Chapter 1404

One of the shop owners said to her, “Why don’t you look in the alley? There are a few shops there.

Maybe that person hasn’t gone there yet.”

Catherine nodded. She was still familiar with Melbourne.

People rarely went into that alley. There were just a few elderly there maintaining their businesses in
dilapidated stores.

She had not gone far inside when she saw a man in a black T-shirt surrounded by several hooligans.

“Hey, kid. You’re pretty rich. I saw that you bought all the wreaths in this area. You must have a lot of
money, eh?” The leader grinned and swung the bat in his hands. “Leave the watch and your wallet
behind and we’ll let you go.”

“This watch was given to me by my dad. It’s expensive. I can’t give it to you.” The man refused. He had
an accent, and his pronunciation was not accurate.

Catherine raised her brows. She could immediately tell by the man’s voice that he was very young.
Maybe he had just finished college. He must have grown up abroad, so he was not very familiar with
English.

Maybe his parents were from Melbourne and had not come back for a long time, so he wanted to visit
their ancestors’ graves and pay respects.

He was so young, but he bought all the wreaths available for his deceased elders. He must be hoping
that they would live well in the afterlife.



Catherine had a good impression of the young man. “Haha, do you think you have a choice?” The
ruffian snorted. “You stinky brat, hurry up and

hand the stuff over. Otherwise, you’ll have to crawl to leave.”

“Mugging someone in broad daylight. I think you guys must be crazy. ” Catherine went over with a faint
smile.



Today, she wore a pair of ripped jeans, a white T- shirt, and a faded denim jacket. A pair of sunglasses
hung from the bridge of her nose, making her look like she was in her early 2os at first glance.

Although her features were hidden by the glasses, it was clear that her face was beautiful with her
defined nose bridge and moderately thick lips. Even

with the maple shade lipstick, she looked so bright and stunning that everyone was shocked.

Matthew Costner looked at her with a thumping heart.

For some reason, he felt that this woman gave him a familiar feeling. He had seen photos of Sheryl
Jones when she was young and thought that his mother was the most beautiful woman, but when he
saw this young woman in front of him, he suddenly found that her looks were not inferior to his
mother’s.

Although he could not see her eyes, he felt that her eyes must be very beautiful too.

Rebecca was also a beauty. However, compared to the woman in front of him, Rebecca’s facial
features were completely overshadowed.

Catherine also looked at the young man in front of her.



She froze.

The young man was 6’2. His short hair made his mixed-raced facial features more defined, and he
exuded an aura of arrogance and unruliness. His eyes were a shocking blue and looked very beautiful.
They were able to bewitch others.

With such looks, he would be the best-looking man no matter where he went.

It looked like he was only three or four years younger than her.

“Woah, where did this hot chick come from? She delivered herself right to our doorstep.” One of the
ruffian’s eyes brightened when he saw Catherine. “ Babe, why don’t you come home with me? I won’t
rob him then.”

“Beautiful damsel, hurry up and leave. I’ll stop them. ” Matthew raised his arm and shielded her behind
him.

The corners of Catherine’s mouth twitched.

What? Beautiful damsel? Which remote ravine did this guy crawl out from?
