The barbecue was piping hot and had vibrant colors. Under the relentless heat, the mouthwateringaroma filled the air. The enticing scent tickled the senses and whetted appetites. Catherine had arefined taste for barbecue, and at that moment, she was indulging in it gracefully.
Audrey grew up in the Swanns’. She had always known the rules at the dinner table. But today, shefound herself struggling to control her cravings.
It had been three months since she had enjoyed a proper meal. Now, in the face of the deliciousbarbecue, she couldn’t resist. Kim noticed Audrey’s voracious appetite and shook his head.
“Audrey, you’re one of the hottest actresses out there. Can you please be a bit more conscious of yourimage?”
Audrey waved her hand and replied, 11 Don’t worry. I’m not famous enough for everyone to recognizeme yet.”
Her words barely left her lips before she was proven wrong.
“Wow. Isn’t this Audrey, the big star?”
A mocking voice came from the front. It was filled with mischief and teasing. Audrey heard the voiceand found it somewhat familiar. She looked up and then frowned instantly. She muttered under herbreath, “It’s him again.”
Although her voice was barely audible, Catherine heard it. Catherine hadn’t intended to intervene, butAudrey’s words made her look up.
More than one person had arrived. They were led by a fat man with a round face. He was dressed inostentatious clothes covered in logo prints. He exuded an air of arrogance.
He had his arm around a hot lady with a seductive figure. The woman’s attire barely qualified asclothing. It was more like a piece of fabric, which barely covered her from just above her navel to belowher collarbone.novelbin
Seeing his appearance, Catherine felt a bit disgusted. Just a single glance at him gave Catherine anauseating feeling. The beef slices in front of her suddenly didn’t look appetizing anymore.
Kim noticed the way the newcomers were eyeing Audrey and sensed that something was off. Hequickly stood up to defuse the situation.
“Well. Isn’t this Mr. Blaton? What a coincidence! We meet again. Mr. Blaton, since it’s such a rareoccasion, would you do me the honor of letting me treat you to a meal?”
Catherine thought inwardly, “Mr. Blaton?”
Catherine’s eyes darkened as she realized the situation. She remembered that Joseph had mentionedsomeone nicknamed Mr. Blaton. He was Aaron Blaton, the youngest son of the Blatons from the westside of the city.
Actually, Aaron’s mother was originally a mistress. She wasn’t the legal wife of the head of the Blatonsback then.
However, Aaron’s mother was cunning. She was greatly favored by the head of the Blatons, whichmade him dote on Aaron exceptionally, sometimes even more than the legitimate eldest son of theBlatons.
This had made Aaron exceptionally arrogant. The Blatons were involved in the entertainment industry,and Aaron often used his connections to pursue female celebrities.
The project Audrey was working on today happened to be the one that Aaron had initiated to promotehis current girlfriend. When Aaron came to visit the set and saw Audrey in her traditional costume, hewas instantly captivated.
Upon hearing Kim’s words, Aaron sneered. Although he was a playboy, he wasn’t foolish. He sawthrough Kim’s attempt to distract him. Aaron pointed at Kim and chuckled. Then, he said, “Sure. Treatme to a meal. I’ll do you a favor and join you.”
He directly pulled out a nearby chair that had a bag on it. Then, he plopped down right on top ofAudrey’s bag. Audrey’s eyes widened in shock. That was the bag she had just bought. It was her latestobsession, and it was a new Hermès piece that she had waited for a long time.
Seeing Audrey’s shock, Aaron chuckled. He stared at Audrey with his small eyes. Then, he sneered,“Oh, Miss Swann, my apologies for my clumsiness. I seem to have sat on your bag. How about Icompensate you? If one is not enough, I’ll compensate you with 10 bags.”
His arrogant attitude made Audrey wish she could pick up the scorching barbecue and throw it over hishead to give him a much-needed wake-up call.
Audrey was seething. As she was ready to explode in anger, Kim discreetly held her back. At the sametime, Catherine was sitting quietly on the side. She suddenly reached for two forks on the table.
Then, a subtle sound could be heard. The next moment, the chair Aaron was sitting on suddenlycollapsed. Aaron, who was caught off guard, tumbled to the ground. Everyone was stunned. No onehad expected this to happen.
Three seconds had passed. Audrey couldn’t contain her laughter, and neither could Kim. Catherine putdown the fork and sat quietly on the side. She wore a faint smile on her beautiful face.
The people around Aaron were usually the ones who flattered him the most. Seeing Aaron in such ahumiliating situation, they hurriedly helped him up and comforted him.
Once Aaron sat down again, he felt deeply embarrassed and couldn’t ignore Audrey’s mocking smile.He was ready to cause a scene.
As he stood Catherine. up, he suddenly noticed Catherine had been sitting quietly with her head downand her hat on. So, Aaron didn’t notice her just now. Now, after seeing Catherine’s face, he wasinstantly captivated.
In his eyes, Catherine was incredibly beautiful. She had delicate features, perfect proportions, and apair of eyes that were both cold and sharp.
His anger dissipated as he stared at Catherine. He smiled at Catherine and called out, “Wow. Such abeautiful lady! How did I miss you? Miss, my apologies. May I know your name?”
Audrey realized that Aaron had taken an interest in Catherine. She panicked and instinctively moved toshield Catherine with her arm. Catherine looked down at Audrey’s hand on her arm. Then, she slightlysmiled.
Audrey was so brave that she decided to protect Catherine. The Blatons held significant influencewithin the entertainment industry, and Audrey didn’t want to antagonize them.
To protect Catherine while also safeguarding her own career, Audrey had no choice but to yield toAaron. Audrey forced a smile and gazed at Aaron. “Mr. Blaton, are you okay?”
She planned to divert Aaron’s attention away from Catherine and get Catherine to leave quietly.However, Aaron looked at Audrey with disdain. He thought Audrey was just like any other woman hehad encountered and was playing hard to get.
Aaron thought Audrey was upset because she saw him shift his focus to someone else. “Step aside.Don’t obstruct me from chatting with this beauty.”
Audrey couldn’t take it anymore. If he targeted her, that was one thing. But messing with her sister wasan entirely different matter.
The sisters from the Swanns had fiery tempers. One should never cross their boundaries, or theconsequences would be dire.
“Mr. Blaton, this is my sister. Please mind your words.”
But Aaron ignored Audrey’s warning. He smiled arrogantly. He ran his hand along his chin, and hislecherous gaze shifted between the two sisters.
“Well, I didn’t expect you two to be sisters. I like that.”
After saying this, Aaron couldn’t resist adding with a grin. “Especially in bed…”
