Chapter 629 An Unpleasant Encounter

Jaxton personally welcomed Branden and Catherine into the venue. Once inside, Catherine finally understood why Branden had brought her to the banquet.

When Edson saw Catherine, his eyes lit up instantly, and he walked straight towards her with a raised glass. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Cassie, I haven’t seen you in a few days. I missed you so much!” Edson’s voice wasn’t quiet, and the people around clearly heard him.

They were initially surprised that Catherine could accompany Branden to the event. But they didn’t expect Catherine to know Edson as well. It was well known that the Breens and the Duncan Corporation have been at odds in recent days. Now, however, the girl who accompanied Branden to the event had such a close relationship with Edson. The complex relationship between them immediately stirred up gossip among the crowd.

Everyone wanted to know what Catherine’s background was and what the relationship between them actually was.

When Branden saw Edson coming over, his eyes instantly darkened, exuding a strong sense of hostility. An intimidating aura surrounded him. The atmosphere was thick with tension, as if a powerful cold front had swept in.

Catherine glanced at Edson expressionlessly and then walked past him without even giving him a second glance, completely ignoring him.

Edson stood still for a moment, seemingly not expecting Catherine to treat him this way.

Branden followed behind Catherine, and as he passed Edson, he snorted in disdain and looked him up and down.” Looks like you haven’t learned your lesson yet!”

Edson frowned as he watched Branden leave, not understanding the meaning behind his words. However, a few minutes later, he figured it out.

The assistant hurriedly found Edson, who was talking to someone else. ” Boss, something big is happening!”

Edson glared at him disapprovingly, warning, “You better have a good reason for this, or else I’ll kick your ass!

The assistant tremblingly handed over his phone. After looking at it, Edson suspiciously took it and was utterly shocked. He hadn’t expected that the incident of him being abducted and brought to that hellhole a while back had been recorded, and the most frightening thing was that these photos had now been posted online.

Seeing the photos of his disheveled self, Edson couldn’t control himself and threw the phone to the ground. Instantly, the phone shattered into pieces.

All eyes once again focused on Edson. The photos had already gone viral on social media, and many people had received Edson’s photos. Now, when they looked at him, there was a mocking gleam in their eyes.

The look in their eyes made Edson unable to stay at the event any longer. He immediately left the venue, followed by his assistant.

His assistant ran after him, reporting, ” Boss, I’m arranging for people to investigate. We’ll definitely find out who’s behind this!”

Edson stopped in his tracks, turned around, and angrily scolded his assistant, “You fool, there’s no need to investigate! Besides Branden Duncan, who else could be the mastermind behind this?”

At that moment, Edson finally understood why Branden had issued that warning earlier. It turned out Branden was waiting for him here. Branden was blatantly retaliating against him!

No wonder he still couldn’t find any information even if he had arranged for so many men to investigate it. It was Branden pulling the strings behind the scenes. Loxton was Branden’s territory, and he covered up this matter so that no one could find out.

Thinking about everything he had endured, Edson couldn’t take it anymore. The rage inside him was overwhelming. Now, he had no other thought except to take down Branden.

Edson stared at his assistant with a fierce and predatory look in his eyes. ” Issue the command. We’re launching a full-scale attack. I want the Duncan Corporation destroyed within three days!”
