All Her Secrets

Catherine casually picked up the phone and slipped on her headphones.
"Catherine, I got sfresh intel. You free to listen?" "Yeah," Catherine grunted in response.
Ronin hadn't been hanging around Catherine much lately. Because Catherine had assigned him a task, and he went off to handle it.
Ever since they found out that the Breens had meddled with the Swann Corporation, they knew that trouble was on the horizon.
So Ronin took it upon himself to snoop around the Breens, and he finally unearthed sconfidential stuff.
"Catherine, fire up your computer!" Hearing Ronin's words, Catherine powered up her laptop.
Soon, she received a file from Ronin. It was a medical diagnosis.
"Catherine, they're saying this diagnosis belongs to Shane. Seems like he's sick." Catherine scrutinized the report. Shane, that old fox, wouldn't just let his health report fall into anyone's hands.
Even with Ronin's intel, Catherine wasn't jumping to conclusions. She scanned through and found nothing fishy, but she still felt suspicious and refrained from an immediate confirmation.
Unable to pinpoint any issues at the moment, Catherine ordered Ronin, Keep going." "Got it!" Ronin's tone grew serious. " Catherine, I heard that the Breens know you're in Loxton. They're sending folks your way soon. We gotta be extra cautious!" x] Catherine remained composed. She replied with a chilly expression, "Let them come." They could cif they wanted, but leaving wouldn't be their call.
Ronin understood Catherine's message. There was Loxton in Eskana, not the Breens' place in Alton. The Breens wouldn't dare act recklessly here.
After years of developing in Eskana, they'd amassed enough finance and power to counter the Breens in this territory.
But this wasn't a long-term solution. They needed something to balance out the Breens.
"Catherine, any results from Rodge's side yet?" "Just wrapped up phase one." Catherine wasn't thrilled with the outcome. However, in this experiment, they were the only ones globally to have completed the first testing phase. They had already achieved the fastest pace worldwide.
After Ronin heard this, his mood immediately sank.
"Only at phase one? That's slow! Even the Hacker Alliance lab hasn't cracked their latest chip tech. Without these two crucial tools, how do we take on Shane?" To hold sway, they needed powerful weapons in their arsenal.
With both hoped-for weapons still unperfected, Ronin felt disheartened.
While Ronin was anxious, Catherine remained composed as the key player.
"No rush. What's meant to cwill come. Keep a close eye on Loxton and the Swann Corporation. Letknow the minute anything pops up." She had her hands full with the lab projects for now, leaving the Breens' moves to Ronin to monitor.
"Don't worry, Catherine. I'll keep a tight watch," Ronin replied.
The Breens' business sprawled globally, with quite a few companies in Eskana.
Usually, their visits to inspect company affairs were part of the routine, but lately, their comings and goings had been too frequent.
Despite their discreet movements, they couldn't evade the Duncans' intelligence network.
After Paxton received the news, he had scovert probing. Then he passed the intel to Branden.
He said, "Mr. Duncan, the Breens' folks seem unsettled lately." Aidan, who didn't appear for a long time, was now present at the Duncans'.
Since Branden accompanied Catherine to Loxton, Aidan returned overseas. Now, he relocated all the Lanes' assets back to Casier.
His visit to Loxton aimed at collaborating with Branden. Having returned to the country, he wanted to develop in Loxton.
Upon hearing Paxton's report, Aidan was intrigued. "The Breens? What's going on?" After Paxton glanced at Branden and saw no objection, he continued, "The Breens often send people periodically to work in Eskana, but this tit's different. Shane's nephew, Edson, was sent. He spent a week in Casier and arrived in Loxton by plane last night. They opted for a commercial flight to keep things low- key." Aidan chuckled softly and then said, " Interesting! The most notorious playboy from the Breens took a commercial flight?" It wasn't the airline that was the issue, but because Aidan knew Edson quite well.
During his tabroad, he had heard quite a bit about Edson's extravagant and shocking exploits.
Branden was unconcerned about the playboy's lavish lifestyle. He wanted to know Edson's purpose in Eskana.
Shane had no biological sons, only a daughter. Unfortunately, the daughter wasn't business-inclined.
Rumors mentioned that he had an adopted daughter, who was shrouded in mystery. Nobody knew who she was except that Shane showered her with
affection.
He even planned to betroth her to his nephew, Edson. There were rumors in the outside world that Edson was set to succeed Shane and become the next heir of the Breens. Branden cast a slow glance at Paxton.
Paxton immediately adopted a serious demeanor and refrained from asking Aidan about Edson's outrageous activities overseas.

"Mr. Duncan, previously Edson was
quite active in Casier. We found that he used a subsidiary to acquire a significant portion of scattered shares of the Swann Corporation held." Hearing that, Aidan thought inwardly," The Swann Corporation?" Aidan knew it was Catherine's inheritance. He discreetly glanced at Branden and gauged his reaction. Visit Popsnovel.com to read the

Catherine was currently someone very dear to Branden. Anyone meddling with
her would be in for a rough time.
Aidan wasn't sure which family held more power between the Duncans and the
Breens when they were to confront each other.
"Does Catherine know?" Branden inquired.

"She should," Paxton said. Actually,
he wasn't entirely certain. Catherine
was too mysterious. The information O they could get, she probably could access as well. But the Swann
Corporation was completely silent as
if they weren't aware. That was why Paxton was uncertain. Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

"Mr. Duncan, it seems like Edson's
target in Loxton might also be Miss Swann!" Aidan's eyes lit up suddenly, and hiswoice involuntarily rose as he asked, "What?" Paxton rolled his eyes at Aidan. He thought inwardly, "Mr. Duncan isn't so anxious yet. Why is Aidan so frantic?" Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
