Inside the hospital room, Audrey and Yesenia were still chattering about skincare products while Bryan started playing games online with Ronin.Branden sat with his eyes closed, not saying a word, but no one dared approach him to disturb him.Paxton stood like a statue at Branden's side, motionless and imposing.With Paxton standing by Branden like that, others were even more afraid to go near him.Triston was the only one who was idle in the huge ward.He walked up and down the ward, looking around, but couldn't find any fun.Seeing Catherine enter, he suddenly had a bright idea and asked the crowd, "Since everyone is here, why don't we have barbecues?"Audrey was arranged in a high-end independent ward. There were only two wards on this entire floor, and they were separated, with direct elevator access. It would not affect other wards and routine medical work if they barbecued here.But after Triston said that, everyone's eyes attacked him.He glanced cautiously at Catherine
"What do you want to eat?"The man leaned against the window and sat looking at Catherine. He had a cold face, and his dark black eyes were filled with doting.Catherine had been eating barbecue almost daily lately and already felt slightly tired of it.She suddenly missed some simple home-cooked meals. "I want to eat those dishes you made the other day!""Okay!" The man responded softly, then ordered Paxton, "Go to the apartment!""Okay!"Paxton immediately responded, changed direction at the fork in the road, and rerouted to the apartment.Paxton couldn't see Catherine and Branden's expressions through the fender, but Branden's doting tone just now made him a bit panic. His hands were still shaking as he gripped the steering wheel.So, Branden had now become a cooking tool?Alas, the world might be about to change.Bryan followed them in his car and felt strange to see them suddenly change lanes."Are they going to change direction?"Triston, who was driven to this car, s
Leaving aside the benefits the Duncan Corporation would get after signing the chip, the Duncan Corporation would get tens of billions of dollars in profits just by receiving the news first.If the Duncan Corporation operated properly, the profit could still double!Ronin was a bit distressed, mainly because he didn't want to give the news for free."Boss, don't we charge a token sum? Wouldn't giving it away be a bit of a loss ?"He asked cautiously and was afraid to anger Catherine.Catherine glanced at the nearby snack cart and the fruit plate on the table with a faint smile in her cold eyes."It's already been charged!""Charged?" Ronin was very surprised."Mmmm!" Catherine answered, then said domineeringly, "Do as I say!"Hearing this, Ronin knew that there was no room for negotiation and responded quickly, "Boss, don't worry. I'll get it done!"When Catherine opened the door the next day, she smelled the aroma wafting from outside.The smell of freshly baked toast was fr
The news that the Hacker Alliance had exclusively released to the Duncan Corporation was indeed not ordinary news.Branden had wanted this chip for a long time and had been waiting for news to be released on the market.If there were any rumors, no matter how much the cost, he would take the exclusive rights.Hacker Alliance, one of the largest chip bases in the world, actually took the initiative to release news to the Duncan Corporation, which was indeed unusual."Paxton, arrange for Carlo to come back."Paxton understood Branden's intention. Branden wanted to put Carlo Duncan in charge of this matter. "Okay, I'll contact Carlo immediately!"If Carlo was in charge of this matter, Paxton could rest assured. Otherwise, he worried he might not have enough energy to handle it.As Paxton was about to leave, he seemed to remember something and suddenly turned around to Branden again."Mr. Duncan, do you think it could be related to Miss Swann?"Although they were not sure what Cat
It had been a while since Catherine had spoken. In Ronin's mind, this pretty much confirmed Catherine's refusal to participate in the upcoming national art competition.But then, to everyone's surprise, Catherine suddenly spoke up."Does anyone know how long this competition will last?" she inquired.Both Ronin and Bryan were taken aback, especially Ronin.However, Bryan knew more about the competition, so Ronin didn't reply, and Bryan responded to Catherine."Boss, the competition consists of preliminaries, semi-finals, and the grand finals. It'll take about a month. They've streamlined the competition this year, and there's a rule that the top three in the preliminaries can bypass the semi-finals and go straight to the grand finals."The competition wasn't an everyday affair. To accommodate student participants, it was scheduled on weekends to accommodate student participants, except for the special grand finals.Bryan handed the competition schedule to Catherine. Coincidental
Korbin was at Mercy Hospital.At that moment, a group of important individuals, including the hospital's director, Rhys, had gathered outside the operating room.Korbin looked at the director with an anxious expression on his face. "Mr. Parry, how is my son's condition? Is it serious?"Rhys gazed at Korbin seriously and replied, "Mr. Swann, rest assured. Our top-notch surgeon is performing the surgery on Mr. Johnathan. Mr. Johnathan's condition is not too severe and won't affect the later stages."Korbin nodded and gratefully shook Rhys' hand."Thank you, Mr. Parry. I appreciate your efforts in handling this matter."Korbin signaled to his secretary on the side. The secretary immediately took out an envelope from his pocket.It was a familiar routine. There was no need to guess. Rhys knew exactly what Korbin meant.He proactively declined the envelope offered by the secretary and looked polite as ever at Korbin."Mr. Swann, with your close relationship with Mr. Duncan, these a
When the secretary delivered the vehicle appraisal report to Korbin, he couldn't remain calm any longer.Korbin had some inkling of Liana's thoughts, so despite his doubts, he immediately instructed the secretary to inspect the car that Johnathan had been in when the incident occurred."Mr. Swann, the brake pads on Mr. Johnathan's car have been tampered with," the secretary said.Upon hearing this, Rachael, who was standing nearby, couldn't sit still any longer.She stood up. Her eyes were red and filled with hatred.She shouted, "That jinx did this? Damn it. How dare she?"I'm going to kill her. I must go and kill her!"However, Liana, who was standing beside them, remained somewhat composed at that point. She reached out to hold her mother."Mom, although we suspect that Johnathan's incident wasn't an accident, we don't have evidence that Catherine did it. Shouldn't we investigate further?" she suggested.Rachael was furious, and her face was contorted with anger."Who else
Under Catherine's relentless barrage of questions, Liana was left speechless.Her eyes widened, and despite her anger, she had no way to counter.Catherine raised another crucial question. She looked at Liana with cold eyes as she interrogated, "We're not trailing behind Johnathan. How could we possibly know what happened to him? If Johnathan had an accident, shouldn't you have informed us immediately?"You didn't even call us. You just storm into the hospital room to interrogate us."What are you trying to achieve, Liana?"Catherine's words left Liana with no opportunity to respond.She didn't expect her ulterior motives to be so transparent to Catherine, and she certainly didn't anticipate Catherine publicly confronting her like this. It left her speechless.As Audrey watched the two of them face off, she felt a headache coming on.She didn't think Liana was intentionally trying to achieve something. She thought Liana was just overly concerned about Johnathan."Alright. Stop
