At the Duncan Corporation, a high-level meeting was in progress, and Branden, who had maintained a constant expression throughout in the head seat, suddenly furrowed his brow.The executives below were scared out of their wits and shivered, especially the manager who was reporting the situation.He was already nervous. Seeing the change in Branden's expression, he was now trembling in fear as if seized by an epileptic fit, unsure which part of his report had angered the big boss.In that split second, Branden felt a chill down his spine, suspecting someone was cursing him behind his back. He could not help but furrow his brows.Sensing the change in the atmosphere of the meeting room, the manager, who was reporting, paused in his narration. Branden waved his hand, gesturing for the other party to continue.When the manager saw that Branden had no inclination to burst into anger, he carefully continued, "Based on the latest data summary from last week, as of the end of last week, o
When Catherine caught sight of Edson, she felt a moment of annoyance and turned around, preparing to leave.At this point, Edson had already spotted Catherine. Seeing Catherine about to leave, he hurriedly caught up. "Cassie!"Amelia was puzzled by Catherine's sudden change of direction and did not know what had happened. Then she witnessed the handsome foreign guy suddenly chasing after Catherine and shouting her name.Amelia was dumbfounded, muttering to herself, "Oh my goodness, Super Catherine is truly different. Even such a top-notch foreign guy is chasing after her."Hearing footsteps behind her, Catherine halted, hands in her pockets. She then adopted a cool demeanor and stared at Edson.Displaying a domineering attitude, she said with an icy tone devoid of emotion, "If you think a beating isn't enough, feel free to try."Catherine assumed a ready-to-fight posture, scaring Edson pale. He had never suffered such humiliation in his life. Among all the women globally, only Ca
Edson looked proudly at the scene. Even though danger might be looming ahead, he had no regrets.Witnessing Branden's anger was not something an ordinary person could achieve. He provocatively looked straight at Branden. He was fully aware of what a man could not tolerate and was challenging Branden's limits.The situation reached a stalemate, and a fight was about to erupt.Suddenly, Catherine, who had been silent on the side, picked up a crab, snapped off a leg, and casually brought it to her mouth.Seeing her nonchalant demeanor, Edson was taken aback, exclaiming, "Cassie..."Catherine disdainfully glanced at him and retorted, her tone cold and sharp, "Stay out of my business if you don't understand me. Shut up and mind your meal."She casually placed a crab on Branden's plate in front of him. "Crack open it for me."Branden said nothing, gladly taking the crab and expertly extracting the meat.Edson, puzzled and angered, questioned Branden. "She's allergic, and you're crack
When Edson woke up, he was almost scared to death. He had been tied up on the bed by someone, and the person tying the ropes was obviously very professional. No matter how hard Edson struggled, he couldn't break free from the restraints.What was even more terrifying was the group of grotesque figures around him, greedily sticking out their tongues. Seeing this, Edson almost vomited on the spot. At the critical moment, his men arrived in time and rescued him. Although Edson was saved, he had also suffered a lot of torture. The group of grotesque figures had stripped him of his clothes. He had many bruises on his body.· Sitting in the car, now safe, Edson couldn't help but explode with rage. He kicked the back of the front seat and angrily shouted, "Find out who did this. When we catch the culprit, I'm going to kill him." His subordinate sitting in the front seat responded meekly, "Boss, the surveillance in the parking lot has been tampered with, and we can't find any clues."
The convention officially began, and Catherine sat on the left of Marshall, with a representative from Ellinos Academy sitting on his right. This university ranked far above Styre University in the world. Unfortunately, their research and development in this experimental project were far behind that of Styre University's laboratory. The Ellinos Academy representatives were very dissatisfied with this.Seeing Marshall bringing a student here, the representative of Ellinos Academy, Atticus Sterling, sarcastically remarked, "It looks like Styre University's research has made breakthrough progress, huh?"This sudden remark attracted everyone's attention. No one knew what was going on with Atticus. Curiously, someone asked him, "Mr. Sterling, have you received some secret information?"Atticus sneered. "No, but it's just obvious, isn't it? Look, Professor Hartley is bringing his student to this convention, allowing a freshman to communicate with us. If there hadn't been significant ach
The people who came to the scene were all authoritative figures in the academic field. After Catherine had finished expressing her views, she handed over the floor to others.With someone as influential as Catherine setting a good example, the convention went very smoothly. During the two-hour convention, Catherine, apart from listening to their discussion for a little while at the beginning, played games on her phone the whole time without any restraint. Although she behaved so casually. However, not a single person dared to complain. With her formidable abilities, who would dare to speak against her?After the convention ended, Catherine stood up, ready to leave, but someone stopped her. She lowered her eyes and looked at the person with a faint gaze. "What's the matter?"Atticus rubbed his hands, looking a bit embarrassed. It was evident that he was indeed nervous. "Miss Swann, I really admire your talent and your research in the professional field..."Catherine didn't have ti
Catherine lay bored next to Branden, playing with her phone. Suddenly, a buzzing sound caught her attention, and she looked up to see Branden answering the phone that was ringing next to him.Catherine was close enough to hear the voice on the other end of the phone. It was Aidan. "Mr. Duncan, where are you? Let's have dinner together!"Branden glanced down at Catherine, who was comfortably resting on his lap. He heard her lazily reply, "I don't want to go out to eat."Just as Branden was about to refuse, Aidan heard Catherine's voice and immediately said, "Let's have dinner at home. I'll cook. I'm really good at it. Catherine, long time no see. Let's eat together!" His tone was urgent as if he was afraid that Catherine and the others had forgotten him. Catherine felt it was a good idea and didn't hesitate to give instructions. "Tell him we'll meet at the supermarket!"She would like to choose the dishes if they were going to have dinner. Without Branden needing to relay the me
Aidan was indeed good at cooking. The Lanes had moved overseas many years ago. Despite Aidan's usual carefree appearance, resembling a playboy, he was patriotic. Most importantly, he had a strong love for Eskanese cuisine. To preserve the authenticity of his taste buds, Aidan had sought out many chefs to learn how to cook.What started as a fun activity became his proficiency, and his culinary skills were now ready to be showcased. Aidan was busy cooking while Branden emerged from the kitchen after cutting the fruit.Catherine was playing games with Triston. Totally different from Catherine, who remained calm, Triston was visibly excited, veins bulging on his neck. When Catherine scored a direct hit on the opponent in the game, Triston cheered, "Wow, Cassie, that was awesome! Now, those wimps on the other side won't be able to act tough! You beat the shit out of them! Anyway, I'll use a frying pan to knock them out."Seeing their excitement, Branden sat down next to Catherine an
