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
After they left the restaurant, Rylan suggested taking a walk, but Catherine did not refuse.After realizing Catherine couldn't eat spicy food, Rylan changed the dishes. The food at that restaurant was very delicious, and Catherine ate a lot. She didn't refuse the proposal to take a walk because she felt it could help digestion."Catherine, what made you suddenly think of returning to school?" Rylan asked.Catherine turned her head to look at him. Under the neon lights, her face flickered, and her gaze was somewhat ambiguous. "You investigated quite carefully."At that, Rylan's expression changed slightly, and his tone became anxious momentarily. "No, I didn't. I didn't mean that!""It's fine!" Catherine interrupted him. She didn't really care about that.As much as Rylan knew her, she knew Rylan.Rylan, who had always been strategic and in control of everything, would never allow any unexpected situations to occur.He naturally investigated her beforehand since he came to Loxt
"Knock, knock, knock." The sound of knocking on the door came, startling several people interrogating someone in the secret room.Everyone's nerves immediately tensed up, and the atmosphere inside the room immediately became quite solemn.The leading man looked at the short man next to him. The shorter man pondered momentarily and then said in a suppressed voice, "Keyon went out just now. Could it be that he's back?"The leading man signaled the shorter man to open the door along with the other two men in black. The three of them held their weapons and walked toward the door cautiously.The short man was responsible for opening the door, while the other two were responsible for guarding his side. Once there was a situation, they would immediately attack.After opening the door, they found that there was no one outside.The short man found it strange. He walked out to check the situation. "Keyon..."After waiting a few seconds, the short man disappeared without sound. The two men
