Chapter 172 Catherine was Rude

Branden was still in place without leaving, and Catherine walked over toward him. Seeing her walk

over, the expression on Branden’s handsome face remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

Paxton stood over him. There was a set of cleaning tools in his hands. Branden sidled up to a hot towel

that had just been sterilized. He took Catherine’s hand that was hanging at her side.

Catherine didn’t resist, allowing him to wipe her hands clean with the hot towel. Her gaze followed the

man’s movements, which were gentle but meticulous. He wiped every corner of her hands clean.

Catherine’s hands were fair-skinned and tender, and her palms were soft like that of babies. But at that

moment, her smooth palm had a red mark.

The original simple red mark was a little too red and purple against her fair -skinned palm, and Branden

narrowed his eyes suddenly. Catherine sensed it. She didn’t move, waiting to see what Branden would

say.

His eyebrows furrowed, and his tone showed a hint of heartache. “Next time, you should wrap a piece

of cloth around your palm to protect it. Or else, you can order Paxton to do it for you.”

After saying that, he added, “Although Paxton isn’t as dexterous as you, he wouldn’t be too inferior if

you gave him some suggestions!”

Paxton, who was standing at the side, was somewhat speechless. So, what exactly did he do wrong?

He was okay with being treated as a tool man, but he was compared with others and despised. Wasn’t

it too hard to be a tool man in the world now?

Listening to Branden’s sage advice as if being nagged by a little old man, the corners of Catherine’s

mouth involuntarily curled upward. “I’ll remember it!”

Seeing her speak so obediently, Branden handed Paxton the dirty towel and took her toward the

private room. “It’s great then!”

Aidan was completely stunned! He hadn’t even returned to his senses from the scene where Catherine

had just whipped her brother and was once again shocked by Branden.

God, was this the same Branden he knew?

He froze and turned his head sideways. He stared dully at Triston, who was on the side. His gaze

seemed to ask, “Did you see that?”

Triston laughed sarcastically at the dumbfounded look on Aidan’s face.” You lack of experience. Look

how calm I am! But it’s normal. You’ve spent less time getting together with Branden and haven’t seen

him like this. You’re really making a fuss. You’ll be more experienced in the future. Don’t fuss like a

fool!”

Seeing that he hadn’t responded yet, Triston proudly lectured him. Aidan was flabbergasted by

Triston’s lecture. He didn’t expect that one day, he would be lectured by Triston. It seemed best for him

to stay in Casier!

Those friends who were with Johnathan were all from wealthy families. One of them quietly tugged on

Johnathan’s arm and whispered, “Did you see who those people are? Your

sister doesn’t have a simple background. Luckily, we didn’t follow you to make a move just now.

Otherwise, we might all be finished now!”

Johnathan knew those people. Those people were Triston from the Lamberts, Aidan from the Lanes,

and most importantly, Branden, the head of the Duncans.

Any one of them was a character that could make the people from Casier tremble. Seeing Branden’s

attitude toward Catherine, Johnathan finally understood.

It turned out that Catherine could be so arrogant all because Branden was backing her up. Johnathan

thought in his heart, “I’m not yet powerful. When I inherit the Swanns, I won’t allow them to bully me like

this.”

He would seek revenge sooner or later. Catherine followed Branden, and the others entered the private

room before realizing someone else was inside the room.

Branden took the initiative to help her pull out a chair. This simple action caused everyone in the private

room to change their gazes and attitudes toward her. Could an ordinary person have Branden

personally pull out a chair for her?

Aidan used a little trickery to get Triston away for a while. When Triston returned, he found that Aidan

had taken the seat beside Catherine. He gritted his teeth and cursed Aidan in his heart.

Aidan, the son of a bitch, was really devious. Aidan was very curious about Catherine. It was rare to

see a girl with good looks and personality.

She was simply the typical beautiful and valiant beauty that people liked. However, the liking he had for

Catherine was pure admiration. He didn’t have the guts to steal Branden’s woman.

Seeing Catherine lazily leaning against the chair without saying anything, Aidan took the initiative to

find a topic to talk to Catherine about.

“Catherine, judging from your actions just now, you’ve practiced fighting?” Hearing his voice, Catherine

tilted her head to look at him. Her eyes looked expressionless. She answered with one word in a cold

voice, which almost froze Aidan. “No!”

She was such a cold girl, which made Aidan feel so . Aidan had been invincible with women all

his life, and it was the first time he had been treated like that.

The food was ready. Because Triston knew Catherine was coming, he arranged for the kitchen to add

some spicy dishes. During the meal, Aidan watched Catherine the entire time. He would talk to

Catherine every chance he got.

Catherine didn’t want to talk most of the time but managed one sentence or two now and then. Finally,

when Aidan asked another question, Catherine got impatient.

With a tilt of her head toward Aidan, she said, “Is the food Mr. Lambert arranged bad, or is it that even

the food in your mouth can’t shut you up?”

Her words shocked everyone present. Gosh, she was talking to Aidan! Aidan felt a bit aggrieved. He

was from the famous Lanes. It was the first time in his life that he had been treated like this. Most

importantly, it was a woman who had treated him like this.

Aidan was very aggrieved inside.

He was too miserable!

Triston watched from the side. He almost laughed out loud. He couldn’t help but give Catherine a

thumbs up before teasing Aidan. “Did you hear that? If you don’t like the food I ordered, say it. Don’t

disturb Catherine. You’re annoying!”

Aidan looked at Branden aggrievedly. They had been brothers for many years, and he hoped Branden

could give him justice. After all, Catherine was his woman. Unexpectedly, Branden snorted coldly and

said three words.

“You deserve it!”

Aidan was completely aggrieved. He had only been away from Casier for a few years. Why did he

receive such treatment now?

The rest of the people who didn’t know the situation were all secretly sizing up Catherine. They thought

that the person who dared not respect Aidan at the dinner table would have tragic consequences.

Unexpectedly, nothing happened to Catherine.

Triston was trying to speak for her, and the point was that Branden was also protecting her as if she

was his treasure. Who the hell was this woman?

How could she be so arrogant?

Catherine felt as if nothing had happened. She leaned back in her chair with an unparalleled

domineering posture. After she was full, she put down her fork and said, “I’m full. Shall we leave?”

There were rules at the dining table. If the person with the most honorable status at the dining table

hadn’t started eating, no one could take the first bite of the food.

Similarly, if the most honorable person at the dining table did not stand up to leave, whoever dared to

stand up and leave first would be considered breaking the rules.

In the eyes of the others, Catherine was too rude. They were waiting to see her being punished.
