After much hesitation, Randolph finally decided to ask Catherine.
“Mrs. Swann, why all of a sudden you gotta go study? Is high school, like, a blast or something?”
Catherine casually replied, “I haven’t attended it before. Just want to give it a try!”
“I see.” Randolph nodded in understanding.
“Trying new things in life could be a good experience. Upon consideration, I have never attended highschool. Perhaps it is worth finding some time to go back and experience the joy of Mrs. Swann!” said heinwardly.
Catherine’s phone that was placed aside rang again. She glanced in the direction of it. Randolphimmediately understood and walked over, holding the packed lunch box and respectfully bidding farewellto Catherine.
“Mrs. Swann. I can see that you’re busy. I’ll take my leave now!”
After Randolph left, Catherine reached out to answer the phone. Branden’s deep and gentle voice couldbe heard on the other end of the phone. “What are you doing?”
“Just finished eating!” Catherine replied. She took the phone and sat on the nearby sofa, adjusting herposture and furrowing her brows.
The sofa here was not as comfortable as the one purchased by Branden. It was unknown where hebought his lazy sofa, but it was extremely comfortable to lean on.
Upon hearing her response, Branden realized that he hadn’t eaten for eighteen hours. He had been withthe scientific researchers, dedicating himself to the laboratory project.
After finally finishing the data organization, he handed it over to the subordinates and had a moment tocall Catherine.
He didn’t expect to miss Catherine so much after being apart for just one day. Without Catherine in hisarms, he always felt like something was missing, and even his work became less enjoyable.
“I will be going home the day after tomorrow. Will you be there?” His voice carried a palpable feeling ofanticipation.
He knew that Catherine must have brushed off the people he arranged for her and went to Oceanvile forbusiness. However, he did not know how long it would take for Catherine to return.
He missed Catherine. Catherine had just told Dr. Dunn that she would stay for three days, so shecouldn’t return until three days from now.
She left in a hurry last time to attend her grandfather’s funeral, leaving many things unfinished. After Dr.Dunn urged her several times, she took the opportunity to visit Oceanvile to deal with the unfinishedmatters here.
“Three days from now!” Catherine gave a specific time.
Everyone felt a bit disappointed that Branden still didn’t bring it up. Branden didn’t wish for Catherine tochange anything because of him.
Only one more day. He could hold on. ” Okay, I’ll wait for you!”
“Great!” Catherine gently replied before reminding him, “Be good and eat your meals on time!”
The man on the other end of the phone revealed a slight hint of surprise as his woman showed aproactive interest in his well-being.
“Awesome!” said he inwardly. After he hung up the phone, the smile on his face still hadn’t faded. Thesound of knocking echoed. Branden responded in a deep tone, ” Come in!”
Paxton and Carlo simultaneously pushed open the door and walked in. The two nervously walkedthrough the door. Upon seeing their boss’ expression, they were filled with immense perplexity.
“Just a moment ago, the researchers were discussing how the boss was going to lose his temper, but itappears now that his mood is rather good,” thought they. With a heart full of doubt, Paxton reported thematter he was about to report.
“Sir, there is news from the Winfreds. Erick now holds a 30% stake in the Winfred Group and maybecome the next president.”
Hearing this news, Branden was not surprised. He had met that boy Erick before and knew him to be avery clever brat.
“Catherine is willing to release that trouble, which means that she has recognized the capabilities of thatyoung man,” thought Branden. Seeing that Branden didn’t have much of a reaction, Paxton continuedspeaking.
“Sir, it’s said that Erick pulled some shady stuff to get Xavier to give up his shares and transfer them tohim.”
Xavier was critically ill and needed Erick’s kidney to survive. No one expected Erick to be so ruthless. Hewas acting as bait.
He poisoned himself, and the kidney transplanted into Xavier’s body was poisonous. The only antidotewas with Erick.
He would rather die than let Xavier off the hook. Erick was a regular fixture in the black market and wasquite proficient in dealing with some shady things.
The poison he obtained was not something an ordinary person could detoxify. Erick had always gambledwith his own life to achieve his goals. How could he allow Xavier to detoxify easily?
This brat was truly ruthless!
However, this entire situation could be blamed on the stupidity of the Winfreds, who surprisingly did nottake any precautions against Erick.
Without even carefully checking, they removed Erick’s kidney, giving him an opportunity to succeedeasily. To stay alive, Xavier had no choice but to transfer all shares under his name in the Winfred Groupto Erick.
After all, only by being alive could he have a chance to take revenge on Erick. Paxton briefly introducedthe situation of Erick to Branden. Branden had a poker face on and completely overlooked such shadymethods.
On the side, Carlo couldn’t help but want to applaud Erick.
“This little brat is quite fierce, which I like!” thought he. After Paxton finished reporting the news, it wasCarlo’s turn to speak.
“Sir, we’ve received a message from the higher official. It turns out the experimental base is located in avillage near Oceanvile, and there’s an expert there who is a student of Dr. Seven. The higher officialwants us to contact them to find out the whereabouts of Dr. Seven!”
Branden immediately contacted Cory and asked him back from overseas to assist Carlo in investigatingDr. Seven.
The spies from Asmein had already infiltrated. They needed to hurry up. After finishing reporting, the twoof them respectfully left.
Before they left, Branden suddenly called out to Paxton. Paxton quickly turned around, awaiting theorders of Branden.
“Bring me some food over!”
After a moment of hesitation, Paxton replied, “Alright. I’ll do it right away!”
After they left the room, Carlo looked at Paxton curiously and inquired, ”
Doesn’t our boss usually skip meals when working? Why is he asking for food this time?”
When Branden was in the laboratory conducting research, he was most concerned about beingdisturbed. He didn’t even have time for meals sometimes.
It was not that they didn’t care about Branden but that no one dared to break the rules that Branden hadset. No disturbance was allowed without a summons. This was an order that must be obeyed no matterwhat cost.
Paxton glanced at Carlo and replied coldly, “Who knows? I’ll prepare the meal for him, and you canattend to your business.”
“Ever since Miss Swann showed up, the boss has changed so much that he’s no longer someone wecan figure out,” thought he.
