When Catherine caught sight of Edson, she felt a moment of annoyance and turned around, preparing to leave.

At this point, Edson had already spotted Catherine. Seeing Catherine about to leave, he hurriedly caught up.

Cassie!” Amelia was puzzled by Catherine's sudden change of direction and did not know what had happened. Then she witnessed the handsforeign guy suddenly chasing after Catherine and shouting her name.

Amelia was dumbfounded, muttering to herself, “Oh my goodness, Super Catherine is truly different. Even such a top-notch foreign guy is chasing after her.” Hearing footsteps behind her, Catherine halted, hands in her pockets. She then adopted a cool demeanor and stared at Edson.

Displaying a domineering attitude, she said with an icy tone devoid of emotion, “If you think a beating isn’t enough, feel free to try.” Catherine assumed a ready-to-fight posture, scaring Edson pale. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. Among all the women globally, only Catherine dared to lay a hand on him.

What was worse was that his combat strength was lower than Catherine’s, so he couldn’t win in a physical confrontation. Edson raised his hand in a gesture for a pause and looked at Catherine with deep affection.

“Cassie, we're friends after all. | cto Eskana for business, and is this the attitude | get when | meet an old friend like you? Shouldn’t you invitefor a meal and catch up?” Catherine wasn’t buying the tactics that usually worked on ordinary people. She gave Edson a cold look and was full of disdain. “An old friend?

He squinted his eyes and stared at Catherine with a threatening look, questioning, “Am | that undesirable to you?” Before Catherine could respond, a sudden voice interrupted the tension. ” Don’t you even know whether you’re desirable or not? Do you lack that basic self-awareness?” The deep voice attracted everyone's attention. Branden, with an imposing stride, walked toward them. His tall figure and perfect facial features made him look like a walking magazine cover.

He went straight to Catherine and wrapped his strong arms around her slender waist, boldly asserting his dominance. Catherine stood quietly on the side and tacitly approved his actions, completely agreeing with him.
