Chapter 747 Hiding It from Branden
Catherine leaned against the railing, her face devoid of much emotion. Her icy eyes were vacant as if
nothing could capture her attention.
When Wantel entered the room, he walked slowly to Catherine and stopped in front of her. “Catherine,
do you have any orders? Just tell me,” he said.
“Do you have the information about the Duncan Corporation’s order?” Catherine asked.
“Yeah.” Wantel nodded.

“Tell the Duncan Corporation that the Hacker Alliance has epted their order and demands,”
Catherine instructed.
Upon hearing Catherine’smand, Wantel looked at her in surprise. ” Catherine, are you nning to
reveal your identity?” Before, Wantel didn’t understand the rtionship between Catherine and
Branden, but now that Wantel knew it, he thought maybe in the future, the Duncan Corporation and the
Hacker Alliance would be handled by the same person. If that was the case, it was normal to know
some of the Hacker Alliance’s secrets. After all, Catherine and Branden might be a family in the
future, so there was no need for them to keep secrets from each other.
Catherine nced expressionlessly at Wantel. “No need to reveal my identity. Just ept the order in
the name of the Hacker Alliance.”
“Not reveal it?” Wantel was somewhat shocked, seemingly not expecting Catherine to make this
decision. He wanted to ask for rification but was silenced by a nce from Catherine, swallowing
back the words that had almoste out of his mouth. Her presence was so intimidating that just a
single nce was enough to make him feel scared.
“Okay, Catherine, I see,” Wantel said.
“Go out,” Catherine said.
Wantel knew that Catherine wanted to rest, so he opened the door and walked out.
Catherine’spetition ended, and they could officially begin their free journey in Alton. Zobber was
the most excited, having been bored for the past few days. Now, Catherine’spetition finally came
to an end. Zobber immediately organized a trip and called everyone in.
Branden and the others arrivedte, appearing after dark. After everyone gathered, Zobber stood up
excitedly to announce, “To celebrate Catherine’s victory, how about we have a three-day trip before
returning?”
Instead of immediately agreeing, everyone looked at Catherine, who seemed to be deep in thought.
There was a moment’s dy before she responded to Zobber. “I agree!”
With that, cheers erupted.
Ronin raised his hands and shouted, ” Awesome, Catherine!”
When Catherine saw everyone in good spirits, her face showed a faint smile.
Zobber arranged for a boat overnight. Catherine stood on the deck, her hair tousled by the sea breeze.
Suddenly, a warm sensation enveloped her as her body was surrounded by a soft towel. She turned
her head to see Branden approaching, his long arms enveloping her tightly.
“Feeling cold?” he asked in a gentle voice.
Catherine instinctively leaned her head back, pressing it against his broad chest. “No. Are they still
drinking?” she asked.
Zobber and the others were drinking wildly in the cabin. Catherine had a few drinks and felt her cheeks
flush, so she came out to get some fresh air.
“Yeah,” Branden hummed, resting his head on Catherine’s shoulder, apanying her to enjoy the
refreshing sea breeze.
“Professor Hartley wants me to apany him to an academic seminar before I return to the country
because of the championship,” Catherine said.
Hearing this, Branden furrowed his brows. “Where to? For how long?” he asked.
“I’m going to Theisia for about three days,” Catherine said.
“I’ll apany you,” he offered.
“No need.” Catherine decisively rejected Branden’s proposal. “You’ve been in Alton for a while. Loxton
needs you. I’ll only be gone for three days.” She looked into his eyes with determination.
Three days wasn’t too long. Sensing Catherine’s firm attitude, Branden decided toply with her
arrangement. “Alright, promise me, don’t do anything risky,” he said.
Catherine leaned a bit closer to Branden, wearing a warm smile on her face, but she didn’t speak.
Branden took her silence as consent.
