Chapter 30
“Kathy, you know what…”
Since they left the study, Audrey had been following Catherine, babbling on and on. Mainly, she kept calling Catherine Kathy.
Audrey’s nagging just pissed Catherine off. Catherine turned around and pressed her hand against the wall to fix Audrey in the corner.
Audrey and Catherine were sisters, but Audrey was about four inches shorter than the latter. Thus, Catherine had to lower her head when she looked at Audrey.
Catherine slightly knitted her brows, showing two faint wrinkles on her face. She darted a cold glance at Audrey and asked sternly, “What did you call me?”
Somehow, Audrey suddenly felt that Catherine looked so masterful and intimidating. She couldn’t help shuddering all over in fear.
She raised her head to look at Catherine gingerly and said discreetly, “I called you Kathy.”
Instantly, Catherine’s brows were heavily furrowed. She gazed at Audrey impatiently.
“Don’t call me that way!” Catherine snapped.
“Why? Kathy…” Audrey subconsciously replied. She felt it could bring them closer for her to call Catherine this way. There was nothing wrong with it. She liked it.
“There is no why. Just remember not to call me that way anymore,” Catherine said.
As she noticed that Catherine looked displeased, Audrey hurriedly nodded and answered, ” Okay, Kathy!”
Catherine was so helpless. It seemed that it wasn’t easy to make Audrey change how she called Catherine.
“Audrey, your man’s flight will arrive in Casier at 5 pm, right? It’s past four now. Won’t you be late if you don’t go now?”
Her reminder just made Audrey’s eyes wide open. Then, Audrey exclaimed loudly, “Oh right, I’m running late!”
Audrey immediately ran away and rushed out of the Swanns’. After getting in the car, she finally realized something.
She frowned in confusion and thought, “It’s so weird. How did Catherine know about my boyfriend? She even knows about the time of his flight to Casier.”
After she got rid of Audrey, Catherine went back to her basement.
As soon as she entered the room, her phone buzzed violently in her pocket.
Catherine took out her phone and had a glance at it. It was Ronin.
Having looked at the time, Catherine slightly knitted her brows and answered the call.
“It’s me!”
Catherine’s aloof voice revived Ronin’s spirits at once. He hadn’t heard Catherine’s voice for a long time. He was even a bit not used to this.
“It’s me! This is Ronin. You and I…”
Ronin was interrupted by Catherine before he could express his excitement on the other side of the line.
“Just get to the point!”
Her cold words just sent chills down Ronin’s spine. Ronin did not dare to act recklessly again. He hastened to talk about why he made the call.
“Someone wants to buy our chip at a price three times the market price. They intend to buy out this year’s share.”
In the era of rapid high-tech development, the chip determined all. And it developed astonishingly fast.
The chances were high that the chip one made a great effort to buy in the first half of the year would be upgraded in the second half year. Then, the purchased chip would totally go to waste.
Buying a chip three times the market price for one year’s share was a huge gamble.
“Who is the buyer?”
“Boss, the buyer is the Duncan Corporation. They want us to send someone to deal with them face-to- face. And that’s the only request.”
Catherine narrowed her eyes and put on the cold air. “Do you mean Branden’s company?”
“Yes, exactly. And the Duncan Cooperation has released the news. Upon hearing that the Duncan Cooperation offered triple the price to buy the chip, the companies who were ready to place an order withdrew their orders. After all, they have no confidence in defeating the Duncan Corporation.”
Even Ronin had to admit that the Duncan Corporation was the leader in the industry.
“Boss, how about I go and meet the representatives of the Duncan Corporation and figure out what on earth they are up to?” Ronin suggested.
Catherine’s eyes glinted with fierceness, and then she replied in a cold voice, “No need. I’ll go by myself!”
After hearing Catherine’s answer, Ronin, who was on the other side of the line, was stunned for three seconds.
Catherine was going on her own?
It was so exciting!
Ronin thought, “No way. I can’t always let her deal with everything.” He was about to persuade Catherine not to do it when the phone was hung off unknowingly.
It seemed that this time, Catherine had made up her mind.
