Chapter 237 Yesenia’s Trouble

Mixed emotions plagued Loraine. She had probably never been so embarrassed in her entire life. She

glared at Catherine and forcefully slammed the pool cue she held onto the table. Loraine decided to

endure it.

She gritted her teeth and kept her temper.

“Miss Swann, congratulations!”

Triston and the others were genuinely impressed by Loraine’s composure. They thought she was

indeed something.

But Catherine was even more formidable. She surprised them every time. Catherine stared at Loraine

with a faint smile.

She enjoyed seeing Loraine being helpless while consumed with intense hatred.

“Miss Sanford, thank you for your generosity,” Catherine said. After that, Catherine waved to Grayson,

who stood behind her.

Grayson instantly understood and smiled at Loraine. “Miss Sanford, thanks to you, I am now the largest

shareholder of this resort.”

Originally, the three of them had been partners. Grayson owned a thirty percent stake. The majority

shareholder was Grayson’s wealthy friend with a forty percent stake.

But now, an extra ten percent stake had shifted into Grayson’s hands, which made him the shareholder

with a majority. This simple sentence left Loraine completely unraveled.

She knew that losing her temper at this moment would only make her look worse. Loraine suppressed

her anger. After forcefully placing the pool cue on the table, she left the lounge area.

She made her exit from the crowd’s gaze. Once Loraine had left, Triston and the others enthusiastically

approached Catherine and applauded her.

“Nice job, Catherine!”

Catherine didn’t say much, but Ronin couldn’t contain himself. He exclaimed, “Of course. Boss is

always this amazing. No one can compare to her.”

His proud demeanor made it seem as if he had won the match. Ronin was Catherine’s biggest fan, and

this fact could never be changed. Ronin was happily immersed in his admiration for Catherine.

Aidan was more curious about something else. He looked at Catherine with curiosity and asked,

“Catherine, didn’t you say you’ve never played snooker before, and you didn’t even know the rules?

How did you play so well?

“Are you a snooker prodigy? Do you deliberately pretend to be clueless to mess with Loraine?”

Considering Catherine’s previous disinterest in Loraine, Aidan believed in his speculation, as it seemed

more logical.

It was likely that Catherine deliberately pretended to be clueless to lower Loraine’s guard. Then she

could humiliate Loraine when Loraine least expected it.

The others were equally curious. They watched Catherine to see if she truly matched Aidan’s theory.

Catherine glanced coldly at Aidan, raised her chin disdainfully, and spoke softly yet with a powerful

aura.

“Is it necessary?”

Her tone was dripping with contempt and dominance. She was truly awe- inspiring. After she spoke,

Ronin chimed in, 11 Well. It’s absolutely unnecessary. Just silly of you!”

“Hey, you!” Aidan reached out to hit Ronin, only to hear Grayson beside him say, “Indeed, it’s

absolutely unnecessary.”

Following that, Triston and Bryan also mocked him. Aidan’s face contorted in anger. He just questioned

Catherine, and then he became the enemy of everyone.

Branden reached out, pulled Catherine’s hand from her pocket, and smoothly slipped it into his own

jacket pocket. Catherine raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

However, Branden stared at Catherine earnestly. “My pocket is warmer. Your hands are cold.”

Catherine thought inwardly, “Cold?”

Catherine’s hands were practically sweating, and Branden was talking about them being cold. It was

clear he was just trying to take advantage of her. Branden was doing it with such a righteous tone as if

he were pacifying a child.

Branden led Catherine to the side and sat down. When Catherine wanted to play a game, Branden

became her backrest and allowed Catherine to comfortably lean against him. He pampered Catherine

throughout, which caused envy among the single men, especially Triston.

Triston and Aidan had known Branden for many years. They were witnessing him pampering a girl like

this for the first time. It was almost to an unbearable extent.

As Loraine left, the group of wealthy girls followed her. However, Yesenia stood to the side with a bitter

expression. She appeared torn and conflicted, which was oddly amusing to observe.

After seeing this, Triston approached her and tried to cheer her up. He said, “Yesenia, changing

schools isn’t such a big deal. Why do you look so upset?”

Yesenia glared at Triston with intensity. She thought inwardly, “How can I not feel upset?

“It is like a prison. Like hell.”

Thinking about it, Yesenia felt like she was about to explode. She was in a state of panic. Unable to

bear it any longer, she turned to Triston for help.

“Uncle Triston, you’re closest to Branden. Can you please help me plead with him? I really don’t want

to go.”

This time, it was Triston’s turn to wear a troubled expression. “Yesenia, you’re overestimating me. If I

had that kind of power, would I be living this humble and tough life?”

Although Triston didn’t have that ability, he had a clever mind. He said, “I don’t want to see you suffer. I

can show you a way.”

“Yes!” Yesenia eagerly agreed. Triston discreetly gestured in Catherine’s direction. “Yesenia, this

person is your savior. Just look at how much Branden dotes on her. With just a few words, she can

handle everything.”

Yesenia thought for a moment and realized the logic behind it. Indeed, Branden lavished Catherine with

care and affection.

Yesenia felt torn. She knew Catherine could help her. However, it was not easy for her to ask Catherine

for a favor in person. Triston nodded at Yesenia. “Figure it out on your own.”

He had given Yesenia a solution, but whether she could do it was up to her. If she was not even willing

to do it, she would have to suffer the consequences on her own. After Triston left, Yesenia wrestled

with her thoughts for a while and finally made up her mind.

She slowly approached Catherine. She was initially unsure of how to start the conversation with

Catherine without being embarrassed.

However, when she saw the mobile game that Catherine was playing, she unintentionally got immersed

in it. Yesenia was not only a fan of celebrities but also loved playing games. She liked everything that

young girls were into these days.

Her recent obsession was a popular battle royale game. Surprisingly, Catherine was playing it too.

Yesenia had a high rank in the game. She was initially planning to give Catherine some pointers.

However, after watching Catherine play for a few minutes, Yesenia was completely captivated. Her

eyes were fixed on Catherine’s screen, and she couldn’t even blink.

When Catherine finished off the last enemy with a triumphant shot, Yesenia couldn’t contain her

excitement and exclaimed, “You’re awesome!”
