All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 416 The Bombardment

Paxton knocked on Branden’s study door, bearing the latest message from Alton. After receiving Branden’s permission, he gently pushed open the door.

“Mr. Duncan, on the Alton side, the transaction time for that shipment has been confirmed. With Francis and the others away, maybe I should handle this trip.”

They were the four finest members of the Duncans. Each was highly capable and trained from a young age by the family head.

They had taken on nearly all the projects the head had accepted but had yet to excel in them as the head did.

This trade deal in Alton was worth tens of billions of dollars and was supposed to be managed by Francis in Alton. But the head had surprisingly sent Francis to Scorpion Island. Not only Francis, but the other two were also on Scorpion Island.

With such a substantial project, Paxton couldn’t entrust it to others, so he volunteered. Branden leisurely finished signing the last document. Then he looked up at Paxton.

“Arrange a flight to Alton for tomorrow afternoon.”

Paxton was taken aback. “Mr. Duncan, are you planning to go yourself?”

Branden rested his elbow on the desk, and his deep eyes glinted with a hint of coldness as he gazed at Paxton.

“Is there a problem?”

That cold look sent a shiver down Paxton’s spine. He shivered and quickly replied, “No, Mr. Duncan. Your presence is naturally the safest option. I’ll arrange it right away.”

As Paxton exited the study, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering unease. Branden arranged the deal personally. It was not because Branden didn’t trust Paxton.

There were other reasons for his trip to Alton. It might be partly due to manpower issues, but the more significant reason was Catherine.

Catherine was in Alton right then, and Branden had a chance to meet her. Paxton finally understood the saying, ” Absence makes the heart grow fonder.”
