Chapter 24
In the study of the Duncans, at night.
Paxton passed the newly acquired materials to the man sitting in the seat of honor and said, Mr. Duncan, this is what you want.”
Branden got up from the chair lazily and reached out his hand to take the materials. He glanced at the materials and gave a cold smile on his handsome face.
“Is this the result of your investigation?” Branden asked.
Paxton looked at the materials and instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Then, he knelt on the ground at once.
“Mr. Duncan, I’m sorry for my incompetence!”
The Duncans’ information network, which was highly praised by all the people in Casier, turned out to fail over a girl repeatedly. This was so ridiculous!
Branden displayed such a suffocatingly masterful demeanor.
“What about the other one? No information either?” Branden asked in his cold voice.
Upon hearing Branden’s voice, Paxton did not dare to hesitate anymore. Initially, because Paxton failed to get the information about Catherine, Branden flew into a rage. Paxton was afraid that he would disappear from the Duncans from now on if he did not respond fast enough.
“Mr. Duncan, according to the photo offered by you, I found that the man was called Joseph. Green. His information before he turned ten years old has been found, but everything about him after that has been erased. Based on what I’ve learned about him, Joseph should be from the Hacker Alliance!”
Branden repeated, “Hacker Alliance?” There was a hint of complicated feelings in his dark eyes. The slightly curved corners of his mouth suggested that he was already interested.
Paxton nodded in a confirmatory way. He was fundamentally sure of it.
The Hacker Alliance was the biggest hacker organization in the world for now. The leader of this organization was code-named, Sugar. No one had seen Sugar’s real face. It remained
unknown if Sugar was a man or a woman. Nor did anyone know about Sugar’s age.
Besides, this organization had the top computer experts in the world. It also owned a top- notch chip development company and almost monopolized the chip supply of the high-tech industry worldwide.
It was fair enough to say that if the Hacker Alliance cut off the supply of chips, 80% of the high -tech companies would be closed down.
Joseph’s eyes were wide open. He gazed in disbelief at the scene in front of him.
So many people were longing to get this thing, but Catherine just destroyed it without blinking her eyes.
For Catherine, the chip was merely something she made randomly during her spare time.
Since it was stained, it should not exist anymore.
After the chip was destroyed, Catherine was ready to get rid of the traitor of the organization. She turned around and slumped onto the sofa aside.
She leaned against the sofa leisurely. The big cap covered most of her delicate and stunning face. Only her pointed and exquisite chin was exposed to the air, which would catch people’s imagination.
“Joseph, you have one minute. Explain to me!” Catherine said.
When she said that, she showed an air of varied qualities, including wildness, arrogance, and indifference. It seemed that she was born to stand above everything.
Joseph hurriedly bowed to Catherine and expressed his gratitude constantly. Maybe Catherine was in a good mood today, so she spared his life.
Then, he told Catherine the reason why he stole the chip. His lifesaver was diagnosed with cancer and needed a big sum of money for medical fees. Joseph had no other way but to steal and sell Catherine’s thing for cash.
He knew what would happen to him if he turned against Catherine. Yet, he just wanted to do his lifesaver a favor at the cost of his life.
No one could lie to Catherine. Joseph was aware of that. Nor did he have the gut to lie to her.
After Catherine heard Joseph out, she still kept an indifferent face. She kicked the box to Joseph and said coldly, “This will be yours. Deal with everything and come back to report for duty in three days. Remember this. From now on, your life will be mine!”
Having heard that, Joseph felt overjoyed and kept expressing his gratitude to Catherine.
“Thank you so much. I will do as you command. After dealing with my private affairs, my life. will be yours!”
After he said that and lifted his head, he found that Catherine was already not on the sofa.
It seemed that nothing had happened. Catherine just came and left unknowingly.
In the study of the Duncans, at night.

“Yes, it should be the Hacker Alliance. Mr. Duncan, you’re going to make a deal with the Hacker Alliance next week, right? We can take the opportunity to have an investigation. Maybe we can find some clues!” Paxton said.
Branden nodded and said, “Set it up!”
“Yes, sir!” Paxton replied respectfully in a loud voice at once. He sighed in relief inwardly. Finally, he dodged the bullet temporarily.
The next day, Catherine did not get up until noon. To her surprise, when she got to the living room, she saw many people there.
The Swanns were all in the living room.
Upon seeing Catherine, Liana, who was dressed in fancy designer clothes, immediately lit up. She adjusted her body to sit straighter. Now that she finally had the goods on Catherine, she must teach Catherine a lesson this time.
Catherine looked around and found not only the four people of the Swanns but also a woman present.
This woman was plainly dressed but still looked elegant. She was a pretty woman. After all, she looked quite like Rachael.
If Catherine remembered correctly, this woman was Audrey Swann, who was also Catherine’s eldest sister.
It was said that Audrey fell out with the Swanns for a man and moved out two years ago. She did not even attend Vicente’s funeral. Yet, now, she was here. This was a bit interesting.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Korbin turned his head and immediately put on a long face when he found it was Catherine.
With a somber expression, he disgruntledly looked at Catherine.
“Catherine, since you live with the Swanns, you should obey the rules here. Remember to get up early next time. You should never let the seniors wait for you!”
He had tried his best to hold back his temper. If Catherine still did not behave herself, he would teach her a lesson.
Before Catherine could react, Liana interjected, “Daddy, someone could not get up early simply because she did something inappropriate last night.”
Liana looked highly excited now. She must have waited for this for a long time.
When Korbin heard Liana’s words, he frowned more deeply. He shifted his gaze to Liana with a long face.
