All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 262 Free Benefits
Leaving aside the benefits the Duncan Corporation would get after signing the chip, the Duncan Corporation would get tens of
billions of dollars 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 glanced at the nearby snack cart and the fruit plate 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 place 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” flashed 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 place 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 glanced 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 glass 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 classroom, 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 classroom, 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 particularly 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 glared 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? Blaming me for not telling you? Now, you come to show me
sisterly love. Do you have a good relationship 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
relationship with Audrey. She didn’t like stupid Audrey.
Even making her pretend to have a good relationship with Audrey made her uncomfortable. 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 relationship 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 play 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 was coming
back for revenge. She silently thought, “Catherine, you can’t win me!”
In the suburban villa, Branden was there to inspect the latest projects. He rested in the villa at noon. Paxton appeared with the
latest 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 the latest 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 particularly 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 dollars 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?”
