Chapter 407 You Better Not

After learning about his daughter’s situation, Enzo fell silent for a long while. Their eldest son had reliedon the Swanns’ business, and now, not even Korbin could handle that troublesome girl. So, there wasno hope to count on their eldest son.

The only one they could rely on was their second son, Adrien. After pondering for a long time, Enzomade up his mind.

“I’ll make a call to Adrien.”

With those words, he headed to the study. Donna reached out and held Rachael’s hand, whispering tocomfort her, ”

Don’t worry. Your father has gone to see Adrien for help. Adrien is capable, and Catherine Swann won’tbe a problem.”

In the past, Rachael would have believed those words. But now, even Korbin couldn’t deal with that girl.Though Adrien was indeed capable, his skills mainly lay in politics. Rachael wasn’t certain about hisability in the business world.

Rachael and Donna discussed their situation in the living room. They were unaware that there was afigure lurking in the corner, eavesdropping on their conversation.

Alyssa had heard from a servant that her sister, Rachael, had returned, which was unusual. Rachaelvisited them from time to time, but she rarely showed up in the morning.

There must be something wrong at this hour. Quietly, she stood in the corner of the living room, notmaking a sound, hoping to learn what they were discussing. Unexpectedly, she heard such significantnews.

Her earlier judgment was correct. Catherine was not an ordinary girl. She had even brought downKorbin.

Alyssa needed to inform her husband of this news quickly. No matter what, she had to be prepared notto offend either side so they could maximize their profits.

The security officer watched as Adrien answered the phone. Adrien’s smile held an odd, eerieexpression that made the officer wonder.

“Chief, what’s made you so happy today?”

He remembered that Mr. Lang wasn’t particularly fond of the Langs, and each time they called, his faceremained indifferent.

Why did he seem that pleased today?

Adrien Lang looked up at him, his eyes carrying a profound meaning. “How did the investigation Iasked you to conduct go?”

As for the matter in question, the security officer couldn’t help but furrow his brow. “Chief, I waswondering why you wanted me to investigate a young girl. I now understand she’s not ordinary. She’slike a blank canvas, and nothing amiss about her.”

As long as a person existed in this world, they would inevitably leave some traces. The only possibilityfor this blank page was that the person who carried out the investigation didn’t have sufficient authorityto access core information.

Adrien’s expression changed at the response, furrowing his brow. He asked again, “Did you follow myorders properly?”

The officer replied earnestly, “Yes, Chief. I even checked in the archives under your name, but there isno information about this girl.”

Modern archives were all interconnected. As long as someone lived in this world, they left some sort ofrecord.

However, the last time he investigated, he couldn’t find any information. Adrien became interested, forhe hadn’t expected there were people they couldn’t trace. It seemed that his niece was trulyextraordinary!

But if she were ordinary, the situation wouldn’t be interesting. After all, she had managed to infuriateKorbin to the point of being hospitalized, which made her either a genius or a devil.

Seeing Adrien rise, the security officer promptly followed.

“Chief, are you going out?” the officer asked. Adrien grunted in agreement, and the officer rushed toprepare the car.

Adrien intended to investigate personally to understand who his niece really was. Once he hadgathered enough information he could report back to Enzo.

After school, Catherine arrived at the school gate and saw Branden’s car parked in front. The momentshe appeared, Branden stepped out of the car.

To avoid attracting more attention, Catherine didn’t linger. She walked straight to the car and didn’thesitate for a second.

Even so, her actions drew considerable attention. This included her envious stepsister, Liana. She sawBranden bend to open the car door for Catherine, and her jealousy reached its peak.

“Why does Catherine have so many people showering her with favor?” Liana wondered.

“Isn’t it all because of her charms that she beguiled Branden? If it weren’t for the Duncans supportingher, what would she be?”

Liana saw Catherine as nothing more than a rural disaster child that no one wanted. As Catherine’s cargradually departed, there was hatred burning in her eyes.

She vowed to make Catherine pay the price she deserved. Catherine sat in the car, with Brandenplaying with her hand as they chatted.

“Triston invited us for dinner, so we are eating out tonight. Are you up for it?

Triston and Aidan were eager to meet Catherine after hearing she had returned. Branden was open tothe idea as long as Catherine agreed.

Catherine didn’t mind eating out, even if the food couldn’t compare to Branden’s culinary skills.However, she wouldn’t mind dining out from time to time.

“Yes,” Catherine replied.

It was never a bad thing when someone else paid for dinner. With Branden, Catherine arrived atRestaurant l’Aménite, which they often visited. There, she discovered that not only Triston and Aidanwere present.

Yesenia and Ronin had both arrived, even earlier than Catherine. Seeing Yesenia, Catherine was notsurprised that all of them were gathered there. Yesenia’s persuasive skills were unparalleled. Therestaurant manager noticed Branden’s arrival and came out personally to greet him.

Adrien had a private dinner engagement tonight, and to ensure privacy, he had deliberately chosenRestaurant l’Aménite.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

The person hosting the dinner had some influence on Casier, given that even the manager ofRestaurant l’Aménite greeted them.

“Sorry, gentlemen, I need to attend to a few more VIP guests. I’ll be right back,” the manager said.

He was about to leave.

Then, Adrien, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, “Were those two young people who entered theprivate room just now?”

The manager’s gaze shifted to Adrien.

Although he wasn’t wearing a uniform today, his presence was extraordinary. After years in the serviceindustry, the manager honed his ability to spot important individuals.

The manager quickly turned around. He responded with respect, “Sir, it’s better not to inquire furtherabout those two.”

This remark caused a change in the expressions of those present. The host who had invited Adrien todinner frowned, feeling somewhat challenged by the response.

“Why can’t I ask about their background? Is their influence so great? “the host inquired. Understandingthe host’s intention, the manager was careful to safeguard the interests of the guests.

“Mr. Hauray, the person you just inquired about is from the Duncans,” the manager stated, making hispoint clear.

The person asking the questions was jaw-dropped. To be of this age and still from the Duncans and tohave the manager of Restaurant l’Aménite acting so cautiously, could it be that…

“Branden Duncan, Mr. Duncan?” the person exclaimed and then immediately fell silent.

In Casier, everyone knew about the Duncans. Their overwhelming influence made them untouchable,especially Branden, who was renowned for his ruthlessness. No one dared to provoke them.

Compared to the others’ astonishment, Adrien remained silent. He couldn’t help but wonder if the girlwho had stood by Branden’s side was indeed Catherine. He noticed that their hands seemed to belinked!

The fact intrigued him more and more. His niece was turning out to be an interesting woman.novelbin
