Chapter 55: Is Catherine Going to Debut?
"Don't worry about it, just follow the rules."
Oliver cared too much about his reputation. The betting agreements he signed could make him lose a fortune.
As for the Johnson family, she had never taken them seriously.
Saturn was quite happy to hear her say this, almost ready to set off fireworks to celebrate for Catherine on the spot!
"Great!"
After hanging up, Charles knocked gently on Catherine's door.
"Come in."
"Catherine, Grandpa asked me to visit Esme's school. I was thinking, since you're about to start college too, do you want to come along and check it out?"
Charles said this, but really just wanted an excuse to spend more time with Catherine!
They were all so busy with work that having breakfast together was already difficult enough. They barely had any other time to spend with Catherine.
Catherine thought about it. Medical University had the most detailed classified files on Vitality Pills. It would be a good chance to look into them.
"Okay."
As the top university in Imperia City, Medical University had excellent faculty. Gavin's medical lab, ranked second in Stellara, was here. The first was George's lab.
Lucas was being pushed by Clara in his wheelchair. As soon as they entered the campus, he felt the youthful energy everywhere. There were girls in short skirts and doctors in uniforms everywhere, instantly stirring up Lucas's desires!
This place was amazing!
Lucas tugged at the bandages on his face, looking for targets.
Clara saw him looking around constantly and felt terrible.
Those female students dressed so inappropriately, showing their legs just to seduce Lucas on purpose!
"Catherine? What's she doing here?"
Lucas had sharp eyes. He spotted the young woman getting out of a deep purple Porsche. Her slender legs were long and slim, wearing a pair of limited edition Quinn high heels that perfectly showed off her figure.
Charles tossed his car keys to his secretary and caught up to Catherine in a few steps, walking beside her and touching her hand thoughtfully.
"A bit cold. I forgot to tell you to bring a jacket. Next time I'll keep coats in my car for you."
As Charles spoke, he gentlemanly took off his suit jacket and put it on Catherine. She was wearing a light green gauze dress, and with the suit jacket, she looked even more elegant and commanding.
"Thanks, Charles."
"Let's go to the administration office. I already made an appointment with the Medical University president."
Catherine followed Charles. Their outstanding looks and presence attracted many onlookers.
Clara's fingernails were digging into her palms!
Lucas was also quite excited, pointing at Charles's figure and trembling!
"Him, him, him! I knew he and Catherine had something going on. He's the one who hit me last time!"
"Lucas, he's the one who attacked you? But he looks really rich. Why would he hit you over Catherine?"
Lucas looked at Charles with three parts anger and seven parts fear. Thinking about how his once handsome face, good enough to be a celebrity, had been ruined because Charles was jealous of his looks made Lucas furious!
"Clara, Catherine is only acting this way because she can't marry me. Please forgive her!"
Clara was jealous seeing Lucas still defending Catherine.
Catherine did look really good now. Back at the Smith family, even when Celeste didn't allow Catherine to dress up, she still attracted crowds of men waiting at the Smith Villa gate. Now that she had hooked up with a rich man, it was even worse.
That green gauze dress alone was a custom piece you couldn't even buy at Quinn!
Clara was dying of jealousy. She pushed Lucas forward quickly, blocking Catherine's path.
"Catherine, how dare you have someone beat up Lucas! You need to apologize to him! Even if you can't marry Lucas, you should bless us. You're so disappointing. Look what you did to Lucas!"
Catherine was speechless.
This person was Lucas?
Charles stepped in front of Catherine, his sharp features showing coldness.
"Ms. Smith, I believe I already warned you last time!"
Clara was a bit scared seeing Charles.
After being blacklisted from all Evergreen Group malls last time, Clara investigated Charles's identity and discovered he was the chairman of the Evergreen Group, worth billions of dollars!
How did someone like him get hooked by Catherine? In terms of looks, she wasn't any worse!
"You must apologize to Lucas and cover all his medical expenses! Catherine, Mom and Dad always taught us not to bully others. After you left home, you kept bothering Lucas, and when he rejected you, you did this to him."
Catherine frowned slightly, looking at Lucas: "You're saying I'm chasing this ugly guy? Sorry, I don't have a thing for ugly people."
The students watching nearby burst into laughter.
The Medical University president rushed over, jogging up to Charles.
"Mr. Windsor, welcome to our school. The materials are ready. Please come with me."
Charles didn't even glance at Clara and Lucas, taking Catherine to the president's car and driving off.
"That was the Medical University president, right? Why was he so respectful to Catherine?"
Lucas received messages from friends asking him to meet at a bar outside school. He casually brushed it off: "Who knows what rich people are into? Let's go out first."
Clara bit her lip, looking resentfully at Catherine's departing figure, but Medical University was too large to see anything anymore.
On the electronic screen at the university district mall, a gorgeous poster was scrolling. Catherine in a light blue princess dress sat in a garden admiring flowers, the diamond crown on her head sparkling brilliantly. Her every smile was so beautiful people thought she was an international supermodel!
The screen also showed a message: "Happy Birthday Catherine Windsor!"
Clara's eyes widened!
How could Catherine's photo be on the mall screen, and with the surname Windsor? Could she really be related to Charles from the Evergreen Group?
That's impossible!
"Lucas, is Catherine related to Charles?"
Lucas also saw the photo, his eyes full of undisguised amazement!
He'd always known Catherine was beautiful, but he never imagined that adorned with diamonds, she would be so stunning that people couldn't look away.
"How could they be related? Didn't Oliver say their family raises chickens in Tranquil County? Maybe they just happen to share the surname Windsor!"
Clara looked at the message on the poster. "Radiant Entertainment—is Catherine using a stage name to break into the entertainment industry?"
Radiant Entertainment was currently the biggest entertainment company in Imperia City, with multiple supermodels and best actor and actress award winners. Their resources were incredible.
If Catherine really was going to debut through Radiant Entertainment, with that face she would definitely become a huge star in the entertainment industry very quickly.
