All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 379 Bizarre Story

At this critical decision-making moment, all were focused on Paxton, hoping his words could reduce the sudden tension in the conference room and save everyone.

Paxton felt an enormous amount of pressure as each and every one of these people was trying to drag him toward his demise. If Miss Catherine Swann were here, everything could be resolved.

With just one sentence, Catherine could appease Branden’s anger.

However, he was not Miss Catherine Swann. Considering the earnest plea of the crowd, Paxton made the daring decision to give it a try, even at the risk of his own life.

“Sir, perhaps things are not as bad as they seem. Remember the previous experiment? Arbotte Laboratory sold their product to Zerwick at a discounted price, didn’t they? Maybe there is a similar possibility as well this time. What do you think?”

Branden slowly turned his head and glanced at Paxton. With one glance, it was as if a sharp blade had instantly pierced Paxton’s heart, bringing him endless oppression.

Startled, Paxton immediately knelt down and obediently apologized.

“Sir, I messed up big time. Please punish me!”

Branden’s chilly voice echoed throughout the conference room, leaving everyone too scared to breathe.

“I spend so much money to raise you all, and you let me rely on others for their verdict. Is this how you repay me?

The simple sentence left the attending experimental personnel ashamed and embarrassed. They knew that what Branden said was very reasonable.

“Even though Arbotte Laboratory might release the results of their experiments, that was ultimately something held in someone else’s hand and would inevitably be subject to their restraint.

“What if the other party becomes unhappy?

“If they don’t want to give, they don’t have to. The best result is always keeping things in your own hands,” thought they. Finally, the leader of the lab stepped forward.

“Mr. Duncan, our team is doing everything we can to cooperate with Dr. Jon and strive to give you the results within a week. Even though the first phase of the experiment in Arbotte Laboratory is completed, as long as we catch up in the later stages, there is still a chance to get ahead and gain an advantage before the other party!”

Branden hired the personnel himself and naturally knew their abilities. One week should be the limit.

Since the leader made a promise, Branden gladly accepted it. “If I don’t see any results in a week, then you can leave on your own!”

The team leader’s face turned pale momentarily, and he silently nodded to accept the task.

“Thanks a lot, Mr. Duncan!”

After that, the team members of the experiment left, and the organization members entered the conference room. Having more tightly scheduled meetings in a row, Paxton felt his lifespan would also decrease.

Branden combined the two meetings to save time and stay with Miss Catherine Swann. The leader of this team was Carlo Duncan. They all grew up together and were explicitly trained to stay by Branden’s side.

Unlike Paxton, who had followed Branden all year round, Carlo had been stationed in Oceanvile, taking care of the organization’s various matters.

Today, they received an urgent message, which was of great importance, and it was necessary to ask Branden to come forward for consultation.

“Sir, we have received information. The people from Asmein are all searching for Dr. Seven. It seems they want to seize the research findings in Dr. Seven’s hands!”

Dr. Seven, a globally renowned expert in the field of food, made tremendous contributions toward tackling global hunger.

However, Dr. Seven had always been mysterious. The outside world knew very little about them. It was unclear whether Dr. Seven was a man or a woman or what he or she looked like.

The only thing known was that Dr. Seven served Zerwick and had not only helped resolve the issue of grain production but also cultivated numerous rare varieties. Dr. Seven was considered a top talent that was highly sought after by countries around the world.

“Sir, the higher official has sent us a message, hoping we can protect Dr. Seven. However, they have already lost contact with Dr. Seven for over a month, and there is no news about Dr. Seven.”

This matter was indeed delicate. Asmein and Zerwick had never been friendly in recent years. Now, Asmein was attempting to poach Dr. Seven, undoubtedly in an attempt to break free from the constraints of Zerwick and upset the balance.

They could only hope for the higher official to quickly contact Dr. Seven and keep this top-notch research expert firmly in their grasp to maintain the balance between the two countries. Branden quickly made a decision. ”

Bring back Cory to work with you. Let’s find Dr. Seven first before anything else!”

“Will do!” Carlo eagerly responded. The largest intelligence network of the Duncans was under the control of Cory. Finding someone would be much easier with the cooperation of Cory.

The matter would become much easier if they could find Dr. Seven a step ahead of the people from Asmein and ensure his protection. Paxton suddenly remembered a message that had been sent by Cory and reported it immediately.

“Sir, I have heard that someone from Hacker Alliance has taken on a mission to investigate Red Star!”

Branden showed no reaction upon hearing this, but Carlo, who was standing aside, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Investigate us? We have always had no conflicts with Hacker Alliance. Why would they take on a mission to investigate us?”

“Who knows?” Paxton shrugged.

Whether to investigate or not was irrelevant. It all depended on how Branded decided. After all, whether it was the Red Star organization or 417 Laboratory, there was only one highest decision maker.

Branden vaguely sensed a complicated relationship between Hacker Alliance and Catherine, so he did not want to take action against Hacker Alliance.

Hacker Alliance now had quite a lot of cooperation with the Duncan Corporation, so his interferences would undoubtedly have a certain impact.

“Keep your eyes on it!”

“Sir, rest assured. I will keep a close watch on Red Star!” Carlo assured firmly. Since Branden entrusted him with Red Star one year ago, he vowed to protect it and never disappoint Branden.

Just as the meeting was about to conclude, Paxton wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, only to receive a shocking news out of the blue. He looked up, his eyes avoiding contact, with a slightly trembling expression.

“Sir, the men following Miss Swann have reported that they lost her.”

The man who remained unperturbed when faced with various decisions just now immediately became solemn upon hearing this news. His brows were furrowed tightly.

Even Carlo was startled on the side, secretly wondering, “Who is this Miss Swann? She can influence Branden’s emotions. It’s truly astounding.”

Branden whipped out his phone and made a call right away.

“Hello…”

His furrowed brow finally relaxed as the lazy and relaxed sound came through the phone. When he heard the lazy and low voice, a slight smile appeared on Branden’s handsome face, making him appear much gentler.

“What are you doing?”

Seeing such a scene, Paxton stood up with particular perceptiveness. Carlo was still foolishly sitting in his spot. If Paxton hadn’t dragged him away, that idiot would still be acting as a mere bystander.

Being yanked out by Paxton, Carlo still had some discontent in him. “Why did you pull me? I haven’t been given the order to leave yet, have I?”

Paxton silently rolled his eyes. “How could I have such a terrible teammate?” wondered he.

“You are foolish, but don’t drag me into your foolishness. You want to stay inside like a third wheel. How many lives do you have to waste?”

Carlo was still in a state of confusion and stared blankly at Paxton.

“Who is it that is calling boss? Why has his emotions suddenly changed so drastically?”

Paxton rolled his eyes at Carlo and disdainfully said, “Mrs. Duncan of the Duncans!”

Carlo was left in a daze as Paxton’s figure receded into the distance.

“Branden has taken a wife?

“This is truly a bizarre story!” thought he.
