Chapter 197 Triston Was Despised
Catherine raised her eyebrows and waited for Roninâs next words. Ronin originally had a spirited look, but he instantly drooped after meeting Catherineâs gaze.
He knew that Catherine was waiting for his next words, but he was terrified in his heart and dared not continue. He asked trembly, âBoss, are you going to dinner?â
âUh-huh,â Catherine replied. Ronin couldnât tell what her mood was at the moment. He continued cautiously, âHow about you take me with you? I have nowhere to have dinner yet!â
His pathetic look would make those who didnât know the situation think Catherine was abusing her men. As Ronin spoke, he pulled Bryanâs sleeve, signaling him to say something as well.
It was not that Catherine didnât notice the interaction between the two. It was just that they were so funny that she didnât even know what to say.
Bryan had just tricked Ronin once. He feared Ronin would get angry if he didnât help him now. Therefore, he still forced himself to speak despite Bryanâs fear of his uncleâs dominance.
He looked toward his uncleâs car. His uncleâs car today was a luxurious and low-key McLaren. He had an idea instantly and said cleverly, âBoss, donât worry. That car canât accommodate so many people. Iâll take Roninâs car!â
The most prominent feature of this McLaren was its integrated central control, which meant that only two people could sit in the back seat.
So Bryan arranged everything and put forward his ideas politely. Ronin secretly gave Bryan a thumbs up. He didnât expect that Bryan, a man from a wealthy family, could almost be as cheeky as he was.
The two of them looked pitifully at Catherine with the same gaze. Catherine didnât make a decision and turned her head to look at Branden.
Branden glanced coldly at the two of them. He didnât know that these two boys were addicted to following Catherine. Since they liked to follow Catherine, he would just let them.
âOkay!â
After finishing speaking generously, he opened.the car door and led Catherine into the car.
As soon as the two of them got into the car, Bryan and Ronin, who were standing at the window, heard the â snapâ sound of the central locking system.
The car was locked, blocking Bryan and Ronin outside. With a faint glance, Branden looked at Bryan and Ronin outside the car window. He curled his thin lips gently into a smile, which looked very sinister.
Paxton had been with Branden for many years and understood him the most. The high-performance McLaren was driven away with just one step on the accelerator. Ronin and Bryan breathed in a lot of exhaust fumes, and their faces twisted with anger.
Seeing Bryan standing still without moving, Ronin said disgustedly, â Alright, stop looking at it. Theyâve already gone. Hurry up and get in the car to catch up!â
Catherine leaned back lazily on the back seat of the car. Watching the childish actions of the three men, she couldnât help but want to laugh.
The place where Triston hosted the banquet was the Charm Bar, which was also the largest entertainment venue in the entire Casier. Watching the vast group of people come in, Triston grinned happily.
Glancing around, he realized that all these people were related to Catherine. It went without saying who they had come for.
âCatherine, thank you for coming. You brought so many people here. I like it.
The more the merrier!â
Facing Triston with an oily look, Catherine was filled with disgust. Fortunately, she was used to being cold, and Triston didnât dare to be reckless in front of her. With Branden, a big shot protecting her, who dared to make a scene in front of her?
If she were anyone else, Triston would have rushed up and given her a big hug first. Triston suddenly asked, âEveryone else came, but why didnât your sister Audrey come?â
Upon hearing Audreyâs name, Catherineâs eyes flashed a hint of strangeness. And then she fixed her gaze on Tristonâs face as she asked, â 11 She has an event to attend tonight. Why? Youâre dying for her to come?â
Triston replied generously, âYes, of course. The more, the merrier, and Audrey has a good personality. I like being with friends who get along!â
His attitude was sincere and generous, and he had no guilty look. Upon seeing that, Catherine felt that the reason for the change in Audreyâs attitude just now could not be attributed to him.
But Triston, who finally returned to his senses after a while, looked at Catherine with a fearful; gaze.
âCatherine, why are you staring at me like that? Could it beâ¦
Before he could finish his words, Catherine said, âYou have a pimple on your face!â After saying that, Catherine sidled around Triston and entered the private room.
Triston had indeed had some insomnia during this time. After staying up late every day recently, he had a small pimple on his face. He didnât expect Catherine to notice it..
He couldnât help but ask himself, âIs it that obvious?â
Ronin followed Catherine into the private room. As he passed by Tristonâs side, he ridiculed coldly, âYour pores are huge!â
âWhatâ¦â Triston became angry. He stopped Bryan, who was walking at the end of the line, and put his arm around his shoulder threateningly. âBryan, tell me. Do I look that bad?â
Bryan hated it when Triston spoke to him threateningly just because he was his uncleâs peer.
And what he couldnât bear the most was when Triston called him âBryanâ in a disgusting tone. Triston refused to change even after Bryan had asked him many times. He was simply seeking death.
Bryan pushed Triston away with a look of disgust and said nonchalantly, âIf you have time, wash your face more often!â
Triston froze instantly!
So, how bad did he look now? So many people had despised him!
Was his skin really hopeless? After entering the private room, Catherine realized that there were quite a few other people in it, and Aidan was there too.
But she didnât pay much attention and walked along with Branden to sit at the seats. When he saw Catherine, Aidan was about to say hello, but his attention was drawn to Bryan behind him.
He turned his head toward Bryan. â
Hey, yo. Bryan, right? I havenât seen you in a few years. I canât even recognize you!â
Bryan frowned tightly, his handsome face turning livid. How could so many of them try to suppress and bully him because of their seniority?
Aidan, however, kept talking as if he hadnât noticed that Bryan was already angry. âYou were only in elementary school when I went abroad, right? In the blink of an eye, you are so big now. Itâs rare that youâre willing to follow your uncle today.â
He could remember Bryan being very rebellious from a young age. He was always fearless, and only his uncle Branden could suppress him.
But it was normal. After all, there was no one Branden could not suppress. Bryan glared at Aidan with dissatisfaction and denied instantly, âI followed Boss here, not my uncle!â
Aidan was deliberately making fun of Bryan, trying to piss him off for fun. He didnât expect Bryan to give him such an answer and confuse him. â Boss?â
His eyes swept over Branden and the group. He didnât believe Bryan had the guts to challenge Branden, calling him
âBossâ instead of âUncle.â
Could it be that the âBossâ Bryan referred to was the cute boy on the side with a backpack?
Brandenâs expression changed when he heard the way Bryan addressed Catherine. His well-defined and slender fingers rubbed back and forth at the position of his chin.
He was thinking, âMaybe now is the time. I should find a time for Grandpa to teach Bryan the importance of honor and respect for the elder and the difference between the elder and the young.â
Bryan didnât know that his uncle was planning to torture him, and he was still focused on expressing his displeasure toward Aidan.
