” Loraine snorted coldly and left in a huff. She stomped her high heels so hard on the floor that it seemed like she was creating craters. It was evident just how angry she was this time.

After Loraine left, Yesenia skipped over to Catherine’s side, looking at her with admiration in her eyes.

“Catherine, why are you so amazing? You effortlessly defeated the number one socialite in Casier. I can tell that Loraine was so infuriated by you that her carefully crafted facade of the past decade is about to crumble.”

Loraine was not only famous in Casier but also ranked highly on the national socialite list.

Yesenia’s elders used to encourage her to learn from Loraine, not only to improve herself but also to enhance the Duncans’ reputation. She had intended to communicate with Loraine, as Loraine rarely put on airs in front of her.

But after knowing Catherine, she suddenly changed her mind and realized how naive and foolish she used to be.

“Catherine, aren’t you afraid of Loraine morally manipulating you? I feel like every word she said was meant to praise herself while taunting you,” Yesenia asked sincerely. Catherine responded, “As long as I set aside my morals, no one can ever manipulate me!”

After Catherine finished speaking, Branden pulled her towards the private room, saying, “Let’s eat!”

Yesenia stood dumbfounded behind them, her face full of astonishment. Catherine was so cool! She was truly amazing!

Yesenia admired her so much that when she finally came to her senses, Catherine was already almost inside the private room. She hurriedly caught up, saying, “Super Catherine, wait for me!”

Grayson, who was left behind, stared at the hand holding Catherine’s, lost in thought. The moment Branden appeared, he completely lost his presence.

Countless people had told him that he was a superstar. And he had once lost himself, thinking that he was capable enough to stand by Catherine’s side. But Branden’s appearance made him. realize how insignificant he was.

He hated this feeling! Even though he knew it was impossible, he still didn’t want to let go. Seeing Grayson standing in the lobby in a daze, Ronin spoke up.

“Grayson, why are you still standing there like a fool? Boss and the others have already gone into the private room. I ordered a birthday cake for you. Chestnut flavor, by the way. You and Boss love it, don’t you? Hurry up and come!”

Grayson smiled. He thought Ronin was so lucky. If only he could be as simple as Ronin, who treated Catherine as nothing more than family.

He used to dislike everything with a chestnut flavor, but later, he knew that Catherine loved it. Slowly, the chestnut flavor became his favorite taste. There was only one reason-she liked it!

The next day, Catherine arrived at class, and as expected, she became the center of attention once again. The incident of Grayson’s concert yesterday quickly spread on the internet.

Although Grayson said it was gratitude, his tone was too ambiguous, and everyone was speculating about the relationship between Catherine and Grayson. Some even thought that Grayson liked Catherine.

Grayson was currently a popular idol, and posts containing rumors about him were joked about as “menstrual posts.” Basically, there would be a new post about him every month, indicating he was dating another woman.

However, time had proven that those rumors were all orchestrated by the women involved, just to gain attention. But this time was different. Grayson was the one who said those ambiguous words first. The fans didn’t know the truth, so various speculations spread all over the internet.

Catherine pulled out a chair and sat down, adjusting herself into a comfortable position, not paying attention to anyone. She exuded an aura that made people dare not approach her.

Although her classmates were curious, no one dared to ask Catherine directly. They could only secretly hide in the corners, observing her every move.

Liana was one of them, of course. She hated the sight of Catherine showing off in class, and now she only wanted to see Catherine in a sorry state.

Thinking of her mother’s instructions, Liana followed closely behind Catherine as Catherine walked out of the classroom.

“Catherine, stop!” she shouted, but her aggressive attitude didn’t make Catherine stop in her tracks. Liana stomped her foot in frustration. Catherine was walking so fast, making it difficult for Liana to catch up with her.

Unable to catch up, Liana had to use a different tone to call out to Catherine, Catherine, wait. I have something to tell you!”

This time, Catherine stopped in her tracks. She turned around, squinting her eyes and tilting her chin up. With her hands in her pockets, she stared at Liana.

Her rebellious and arrogant demeanor made Liana tremble with anger. Liana angrily questioned her, “You heard me calling you, didn’t you? Why didn’t you stop?”

Catherine, however, didn’t even say a word. Hearing Liana’s angry words, she turned around once again. Liana knew that Catherine was using her actions to threaten her. If she wanted to talk to Catherine, she had to follow Catherine’s rules and speak properly.

Liana stomped her foot in frustration, but there was nothing she could do. She knew how stubborn Catherine was, and for the sake of what was to come, she had to compromise, “Catherine, please stop. I have something to tell you!”

Although Liana’s tone had softened, Catherine still didn’t pay any attention to her. Watching Catherine walk further away, Liana could only apologize obediently, It’s my fault. I’m sorry, okay? I apologize for my behavior earlier.”

After she finished speaking, Catherine finally turned around, still in the same posture as before. With a cold gaze, she looked at Liana, expressionless.” What’s the matter?”

Liana didn’t want to say much to Catherine, but she had to complete her task.

“Catherine, everyone is going to Grandma’s house today. There will be a car picking us up after school, Remember not to be late!”

Seeing Catherine’s indifferent attitude, Liana couldn’t help but ask again, “Did you hear me?”

Without looking back, Catherine left, leaving Liana fuming with anger.
