Chapter 755 Same Eyes

“Catherine replied! Catherine replied!” Wantel’s shout drew everyone’s attention.

Branden was the first to rush to Wantel’s side. If it were anyone else, Wantel might not have shared the message, but Branden’s imposing presence made him tremble. He barely had time to turn on the device before handing it over to Branden.

After Branden read the message, his expression turned extremely peculiar. Those around him noticed his unusual demeanor, feeling a sense of unease, but no one dared to inquire about the situation. All their gazes turned to Wantel, pressing him for answers.

“Wantel, what did Catherine say?” Ronin asked.

Facing Ronin’s probing, Wantel felt like rolling his eyes. These people didn’t have the guts to approach Branden, so they began pressuring him. They sure knew how to pick on the easy target. Luckily, his laptop could also access the message, albeit not as conveniently as the device.

Wantel turned on his laptop, opened the message sent by Catherine, and read its contents aloud. “Catherine sent a message with the instructions on how to reach Florona Island, but she told us not to go immediately. She said that if she hasn’t sent another message within two hours, then we should proceed to the island.”

After hearing Wantel’s words, the group fell into silence once again. They had always followed Catherine’s orders, but now there was an unexpected factor-they weren’t the only ones present. Branden was here as well. This time, all eyes turned to Branden, waiting for his command.

Paxton hesitated for a moment and then suggested to Branden, “Boss, why don’t we just follow Miss Swann’s orders?”

Branden didn’t respond, nor did he request to take action. Instead, he sat in the nearby rest area, closing his eyes to rest.

Seeing this, the group of people understood that Branden intended to respect Catherine’s decision. In order to be in the best possible condition when they reached the island, they decided to prepare the equipment they needed for the journey to Florona.

In Florona, the flower appreciation event had already begun. As a chef assistant, Catherine wasn’t qualified to enter the banquet hall. However, in order to get into the hall and find her target, she bribed a waitress, exchanging identities with her and voluntarily taking on the task of serving dishes.

Each guest’s name was set at their respective table, allowing them to quickly find their seats. Catherine had already located the positions of the two female guests with the surname Bradley” and was now waiting for them to enter the hall.

Ten minutes later, the flower appreciation event ended, and the tasting event officially began. The first female guest with the surname ” Bradley” had already entered the hall. However, she bore no resemblance to Branden’s mother, and Catherine immediately dismissed her based on this guest’s appearance.

The second female guest with the surname “Bradley” hadn’t yet arrived, but the banquet management had already begun notifying the servers to clear the area.

Standing beside Catherine, a waitress noticed her lack of movement and assumed she hadn’t received the order, so she reached out and pulled Catherine’s sleeve.

At that moment, Catherine’s hand was already on the blade at her waist, ready to unsheathe it at any time. Fortunately, the waitress’s timely words prevented an assassination. “We should leave, or we’ll face punishment.

“Okay.” Catherine nodded and followed the waitress, preparing to retreat. Just as they were about to leave the banquet hall, the final female guest entered with a male companion.

In a fleeting glance, Catherine saw that the woman’s face was veiled, but she managed to catch a glimpse of her eyes. With just one glance, Catherine recognized her. This woman’s eyes were identical to Branden’s. Catherine had always thought Branden’s eyes were remarkably beautiful, shining like the sparkling stars in the sky. The eyes of this female guest were the same as if they held all the dazzling stars of the galaxy, exuding exceptional charm.

Amos, seeing Catherine’s prolonged absence, grew anxious and hurriedly went to find her. He had been prepared to barge into the banquet hall, but halfway there, he encountered Catherine coming out with other people, which greatly relieved him. He quickly approached Catherine, lowered his voice, and inquired about her situation. “Miss Swann, are you okay?”

“I’m fine!” Catherine explained the situation to Amos in a low voice. “I’ve found the person. Cover me for a while. I’ll go take a look.”

“Alright, be careful, Miss Swann,” Amos reminded her.

Catherine nodded and disappeared into the darkness.

“I’m going to the restroom,” Regan Bradley said to the person beside her, then got up and headed towards the restroom. As she entered, a lithe figure flashed past the entrance to the restroom. Then, a temporary maintenance sign had been put up there.

Just as Regan entered the restroom, she felt that something was off behind her. She sensed that someone was following her, but the other party didn’t seem to have any intention of harming her. She turned around, only to find a young woman dressed as a waitress standing behind her.

Regan immediately recognized that the woman was not just an ordinary waitress. “Who are you? Are you here to find me?”

Catherine carefully observed the woman, whose cold and aristocratic demeanor indicated her inner strength, even in such a critical situation.

“Ms. Cynthia Bradley,” Catherine said.

A hint of surprise flashed through Regan’s beautiful eyes. She had forgotten how long it had been since she last heard that form of address. She never expected to hear it again in her lifetime. “Who are you?” she asked again.

From Regan’s reaction, Catherine knew she had found the right person. She stared intently at Regan’s face and uttered a name. “Do you remember Branden?”

The name astonished Regan even more than hearing her own name. She seemed lost in thought as if she were trapped in her memories, murmuring, ” Branden… Are you one of Branden’s people?”

Catherine didn’t answer her, as she had heard a commotion outside. She knew someone was coming this way. Given her current situation, she could easily escape a confrontation. However, it would inevitably get others, especially Amos, in big trouble. She couldn’t risk being discovered.

Judging from Regan’s expression, Catherine sensed that she still held some feelings for Branden. Catherine decided to take a chance. “If you still remember Branden, I’ll be waiting for you at the back garden gate later. Someone’s coming. I have to go,” Catherine said and then leaped out of the window.

The building had 24 floors, yet Catherine jumped out as if it were nothing. Regan was so shocked her mouth widened. But before she could fully process the shock, the restroom door was kicked open from the outside. Leading the charge was her male companion, her first love, now named Jotham Johnson.

Seeing Regan standing there safe and sound, Jotham rushed forward and embraced her. “Are you okay, Regan?”
