    Chapter 381 Three Days From Now


    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 st 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 high


    school. Perhaps it is worth finding some time to go back and experience the joy of Mrs. Swann!” said he


    inwardly.


    Catherine’s phone that was ced aside rang again. She nced in the direction of it. Randolph


    immediately understood and walked over, holding the packed lunch box and respectfully bidding farewell


    to 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 could


    be 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 her


    posture and furrowing her brows.


    The sofa here was not asfortable as the one purchased by Branden. It was unknown where he


    bought hiszy sofa, but it was extremelyfortable to lean on.


    Upon hearing her response, Branden realized that he hadn’t eaten for eighteen hours. He had been with


    the scientific researchers, dedicating himself to theboratory project.


    After finally finishing the data organization, he handed it over to the subordinates and had a moment to


    call Catherine.


    He didn’t expect to miss Catherine so much after being apart for just one day. Without Catherine in his


    arms, 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 of


    anticipation.


    He knew that Catherine must have brushed off the people he arranged for her and went to Oceanvile for


    business. 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 she


    couldn’t return until three days from now.


    She left in a hurryst 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 unfinished


    matters 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 to


    change 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 a


    proactive interest in his well-being.


    “Awesome!” said he inwardly. After he hung up the phone, the smile on his face still hadn’t faded. The


    sound 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 walked


    through 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 it


    appears now that his mood is rather good,” thought they. With a heart full of doubt, Paxton reported the


    matter he was about to report.


    “Sir, there is news from the Winfreds. Erick now holds a 30% stake in the Winfred Group and may


    be the next president.”


    Hearing this news, Branden was not surprised. He had met that boy Erick before and knew him to be a


    very clever brat.


    “Catherine is willing to release that trouble, which means that she has recognized the capabilities of that


    young man,” thought Branden. Seeing that Branden didn’t have much of a reaction, Paxton continued


    speaking.


    “Sir, it’s said that Erick pulled some shady stuff to get Xavier to give up his shares and transfer them to


    him.”


    Xavier was critically ill and needed Erick’s kidney to survive. No one expected Erick to be so ruthless. He


    was acting as bait.


    He poisoned himself, and the kidney transnted into Xavier’s body was poisonous. The only antidote


    was with Erick.


    He would rather die than let Xavier off the hook. Erick was a regr fixture in the ck market and was


    quite proficient in dealing with some shady things.


    The poison he obtained was not something an ordinary person could detoxify. Erick had always gambled


    with 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 med on the stupidity of the Winfreds, who surprisingly did not


    take any precautions against Erick.


    Without even carefully checking, they removed Erick’s kidney, giving him an opportunity to seed


    easily. To stay alive, Xavier had no choice but to transfer all shares under his name in the Winfred Group


    to Erick.


    After all, only by being alive could he have a chance to take revenge on Erick. Paxton briefly introduced


    the situation of Erick to Branden. Branden had a poker face on andpletely overlooked such shady


    methods.


    On the side, Carlo couldn’t help but want to apud Erick.


    “This little brat is quite fierce, which I like!” thought he. After Paxton finished reporting the news, it was


    Carlo’s turn to speak.


    “Sir, we’ve received a message from the higher official. It turns out the experimental base is located in a


    vige near Oceanvile, and there’s an expert there who is a student of Dr. Seven. The higher official


    wants 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 investigating


    Dr. Seven.


    The spies from Asmein had already infiltrated. They needed to hurry up. After finishing reporting, the two


    of them respectfully left.


    Before they left, Branden suddenly called out to Paxton. Paxton quickly turned around, awaiting the


    orders 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 theboratory conducting research, he was most concerned about being


    disturbed. 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 had


    set. No disturbance was allowed without a summons. This was an order that must be obeyed no matter


    what cost.


    Paxton nced at Carlo and replied coldly, “Who knows? I’ll prepare the meal for him, and you can


    attend to your business.”


    “Ever since Miss Swann showed up, the boss has changed so much that he’s no longer someone we


    can figure out,” thought he.
