Chapter 573 See What You Got
The Duncan Manor stood tall and imposing.
Paxton, holding the latest intelligence, approached the door of the study. Once granted permission, he cautiously pushed openthe door. “Boss, there’s some information regarding the Swanns. Would you like to take a look?”
In the past, Paxton would have handled such matters himself without reporting to anyone. But things were different now; she wasthe head of the Swanns, and she would be Branden’s wife. That was to say, the Swanns were now considered part of theDuncans’ interests, so it was natural to report such matters to Branden.
Branden glanced over, frowning slightly. “Grelin Group?”
Paxton bowed and responded, “Boss, the Grelin Group is backed by the Coopers from Loxton, who are the in- laws of Mr.Facer.”
Noble families loved powerful alliances, and Jada’s mother also came from a prestigious background, with her family’s influencematching that of the Facers. Otherwise, Jada wouldn’t have gained Conor’s favor and affection.
Branden’s deep eyes narrowed slightly as he coldly stated, “Keep an eye on Grelin Group and find out what they're up to.”If Jada was not too foolish, she should know precisely what the consequences would be.“Do we need to inform Miss Swann about this?” Paxton asked.
“No need. Kathy just started school recently and is busy with her studies,” Branden replied. His initially cold voice softenednoticeably when he mentioned Catherine.
Paxton complained inwardly, “Come on. To her, going to university was just a way of experiencing a different life. How could shebe busy with her studies? That's definitely not going to happen!”
Branden handed the signed documents to Paxton. “Get me a ticket for the morning flight to Loxton,” he ordered.Paxton was taken aback. “Isn’t it supposed to be in the evening?”
There was an important meeting in the afternoon, and negotiations for a project were scheduled for the evening. In order toreturn to Loxton as quickly as possible, they had already been squeezing their schedule with no extra time. And now, Brandenwas asking to leave even earlier. Perhaps this was what ‘going to extreme lengths for the sake of love’ meant.
Branden fixed Paxton with a cold gaze. Paxton was so frightened that he immediately knelt.“Sorry, Boss. | will prepare it for you right away!”
When Catherine woke up in the morning, she received a call from Linda. During her time at school, she had specifically assignedpersonnel to watch over the Swann Corporation. Besides the professional manager, there was also Linda, the secretary leftbehind by her grandfather.
“Miss Swann, there’s a significant potential investment opportunity in a recent large-scale collaboration, but it involves asubstantial amount. It may need your advice,” Linda said.
Having worked for the Swann Corporation for so many years, Linda wouldn’t contact Catherine unless she met something shewasn’t sure about.
Catherine responded, “Send the documents to my email,” and then hung up the phone.
“Catherine, we need to pick up the pace. Otherwise, we'll be late for Professor Hartley's class today!”Amelia stood at the door, raising her voice to get Catherine’s attention.
Catherine strode over to her. “Let's go!”
Ever since Hero publicly invited Catherine to join his team and was rejected, Catherine’s status in Amelia’s eyes had risenseveral notches. Now, she regarded Catherine as her idol, better than anyone else.
The two hurried to the classroom, and just as they entered, the bell for class rang. Amelia once again gave Catherine a thumbs-up. “Catherine, you’re amazing! You've calculated the journey down to the last second!”
Along the way, Amelia had been fretting about being late, whispering to Catherine to hurry up. Catherine, however, calmlyassured her that with their walking speed, they would make it to the classroom before the bell, so there was no need to worry.
Amelia now finally understood why Catherine was always so composed. It wasn’t just confidence; it was also meticulousplanning. If she could calculate every detail-distances, speed, frequencies-so accurately, she might also have that samecomposure. But these were things that an ordinary person could never achieve, which set Catherine apart as a “super”individual.
As they found their seats and saw Jada enter with the teaching materials, Amelia couldn’t help but roll her eyes silently. Herimpression of Jada was deteriorating, and she found Jada more and more annoying.
“Her again?” Amelia complained, but Catherine remained silent. She didn’t care who was teaching her. After all, she wasn’tinterested in any of the content.
Seeing Catherine’s silence, Amelia quietly warned her, “Catherine, that woman is giving you strange looks. You should becareful.”novelbin
Catherine glanced at Jada. At that moment, Jada also looked back. Their eyes met, and the hatred in Jada’s eyes wasunmistakable. She clenched her hands on the desk, forcefully breaking the chalk in her grip.
Catherine, however, remained composed, with a demeanor that made it clear to any discerning person that she didn’t care aboutJada.
