All Her Secrets

At the Duncan Corporation, a high-level meeting was in progress, and Branden, who had maintained a constant expression throughout in the head seat, suddenly furrowed his brow.

The executives below were scared out of their wits and shivered, especially the manager who was reporting the situation.

He was already nervous. Seeing the change in Branden's expression, he was now trembling in fear as if seized by an epileptic fit, unsure which part of his report had angered the big boss.

In that split second, Branden felt a chill down his spine, suspecting someone was cursing him behind his back. He could not help but furrow his brows.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere of the meeting room, the manager, who was reporting, paused in his narration. Branden waved his hand, gesturing for the other party to continue.

When the manager saw that Branden had no inclination to burst into anger, he carefully continued, "Based on the latest data summary from last week, as of the end of last week, our group has incurred a huge loss in the projects we are competing with the subsidiaries of the Breen Group." Hearing the financial report, everyone present turned ashen-faced.

Since Branden took charge of the Duncans, this was the first tthey had suffered such a significant loss. However, facing the globally renowned Breens and entering into a battle with them, such losses were somewhat expected.

The manager stopped reporting after presenting the situation, waiting for Branden to speak.

Paxton handed the latest data to Branden. Branden glanced at it indifferently and said expressionlessly, "Continue." The high-level executives exchanged puzzled glances and thought, "Are we going to continue with such heavy losses? Is Mr. Duncan planning to compete head-on with the Breens to the end?" This clearly wasn't a wise decision. Regardless of whether they won or lost in this business battle, it wouldn't bode well for the Duncans.

After all, Eskana was the Duncans' stronghold. As long as they resisted, the Duncans had a good chance of winning. However, the Breens were formidable opponents. This business battle would undoubtedly severely damage the Duncans.
