Female Novel
Chapter 31
At Duncan Corporation.
In the office on the top floor, Paxton gave Branden the information he had just gotten…
Branden knew it was Paxton without looking up. He could even guess what Paxton was here for.
Branden’s expression didn’t change at all. He didn’t even move his eyes.
Branden parted his lips, looking emotionless and cold as he said lightly, “News from Hacker Alliance?”
Paxton was caught off guard. He didn’t expect his boss to have known by guessing so accurately. Afterall, Paxton had only gotten the information a few minutes ago.
“Yes, Mr. Duncan.”
“Hacker Alliance has agreed to meet with us. The meeting is set for eight o’clock tonight.”
The news left Branden frowning lightly. Despite having guessed that Hacker Alliance would agree tomeet, Branden didn’t expect them to set the time so close. Did Hacker Alliance mean to leave theDuncans no time to prepare?
Seeing Branden’s face had darkened, Paxton’s brows furrowed too.
In his eyes, this matter could not be handled easily. Hacker Alliance was too mysterious. Paxton heardthat in addition to IT talents with top-notch computer skills, there were also great fighters in theorganization. It could be said that Hacker Alliance was full of experts.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have almost taken over the chip industry after being established for merely a fewyears.
“Mr. Duncan, why don’t I pretend to be you and attend the meeting tonight?”
It shouldn’t be a problem as long as Paxton wore a mask.
Branden was the sole heir of Duncan Corporation. He couldn’t afford to be endangered.
Branden sneered lightly, looking mocking and cold.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at Paxton. “What is it? Are you afraid that something will happen tome?”
Paxton didn’t miss the coldness in his boss’s eyes. He was so scared that he knelt immediately andnodded as he admitted to his mistake.
“Mr. Duncan, I did wrong. Please punish me. I’m just worried that Hacker Alliance is too cunning andthat we cannot defend ourselves.”
Tapping his slender fingers rhythmically on the black marble table, Branden showed a faint smile afterhearing about Paxton’s worry.
“If we can’t defend ourselves, then let’s not. I’d like to see how capable Hacker Alliance is.”
Meanwhile, at the Swanns.
Catherine also got news from Ronin.
[Boss, we’ve arranged to meet with the Duncans at eight o’clock tonight in Room 888 of Charm Bar. Iheard that the young head of the Duncans will be the one to meet us then. Should I hurry over so that Ican go with you?]
Catherine took a look at the text, deleted it, and then sent Ronin a reply.
[No. Joseph will come with me.]
On the other end of the line, Ronin stared nervously at his phone after receiving the text.
Why did he suddenly feel like he was no longer his boss’s favorite?
How could the traitor, Joseph, be even closer to the his boss than he was? Ronin was reluctant andwanted to go to Catherine first.
However, without his boss’s order, Ronin didn’t dare to. One had to know that it was horrible. whenCatherine got mad.
At eight o’clock, Charm Bar opened officially.
Even though it had just opened, there were many people in there. It was vibrantly busy.
In Room 888, the men from Duncan Corporation were already there…
Wearing a black shirt, Branden sat slowly in the corner of the sofa. He stared carelessly at the fun onthe dancefloor downstairs. His eyes remained indifferent as he was unmoved at the scene.
A few minutes later, Paxton pushed the door open with the latest news.
“Mr. Duncan, the man from Hacker Alliance is here. Should I let him in?”novelbin
Branden nodded lightly.
Paxton left and returned a moment later with a man in a mask.
Even though the man wore a mask, Branden recognized him immediately. It was Joseph, the manCatherine was following here at the bar last time.
He was indeed from Hacker Alliance. It seemed that Catherine was probably related to Hacker Alliancesomehow.
