Chapter 85 Sugar Reappeared
With the USB drive in hand, Bryan danced with excitement.
This shocked all the students in Class 8. After all, Bryan had always been known for his aloofness, but now he looked like a
complete idiot.
David couldn’t help but ask, “Bryan, why are you so slow to react? We’ve already expressed how excited we were.”
Bryan reached out and knocked David hard on the head, saying, “You’re the slow one, you idiot!”
Bryan didn’t want to bother with David. He had something very important to confirm with
Catherine.
Bryan approached Catherine with excitement, his heart pounding nervously as if it was jumping out of his chest.
“Boss, is this autograph genuine?” he asked, pointing to the USB drive.
Catherine raised her head slowly, glanced at the indicated signature, and nodded.
“Oh my god, Boss, I admire you so much! How did you manage to get this person to sign the drive? You have no idea, but this
person is my idol. They are like a god to me. No one can ever compare.”
Seeing Bryan like this, David also approached and almost had his eyeballs pop out when he saw the signature. He complained
without suppressing his surprise at all, “Damn, that is Sugar’s signature! Catherine, how did you manage to get Sugar’s
signature? This person is the founder of ‘Storm,’ the best hacker and most skilled computer expert in the world.”
David finally understood why Bryan was so excited. If it were him, David might have passed
out from excitement.
Looking at her excited classmates, Catherine was not at all bothered by their emotions. She sat back lazily in her chair, her
expression calm and even a bit bored.
If Catherine had known that Bryan would be so excited over a signature, she wouldn’t have bothered with preparing a gift for
him. She would have just asked Bryan to bring a piece of
and written a hundred Sugar autographs herself for Bryan as a birthday gift.

Anyway, she was Sugar. It would only take a moment to sign the word, which was no big deal to her at all. Since Bryan had been
paying his respects and calling her Boss for such a long time, she would do this for him.
Bryan asked excitedly, “Boss, do you know Sugar personally? How did you get their autograph? This is the best birthday gift I’ve
ever received. I love it so much.”
Catherine was thinking about whether she should tell Bryan the truth or not when David suddenly chimed in, “Bryan, you’re so
slow today. Did you forget what Liana said earlier? The Swann Corporation has a partnership with Storm. They’ve already sent
Liana an unreleased. game card. Catherine is the company president. It’s no surprise that she can make Sugar her
acquaintance and get them to sign the USB drive.”
Bryan thought about it and realized David had a point. Therefore, Bryan couldn’t help but shower Catherine with more praise
again.
“Boss, you’re so amazing.”
Liana, who was standing nearby, was exploding with anger. Once again, Catherine had stolen. her limelight, and this time,
Catherine had completely overshadowed her.
It didn’t even matter that people knew her as the young miss of the Swann family.
Catherine had climbed to the position of chairperson of the board. Her position was even higher than Liana’s father’s. There’s no
way Liana could ever compete with her.
“This is so frustrating,” Liana thought.
But the thing was, Liana couldn’t do anything about this at all. She felt that Catherine, like at harbinger of disasters, was such a
problem and was always in her way.
After finishing their meal, Bryan suggested they play the game together, and everyone agreed.
Who wouldn’t want to try the beta version?
Bryan looked at Catherine with a somewhat elusive expression.
Seeing him like this, Catherine knew that Bryan had something to say but was hesitant to spit it out, so she took the initiative.
“Just speak your mind.”
Bryan was almost in tears. “Boss is really kind to me,” he thought.
“Boss, can I make a birthday wish? Will you play this game with me?” he asked.
Believe it or not, Catherine actually agreed.
The game Bryan mentioned was the one she had created. How could she refuse?
Considering it was Bryan’s birthday, Catherine nodded in agreement.
At the Duncan Corporation.
The top floor, the president’s office.
Paxton had just received a message from the intelligence team. He had rushed to the
Branden’s office to update him.
“Sir, we have news about Sugar. One of the aliases they used in the past has appeared again,” Paxton said.
Upon hearing Paxton’s report, Branden put down his pen and looked up slowly, his voice cold, “Have you got the IP address?”
Paxton had rushed over as soon as he received the information. He hadn’t opened the message containing the IP address sent
by the intelligence team.
Paxton lowered his head, opened the message, and instantly froze. He muttered, “How is this. possible?”
Seeing that something was off, Branden asked again patiently, “What’s the matter?” Branden was rarely patient like this.
Paxton quickly regained his composure, looked up at Branden, and respectfully replied, “Sir, we have got Sugar’s IP address.”
“But we traced it back to the Duncan family house.”
An intrigued look flashed in Branden’s eyes. Since he had not given any instructions yet, Paxton continued his report.
“Sir, I’ve contacted the family house. The Young Master is hosting his birthday banquet there. The party has been approved by
Mr. Vicente Swann. There are quite a few people invited, which means it’s difficult to know who the real Sugar is!”
Upon hearing this, Branden suddenly stood up.
Paxton immediately stepped forward, respectfully helping Branden put on his coat. “Sir, are you going back to the family house?”
“Yes!” Branden responded without much emotion.
“Challenge accepted. I’ll figure out how this hacker, Sugar, got into my family house,” Branden thought.
Like all century-old prestigious families, the Duncans were deeply rooted in the local community and had many family inembers.
Bryan’s father, Brady Duncan, was the cousin of Branden and the son of Karl’s elder brother. Brady was a simple and honest
person.
He didn’t have much ambition for power. Therefore, Karl kept him by his side since Brady was
a child.
Karl was already getting old when Branden was born, so naturally, Brady was considerably
older than Branden.

His father’s status allowed Bryan to grow up in the family house and was greatly favored by Karl. He was treated by everyone as
Karl’s own grandson.
Meanwhile, the birthday party at the family house continued, and the cheers grew louder and louder.
The entire banquet presented a stark contrast. Almost all the boys gathered in one group. The girls chatted boringly on the side.
Feeling completely ignored, some people even started to complain.
“What’s so charming about Catherine Swann? Why do all these guys treat her like a goddess?”
“Who knows? Look at those guys. They’re all so excited as if someone has cast a spell on them. I really don’t understand what’s
so interesting about those games. Catherine is so good at this. She can capture everyone’s attention just like that.”
Liana heard all these comments. She wholeheartedly agreed that Catherine was simply putting on an act. With just a USB drive,
Catherine managed to charm everyone away. “She truly had her ways,” Liana thought.
At first, Liana had thought Catherine wouldn’t pose any threat at all, as she wouldn’t know
how to fit into Liana’s social circles. Liana didn’t expect Catherine to be this skilled with men.
Before Liana came up with a retort, she heard another round of cheers.
“Wow, Catherine, you’re amazing!”
