Chapter 124 Spend as You Like
Catherine handed her cell phone to Ronin beside her. “Did you transfer this?” Her business had been
handed over to Ronin. She would only focus on the numbers and didn’t care how much it was.
Ronin glanced at it and burst out laughing. “Boss, how could I possibly transfer such a small amount to
you? It definitely wasn’t my doing! Even beggars wouldn’t transfer such a small amount of money.”
After saying that, Ronin quickly checked the information on the phone and tried to find out who had
transferred the money.
When he saw the name on the screen, he froze for a moment and laughed awkwardly. Then, he looked
at Catherine and said, “Boss, please take what I just said as nonsense!”
Catherine took a glance at it, and the moment she saw Audrey’s name on the screen, she was already
clear in her heart. She got up, took her phone back from Ronin’s hand, and headed out.
A few minutes later, Audrey, who was in between takes, received a call from Catherine. She was a little
confused. Audrey answered the call and said, Kathy, aren’t you in class? Why are you calling me?”
Catherine’s cool voice came from the other end of the line. “Why did you send me money?” In the next
second, Audrey laughed softly. Now, she understood why Catherine called her.
“Hahaha! Did you receive the money so quickly? The money is the advertising fee given to me by the
program team. You accompanied me to the program, so naturally, I have to share half of it with you.
Buy whatever you want with the money. Don’t save it.”
Audrey couldn’t hide the excitement in her voice. She wanted to share her happiness with Catherine.
“Kathy, I’m telling you, you can use this money as much as you want. Don’t worry about the money. I’ve
already received several endorsements. I’ll give you some more when I get the endorsement fees.
“Well, I’m going to shoot the commercial first. I’ll talk to you later!”
After saying that, Audrey hung up the phone directly. Kim stood aside and couldn’t help but snort and
roll his eyes at Audrey.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing Kim’s mocking snort, Audrey looked up at him with a smile. “My great manager, what’s wrong
with you? Why do you have that look on your face? What did I do wrong to upset you? Kim squinted at
her with an angry look as if he was blaming her.
“Audrey, I really don’t know what to say about you. You only have that little bit of money, and now, all of
it goes to your sister. Catherine is Mr. Duncan’s fiancée. Do you think she lacks that little bit of money?”
Audrey knew Kim was concerned about her, so she didn’t blame him. She just said with a smile, “It’s
not the case. I’m Catherine’s sister. After all, Catherine and Branden haven’t gotten married yet, so it’s
not appropriate for her to spend Branden’s money.
“Catherine is now in an aristocratic school. She might need to spend more money so that people at the
school won’t look down on her.” Audrey knew the school where Catherine was going very well. After all,
she had graduated from there as well.
Audrey knew the situation at home even better. Her father didn’t run the house, and her mother,
Rachael, didn’t give a damn about Catherine’s life, so naturally, she would give Catherine any money.
Catherine had just returned from the countryside and surely didn’t have much money with her. Those
bank cards from before were probably Branden’s, and Audrey couldn’t let Catherine use Branden’s
money.
They hadn’t even gotten married yet, so Audrey couldn’t let them look down on Catherine. Audrey got
her own ideas. Kim couldn’t persuade her, so he could only let her be. The only comfort was that
Catherine was much better than Liana. At least she would help Audrey.
At the thought of Liana, Kim felt a headache. The girl regarded herself as a noble girl, but when she
asked Audrey for something, she never showed any mercy. Her attitude could piss people off every
time. She was the real evil one.
“Alright, I won’t bother with you. Hurry up and get to the shoot. The director is waiting!” said Kim.
Catherine hung up the phone and kept staring at the string of numbers on the screen with a puzzled
expression. Audrey was unaware of the fact that Catherine had read her contract.
That small amount of money was all she could get paid for the entire show, but Audrey gave Catherine
all of it and even told Catherine that she only gave half of it.
Catherine heard the sound of footsteps from behind her, and by the sound of them, she knew who was
standing behind her.
She had grown up around many different people. After so many years of changing, Ronin was the only
one who stayed by her side. Vicente should have been the other one, but unfortunately, Vicente had
left forever.
“Ronin, what do you think Audrey was thinking? She is the one who is short of money, but she is giving
it all to me!”
Ronin was not surprised that Catherine didn’t have to turn around to realize that the visitor was him.
Catherine was always that capable. Ronin couldn’t answer Catherine’s question.
After thinking for a long time, Ronin suddenly voiced out his thoughts. He said, “Maybe she’s just like
me. She treats you as her family and wants to give you all the good things!”
Although he called Catherine Boss, in Ronin’s eyes, Catherine was his only family. If Catherine was
short of money, he could give his entire fortune, and he felt that Audrey probably thought the same
way.
Ronin’s words echoed in Catherine’s mind. “Treats you as her family and wants to give you all the good
things!”
Catherine wondered, “Is that true?”
Catherine had always been the smartest of the smart. However, she spent a lot of time on this question
and failed to come up with a clear answer at the end.
The school’s celebration gala this time was particularly grand because it coincided with the 10th
anniversary.
The requirements were particularly high. Although each class selected five programs, not all of them
could make it to the stage of the celebration gala. There was still an audition, after all. The last winning
program would be allowed to perform on stage.
Liana was so confident that she didn’t even feel the need to prepare. After all, she was well-known for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher piano skills. Who could compete with her in that school?
Many classes agreed to give the last study session to those who had signed up for the performance to
practice.
Some students couldn’t help but ask Liana when they saw her sitting inside the class, focusing on her
textbook. Liana, the competition is on Friday. Are you nervous? Why don’t you go and practice?”
Before Liana could say anything, her deskmate, who had always been close to her, hurriedly said,
“Didn’t you see how good Liana’s piano skills were at the welcome party back then? It’s just an
audition. Liana doesn’t need a rehearsal to win first place.”
In front of outsiders, although Liana thought those words made sense, she still graciously said, “I
haven’t finished reviewing my textbooks yet. It won’t be too late for me to practice after that!”
When Liana first entered the school, she shocked the whole school with her piano performance at the
welcome party.
With her beautiful face and excellent talent, as well as being the daughter of a wealthy family, she was
already a winner.
As a result, it took Liana only one day to win the title of Campus Belle. Before that, the title had always
belonged to a senior student. At that time, she was always in the spotlight, no matter where she was in
the school.
However, her popularity was completely shattered the day Catherine appeared. Catherine was even
more amazing. She appeared without saying a word, but the crowd was overwhelmed. With her
stunning appearance, Catherine gained unparalleled attention at school.
Comparisons between Catherine and Liana were now all over the school forums. Everyone was
arguing about who should be the Campus Belle between the two.
Some said that Catherine was much prettier, while others said that Liana was a talented girl with
brilliant piano skills.
With both Catherine and Liana attending the celebration gala this time around, there should be a
winner.
