Chapter 262


    Leaving aside the benefits the Duncan Corporation would get after signing the chip, the Duncan


    Corporation would get tens of billions of dors in profits just by receiving the news first. If the Duncan


    Corporation operated properly, the profit could still double!


    Ronin was a bit distressed, mainly because he didn’t want to give the news for free. “Boss, don’t we


    charge a token sum? Wouldn’t giving it away be a bit of a loss?”


    He asked cautiously and was afraid to anger Catherine. Catherine nced at the nearby snack cart and


    the fruit te on the table with a faint smile in her cold eyes.


    “It’s already been charged!”


    “Charged?” Ronin was very surprised. “Mmmm!” Catherine answered, then said domineeringly, “Do as I


    say!”


    Hearing this, Ronin knew that there was no room for negotiation and responded quickly, “Boss, don’t


    worry. I’ll get it done!”


    When Catherine opened the door the next day, she smelled the aroma wafting from outside. The smell of


    freshly baked toast was fragrant and tempting.


    As she stepped out of the room, she saw a busy figure in front of the dining room. Although the man’s


    back was to her, he knew she was up the moment she appeared. Without looking back, the man said, ”


    Breakfast is ready!”

    Catherine stood frozen in ce for a few seconds. Suddenly, she felt that she couldn’t adapt to the


    atmosphere in this room.


    Sunlight revealed the huge floor-to- ceiling windows, shining throughout the whole house and making the


    room bright.


    The word “warm” shed through Catherine’s mind at that moment! The man felt a little strange because


    he felt there was no movement behind him after he said breakfast was ready. He put down the toast in


    his hand and turned his head.


    He saw Catherine was still standing in ce and freezing. She was with less of her usual evil and


    domineering demeanor but with more of a bit of stupidity, cuteness, and confusion. Branden couldn’t help


    but reach out to scratch her nose.


    “Why don’t you move? Are you waiting for me to feed you?”


    Returning to her senses, Catherine nced at him with disgust and took a sharp bite of the toast beside


    his hand. Then she looked at him provocatively.


    Branden didn’t get angry, but the smile on his face grew more prominent. Catherine’s behavior gave him


    a more authentic feeling, which was more in line with the nature she should have at her age.


    “Is it yummy?”


    Facing the man’s inquiry, Catherine nodded honestly. Then she was pulled and held down by the man on


    a chair. He forced her to be full.


    She was forced to drink a ss of warm milk and eat two pieces of toast before being sent to school.


    Because of Branden’s timely delivery, Catherine arrived at school a few minutes earlier than usual.


    Just as she entered the ssroom, Liana stood and walked toward her. “Catherine, I need to talk to you.


    Come out with me for a minute!”


    Catherine followed her out of the ssroom, and the two stood at the end of the hallway. She stood idly


    by with her hands in her pockets, looking up at Liana.


    “Go ahead!”


    Liana looked at Catherine with a tangled face and a particrly strange look in her eyes. “Catherine, let


    me ask you. Is Audrey hurt?”


    “So you knew it. Why are you asking?” Catherine looked at Liana with contempt and belittlement in her


    eyes. She knew very well that Liana wouldn’t question her like this if she didn’t know Audrey was injured.


    What she hated the most was this kind of pretentious demeanor from Liana. Liana red at Catherine


    with a very disgruntled look in her eyes.


    “Why didn’t you tell us immediately? I learned the news of Audrey’s injury from George. Catherine, don’t


    you think this is too much?”


    She wouldn’t have known about it if George hadn’t revealed it inadvertently. She didn’t even know that


    Catherine took Bryan and the rest of them to see Audrey, but instead, she, as Catherine’s sister, hadn’t


    been brought along.


    Catherine had a look of disdain and tease in her eyes. “What? ming me for not telling you? Now, you


    come to show me sisterly love. Do you have a good rtionship with Audrey?”


    Liana was so dumbfounded by her retort that she didn’t even know how to fight back. It was true that she


    didn’t have a good rtionship with Audrey. She didn’t like stupid Audrey.


    Even making her pretend to have a good rtionship with Audrey made her ufortable. She took a


    deep breath and temporarily suppressed the anger that filled her, staring coldly at Catherine.


    “Anyway, she’s my sister. You should at least tell me. You didn’t tell me because you were worried that


    Audrey wouldn’t help you again after you told me, right?


    “You approached Audrey because you knew she had a bad rtionship with our family and wanted to


    use her to deal with our family. From beginning to end, you returned to get revenge on Mom and Dad for


    throwing you out in the countryside when you were a child, right?”


    Catherine could see that Liana was absolutely deranged, deliberately messing around with her. “You’re


    right. I just came back for revenge. Are you satisfied?”


    After saying that, Catherine turned her head to leave directly. She had no time to waste on this mentally


    troubled douchebag.


    Looking at Catherine’s disappearing back, a wicked smile appeared on Liana’s face. She took out her


    cell phone and pressed the y button. The conversation she had with Catherine just now was all


    recorded by her.


    She was now looking forward to how her father would react when he heard this recording and knew that


    Catherine wasing back for revenge. She silently thought, “Catherine, you can’t win me!”


    In the suburban vi, Branden was there to inspect thetest projects. He rested in the vi at noon.


    Paxton appeared with thetest news. 11 Mr. Duncan, I have information that needs your confirmation.”


    It was likely not just a small matter for Paxton to go and confirm with him personally. Branden paused the


    conference call immediately and turned his gaze to Paxton. “Go ahead!”


    Paxton handed Branden thetest information he received. “Mr. Duncan, the Hacker Alliance took the


    initiative to release news to us, saying that the second-generation chip development has entered the


    testing stage and will soon be ready for market use!”


    This news was indeed not an ordinary one. Branden immediately looked up at Paxton and asked, “Is it


    true?”


    “Yes!” Paxton nodded firmly. He was particrly shocked when he heard the news and repeatedly


    confirmed it. “Mr. Duncan, the news is true. From what we have learned, the Hacker Alliance has only


    leaked this news to us so far, and it’s an exclusive disclosure!”


    This was what puzzled Paxton the most. The Hacker Alliance was notorious for being mean. It was


    impossible to buy news from the Hacker Alliance.


    The Hacker Alliance had a perfect system. It was a very mysterious and powerful organization, and the


    members inside were all at the genius level. It was not easy to get news from these geniuses.


    “Mr. Duncan, if this news is true, the Hacker Alliance has given us tens of billions of dors of profit. If we


    are allowed to be the exclusive supplier of the second-generation chips, it will be beneficial to the


    Duncan Corporation.”


    This excited Paxton the most, but this news came so quirkily that he dared not to make a decision


    quickly and could only go to Branden for a discussion.


    “Mr. Duncan, what are we going to do now?”
