Branden was dealing with business from Bothor when a message popped up on the screen. Because Catherine was playing games in the office, Paxton dared not knock on the door when he had something to report. He could only communicate with Branden through online software. He sent, [Boss, something has happened. You need to take a look at this.]Squinting, Branden opened the message sent by Paxton.Casier Real Estate was a subsidiary of the Duncan Corporation, specializing in the real estate business in Casier. It was considered a leading company in the local real estate industry, known for its good reputation and ethical practices. It had gained significant popularity in Casier and was one of the most profitable subsidiaries under the Duncan Corporation.Just three hours ago, news broke on the internet about an incident at a newly delivered property of Casier Real Estate. During the renovation, a floor collapse resulted in injuries to the workers, causing them to be rushed to the hospit
Casier Real Estate was thrust into the limelight due to the scandal surrounding the quality of their properties.Several high-ranking individuals associated with Casier Real Estate were gathered in Branden's office for a meeting. However, their proposed solutions were too conventional and couldn't directly address the pressing issues at hand.Branden erupted in fury, leaving everyone trembling in fear. Only Paxton secretly felt relieved, grateful that Catherine was present. Otherwise, given Branden's temper, they might have all been dismissed by now.Branden scanned the room with a cold gaze, and no one dared to meet his eyes. He angrily demanded, "Do we have any new proposals?"Silence filled the room, and everyone's hearts raced, but no one dared to speak up.Suddenly, Paxton received a new message, which he promptly presented to Branden. "Mr. Duncan, you need to see the latest tweet."Upon hearing Paxton's words, many people took out their phones to check the latest news, whic
Through the post and the efforts of the Duncan Corporation's public relations team, public opinion was instantly reversed. Casier Real Estate, which had been in crisis, cleared the obstacles ahead and saw its stock price continuously rise due to this crisis.Hearing the report, Shane was livid. He slammed the documents on the table and glared at one of the senior executives in front of him. "Is this the result you're showing me? I've spent so much money on you, painstakingly laid out plans, and this is how you repay me? I warned you not to let anyone get hold of evidence. How could you mess it up?"If it hadn't been for the Duncan Corporation obtaining a recorded confession from the construction workers, turning the tables so quickly wouldn't have been possible.Dragging Casier Real Estate into trouble was equivalent to finding a breakthrough to take on the Duncan Corporation. Then, Shane would slowly drag the Duncan Corporation into the mire, just as he would deal with any other op
The private room's door was opened, and the waiter led several people into it.Not only was Ronin there, but even Withal and Zobber were invited.Ronin froze for a moment when he entered and saw Catherine. He turned his head to look at the nearby Zobber. "You even invited Catherine?"Zobber was also a bit surprised when she saw Catherine. She had originally joked with Ronin that she would treat him to a meal, but she wasn't the one who was actually going to treat him."Paxton didn't tell me it was Mr. Duncan who treated us to lunch. I thought it was him who would treat us to lunch!" said Zobber.Hearing this, Ronin and Withal simultaneously rolled their eyes toward Zobber.They thought Zobber was stupid. They didn't want to pay attention to her.Paxton was Branden's most loyal lackey. How could he suddenly treat everyone to a meal? Ronin and Withal felt there was something fishy about it as soon as they heard it.They thought only a brainless woman like Zobber would believe tha
Faced with Branden's dominance, Catherine shrugged and looked indifferent.She said, "We weren't doing you a favor by stepping in to help Casier Real Estate, and we had no intention of meddling with the Duncan Corporation. We simply don't like Shane and want to target him, can't we?"Catherine said it lightly. If someone else had said such words, everyone would have thought that person was talking big.But these words were said by Catherine. No one dared to question her.After all, Catherine had the ability. She could do whatever she said she would do.Branden looked at Catherine with eyes full of dominance and deep fascination. "Of course you can. I was hoping to win by relying on my girlfriend, but I didn't realize that you had no intention of helping me. You did that just because you don't like Shane!"Catherine crossed her hands around her chest and looked at Branden with raised eyebrows. "How about you give me the position of the Duncan Corporation's president? In this way,
Because of Catherine's intervention, Shane's scheme for Casier Real Estate was quickly broken.Initially, everyone was prepared to be retaliated by Shane, waiting for her counterattack. However, after a few days, Shane did not do anything at all.Ronin gave the latest intercepted information to Catherine. "Catherine, Shane took a plane back to Loxton yesterday. He's not in Casier."Catherine had a Rubik's Cube in her hand. She turned it rapidly with her index finger.Each side of the cube was still in chaotic colors, but in the next second, each side was turned into one color by Catherine, and she made it with only one hand.After restoring all the colors on the cube, Catherine messed up its colors and restored them once again.She was so focused on turning the cube that she didn't seem to be listening to Ronin at all.Ronin didn't mind. He picked up the extra Rubik's Cube that was thrown on the floor. He tried to turn to make each side of the cube a different color in the same
Catherine came out of the laboratory and then went to where the other party prompted her as promised.But when she arrived at the place, she didn't see the familiar person appear.Catherine believed she wouldn't find the wrong place, but the person who had made the appointment with her wasn't there.Just as Catherine hesitated whether to search for the person, a little girl of only four or five years old with two beautiful braids came to Catherine. "Miss, are you Kathy?"Kathy?Catherine frowned slightly. Although Kathy was a nickname for her given name, Catherine, she didn't know the girl in front of her and assumed she wasn't the one the little girl was looking for. She shook her head in denial.However, the little girl didn't seem to see her shaking her head. She shoved a small bouquet directly into Catherine's hands and said, "Kathy, a handsome man asked me to give this to you. He asked you to wait for him for a while. He said he'd be right there!"It was a beautiful palm-
Ronin asked Catherine to have dinner with him but was turned down.He looked back at his friends and asked, "Did any of you ask Catherine to dinner? Why didn't you tell me? I was refused.""We can't compete with you regarding the task of making the appointment with Catherine," Zobber said discontentedly.Ronin turned his gaze to Withal. Upon realizing it, Withal immediately shrugged, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.This made Ronin feel a little strange. "Could it be that Mr. Duncan is here?"Hearing Ronin's doubt, Zobber came back to her senses. "No way. We just got back to Loxton. If Mr. Duncan could have finished his business in Casier that quickly, he would have come back with us in the morning. How could he possibly want to part with Catherine?"Although Zobber's usual words were somewhat unreliable, Ronin felt that her words now made perfect sense. "So, who did Catherine go to eat with?""Maybe her roommates? Amelia or the others?" Zobber answered nonchalantl
