Chapter 49

"Speaking of which, the clothes I prepared for Kate, she seems to have never worn them. She doesn't care about her body at all!"

Lisa seemed to recall something.

"Uh..."

Catherine really didn't know what to say.

To be honest, the clothes Lisa made were indeed getting better and better, and Catherine really liked wearing the clothes Lisa made. The problem was that wearing those clothes to school... it was really inappropriate.

Of course, there was no problem wearing these clothes outside. But the current security situation meant that Catherine didn't dare to dress like that. Unless she had some bodyguards, or she herself knew some martial arts, it would be fine.

"Oh~"

"Slap—"

Lily suddenly jumped into the pool, splashing a large wave of water.

"Alright, let's discuss this later. Now, it's time to party~"

Ada also ran to the pool with a smile.

Catherine was about to go over, but at that moment, Lily's voice came over.

"Lisa, this fabric... has a problem..."

Ada was wearing a pink one-piece swimsuit. But now, it looked more like flesh color.

Clearly, the fabric became transparent when wet.

And Lisa hadn't sewn in any padding, so now it really looked no different from being transparent...

So, Catherine wisely chose not to go in for the moment and instead walked over to the barbecue equipment. There was a barbecue area next to the outdoor swimming pool, which gave a strange feeling.

But at that moment, Lily suddenly surfaced from the bottom of the pool, grabbed Catherine, and pulled her into the water.

Catherine splashed a few times before she could stand steady.

"Hey! Lily!"

At that moment, Catherine's clothes also became transparent.

"You can't be an exception, Kate~"

Lily teased.

"Although there was a small accident, it's not a big deal..." Lisa blushed a bit, but she quickly regained her composure, "And we've already seen each other naked, so what's the problem now?"

Catherine shook her head and rolled her eyes.

The water in the pool wasn't very deep, only about 1.5 or 1.6 meters, just enough to float without the risk of drowning.

The sunset cast a golden glow on the water.

The scene was indeed beautiful.

"Are we going to spend the night here tonight?" Catherine suddenly asked.

"That's right. But there's only one room ready, so we'll have to sleep together. The other places still need to be cleaned up."

Catherine nodded.

She looked at the now semi-transparent swimsuit.

For some reason, this half-covered outfit gave her an excited feeling, but she couldn't quite pinpoint what exactly made her feel so "pleased."

Then came dinner.

Everyone gathered around the barbecue grill next to the pool, joking and eating.

After dinner, they went to rest. However, because the house wasn't fully ready, there wasn't much to do.

Later, they pooled their money and bought the villa.

However, they couldn't move in immediately because there were many things missing inside, and it needed renovation. It would take about a month to get everything done.

During this month, Lisa and Jenny were always busy with something.

And Catherine spent this month completing the company's preparatory activities.

For this, Catherine temporarily recruited a group of college students to conduct surveys among veterans, asking if they were willing to become mercenaries and if there were any other physically fit ordinary people interested in joining such an organization.

Catherine had already decided that as soon as the survey results came in and met her expectations, she would contact Old White.

But when Catherine told Bruce about this, a problem arose...

"What? Kate, you want to get into the mercenary business?!"

Bruce was shocked.

If Catherine's other industries were related, the mercenary business had no connection to her previous industries.

How could she think of this?

To be honest, Bruce was really scared, and deeply so.

"Kate, you're spreading yourself too thin."

This was the second time Bruce had warned Catherine.

"Can't making money be enough?"

"But you'll also have endless trouble."

"I'm not afraid of trouble."

"But I am, Kate. A company like this, if it's too small, it has no value or profit. But if it's too big, do you think you can handle it alone?"

"Uh..."

"Industries like this are too dangerous, and you're very smart, so you don't need to get involved."

"But it's a huge profit! And no one is getting into this field right now!"

"Just because no one is doing it doesn't mean you should. Pioneers are often knocked down by those who come after. You don't have enough strength, unless the country sees you, but the probability is very low, Kate."

"But..."

"No buts, Kate. We have no background, no support. If someone wants to take our business, what can we do?"

Catherine was speechless.

Indeed, even if she succeeded, what then?

She had no support or backing, and in the end, she would just be meat on a chopping board.

Bruce was right.

"Alright, Kate, I'll keep your documents for now. As for the company, I'll handle it, but you can't be involved."

"Hey! How can you do that!"

Catherine protested.

"I'll consider giving the company back to you when you have enough capital. For now, I'll take over. And the legal representative is me, not you, understand?"

"Feudal! Dictatorial! Capitalist!"

"We are capitalists, Kate."

Catherine pouted.

"Brother Run, Comrade Enlai, if you were born in America... how wonderful it would be... the glory of communism, the red medal, the martial arts..."

But when she thought about it, Catherine felt a warm feeling in her heart.

There are always things in this world that can't be as one wishes, but there are also people who care and love you.

After Bruce's words, Catherine calmed down.

Indeed, in such an industry, if someone wanted to take her achievements, how could she protect herself?

Some things can't be taken for granted.

"Sigh... I really hope this country can change peacefully."

Catherine sighed in dissatisfaction again.

...

Hey, where is this book dark? Where is it heavy?

There's no piercing or tattoos! I'm very pure!
