The globally renowned business and finance banquet happened to be held in Loxton this year.After Branden got out of the car, he took Catherine’s hand and helped her out.
Catherine leaned in slightly and looked at him.
“Grelin Group?”
Branden had a small smile and didn’t answer. He took Catherine’s hand and slowly led her inside.“My little girl was just so smart. She can guess everything,” he thought.
Recently, Grelin Group approached the Swann Corporation regarding a potential collaboration project. However, Lindaexpressed concern about the significant amount of funding involved and sought a discussion with Catherine.
Catherine could tell at a glance that there were problems with the project, but she still chose to collaborate with the Grelin Group.“We can’t just roll over and play dead when the other side is trying to trick us.“Not fighting back would appear as if the Swann Corporation is too weak and can be easily bullied, wouldn't it?” she thought.
The best way to deal with Grelin Group was to sign a collaboration agreement and cut off the financial support behind GrelinGroup.
Once the financial chain of Grelin Group broke, the company would face bankruptcy immediately.
Catherine had just uncovered the Grelin Group’s source of funds. The Skybow Group, headed by Professor Edward Anderson,was its biggest source.
The financial newspaper reported a few days ago that Edward would be attending this finance banquet. Branden brought heralong. As for the reason, Catherine didn’t need to guess to figure it out.

With a straight face, she walked up to Catherine as if she was interrogating her. “Why are you here?”
