Chapter 781 Free Lunch
The private room's door was opened, and the waiter led several people into it. Not only was Ronin there, but even Withal and Zobber were invited.
Ronin froze for a moment when he entered and saw Catherine. He turned his head to look at the nearby Zobber. " You even invited Catherine?"
Zobber was also a bit surprised when she saw Catherine. She had originally joked with Ronin that she would treat him to a meal, but she wasn't the one who was actually going to treat him.
"Paxton didn't tell me it was Mr. Duncan who treated us to lunch. I thought it was him who would treat us to lunch!" said Zobber.
Hearing this, Ronin and Withal simultaneously rolled their eyes toward Zobber.
They thought Zobber was stupid. They didn't want to pay attention to her.
Paxton was Branden's most loyal lackey. How could he suddenly treat everyone to a meal? Ronin and Withal felt there was something fishy about it as soon as they heard it.
They thought only a brainless woman like Zobber would believe that people like Paxton would suddenly treat her to a meal.
Seeing several people standing and discussing, Catherine put down the fork and looked at the crowd.
"Are you guys going to eat by standing there? Have a seat!" Catherine gave an order, and the crowd pulled out their chairs and sat down obediently.
Paxton beckoned the waiter to serve the dishes. Looking at the table full of delicacies, the crowd felt something was not quite right.
Withal and Ronin exchanged glances, then focused their eyes on Catherine.
Catherine was as calm as ever, completely unaffected.
Ronin knew it was useless to ask Catherine about this, so he reached out and nudged Zobber aside, leaving her in charge of inquiring about the ultimate purpose of the meal.
Zobber originally hated doing this kind of thing, but it was she who brought Ronin and the others there this time. If she didn't make a sound, she would be blamed by them when they went back.
There was no way around it. Zobber could only grit her teeth and speak. " Mr. Duncan, these dishes are all delicious and expensive. But as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world. You're suddenly treating us to such a good meal here. What's your purpose?"
Branden raised his eyes at Zobber with interest, the corners of his mouth rising slightly. "I'm having a special feast for you guys. It's sort of a thank-you meal!"
Although Branden was saying these words with a smile, Zobber felt uneasy in her heart, and a cold sweat broke out behind her back. "A thank you meal? We didn't do anything. Why are you thanking us?"
Zobber thought to herself, "This isn't a thank-you meal. It's just a meal with bad intentions!"
"Casier Real Estate!" Branden prompted only three words, and Zobber shut up.
It wasn't hard for Branden to find out that information. Zobber didn't need to lie, and if she kept making things up, she would eventually make them become those who made fools of themselves.
Zobber shut up and glanced toward Ronin and Withal.
Then they turned their gaze to Catherine, waiting for Catherine to make up her mind.

Branden nodded approvingly. "You're right, so I arranged this meal to express my
gratitude."
Ronin laughed awkwardly. "There's no need to do it. Given your relationship with Catherine, we should do this!"
"Is that so?" Branden purposely drawled. His bright eyes stared straight at
Catherine.
