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 accepted their order and demands," Catherine instructed.
Upon hearing Catherine's command, Wantel looked at her in surprise. " Catherine, are you planning to reveal your identity?" Before, Wantel didn't understand the relationship 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 become a family in the future, so there was no need for them to keep secrets from each other.
Catherine glanced expressionlessly at Wantel. "No need to reveal my identity. Just accept 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 clarification but was
silenced by a glance from Catherine, swallowing back the words that had almost come out of his mouth. Her presence was so intimidating that just a single glance 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's competition 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's competition finally came to an end. Zobber immediately organized a trip and called everyone in.
Branden and the others arrived late, 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 delay 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, accompanying her to enjoy the refreshing sea breeze.

"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. The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest
