Matthew''s phone rang for quite a while before he answered it.


    He sounded rather surprised, yet he kept his voice low. "Hi. I didn''t expect you to take the initiative to call me."


    "Am I interrupting your date?" As a sharp-witted person, Catherine guessed that it might be inconvenient for him to speak now.


    "I''m not on a date. I was just chatting with my family." Matthew exined with a faint smile, "As I said, I don''t have a girlfriend."


    "Are your parents in Canberra?" Catherine was a little surprised. It was no wonder he rarely contacted her.


    Indeed, he previously contacted her a lot to inquire about the vi and get familiar with Canberra.


    "They came a few days ago."


    Amid her thoughts, Catherine realized that was exactly when something


    happened to Hill Corporation. "Are you free for lunch tomorrow? I''d like to ask you something."


    "That''s rare. I''ve always been the one to consult you,"


    Matthew said jokingly.


    "Will you be avable? Otherwise..."


    "Yes. Let''s make it at noon tomorrow." Matthew agreed categorically.


    After hanging up, Matthew felt quite uneasy while standing on the balcony. Could Catherine have found out about something since she called him at this time? It was unlikely as he had always been cautious.


    Perhaps she wanted to ask him for help regarding Hill Corporation''s matter.


    "Matthew, who were you talking to on the phone? Why are you so mysterious? You even walked away." Sheryl, who was in the living room, waved at him." Come over. Your sister has brought home some good food."


    "It''s from an old restaurant in Canberra that my friend rmended. Mom, I know you love spicy food, and so do I. That''s why I ordered a set for takeaway," Reba said while beaming.


    "It seems that daughters are more caring." Sheryl purposely shot a look at her


    son.


    Matthew felt aggrieved. "Mom, if I care for you too much, Dad will find me annoying for being the third wheel."


    Titus snorted. "I''m not as petty as you."


    Matthew chuckled silently. ''Who else in the world


    could be pettier than you?''


    "Enough. What''s the fuss between you guys?" Sheryl red at Titus and Matthew. Then, she asked Reba gently, "What did you do during your outing with Bryce today? How was it?"


    "We went to Zenith Clubhouse that he owns. I also invited two of my old friends there, but..." Reba paused. Suddenly, she furrowed her brows in annoyance.


    "But what?" Sheryl thought Reba was taken advantage of.


    "But halfway through the gathering, Catherine and two of her friends came to look for trouble. One of them was the Eldest Young Master of the Snow family. Luckily, Young Master Zeller was around, but he got into a fight with Eldest Young Master Snow because I was humiliated," Reba said pathetically.


    Matthew was shocked, while Sheryl scowled. "Who is the Snow family?"


    Matthew could not help but exin, "Nathan from the Snow family is going to be the new prime minister of Australia in half a month. Young Master Snow is Nathan''s nephew. Also, I heard Rodney and Shaun are as thick as thieves." 1


    Sheryl said indifferently, "It''s a shame that I returned toote. If I''de back earlier, I would''ve stopped Nathan from running for prime minister." "Wifey, if you''re unhappy about it, I can make some trouble for the Snow family," Titus immediately suggested to please his wife.
