Chapter 506 Provocation

Branden rarely came to Loxton, so many old friends were eager to have a chat with him.

Knowing that Catherine didn’t like to interact with people, Branden settled her in a comfortable seat. After that, he was ready to leave, though with a reluctant look on his face.

“Get some rest here. I’ll be back soon!”

Catherine raised her eyes slightly and gave him a glance, saying nothing.

Branden gently patted her head and turned to leave.

Once Branden was gone, Catherine withdrew her gaze. She reached into her pocket, took out her phone, put on her headphones, and began playing a game.

With Branden gone, Jada and her friends began to openly scrutinize Catherine. One of the women frowned and stared in Catherine’s direction, making a snide comment.

“She’s not bad-looking, but her demeanor can’t compare to Jada’s. I wonder where Branden found this waitress.”

Right after she finished her words, another woman chimed in.

“Jada, isn’t your family already engaged to the Duncans? Now, Mr. Duncan has brought this vixen along. What’s going on?”

The Facers were a well-known wealthy family in Loxton, and coupled with Jada’s exceptional personal qualities, it was extremely rare to find a suitable young man in Loxton who could match her.

Over the years, Jada had no scandals. The outside world had always been saying that the Facers were engaged to the Duncans of Casier, and Jada was already considered Branden’s fiancée by everyone.

Jada herself had never denied it, and over time, it became a fact in everyone’s eyes.
