Chapter 229 Kept by a Wealthy Woman
Bryan stopped the car, and Ronin made. a gesture, signaling him not to speak. Bryan’s hand froze in
an instant. He slowly turned back and sat quietly in his seat, not even daring to open the door for fear
of disturbing Catherine’s rest.
Grayson saw that they hadn’t gotten out of the car and looked through the window to see Catherine
leaning against the seat. His view was obstructed, preventing him from seeing inside the car clearly.
Despite this, he could still guess what was happening. He stopped in his tracks, standing in place, not
approaching.
Bryan squinted at Grayson standing in front, a top-tier celebrity who was usually surrounded by
countless fans waiting for him day and night. Now, he willingly stood there, waiting for Catherine to
wake up. It was evident how powerful Catherine’s charm was,. as it unconsciously evoked a sense of
awe and respect for her in people’s hearts.
Catherine hadn’t been asleep for long. After the sound of the car engine completely ceased, she slowly
opened her eyes.
Ronin had been attending to Catherine. As soon as she woke up, he lowered his voice, saying softly,
“Boss, would you like to sleep a little longer?”
Recently, he had noticed that Catherine had been sleeping less during class. Although he didn’t know
the reason, he believed that she had her own purpose for doing so.
Ronin was more concerned about Catherine’s health because, as a genius, her brain consumed
energy quickly. She would easily become fatigued. She often needed more rest. He was worried that
lack of sleep for long periods would have an impact on her health.

Catherine simply found the journey boring, so she closed her eyes and rested for a while. It was not
because she was tired. Now that they had arrived, it was time for her to wake up. Otherwise, it would
be a waste to come all the way here for nothing.
“No need, let’s go!” Catherine ordered, pushing open the car door and getting out. Grayson stood in
front of her, wearing a smile on his face.
“Boss, was the journey tiring?”
Catherine slowly raised her head, a hint of a sneer in her eyes and a slight hint of mockery on her lips.
“I’m not that old. It’s just a short journey. How could it be tiring?”
Grayson awkwardly scratched his head. Seeing Catherine sleeping in the car and Ronin not allowing
anyone to disturb her, he thought she must have been exhausted from the recent development of the
base project.
Catherine was a once-in-a-century genius. She guided and participated in many research projects.
Research projects that contributed to the future development of humanity required a great deal of
effort, and even someone like Catherine often found herself physically exhausted.
In addition, Catherine was stubborn and would not give up until she conquered a difficult problem. Over
the years, this led to health issues, such as chronic low blood sugar. However, despite her lazy posture,
her eyes were full of vitality and fierceness. She didn’t seem tired at all. After observing her for a while,
Grayson felt relieved.
“Boss, let me show you around!”
Catherine nodded slightly, and Grayson excitedly walked ahead, followed by Ronin. Bryan received a
sudden phone call and didn’t catch up with them, saying he would join them later.
This resort was located in a scenic area near Casier, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with high
oxygen levels in the air, making it perfect for a vacation. Moreover, it had abundant hot spring
resources, so it was evident that Grayson had truly made a name for himself by securing this project.
The entertainment industry was not like it used to be. In the current capital- dominated entertainment
industry, those who had financial backing had the final say. Whoever had capital support could rise to
the top.
Since Grayson’s debut, there were always rumors about his background. There were even rumors
claiming that a wealthy woman kept him and that this mysterious woman had richly funded his debut.
In the first few years, these rumors spread widely and seemed genuine. Especially when Grayson got
out of a luxury car one time, the paparazzi captured a blurry figure that could only be identified as a
woman.
This photo was later hailed as solid evidence of Grayson being kept by a wealthy woman.
Fortunately, Grayson overcame this scandal and used his talent to debunk all the rumors. He became
the fastest- rising young actor and eventually reached the top.
Grayson was very smart. He understood that as a celebrity, he would always be controlled by capital.
So he took the initiative to engage with capital, integrate himself into it, and befriend those wealthy
young men.
This resort was one of the investment projects he undertook with those wealthy young men. With their
endorsement and his fame, this resort would undoubtedly become a highly sought-after luxury item,
with limited availability for the rich.
Grayson arranged the best treatment for Catherine and acted as her personal tour guide. “Boss, the
basement is the leisure room. Behind it is the hot spring pool with public and private areas. I have
arranged a private one for you. You can try it later.”
The basement leisure area had everything one could imagine, with various entertainment projects that
could fulfill any desire.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmToday, the resort had a trial opening, and Grayson invited Catherine and the others here. Grayson’s
business partners invited a group of wealthy young men and women to come and have fun, hoping to
increase its fame within the industry.
“Wow, isn’t that Grayson?”
A sudden female voice caught the attention of Grayson and the others. They all turned to look and saw
a group of girls standing far away, one of whom looked familiar. Jessica was among them, but this time,
she wasn’t standing in the center but instead on the side.
In the middle stood a girl wearing a pale yellow chiffon dress. Her appearance was not particularly
stunning, but she exuded an air of sophistication and elegance. She was the kind of exquisitely
beautiful woman that one would notice at a glance. In her every move, it was evident that she came
from a wealthy family. One of the girls in their group called out to Grayson. When she saw Catherine,
she frowned.
She scrutinized Catherine, who was dressed casually without any famous logos on her clothes. It
seemed like they were not custom-made, which made the girl somewhat disdainful of Catherine.
“Who is she? Why is she standing next to Grayson and even letting him be her tour guide?”
The girl’s voice was loud, and Catherine immediately noticed her. That girl’s beautiful eyes were filled
with innocence. She looked younger than others. Having been born into a wealthy family, she carried
an air of arrogance and petulance. If there were no intervention, she would truly become insufferable in
the future.
Grayson’s expression turned sour. He didn’t expect to encounter this group of wealthy young women.
He didn’t want them to ruin Catherine’s mood, so he hesitated to say something. But Catherine spoke
up. “Let’s go. I wanna explore over there!”
Grayson respectfully nodded and said, ” Alright, Boss!”
Catherine’s attempt to be polite didn’t bring about peace. Instead, it only made those young ladies
angrier.
