Chapter 953 Thank You for Today

"Mr. Melton, our subsidiary companies have been reported by someone, resulting in over one hundred million losses." Rylan's assistant, in a panic, rushed into his house with the documents.

Rylan was about to rest at this time, but he got a call, so he was talking on the phone.

He didn't expect that as soon as he heard that Branden had returned, his subsidiary companies were reported, causing him a huge financial loss.

Branden not only had amazing tactics, but he was also quick to get revenge. He moved so damn fast when he threw a punch.

'I was just trying to have dinner with Catherine, but in the end, we didn't even get to finish dinner because of all the interference from the Duncans. Branden actually caused me to lose the revenue of my two subsidiaries for a whole year. This dinner is really sky-high priced, costing a hundred million,' said Rylan inwardly.

The assistant saw Rylan sitting there with a cold smile and not moving, feeling a bit anxious inside. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke up to urge him. "Mr. Melton, what's the plan moving forward?"

Rylan turned to look at him with a wry smile. 'What else can we do? Just tell everyone in each department to be careful and minimize the damage as much as possible."

Hearing that, the assistant was totally confused. "Mr. Melton, don't we fight back? Or maybe come up with another plan to recover the loss?"

The assistant had followed Rylan for so many years and had never seen Rylan being taken advantage of like this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such things after Rylan gave the order.

"Just do as I say. If Branden dared to make a move, they must be fully prepared. If we fight back, we will fall into the opponent's trap. By then, I'm afraid I'll have to pay more than just this!" said Rylan.

Even though the assistant couldn't understand what Rylan was saying, he knew that Branden was something.

He had been following Rylan for years and hardly ever seen him make a wrong decision. Okay, Mr. Melton. I'll get right on it.'

After the assistant left, Rylan looked up at the painting hanging in the middle of the study. That was a foreign character his teacher gave him back in the day, meaning "Endure."

Everything was possible as long as one had enough determination and endurance to withstand it until the end.

Branden took it away from him today, but he would surely retrieve it with interest someday.

Upon hearing that Karl had arrived, Mr. Theo immediately paid a visit.

The house he was staying in was right above Catherine's, so there was no need to take the elevator. Walking up one floor would reach Branden's home.

"Karl, where are you?" Before entering the room, Mr. Theo raised his voice and shouted loudly and clearly, full of energy.

Upon hearing the voice, Karl stood up from a distance to welcome him. "Mr. Theo, you surely know how to take care of yourself to maintain such strength at your age. Your shout resonated throughout the entire building."

Mr. Theo and Karl always got along like cats and dogs. Every time they saw each other, they started squabbling.

Simon and Scott were watching from the side while Branden hugged Catherine to go rest. The war between the two old men excited little interest in them.

When the people watching the play left, the two old men argued for a while and felt it was meaningless. They then went to the living room and sat down with Catherine.

Fortunately, the living room of the apartment was spacious, so even with so many people sitting, it did not feel cramped.

Just as they had barely taken a seat, Mr. Theo, who had just lost the verbal battle, was feeling dissatisfied and put on a friendly face as he glanced at Catherine. 'Cassie, Aaron introduced me to a new dish today. It is a dish of his own invention. The taste is truly exceptional. I will take you to try it tomorrow. How about that?"

Karl naturally knew that Mr. Theo was intentionally provoking him. He snorted contemptuously and muttered softly, "It's just a dish. Nothing special. Catherine, I know there is a Michelin-starred chef in Loxton who is a cooking master. I will take you there to dine. How does that sound?"

"What Michelin chef can compare to Aaron? His ancestors were royal chefs in the palace, and his cooking skills have been passed down for generations. Average nouveau riche had no chance to have such an experience. Money is not the answer." Mr. Theo was very confident. He knew that Catherine liked Aaron's cooking just like him, and he believed that he was winning.

Karl got a bit upset when he found out he was not chosen.

'I've never lost in my life. It's just a royal chef! Money still talks. I don't believe I can't find a good chef with money,' thought Karl.

Catherine turned her head toward Branden, who weakly shrugged his shoulders. These two old men were truly beyond his control.

Seeing the two about to argue again, Catherine could only step in herself to prevent the impending dispute. "Gentlemen, listen to me!"

The two who had been about to argue quieted down instantly and collectively turned to look toward Catherine.

"Say it, girl."

"My future granddaughter-in-law, what's the matter?"

Catherine then tumed her attention to Karl and said, 'Mr. Karl, have you not yet experienced the culinary of Mr. Aaron Melton? The taste is truly exceptional. Why don't we go together tomorrow as a way to welcome you?"

She personally extended the invitation. Karl naturally couldn't refuse. "Catherine, I'll go for your sake. You know, I have eaten all kinds of cuisines. It's all for your sake."

With a smile, Ca rine nodded and said, "Mr. Karl, I understand your thoughts!"

Having dealt with one, Catherine continued to persuade the next one. "Mr. Theo, do you have any objections? You are more familiar with Mr. Aaron. Why don't you be responsible for arranging the dinner?"

After Catherine coaxed Mr. Theo to be happy. Mr. Theo felt relaxed and naturally agreed to whatever she asked. "No problem. Leave it to me! Whenever you wish to eat, I will make arrangements for you at any time."

Under Catherine's persuasion, the heated argument finally calmed down.

The two returned to their own apartments under their respective arrangements, resting

peacefully.

After sending off everyone, the spacious apartment was left with only Catherine and Branden. Seeing Catherine standing at the window, quietly looking outside, Branden approached and reached out to close the window for her, then reached out to embrace her waist. "Thank you for today!"Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Catherine turned her head slightly to look at him. Branden's eyes shone brightly like the stars

in the night sky.

"For what?" she asked.

"Thank you for making Karl so happy," said Branden.

His grandmother passed away early, and Karl had always been busy with work. The Duncans did not have many descendants, so Karl had been lonely for many years.

Over the years, he had always been very lonely.

Branden could tell Karl was happy to see Catherine.

Karl was also very pleased with Catherine's arrangements.

Catherine originally thought Branden was going to talk about lab stuff. To her surprise, he

thanks her for this.

She gave a little smirk and said proudly, "I'll treat people the way they treat me."

She was basically telling Branden that she knew Karl had been good to her.

Branden pinched her nose affectionately. "That's right.'

But I think there's one more thing. You better thank me properly for it," added Catherine.

Seeing her smile so brightly, Branden suddenly became interested. "What is it?"

"I gave a big gift for the lab. Shouldn't you at least thank me properly?" Catherine looked at

him with a smug look.

She didn't smile much, but it was captivating as hell when she did. That was why Branden loved seeing her smile.

Captivated, at first sight, he couldn't even bear to blink.

He squeezed Catherine's hand with a big smile of happiness on his face. "Yeah, you're right. I

really should thank you properly."

But the biggest thank-you gift Catherine gave him wasn't about the lab stuff. It was another

even bigger surprise.

'Just keep your hopes up and wait patiently,' she said inwardly.
