Chapter 803 He is a Big Liar

“Rylan, I thought I made myself clear.” Catherine stared at Rylan with an expressionless face, a hint of impatience in her eyebrows.

Faced with Catherine’s repeated rejections, Rylan finally lost his temper. “Catherine, we are the most compatible. You don’t understand what kind of person Branden is. You’re not suitable for him!”

Rylan’s anger only intensified Catherine’s emotions. She no longer concealed her feelings, her icy gaze fixed on Rylan. “Whether we’re compatible or not is my own judgment, Rylan. We’re just friends. My affairs don’t need your interference.”

“And as for what kind of person Branden is, I know very well. If you continue to defame him, don’t blame me for not cherishing our past!”

Catherine’s voice grew colder, and her warning tone was thick.

The phrase “not cherishing our past” completely infuriated Rylan. After so many years of a relationship with Catherine, Rylan couldn’t believe she would say such things to him for Branden. He couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Catherine, you’re completely deceived by that man. I don’t want you to be fooled. Branden is nothing but a big liar. He approached you with a purpose. “Rylan angrily presented evidence. ” See for yourself if you don’t believe me.

He handed his phone to Catherine, letting her examine the evidence. He had painstakingly collected these things, and today, he had to expose Branden’s true colors.

Catherine took Rylan’s phone and carefully examined the information. As she scrolled down, her eyes darkened.

“Catherine, he deliberately approached you. His goal is your experiment project. Don’t you understand how important that experiment project is? Many people are watching it,” said Rylan.

As long as Catherine’s experiment project succeeded, it would be a giant money-making machine in the capital market. It could bring in considerable wealth and even drive the development of several key industries.

Rylan’s face was filled with anger, but his fury wasn’t directed at Catherine but at Branden, who wanted to deceive her. “Do you remember the spy incident at your school? You lost a file back then, right?”

Catherine turned to him, her eyes filled with confusion. “How do you know?”

“That person was indeed a spy from Rexinheim, but why would he steal an irrelevant file? It’s because someone was manipulating him from behind. His true purpose was not the academic report but that file. They did everything to divert attention and cover up the truth because Branden was the real mastermind behind it. He collaborated with the spy to steal that file.”

Catherine listened to Rylan’s words in a daze. She never expected that the spy from back then was connected to Branden.

Without the photos of the two together and the recorded conversations, she might find it hard to believe this fact.

When the leakage incident happened in their lab, everyone focused on the academic report, and no one noticed her missing file.

She mentioned it to Marshall when she found out, and he told her it wasn’t just one file missing. Other research projects had lost files as well.

After the case was solved, no one paid attention to this matter.

Now, Rylan told her that the real goal was the file missing from her experiment project, and the mastermind behind it all was Branden.

“Catherine, wake up. Branden is using you.” Rylan’s angry accusation gradually brought Catherine back to reality.

She looked at Rylan, her eyes indifferent. “I got it. Send me this information. I’ll investigate it myself.”

Rylan wanted to say more, but Catherine left without giving him a chance.

A hint of amusement flashed in Rylan’s eyes before disappearing when he watched Catherine disappear completely.

Back in the lab, Catherine couldn’t calm her mind. She didn’t fully believe Rylan’s words, but she knew Branden must have hidden something from her.

Not all the data here was fake. At least the person in the photos was Branden, and the pictures weren’t doctored.

Rylan knew her capabilities, so he wouldn’t use fake photos to deceive her. It could only mean that the data was a mix of truth and lies.

Staring at the photos on her desk, Catherine fell into deep thought. ” What’s Branden hiding, and what’s Rylan’s motive?” she thought.

After thinking for a while without finding answers, Catherine picked up her phone and dialed a number. ” Zobber, it’s me. Help me check some information.”

During this period, Branden had been in Casier dealing with the troubles left by the project there. He hadn’t returned to the company’s headquarters for a while. Today, as soon as he returned to the Duncan Corporation, he convened a meeting of the top executives.

Everyone could tell that Branden was in a good mood today. Even when the finance manager read the numbers wrong a moment ago, Branden merely asked him to repeat them without any punishment.

The meeting was short and efficient. Branden never liked lengthy sessions and hated unnecessary chatter.

Paxton, having rested for a day, was full of energy. As soon as the meeting ended, he followed Branden. “Mr. Duncan, are you going to the office or the apartment?”

“Mr. Duncan had been in Casier for a while, spending less time with Miss Swann. Now that he was back, he naturally wanted to spend more time with her,” Paxton thought.

“Go to the office,” Branden said and walked straight toward the office.

Catherine was in the lab and would contact him when she finished. He did not have to go early. He could handle the immediate tasks first.

“Any news of Ronin?” Having just sat down, Branden couldn’t wait to ask Paxton about the situation.

Paxton shook his head. “We’ve arranged to have it checked out, but there’s no information. Francis’s injuries are almost healed. I’ll continue to have him and Carlo investigate. We should have a response soon.”

It was strange. They found out that Ronin hadn’t left Loxton, so he should be held captive somewhere in the city. But despite their best efforts, deploying numerous agents to search, they couldn’t find any information about Ronin. It was as if he had vanished into thin air, and even those who captured Ronin seemed to have never existed.

Branden’s eyes gradually darkened. If Ronin couldn’t be found, the person behind it couldn’t be exposed, and it would be like placing a time bomb at Catherine’s side.

“Tell them to increase manpower. Even if we have to turn Loxton upside down, we must find Ronin!” said Branden.

Paxton immediately took the order without a moment’s hesitation. “Yes!”
