Chapter 291 His Savior
Due to Catherine’s schedule, the group of people who were supposed to leave early ended up starting their journey in the afternoon.
There was a knock on the door, and Audrey hurriedly went to open it. Upon opening the door, she saw Branden standing outside. She immediately stood up straight, behaving like a well- behaved elementary school student.
Branden glanced at her without saying a word, and Audrey, realizing this, quickly responded, “Mr. Duncan, Kathy is up. She should be ready soon.”
Audrey had woken up early to do her makeup and fix her hair before waking up Catherine. Just as she finished speaking, Catherine came out of the bathroom. Perhaps it was because she had just washed her face with hot water; her face still had a hint of warmth, making her look like a fairy stepping out of a dreamlike wonderland. She was so beautiful that it could take one’s breath away.
Not only men but even Audrey, a woman, was stunned. In her mind, only one word could describe Catherine’s beauty-stunning.
Catherine was now like an angel, gorgeous and full of vitality. However, she didn’t care about the envious looks of others. She had long been accustomed to receiving such attention from childhood to adulthood.
Catherine said softly, “I’m ready. Let’s go.”
Her cold voice snapped Audrey back to her senses. She exclaimed, “Wait for me. I’ll change my clothes right away!”
Catherine nodded slightly and walked to the door with her backpack. As she approached, Branden reached out and took the backpack from her. It was a light backpack, indicating that there wasn’t much inside.
“Is this all?” Branden raised an eyebrow and looked at her, his eyes filled with indiscernible emotions.
“Yeah, everything we need should be on the island, right?” Catherine asked. She believed that she didn’t need to bring too many things. After all, she wasn’t going to the wilderness.
They were going to the small island recently purchased by Triston, which was previously owned by a wealthy businessman who had invested in several luxurious projects on the island. The businessman went bankrupt due to some issues, leading him to sell the island to Triston.
The facilities on the island were well- equipped, and apart from the essentials she couldn’t do without, she didn’t need to bring much as everything would be available on the island.
Branden had personally come to pick them up, so Audrey didn’t want to keep them waiting. She quickly changed into an outfit and rushed out.
Audrey’s large suitcase seemed a bit exaggerated compared to Catherine’s small backpack. Audrey herself realized this and awkwardly scratched her head, looking at everyone.
“Did I bring too much? Should I take some things back?”
Catherine was aware of Audrey’s situation. Audrey used to be a beauty blogger, and every time she went out, she would bring a large amount of makeup and clothes, take pictures of her outfits, and upload them to the internet.
Over time, this habit of bringing many things with her when going out became ingrained, even for short vacations. Even when going to a small island, not for wilderness survival, she would still bring everything she liked.
“No worries. Just bring it all!” Catherine answered. Audrey immediately withdrew her hand that was about to open the suitcase. She wasn’t sure what she could bear to part with if she really had to throw things away. It felt like everything inside was what she had to bring.
After Catherine finished speaking, Branden glanced at Paxton beside him. Paxton respectfully stepped forward and approached Audrey.
“No worries, Miss Swann. I’ll carry it for you!”
“Thank you!” Audrey smiled slightly and politely handed over her luggage. This was Paxton, Branden’s assistant, and he was personally carrying her luggage.
This was amazing. Indeed, being able to rely on a big shot was pure happiness. And most importantly, the big shot was her sister. It couldn’t get any better than that.
Just thinking about it made Audrey happy. Upon arriving at the destination, Audrey realized that there were more people going on this trip than just them. Nervously, Audrey approached Catherine and asked in a low voice, ” Why are there so many people?”
Catherine looked up slightly, peering through the brim of her hat, and saw familiar faces. Ronin and Bryan were here as well, happily greeting her.
“Hey, Boss!”
“Hello, Super Catherine!” said Yesenia. Catherine didn’t respond but glanced at them briefly. Then, she lowered her head again.
Triston felt an intimidating gaze scanning him. He instinctively looked up and met Branden’s icy eyes, almost causing him to tremble in fear. Branden furrowed his brows slightly, and Triston knew his doomsday was approaching. Before the doomsday came, Triston planned to make one last struggle.
Triston smiled apologetically and looked at Branden, carefully saying, ” It’ll be more fun with more people. I don’t know who spread the news that I bought an island, and everyone told me they wanted to come and see it. I’m a generous person. I can fulfill this little request, right?”
Who else could it be? Apart from Triston, who always boasted, who else would actively spread the news?
Everyone present knew Triston’s plan. His explanation was highly unconvincing. He nervously swallowed, worried that Branden would kill him on the spot. Suddenly, Catherine spoke up.
“Let’s board the ship first. It’s windy!”
Branden’s expression immediately changed. He grabbed Catherine’s hand and walked onto the ship. Aidan, who was silently worried about Triston, walked up to him and patted his shoulder, teasing, “Congratulations to Mr. Lambert for escaping a disaster!”
Triston secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “Catherine is really awesome!”
Just a simple sentence of hers could make Branden change his mind. Perhaps she was the only one in Casier who could do this. Triston had made up his mind. In the future, he would worship Catherine every day. She was his savior!
There were billions of people in the world. God blessed all living beings and didn’t have time to care about him. Triston saw Audrey still standing by the side and started teasing her.
“Audrey, is your luggage heavy? Do you want me to help you?”
Audrey rolled her eyes at Triston. She had no idea that this island had any connection to him.
To block the news about this playboy, she had even unfollowed Triston on social media. If she had known earlier that this playboy was the one who bought the island, she wouldn’t have come!
Angry, she coldly snorted at Triston and walked past him without even giving him a second glance. Aidan rubbed his chin, observing Triston.
“What’s the matter? Did you offend Audrey? Although the Swanns don’t favor her, she is Catherine’s sister. She might become Mr. Duncan’s future sister-in-law. Can you afford to offend her?”
Could he afford to offend her? What a joke! He couldn’t afford it, of course! He wasn’t stupid. Why would he offend Audrey for no reason?
The ship hadn’t yet set sail, and Triston had already received two cold glares. He had his dignity!
Triston grumbled discontentedly at Aidan, “Get lost. Stop bothering me!”
