“Wow. The call went through. Is it Sugar?”
As Catherine spoke, her voice had changed. It was deep and husky, like a man’s smoky voice. No onewould believe that this voice belonged to such a charming young lady.
“Speak!”
Catherine replied with a single word in a tone filled with a powerful presence. On the other end, thecaller’s voice sounded excited but he managed to restrain himself.
“Sugar, the black market is offering 100 million dollars for your expertise, and a few of the top hackerswill work with you.”
“Who?” Catherine asked succinctly. The caller replied, “Sugar, it was an anonymous order.” Catherinefrowned. Her eyes were cold and terrifyingly chilling. “Don’t they know my rules?”
Even though they were on the phone, the person on the other end of the line was so scared. Herealized that the rumors were true. Sugar was indeed a fearsome figure.
According to the rumors, this mysterious top-tier hacker, Sugar, was exceptionally skilled, ruthless, andutterly cold-blooded. If someone dared to cross Sugar, he would get into big trouble.
“But, they…”
Before he could finish, Catherine cut him off abruptly. She said, “If there is a next time, I’ll make youdisappear from this world.”
With her assertive words, she promptly hung up the phone. After the conversation, Catherine feltsomewhat agitated.
She had her own rules when it came to her business dealings. Making money was fine, but the moneyhad to from a clean source. Regardless of who they are, they had to identify themselves first.

Compared to Ronin, who was a playful young lad, Bryan was much more mature,Catherine gave thema cold look, which scared Ronin. He realized he had forgotten about it again.
Every time Bryan teased him, he couldn’t help but lose his temper. Despite knowing that Catherinedespised disturbances, Ronin couldn’t help himself. As such, he could only come over to apologizesincerely. He said, “Boss, we were wrong. We won’t make a fuss again.”
Catherine didn’t trust him at all. Ronin had always kept his promises to her in the past. But since heencountered Bryan, he couldn’t control himself.
Ronin glanced at Catherine’s expression before lowering his head in guilt. Compared to Ronin, Bryanwas much more straightforward. He said to Catherine, “Boss, we’ve gone through this piece. It feelsperfect for our duo. I think I’ll be able to master it quickly. How about we find a time to rehearse it?

Therefore, Catherine made adjustments specifically for him, which made him feel that the songperfectly suited him.
“There’s no rush for it. You guys should practice for another night, and we’ll schedule a full dressrehearsal tomorrow.”

It’s not good for health.”
With a single hand to support herself, Catherine gracefully leaped down from the high platform andstrode away. Ronin realized something and muttered, “Did Boss just smile?”
Bryan looked at him with disdain and wanted to retort. However, Bryan remembered that Catherinedidn’t like them arguing, so he held his tongue. He gave Ronin a disdainful look and followedCatherine.
