All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 871 Catherine's Strange Reaction Catherine received a text from Audrey when the driver who had arranged to drop Audrey off returned.

"Miss Swann, Miss Audrey has returned to her apartment, but we met a man at the door that Miss Audrey says is her boyfriend." The driver dutifully reported and Catherine listened in silence.

She knew there had to be something the driver hadn't said. If they had just met Audrey's boyfriend, the driver wouldn't have made such a point of emphasizing it all over again.

Catherine said, "Just say what you want to say." The driver nodded. "I felt that Miss Audrey's expression at that tseemed a bit strange. She looked a little disgusted or even intimidated." In the driver's opinion, under normal circumstances, when girls met their boyfriends at their doors, they would be surprised and happy, but Audrey's expression at that twas indeed a bit strange.

Although it was Audrey who let him go, he was still a bit uneasy in his heart and reported this matter to Catherine after he cback.

"Okay, I got it," Catherine responded. After that, the driver silently left.

Branden, who was sitting on the side, inquired in a low voice, "Should we look into it?" He also felt that this matter was strange. He thought Audrey didn't look like someone who would immediately accept a new relationship.

"No need." Catherine directly rejected Branden's proposal. "I've already arranged for someone to look into it." Hearing that she had already started to investigate, Branden stayed out of the way. The next day, a heavyweight news shocked the entire Loxton financial circle.

A while ago, the two big groups that were still fighting fiercely, suddenly announced their cooperation. The outside world was in an uproar as a result.

The stock prices of the two groups had been rising all the way. Although both groups made profits, the Duncan Corporation lost in terms of reputation.

The Duncan Corporation was called a traitor by netizens. When the Duncan Corporation fought against foreign monopolies with its own strength back then, the crowd applauded, but it was only a short tlater that it collaborated with a foreign company, which made everyone start to dislike it.

"Mr. Duncan, the delegation from Breen Group is here. Should we let them in?" Paxton inquired cautiously. He could tell Branden wasn't in a good mood right now.

The delegation from Breen Group cjust in tto let Branden vent his anger.

Branden said, "Let them in." "Okay." Paxton slowly retreated. Shortly thereafter, the office door that had just been closed was opened again. Paxton walked into Branden's office with the representative members of the Breen Group.

They were the general manager and the deputy director of Breen Group. Both of them had high positions in the Breen Group, and they only took orders from Shane.

As soon as the general manager entered the office, he looked at Branden with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Duncan, congratulations. The Duncan Corporation's stock price has risen quite a bit today." Branden was expressionless. He looked at that general manager with cold eyes. "Who gave you permission to publicize our collaboration?" The oppressive feeling made the general manager of Breen Group feel a bit creepy.

He only felt this sense of oppression in front of Shane before. He didn't expect that he would actually feel it today in front of a youth who was even younger than him by about ten years.

After freezing for a moment, the general manager reacted. He looked at Branden with a smile on his face and coughed lightly. "Mr. Duncan, regardless of the process, the current result is good, isn't it? I believe that with your wisdom and intelligence, you wouldn't be the one to hold on to the details. You value the result more, right?" "Humph!" Branden snorted coldly, his cold and disdainful gaze sweeping back and forth on the general manager. His fierce and hostile eyes intimidated the general manager of Breen Group and made him swallow back what he wanted to say next.

Branden's attitude made it difficult for him to understand. He secretly thought in his heart, “This is clearly a mutually beneficial situation. Why is Branden unwilling to make it public?" Paxton took out the contract signed by both parties and placed it in front of everyone. "This is the agreement we signed. One of the clauses clearly states that this project cannot be made public. Otherwise, we have the right to terminate the contract at any time." The general manager of Breen Group was a bit flustered when he saw the Duncan Corporation's resolute attitude and the appearance that they were going to make a big deal out of it. "Mr. Duncan, what are you..." Without waiting for him to finish his words, the deputy manager beside him took out a check from among his pockets and handed it over. "Mr. Duncan, you are right. It was us who breached the contract first. However, our purpose is also for the benefit of both parties. The contract stipulates that you have the right to cancel the contract, but at the stime, the supplementary clause also says that as long as we give the appropriate compensation, the project cooperation can still be continued, right?" The general manager of Breen Group looked at the deputy director beside him in surprise and instantly understood why their chairman suddenly requested the deputy director to attend with him. It turned out that their chairman had long anticipated the current situation and arranged such a move.

Branden's face darkened, and his expression could tell everyone his dissatisfaction at the moment.

No one would have a good attitude after being fooled by someone.

"Walk them out." The simple words showed Branden's mood at this moment.

Paxton thought in his heart as he coldly gestured the members of the Breen Group to leave, "Hmph, you guys dare to negotiate with Mr. Duncan. You're seeking death, aren't you? We're kind enough not to use force to drive you out. 11 The deputy director smiled mysteriously. He put down the check before turning to leave.

When the members of Breen Group were gone, Paxton returned to the office.

He cautiously asked Branden, "Mr. Duncan, we're being fooled." Branden's eyes lowered and his cold gaze fell on the check on the table. " Take it and donate it.” "Okay." Although Paxton was a little reluctant to part with this money in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything on the surface.

He muttered inwardly, "Wow, it's such a large amount of money. He's worthy of being Mr. Duncan. He can donate such a large amount of money without even blinking his eyes." "Super Catherine, Super Catherine...' Amelia rushed into Catherine's office and placed her cell phone in front of her. "Look!" Catherine glanced over seeing the phone's screen all covered with the latest financial news.

"Amelia, you're a student from the electronic information engineering department. Why are you so concerned about the financial world?" Amelia thought Catherine hadn't seen the news yet, so she quickly explained,

"It's not that I'm concerned about the financial world, but today's trend is related to the Duncan dather Corporation O Super Catherine, look. The Duncan Corporation actually cooperates with the Breens."

Although Amelia didn't know what kind of grudge Catherine had against the Breens, she knew that the Breens didn't get along with Catherine and that the current owner of the Duncan Corporation was Branden. In Amelia's opinion, no matter what, Branden, who was Catherine's boyfriend, should not cooperate with the Breens.

Catherine naturally noticed the news. She just didn't care at all. "Well, I saw it, but it has nothing to do with me." After saying that, Catherine continued to deal with her work.

Her attitude made Amelia a little puzzled. She asked inwardly, "Isn't Catherine even angry?"

She hesitantly looked at Catherine.

Seeing that Catherine was m concentrating on her work, although she felt strange, she didn't want to bother her any further, so she quietly left. X
