All Her Secrets

Chapter 602 The Purpose of the Breens

Catherine tore open the wrapper of a piece of chocolate. She took the chocolate into her mouth and then waved her slender fingers twice.

Linda immediately understood what she meant and then reported what she found.

“Miss Swann, we inadvertently discovered that an overseas company was acquiring the fractional shares of the Swann Corporation. It’s not a large amount, but there hasn’t been much good news circulating in the market for the Swann Corporation lately, so it seems a bit out of the ordinary.”

Catherine took the chocolate wrapper and started to fold it deftly as she asked without lifting her head. “Did you check the company?”

“Yes!” Linda went to investigate the situation as soon as she received the news. “The other party’s background information is clean, and it seems they often do things like this to make money through luck.”

Such behavior, somewhat of a gambler, was collecting the fractional shares of some companies on the market that seemed to be growing well and then waiting for the appreciation to sell them off to make a profit.

If the recent news about the Swann Corporation in the market was good news, then this matter seemed normal.

However, the Swann Corporation’s recent actions were notably low-key. After learning about the situation, Linda paid more attention to it.

She had not paid much attention to it initially, but at that moment, she discovered something was wrong.

“Miss Swann, just the day before yesterday, we found that another similar company has made the same behavior. It looks like a coincidence if we put the two together!”

“Hehe!”

Catherine smiled faintly. There were not that many coincidences in the world.

The vast majority of coincidences were merely intentional.

“The result of your investigation is still that the other party’s background is very clean, and the two companies aren’t connected at all, right?”

Linda nodded. She was somewhat surprised by Catherine’s keen intuition.

“Yes, you’re right, Miss Swann.”

As Linda said those words, the chocolate wrapper in Catherine’s hand was folded into a delicate rose. Linda could not help but compliment Catherine heartily when she saw it. ” That’s exquisite!”

Catherine graciously handed over the rose. “It’s for you!”

Linda reached out and took it without hesitation. “Thanks, Miss Swann!”

Catherine then said carelessly, “Send Ronin the information on those two companies. He can find out what you can’t find out!”

“Okay!”

Linda walked out of the office after she finished reporting her work. With her back to the door, she stood at the door of the chairperson’s office. She let out a deep sigh.

She knew that, at this moment, her back must be covered in sweat.

She had not felt such a powerful sense of oppression even after following Vicente for so long.

But it was different when she was in front of Catherine. Catherine’s seemingly careless posture carried a powerful, oppressive aura.

It made people tread with caution and always tense up to handle everything.

Linda glanced down at the delicate paper rose in her hand, and a smile surfaced at the corner of her mouth.

She did not expect someone as cold as Catherine to have such a handy side.

Half an hour after Linda sent the information to Ronin, Catherine received a call from Ronin. She came to the company in a hurry this time, and Ronin did not even follow her.

“Catherine, check it out!”

“Mmm!” Catherine grunted lightly.

The reason Ronin could track down the news that Swann Corporation could not track down for a few days within half an hour was not because Ronin was much stronger than the Swann Corporation but because Ronin was very familiar with it.

“They’re both small companies owned by the Breens. The Breens supposedly manipulated them!”

Ronin’s voice sounded a little sad.

“Catherine, they don’t seem to be hiding anything from us. They didn’t even change the encryption channel!” Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Catherine curled her lips and slightly raised the corners of her mouth. There was a seeming smile on her face.

“They not only have no intention of hiding anything from us but also put their hands on the Swann Corporation. They are warning me!”

Hearing Catherine’s reply, all Ronin’s nerves tensed up.

He knew better than anyone how scary the Breens were.

He and Catherine both escape from the Breens. When they first escaped, they both almost died. Now that Shane was looking for them.

Could they be able to escape again?

Even Ronin was not sure.

“Catherine, should we deploy in advance? We’ve accumulated so much capital over the years, so we can still fight back at an appropriate time.”

Ronin’s voice carried determination in it. As long as Catherine gave an order, he would do everything possible to make it.

“There’s no rush. Let’s wait a little longer!”

After saying that, Catherine hung up directly without waiting for Ronin’s response.

In Casier, since Branden’s return to Loxton, the president’s office at the Duncan Corporation headquarters had been vacant for some time.

It was rare for it to be so lively today. Triston and the others had all come.

Triston had finished reporting Casier’s situation to Branden, but Branden had no response. Triston was anxious.

“Branden, could you please just say something? Could you just give me a simple response? Now, the Breens are eager to make a move, and during your absence, they have already put their hands on Casier. We can’t just sit idly by, can we?”

As members of one of the Four Noble Families in Casier, Triston, and his family absolutely would not allow the Breens to stir up trouble in Casier.

Although the Breens were indeed powerful, the Four Noble Families in Casier were not useless, especially the Duncans.

The Duncans now were as strong as ever, even better than back then. As long as the Four Noble Families worked together, it was not easy for the Breens to gain an advantage in Casier.

Branden raised his head slightly, his cold gaze mockingly scanning Triston.

In that instant, Triston felt the pressure.

“What do you mean by that?”

Seeing that Triston still did not understand Branden’s meaning, Paxton could not help but remind him.

“Mr. Lambert, take it easy. Mr. Duncan feels that it’s not yet time to take action.”

Triston was truly admiring Branden’s calmness. Branden could still sit calmly even when his enemies were making a scene in front of him.

Among all Triston’s friends, Branden was the only one with this calmness.

He grumbled angrily, “Whatever. When the Lamberts are really in trouble, you all have to give a hand!”

“Did anyone say they were directed at your Lamberts?”

Branden raised his eyebrows, his deep eyes looking straight toward Triston.

Triston reacted at once and took a step forward joyfully.

“Branden, do you know something? The Breens come to Casier this time with such a big action. What exactly are they here for?”

Triston was particularly curious. He wanted to get the answer from Branden.

“I don’t know!”

Branden’s cold words disappointed Triston.

He knew that Branden could not have lied. There was absolutely no need for that. Even Branden did not know the reason, so it was obvious how tricky this matter was.

Paxton noticed the alert coming from his cell phone. After he tapped on it to check the situation, he immediately reported it to Branden.

“Mr. Duncan, Miss Swann is driving toward the company!”

Catherine had driven Branden’s car to the Swann Corporation. His car had a positioning system, and his phone could provide him with updates at any time.

After hearing the report, Branden immediately stood up and walked out of the office.

Triston called after him, “Where are you going? Our conversation isn’t even over yet!”

Paxton tugged on his arm. “Mr. Lambert, Mr. Duncan is going to pick up someone. You’d better not follow as the extra person!”

Paxton’s words made Triston’s face turn green with anger. Triston could not help but complain in a low voice, ” He’s the only one who has a girlfriend? I have one, too. I’m going to pick up my girlfriend from work, too. I don’t envy him at all!”

Paxton, who had just taken two steps, heard these words. He turned back with a faint smile, raising his eyebrows, and asked, “Isn’t Miss Audrey not yet agreed? Or Mr. Lambert, have you changed your woman again?”

Upon hearing that, Triston’s face turned from green to black. He was so angry that the veins on his neck bulged out.

“Bastard, you’re talking nonsense. I’ve always been dedicated to Audrey. She will be my girlfriend sooner or later. Just wait and see.”
