Chapter 114: 17 Years Old

  "Very good, very powerful."

  Half an hour later, Catherine finally said this famous quote once said by Marx.

  "Mr. Angle and fingers are not stimulating enough, what's wrong with using some new tricks?"

  Aida shrugged her shoulders.

  "Maybe you should find a man now, Ida." Lily said with a smile.

  But Aida's head shook like a rattle drum: "Don't you know? The man who loves himself the most has already married his own mother, and I haven't been interested in men so far. On the contrary, you, Lily, aren't you very fond of Elvis?"

  "Yes, but that's worship, not liking. I like his songs, but I don't want him to be my husband."

  The cat king's infidelity is also one of his symbols in a sense.

  "Actually... apart from fingers and Mr. Corner, actually we can have even more variations..."

  Catherine smiled mysteriously.

  How could there be more patterns in the 1960s than during the Internet explosion of the 21st century? Never mind, Catherine knew countless patterns.

  After all, in those years, various romantic action films and romantic horror films were prevalent.

  "What?"

  It's not just Ada, others have also taken an interest.

  "Uh..."

  Catherine listened, for a moment at a loss for words.

  "Perhaps I can show you some new tricks?" Catherine said.

  "Huh?"

  Everyone seems to be very interested

  "Uh... can I take it off now?"

  Catherine moved slightly.

  "No way, Kate. At least for today, you have to wear it." Lily said with her arms crossed, but she looked ridiculous in the spotted dog costume and those floppy dog ears.

  "But then I won't be able to perform anymore!"

  Catherine said.

  "Kate, you must want to take it off? No way~ Absolutely not~ Today we're all animals, you can't be an exception~" Lily said with a sly smile.

  "But maybe there really is a trick to it?" Edda seemed somewhat interested, although when they were together, she was always the one taking the lead.

  In the end, all the equipment on her body was taken off, but the innermost layer of "horse skin" was still left, and she was asked to wear the headgear properly. By the way, they also brought out a pair of evil horse tails that didn't need a waistband.

  In short, for Catherine, her 17th birthday was stimulating and unforgettable...

  When everything was over, it was already early dawn.

  "Ah, summer has arrived!"

  Lily, full of energy, was the first to recover and pulled up all the curtains.

  Now, the small town behind the villa has suddenly expanded in scale. High-rise buildings have started to be built, and the town is also becoming brighter.

  "Want to go out and take a walk?"

  Lisa also sat up.

  "Go out? But isn't it going to be very dangerous at night? We've never tried that before..." Aida hesitated.

  "I heard there was also a shootout..." Lily added.

  Several people nodded in agreement when mentioning gunfights.

  "The newspaper mentioned this again the other day. To be honest, America is really a dangerous place. I suddenly realized that we were quite bold back then, and if it weren't for Jenny's bodyguard, there would have been too many close calls!"

  "No one is interested in little kids," Lisa said.

  "That's not necessarily true." Catherine was still lying on the ground, her eyes covered, and perhaps because of her birthday, she became the most brutally attacked victim. However, Catherine's endurance was good, and in the end, everyone perished... except Elsa.

  However, Elsa started tidying up the house. Fortunately, the summer bedding had been taken away and replaced with ceramic tiles, otherwise it would have been a real hassle.

  "There are also many people interested in little kids," Lily said.

  "Is America... really that dangerous?"

  Elsa listened and then opened her mouth in a somewhat surprised expression.

  "Don't worry, Elsa. We have plenty of bodyguards." Catherine reassured her.

  "It's safer around here at night, the Mafia doesn't seem to care about this area. But in all of New York, the Mafia has a lot of power."

  Jenny said.

  "In that case, if we go out on the streets now, it should be fine, right?"

  "Actually I think we should let Catherine cut the cake first?"

  Jenny added another sentence.

  At this point, everyone couldn't help but laugh awkwardly. Because they played too intensely, even the cake wasn't cut.

  "Happy birthday, Kate!"

  Ada came over and hugged Catherine, then kissed her forehead.

  "Thank you." Catherine felt a little embarrassed.

  "Wait, I'll get that and come right back."

  Catherine said, just lifting her eye mask, but was suddenly pulled away by Lily.

  "Don't worry about this, come on, Kate!"

  Holding the dinner knife, Catherine was pushed in front of the cake.

  "Let's make a wish first!"

  "Uh-huh."

  Lily climbed up the ladder and then lit the topmost candle.

  Catherine silently made a wish.

  She hopes everything will develop in a good direction.

  But after making a wish, Catherine started to feel a headache because the cake was really too big.

  "Uh... what should we do?"

  "A symbolic cut will do."

  "Uh-huh."

  But just as Catherine raised her dinner knife and began to cut, Lily let out a loud cry.

  "War! War!"

  Lily immediately grabbed a handful of butter.

  Aida, quick on her feet, also grabbed the butter at this moment.

  And so, a great cake war began.

  Catherine figured out why they were preparing such a big cake: They simply wanted to have more fun!

  "Oh no!"

  Innocent Elsa was also hit by a stray bullet.

  Elsa!

  Catherine wanted to protect him, but soon the butter flew towards her.

  "Hey!"

  Catherine was almost speechless, but soon she too entered into "war" - an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

  While Catherine and her companions were having a great time, Bruce, the president of ARK Group, was holding a document.

  "Sir, this is the shareholding information of Baohu Umbrella Company and also the financial reports of ARK Group from previous years..."

  "Okay."

  Bruce has prepared the materials.

  He decided to formally transfer the shares to Catherine when she was 18 years old.

  Many states have laws prohibiting minors from owning stock, and some require that they be at least 21 years old before they are allowed to do so.

  So before this, Catherine's shares had always been taken care of by Bruce as her guardian.

  Although everything he prepared was something Catherine could find on her own, this was probably one of the rare places where Bruce could be of help.
