All Her Secrets



Chapter 987 Rich Lady

After Catherine woke up, she found the sun almost setting outside.

Though the lounge of Branden wasn't spacious, it was incredibly comfortable to sleep in. Catherine got out of bed. As she opened the door, she overheard conversations outside. She cautiously opened the door just a crack and saw several people in a meeting.

Branden sat at his desk, with several executives of the Duncan Corporation seated in front of him. They were reporting on their work, while Branden listened quietly, occasionally offering some insights.

Catherine couldn't help but appreciate the sight. A man focused on his work was indeed attractive.

Paxton noticed that Branden suddenly accelerated the process, skipping through pages that needed analysis. Seeing senior executives sweating over the speed, Paxton couldn't help but feel sorry for them. Even he, who understood Branden the most, found it challenging to keep up. As Paxton was puzzled, he suddenly noticed the crack of the door. He instantly realized the situation and urged the others to report as fast as possible.

What was supposed to be a meeting lasting half an hour was ultimately completed in less than ten minutes. As soon as the meeting ended, Paxton hurriedly ushered everyone out.

Once everyone left the office, Branden finally stood up. As he reached the door of the lounge, it opened from inside.

Catherine leaned against the doorframe with a smile. "Worried I overheard some confidential information and came to arrest me?"

Branden tilted his head, smiling helplessly, and pulled her into his arms. "The entire Duncan Corporation is yours. If you want anything, just let me know, and I'll fetch them for you." Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

Amused, Catherine replied, "Don't say that. When I really set my eyes on your Duncan Corporation one day, you better not be stingy."

'The Duncan Corporation is the Duncans' legacy. I'd need Karl's approval if I give it to you. But I can give you something else." Branden led her back to his desk, making her sit on his lap comfortably. Then he handed her a file.

Catherine was confused. Jokingly, she asked, "Planning to show me some confidential information?"

Branden gestured for her to open it. Following his suggestion, Catherine opened the file. Shocked by its contents, she exclaimed, "Are you transferring all these properties to me?"

Branden nodded seriously. Apart from the Duncans' assets, he handed over all his personal wealth to Catherine. Catherine asked with surprise, "Aren't you afraid I'll run away?"

Though it was Branden's personal wealth, the amount of money was staggering.

Branden's expression became tense. "Where would you go? Without taking me along?"

Catherine chuckled and said, "Since I'll run away with the money, I can't possibly take you." Branden said seriously, "I can still make money. It's more profitable with me around."

Amused, Catherine nodded repeatedly. "Alright. I'll take you along."

"Let's go. Before taking me, treat me to a meal," Branden said.

Catherine frowned and asked, "I've only taken your assets. You can't afford a meal now, and you want me to treat?

Branden nodded seriously. "Yeah. Since I officially joined the Duncan Corporation at 18, I've only taken a dollar each year. Now that I've given you all my wealth, I'm indeed broke. Rich lady, can you support me?'

Catherine lifted his chin with her hand, earnestly scrutinizing his face. "Considering your handsome face, I'll allow it. Follow me, and I promise you to eat nice meals."

Hearing this, Branden playfully blinked and replied, "Okay, rich lady."

ANAWA

When they left the Duncan Corporation, Karl was already at home waiting for them. During this period, they had been having meals together.

Due to Rylan's incident, Thomas worried about Aaron and called him over. The atmosphere here was pleasant, and Aaron enjoyed it. In gratitude for Thomas's kindness, Aaron decided to showcase his culinary skills and made the dinner.

Seeing Branden bringing Catherine back, Thomas immediately went to the kitchen to announce dinner.

Catherine had been experiencing some discomfort. She felt much better after tasting the food cooked by Aaron. This relieved Branden, who had been insisting on cooking nutritious meals for Catherine himself. He acknowledged that his cooking skills couldn't match Aaron's.

With Catherine's pregnancy progressing, her appetite increased. Hungry moments prompted cravings, but overeating made her uncomfortable. Even with her robust physique, Catherine felt the challenges of pregnancy. "Take a walk with me," Catherine said to Branden.

Upon hearing this, Karl urged Brande, "Boy, get up quickly. Be careful downstairs, and avoid dark areas."

Branden had already stood, but he was pushed back down by Karl. He replied helplessly, "Grandpa, I got it."

Then Branden assisted Catherine out of the door. The university staff dormitory was close by. Catherine hadn't visited Winston after he came back. She wanted to see him and proposed the idea to Branden.

Branden nodded. 'Since we're idle, let's go see. I'll grab a gift for him."

There were several gift boxes in the car's trunk. Branden casually picked one up. Then the two headed toward Winston's place.

The old-style apartment building had an iron gate, and the soundproofing was not great. As they reached the door, they heard the noisy conversations inside. Recognizing Marshall's voice, Catherine lightly tapped the gate. The noise inside instantly quieted down, and Marshall cautiously turned to look outside. "Who could it be at this hour? Is it your son, Winston?"

Winston shook his head and said, "He is on an Arctic expedition. He won't be back for three months. It's definitely not him. You guys stay put. I'll go check."Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Winston approached the door, opened it, and saw Catherine and Branden standing outside. His eyes lit up instantly. "It's you! Why have you two come? Come in quickly."
