Chapter 214 An Unusual Meal

Catherine was taken aback when she received a call from Triston. Usually, it was Branden who

accompanied her, and Triston rarely called her alone. Triston’s voice sounded a bit strange. Catherine,

school’s over, right?”

Catherine didn’t have time for his nonsense and interrupted him directly, “Get to the point!”

Triston didn’t dare to act rashly, and he immediately became obedient. ” Catherine, it’s not me who

wanted to call you. Aidan forced me to call you. He wants to invite you to dinner tonight but is too afraid

to call himself, so he asked me to do it.”

Aidan, who was standing nearby, almost rushed up to strangle Triston. When Triston had just received

a car from him, Triston said everything was on him. But now, Triston sold him out.

“You’re driving me crazy, you idiot!” Aidan cursed inwardly. Catherine paused for a moment and made a

decision the next second. ”

Alright.” Triston thanked her profusely and hung up the phone, then turned to face Aidan’s eyes full of

hatred. Triston coldly said, “What are you looking at? Isn’t everything settled? What else do you have to

complain about? If you think you’re a tough guy, call her yourself!”

Aidan could only hold back his anger. Fortunately, Catherine agreed. Otherwise, he was really worried

that he wouldn’t be able to control himself and kill Triston on the spot!

Catherine hung up the phone and left school. Both Triston and Aidan were Branden’s friends.

Otherwise, Branden wouldn’t have taken her to meet them. Since they wanted to invite her to dinner,

she decided to go. She had already faced danger head-on, so what was there to fear?

However, Catherine didn’t expect that as soon as she stepped out of the school gate, she saw that

familiar car.

Catherine walked straight towards the car. Branden got out of the car, opened the door, and helped

Catherine sit inside. “Did you also receive a call from Triston?” she asked. Branden nodded slowly. “I

told him to call you himself!”

Triston didn’t dare to privately contact Catherine without Branden’s permission. He would be in big

trouble if he accidentally got accused of trying to snatch Mr. Duncan’s girl. Catherine responded

indifferently, “I heard Aidan requested to invite me to dinner?”

“Yeah!” Before Catherine could ask further, Branden explained. “The Lanes have some distant

relationship with the Blatons.”

With this statement, Catherine understood everything. Casier might be a big city, but the upper social

circles were limited to these people. They liked to engage in arranged marriages and alliances, so

hearing about someone related to another family was common.

Since Catherine had known the other party’s intentions, she didn’t have to ask anymore. She was tired.

She hadn’t rested in the afternoon and was feeling exhausted. She lazily leaned back in the chair and

didn’t want to move.

The seats in Branden’s car were comfortable, especially the backrest. It was just the right balance of

softness and firmness. Not bad!

Seeing her sleeping like a tired little cat, Branden reached out and pulled her into his arms, allowing her

to lean against him.

“Rest for a bit. We still have some traffic ahead. I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”

“Okay!” Catherine lazily hummed, adjusted herself to a comfortable position, and showed no

politeness.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a grand restaurant. Branden had initially planned for

Catherine to rest, but after the car came to a stop, she woke up on her own. She groggily opened her

eyes, still dazed from just waking up, without her usual coldness and distance.

“We’re here?”

“Yeah!” Branden grunted, picked up a hot towel from the side, and handed it to her. Catherine never

wore makeup, so after waking up, she refreshed herself by wiping her face with the hot towel. She

instantly felt rejuvenated.

Once she was ready, Branden took her hand and led her out of the car. Inside the private room, four or

five people were already sitting, seemingly waiting for Catherine and Branden.

When Triston and Aidan saw the two of them, they immediately stood up. Aidan eagerly stepped

forward and took over the waiter’s job, helping to pull out chairs for Catherine and Branden.

“Mr. Duncan, Catherine, you’ve finally arrived. Please take your seats!” Catherine lazily glanced at him

and said nonchalantly, “Mr. Lane, you’re being polite today!”

A simple sentence made Aidan’s heart skip a beat, and he thought something was off. He didn’t dare to

say much and could only force a smile, awkwardly laughing. “Oh, it’s my honor to serve you,

Catherine!”

He felt bitter inside but couldn’t express it. He regretted having such a foolish relative from the Blatons.

The Lewises, on the other hand, were shrewd and had already distanced themselves, keeping

themselves out of trouble.

As for Aidan, he had to fix all these problems by himself! After Catherine and Branden took their seats,

the dinner began. After exchanging a glance with Triston, Aidan didn’t immediately speak, following

Triston’s hint.

From the moment Catherine entered the private room, she felt a gaze fixed on her. She shook her head

and raised her eyes, meeting the unflinching stare across from her. She smirked and didn’t respond.

Seeing that Catherine didn’t throw a fit, Terrance secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was his first time

seeing a woman with such a terrifying gaze, especially one so young and seemingly underage. It was

hard to imagine that such a young girl could be so fearsome when she got physical!

After his brother was sent to the hospital, the doctor said his legs were shattered, making it extremely

difficult for him to stand, and his arms were completely broken.

The doctor couldn’t believe that a girl could have such strength, as even a normal adult man wouldn’t

possess it, let alone a bookish girl.

But that was the reality. With so many people witnessing it firsthand, it was evident how terrifying

Catherine truly was.

Seeing Aidan remain silent, Terrance grew anxious. His wife was Aidan’s cousin, and this time, he had

to swallow his pride and ask his wife’s family for help to invite Aidan here. Otherwise, who would dare

take the risk of offending the Duncans?

Now, the Blatons were on the verge of collapse, and every minute he spent here felt like torture. He

was so anxious, utterly devoid of his usual calm and composure.

Terrance heard that there was a mysterious power behind Catherine, and they had already reached an

agreement with his father, sparing the Blatons. But just because they spared the Blatons didn’t mean

Branden would let the Blatons off the hook.

Terrance had gathered information about what happened that night and knew exactly what that bastard

had done and said.

Catherine was Branden’s woman, but that bastard had dared to say such things to her. How could

Branden let the Blatons off the hook?

Now, he didn’t hope that the Duncans would let go. He only hoped they would not eradicate the

Blatons, for Aidan’s sake.
