Chapter 525 An Unexpected Encounter

Catherine, with her hands crossed, slowly walked toward Branden.

As she passed by him, she deliberately didn’t stop. She planned to tease him a bit.

However, Branden didn’t give her a chance. He simply grabbed her hand and pulled her down the stairs.

At that moment, Catherine felt like she could hear the hearts shattering behind her.

How miserable!

As Branden dragged her downstairs, they reached a corner.

Suddenly, Branden got tough and pushed Catherine into a dark corner.

Without waiting for Catherine’s response, he pressed up against her. His cold, thin lips met Catherine’s soft ones with a hint of domination and punishment.

Catherine let him have his way. She enjoyed watching Branden when he lost control occasionally. It was quite entertaining.

After a while, Branden reluctantly released Catherine. He rested his head on her shoulder, and his hoarse voice echoed in Catherine’s ear.

“Dare to watch from the sidelines next time?”

Catherine coldly chuckled, and her voice was almost inaudible.

She smiled and stared at Branden with her beautiful eyes.

Her fiery gaze made Branden feel overwhelmingly hot. If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, he would have seriously dealt with Catherine in front of him.

After helping Catherine straighten her clothes, he pulled her out of the dark corner.

“How about grabbing a bite to eat?”

Catherine didn’t immediately respond to Branden. Instead, she took out her phone. She checked a message from Ronin, who had invited her to have dinner together.

“Ronin is here too. How about having dinner together?”

Branden had no objections. Since Ronin was in the same school as Catherine, they decided to go together.

Ronin had already scouted the location of the school’s student center and chose a restaurant he thought Catherine would like. He sent the location to Catherine.

It was only a five-minute walk from the dorm. Catherine and Branden decided to head to meet Ronin.

Ronin had been waiting downstairs. He was delighted when he saw Catherine’s figure from afar.

He eagerly waved and called out, ” Catherine, over here!”

Hearing his voice, Catherine immediately spotted Ronin and headed toward the restaurant.

It was a New Orleans chicken wings place near the school. It certainly couldn’t compare to the restaurants that Branden had taken her to on normal days.

However, for the next few years, she might be living here, and the surroundings would be her new environment, so there was no need to be too picky.

Ronin was very happy to see Catherine and willingly ignored Branden by her side. He followed Catherine and exclaimed, “Catherine, I’ve already reserved a private room. Let’s go in!”

When Ronin arrived at the school and put his things down, he went out to make arrangements.

While he couldn’t be in the same class as Catherine, being at the same school as Catherine was acceptable.

“Alright,” Catherine responded before confidently striding into the room. She exuded an imposing presence.

Ronin and Branden followed closely. Their auras were both powerful, each one stronger than the other.

The appearance of the three of them instantly attracted the attention of many in the restaurant.

It was the start of the academic year, and the student center was livelier than usual.

Although Catherine’s appearance was partly hidden by her hat, Branden and Ronin were both handsome. They drew the eyes of many.

After a while, they reached the entrance of the private room and were about to enter.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

“Mr. Duncan…”

A melodious voice called out from behind. The three of them instinctively stopped and turned around.

Upon seeing who had called him, Branden furrowed his brows slightly and displayed a hint of displeasure on his handsome face.

However, Jada was utterly unaware of this. She was completely focused on Branden standing before her. She couldn’t believe she had unexpectedly run into him here.

She thought this was truly fate.

Jada gazed at Branden with affection and called out with a sweet voice, “Mr. Duncan, what are you doing here?”

The sound nearly gave Ronin goosebumps all over his body. He thought inwardly, “Where does this ugly person come from? Why is she here to disturb me?”

Jada had already tainted his eyes, and now she was polluting his ears.

Branden didn’t even bother to greet her and turned to leave. Jada finally noticed that Branden had that annoying Catherine by his side.

The thought of Catherine, who had embarrassed her within their social circle, made Jada grit her teeth in hatred.

She glared at Catherine with a gloomy face and asked, “What are you doing here?”

After the previous incident, Jada tried to seek revenge on Catherine by sending people to Casier.

However, although she sent people twice, there was not a word in response.

Recently, the Facers faced various issues, leading to significant cutbacks in her expenses and resources. She had no choice but to give up on her revenge plan.

Jada didn’t expect to run into Catherine here.

Today, she decided to give Catherine a good lesson.

Jada had a solid plan and had already considered how to deal with Catherine. But sometimes, plans couldn’t keep up with the ever-changing reality.

Before Catherine could respond, Ronin couldn’t hold back any longer.

He detested people who had issues with Catherine more than anything. For Ronin, anyone targeting Catherine was essentially targeting him.

He thought inwardly, “This ugly person dares to show no respect to Catherine right in front of me. She is asking for trouble!”

Ronin stared at Jada with his beautiful eyes as he unreservedly retorted, “Who are you? Why are you making a noise here? We haven’t even mentioned how your voice sounds worse than a toad’s croak. Now, you dare to question us? What gives you the right?

“You’re so ugly, and you dare to come out and scare people. Why don’t you take a look in the mirror and see if you can scare yourself into passing out?

“Most importantly, it’s not just about being ugly. You’re ugly, and you’re out here scaring people. Are you so bored that you have nothing better to do, or do you want to harm all living beings and destroy the Earth?”

The string of insults and taunts left Jada speechless and powerless to retaliate. She could only stand in place. She was seething with anger as her face turned red.

“You…”

Ronin didn’t allow her to speak and instantly retorted. “Who do you think you are? Do you even have the right to speak? Do you have manners and education? Did you waste your time in school? Who asked you to talk?”

Jada was so furious that she nearly spat out blood on the spot. She was so angry that she even had difficulty catching her breath.

Seeing her unwell complexion, Ronin, who had finally vented his anger, felt satisfied.

After he turned to Catherine, he immediately changed his expression to a charming smile and looked at her affectionately.

“Catherine, let’s not bother with these trashy people. Let’s go to the private room, and I’ll show you what’s best to eat here!”

Catherine glanced at the defeated Jada. She was relieved that she didn’t have to intervene.

She walked toward the private room, and Branden quickly followed, not sparing a single glance for Jada.

In an instant, Jada, who had previously been the center of attention, became a pitiful figure in everyone’s eyes.

Jada couldn’t bear this humiliation and stormed out.

Every time she encountered Catherine, she never fared well.

Catherine was truly her nemesis, and no matter what, she was determined to get rid of Catherine.
