All Her Secrets

Catherine had just hung up the phone when another call came in. Without even
looking at the caller ID, she knew who it was.
Branden knew that she was living in a dormitory now. He would call her every
day at nine o'clock to avoid disturbing her, as she had to turn off the lights and go
to sleep by ten.
Catherine answered the call and held the phone to her ear. Branden’s deep and
attractive voice came from the receiver.
“I heard you participated in a competition today and even won a prize?”
Even though Branden wasn’t present, he knew everything related to her at
school. Facing his knowingly asked question, Catherine didn't hesitate to expose
him.
“Don’t you know better than me?”
“Haha.” Branden chuckled softly, his voice deep and husky.
“Are you angry? If you don't like it, I won’t inquire about your affairs anymore.”
His cautious tone carried a sense of carefulness and probing. No one would
believe that the esteemed president of the Duncan Corporation, the chief of Red
Star, would be so submissive in front of a girl.
It was precisely because he cared too much about her that he was so afraid of
annoying her.
After all, if she got angry, he would be the one to suffer in the end. If she left him,
he would live in misery for the rest of his life. Therefore, it was best to serve her
with caution.
Catherine could tell his current mood. She couldn’t help but laugh. “No. Why are
you so afraid? I'm not blaming you!
“Will you come back after the physical training ends the day after tomorrow?”
The next day was the last day of physical training, and the day after tomorrow,
they would have the closing ceremony in the morning. The school arranged two
days of rest before starting regular classes.
Branden was starting to regret letting Catherine come to study there, or maybe
he should have let her attend a school where she could commute. Even if he
stayed in Loxton all day, he wouldn't be able to spend much time with her.
Thinking about this, Catherine felt a bit sorry for the fact that he had been
shuttling between Casier and Loxton for over half a month for her sake.
Moreover, he had a lot of things to deal with recently.
With the two-day holiday just around the corner, Catherine also wanted to take a
good rest.
“Alright. I'll come over right after the closing ceremony.”
Catherine's agreement made Branden smile, and he began to look forward to
their meeting the day after tomorrow.
A phone call turned into a conversation that lasted for over half an hour, despite
both of them being naturally reserved individuals.
Seeing that everyone needed rest, Catherine announced the end of the call.
“Time to sleep. See you the day after tomorrow!”
Branden’s attitude remained gentle, a gentleness that was only reserved for
Catherine.
“Okay. Contact me anytime if you need anything.”
The Duncans’ in Loxton used to be the ancestral home of the Duncans a hundred
years ago. Although the ancestors of the Duncans later moved to Casier, the
ancestral property there had been preserved to this day.
Generation after generation, the descendants of the Duncans would maintain
and renovate the old house, which was still in pristine condition.
With the changing times, it had become the wealthiest real estate center in
Loxton. Quiet amidst the bustle, this was an excellent location.
Branden would work there whenever he came to Styre University.
The outside world knew that the headquarters of Red Star was in Loxton, but no
one knew that its headquarters was in the ancestral home of the Duncans.
Paxton held the latest intelligence and waited by the side. Only after Branden
hung up the phone did he cautiously approach with the information.
“Boss, we have located those criminals. There is still no evidence to prove that
they are from Rexinheim, but based on our past experience, it should be them.
They should already know what is inside the safe, and now they are being
extremely cautious. It won't be easy to catch them. Besides, the Hacker Alliance
is also involved in this. It is said that the Hacker Alliance has arranged for two
cadres to personally take action, appearing confident of victory.”
Branden squinted as he examined the information handed by Paxton. He knew
better than anyone else how important the contents of the safe were.
“Arrange for Francis and the others to come over. I don’t care who is involved in
this. I just want to see the results.”
Paxton quickly nodded, not daring to hesitate.
“Yes, Boss. I'll inform them right away.
After coming out of the study, Paxton ran into Carlo, who was walking toward
him. The Duncan Corporation’s move to Loxton was a big project that required
manpower.
Paxton requested early that Carlo be transferred to Loxton to help. After working
overtime for a week, Carlo looked at his brother with two dark circles around his
eyes.
“Paxton, when will this end?” Carlo sighed.
Paxton sympathetically patted his shoulder. “Soon, our boss has ordered Francis
and the others to come. Once they arrive, the burden on you will lighten.”

his face finally brightened. “That's

Carlo thought that Branden must have kept this matter a secret from Karl.
Otherwise, there would have been a big fuss long ago.
Paxton disdainfully glanced at Carlo, his face full of contempt. “Oh, Carlo, you're
still too naive!”
This mocking remark made Carlo feel quite uncomfortable. Unable to hold back,
he approached Paxton, arguing, ” What do you mean by I'm naive?
Paxton, your words sound a little harsh. I need an explanation, or I won't let you
off.”
Carlo was always so stubborn.

Carlo was dumbfounded, his mouth agape. “Really?”
“What's the point of lying to you?” Paxton looked at him with disdain.
Carlo pondered carefully and then started to laugh, mumbling, “Catherine is truly
amazing. I can't believe old Mr. Duncan likes her so much. Fantastic!”
