All Her Secrets

Chapter 897 His Biggest Win

The efforts to control the situation didn’t ease things for Catherine; it just became worse.

Paxton updated Branden on the recent developments. “Mr. Duncan, the tactics they’re using are just like the ones from the previous rumors about our company. It’s likely the same group. The public opinion is strongly against Miss Swann right now. I had a fake video made; it’s convincing enough. Should we release it to at least create some confusion?”

“No way!” Branden immediately rejected Paxton’s proposal. “Those people are waiting for that.”

If they dared to release the video, they must have other tricks up their sleeves. The fake video would only get Catherine into even more trouble.

Paxton thought Branden made sense, but at the moment, he couldn’t think of a way to help Catherine. “Mr. Duncan, what should we do then?”

Branden remained calm and composed. “No rush. If they’re willing to spend money to hype things up, let them be.”

For some reason, Paxton felt that Branden was unusually calm this time. Though it was his typical style, he always took Catherine’s problems seriously. There was no reason for Branden to let things escalate like this. “Could Mr. Duncan have another strategy?” Paxton wondered.

“Mr. Duncan, what about the land in Weseville?” Paxton asked.

Branden waved his hand generously. ” Let it be.”

Paxton was dumbfounded. He knew the whole story. Back when Branden agreed to give up the land in Weseville, it was mainly because the other party used Catherine’s video as a threat. Now that the video was out, even if Branden tried to take back the land, it made sense. Paxton could not understand why Branden would let them have the land. “This piece of land is worth billions of dollars. Is Mr. Duncan serious?” he thought.

However, Branden didn’t explain anything and just assigned Paxton a new task. “Hold a press conference tomorrow and spread the news of the successful development of the seventh- generation chip in the lab.”

Joy filled Paxton’s face when he heard this. This was a huge piece of good news.

They had been working on the seventh- generation chip for several years.

Despite continuous investment in manpower and resources, success had been elusive.

Now that they finally succeeded, Paxton couldn’t hold back his excitement. “Alright, I’ll prepare for it right away.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

After dealing with business matters, Branden returned to the bedroom with lighter steps. The room was very quiet, with only Catherine’s soft and steady breathing echoing.

Looking at the soundly sleeping Catherine on the bed, Branden revealed a faint smile. “She must be genuinely exhausted. But why does she manage to look so captivating even in her sleep?” thought Branden.

He quietly climbed onto the bed. But just as he lifted the covers, a murmur reached his ears. Branden abruptly halted and froze in place.

No one would have thought that the usually assertive and arrogant Branden would be startled by a murmur.

Branden’s stiffness only eased when Catherine unconsciously wrapped her arm around his waist. He slowly lay down, embracing the sleeping Catherine. Seeing Catherine still asleep, Branden smiled.

Catherine was usually super vigilant, but now she was sleeping soundly in his arms. Branden thought it was his biggest win.
