All Her Secrets

Chapter 887 Ronin Didn’t Show Up

As Branden saw the message from Catherine in the office, the icy solemnity on his face gradually faded, and his lips curved into a smile.

If it weren’t for the work still unfinished, he should be at home resting with Catherine instead of facing this mountain of files.

Paxton noticed Branden was in a good mood, so he bravely reported the situation, “Sir, there’s been some news from outside that our land in the western suburb didn’t sell. Now, more and more people are starting to question it, and that’s not good for us.”

Paxton didn’t understand why Branden would hand over the land in the western suburbs to others.

It was obviously a profitable deal, but now they were letting someone else take it. They had been keeping this news under wraps and had no idea who had leaked it.

The situation was getting more and more complicated, and it was very likely to bring a huge crisis to the Duncan Corporation.

The information leakage issue hadn’t been resolved yet, even though Branden used strong tactics to suppress the media last time. Suppressing the media might work, but the voices from below were hard to suppress.

The news of the unsuccessful sale of the western suburb land had leaked again. It was safe to say that it had caused quite a stir in the city.

Paxton looked at Branden with some concern and said, “Sir, there are rumors going around that we have to compensate Breen Group because of a data breach, so we don’t have enough funds to support the western suburb project, which is why it fell through.”

After listening to Paxton’s report, Branden had a completely nonchalant expression.

He never understood why, when he suggested that they could exchange under any conditions, the other party chose the plot of land in the western suburb. It turned out their real intention was this all along.

If there hadn’t been a leak of information, the failure to sell the land in the western suburbs wouldn’t have had any impact on the Duncan Corporation at all.

Now, with two big projects failing back to back, if this news were confirmed, the outside world would definitely question the Duncan Corporation’s ability.

Once investors lost confidence in their stocks, there was a risk of everyone selling off together, which could easily crush the Duncan Corporation.
