Chapter 386 Three Versus One
After a thorough explanation by Paxton, both Cory and Carlo had a grasp of the situation. One of them was in Oceanvile, while
the other was abroad. Neither of them had stayed by Branden’s side.
They only heard that their boss was to be betrothed to Miss Catherine, who had returned suddenly to the Swanns. However, they
did not have any knowledge about who Miss Catherine was.
It was rumored that their boss had an extreme fondness for Miss Catherine and even made many changes for her, which
shocked many people.
It was unexpected that Miss Catherine of the Swanns appeared suddenly in the courtyard of the experimental base.
It was a conflict that arose between people on their own side. Tonight, they disrupted their boss’ night and disturbed the young
miss beside their boss. Just punishing them for doing handstands could be considered lenient.
With a gossipy look, Carlo leaned in to please Paxton. “Paxton, why did you suddenly come here? Isn’t Miss Swann the second
young lady of the wealthy Swanns? How did she become Randolph’s student?”
“Carlo, why are you so nosy? Can’t you learn from Cory? Why doesn’t he behave the same way as you?” Paxton lectured Carlo
with a righteous expression.
A cold and abrupt voice came from behind him as soon as he finished speaking.
“I would also like to know!”
Both Carlo and Paxton turned to look at Cory together. To their surprise, even colder than Paxton, the introverted and silent Cory
could be so gossipy today.
Carlo was all pumped up and yelling for Paxton to tell them. When it comes to matters concerning his boss, Paxton dared not
casually discuss them. He would rather keep the two brothers in suspense than reveal gossip about the boss.
The next day, Catherine groggily woke up under the intense sun. She opened her eyes and saw the man sleeping beside her
and being used as her pillow.
Under the sun’s shining rays, the man’s skin displayed a glistening transparency. What was most enviable was that his smooth
skin had no pimples or acne marks. Even the pores were barely visible.

Lost in a daze, Catherine suddenly snapped out of it and noticed that the man beside her had his eyes open. A bright light shone
through in his deep pupils, as dazzling as stars.
The man’s thin lips parted slightly. Perhaps because he had just awakened, his voice was hoarse as if it had been smoked over,
deep and mesmerizing.
“Are you hungry? I’ll make breakfast for you!” Branden asked. Catherine was originally going to refuse, but when she thought
she hadn’t eaten the food Branden made for a few days, her stomach couldn’t help but crave it. Unconsciously, she nodded her
head.
Because of her actions, a slight smile appeared on Branden’s face. He extended his hand to stroke Catherine’s forehead gently.
“I’ll go get ready. You can sleep a little longer if you don’t want to get up. I’ll call you when it’s ready!”
Catherine remained silent, gazing at Branden’s rapidly retreating figure. She could see his perfect v-taper even through his
clothing. He had an ideal build.
She wasn’t a foodie in the past, but ever since she met Branden, she couldn’t help wanting to eat the food he cooked.
Zobers, the love guru, once told her that the first step to capturing a man’s heart was to start with his stomach. She felt that
Branden might have pleased her stomach. At the entrance of the courtyard on the ground floor.
The three who were punished for doing headstands last night were still doing headstands today.
Even though their faces were blushed and their arms were sore, no one dared to come down without Branden’s order.
Initially, they could endure this punishment. After all, they had experienced even more brutal situations through their training
since childhood.
However, the fragrance wafting down from upstairs in intermittent waves was the lethal weapon that tortured them the most.
Even the strongest people couldn’t resist being tempted by such a fragrance.
Carlo couldn’t help but swallow and quietly said, “I didn’t expect Miss Swann to be such an excellent cook. The flavor is
excellent!”
“Humph!” Paxton scoffed.
Carlo immediately sensed the hint of gossip and quietly approached.”

Paxton, it seems like there’s another meaning behind your laughter!”
Paxton didn’t want to beat around the bush with the two brothers. Besides, he knew Carlo’s personality and cut straight to the
point.
“The one who cooks is our boss!”
Not to mention Carlo, even Cory was taken aback.
As they were still in shock, a strange sound suddenly came to their ears.
They instinctively looked to the side
and saw a chubby white robot moving toward them.
Upon nearing the three, the robot made a mechanical alert sound.
“Garbage detected ahead. Clear it up!”
“Garbage detected ahead. Clear it up!”
It repeated the sentence again and again. Carlo was getting quite annoyed and couldn’t help but mutter, “This robot is so noisy!”
Tragedy struck in the next moment.
The robot suddenly took action with astonishing speed. All three were caught off guard and were directly sent flying into the air.
No one expected that the foolish robot would possess such immense power.
It was truly remarkable to be able to kick all three people away at once. Struggling to get up from the ground, Carlo looked
around and saw that the two brothers had also been hit. He couldn’t help but sigh in frustration.
“Where did this badass robot come from? It looks so cool!”
Paxton and Cory looked embarrassed. They were considered top-notch Duncans’ Shadow Guard experts, yet a robot had just
taken down them.
If this were to be spread, how could they maintain their dignity?

The three scrambled up and were about to investigate where the robot ahead came from. Suddenly, the robot swiftly turned
around, running toward the direction on its side.
“Boss, you’re here!” The tone of the robot changed.
Catherine strolled down from upstairs and gently touched the robot’s sensor area. The robot immediately emitted a series of
whimpering sounds, just like an excited child eating candy.
All three of them were left dumbfounded when they saw this scene. “This robot is just too intelligent! “thought they. As soon as
Catherine retracted her hand, the robot obediently moved to stand behind her. It wasn’t clingy.
Catherine raised her gaze to examine the three. “Top-notch Shadow Guards of the Duncans? Humph!” said she inwardly.
She glanced at them, then extended her hand and gently curved her finger. With a mischievous grin, she coldly spoke. “You guys
attack together!”
Carlo was momentarily confused and did not understand what she meant. He reached out and gently tapped Paxton on the side
to get his attention.
Paxton understood it but didn’t dare to do it. He worried that his boss would destroy him if he were to fight with Catherine. He
quickly made a respectful bow.”
Miss Swann, we dare not offend you. If you wish to punish us, please give us your command!”
“I’m not getting tired of living. Why would I pick a fight with her?” thought he. Catherine stared at Paxton with a cold look and
said, “Stop talking nonsense!
“Do you want me to have Branden come down and give you the order?”
“Absolutely not!” Paxton hastily agreed.
“Let’s begin then!” Catherine was prepared. Paxton glanced at the two beside him and decided to toughen up and face the
situation head-on.
“Anyway, it was Catherine who asked for it herself, so even if the boss were to blame me for it, I have an excuse,” said he
inwardly.
Carlo didn’t get it, wondering, “Wasn’t it said that she’s going to be the future mistress of the Duncans?

“Can we still keep our lives by engaging in a physical confrontation with her?” wondered he.
But seeing Paxton insist on it, they had no choice but to take action.
