All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 691 His Sore Point

Zobber had heard about what was going on at Styre University, but she shrugged it off as nothing much.

She thought a tiny matter like that wouldn’t bother Catherine. So, she ignored it. She just focused on the tasks Catherine had assigned her.

“Catherine, Branden just put in an order for Hacker Alliance again. This time, he jacks up the price by tenfold! He is so generous!”

For a regular order, even double the commission would’ve been a big deal. The Duncans were loaded, but no one expected them to jack up the price by tenfold. Even the seasoned members of the Hacker Alliance were taken aback by the Duncans’ extravagance.

Hearing that, Catherine was unfazed as ever.

Branden had always been like this- anything he set his mind to could be accomplished. Money was just a number for the Duncans.

She simply replied, “I told you to take the order. Any issues?”

Zobber wouldn’t have bothered making this call if it were a regular order. The demands were so high that Zobber couldn’t make the decision herself. So, she turned to Catherine.

“Catherine, the Duncans specifically want the chief of the Hacker Alliance to take the order. They won’t accept anyone else.”

Hearing that, Catherine frowned.”

They want me to take it?”

“Yeah. Specifically, you!”

The Duncans upped the reward tenfold precisely because they demanded the chief of the Hacker Alliance to handle it. It was something unheard of in the industry.

Zobber hesitated for a moment before voicing her thoughts. She asked, ” Catherine, what if the Duncans just want to confirm your identity? Maybe Branden’s bluffing, and they’re actually looking for you!”
