Chapter 873 Regaining Freedom

“Why didn’t you send me a message when you got here?” Catherine stared Branden up and down.

Her eyes were cold. Her seemingly unchanged expression had changed.

Such a gaze made Branden somewhat unsure of what Catherine was thinking at the moment. He lowered his voice and said, “I was afraid that you didn’t want to see me. I didn’t dare to contact you, so I waited here.”

As he spoke, his Adam’s apple kept rolling up and down due to his mood swings, carrying a fatal attraction.

After thinking about it, Branden decided to wait there without contacting Catherine. It was the only way he could infallibly meet her.

After hearing this, Catherine said expressionlessly, “What if I work all night tonight?”

Branden replied firmly without hesitation, “Then I’ll wait until dawn.”

“Why do you think I don’t want to see you?” Catherine asked.

Branden tugged at the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly. “My collaboration with Breen Group has been exposed. You should have already seen the news.”

Catherine stepped forward as soon as she could, instantly shortening the distance between the two. She reached out and yanked Branden’s collar as soon as she could, pulling his entire body violently in her direction. “Since you know about my grudge against Shane, you’re still collaborating with him. You’re so brave.”

“Kathy, I can’t explain it to you right now, but I promise I will never do anything to disappoint you.” Branden looked firmly at Catherine.

Catherine smiled faintly, but soon the smile on her face disappeared, followed by a cold look as she pushed Branden away. “Enough. As I said, what I hate the most is betrayal. By daring to work with the Breens, you are betraying me.”

Branden’s face was full of pain. He tried to explain, but his hand was pushed away by Catherine before he could touch her.

“Don’t touch me, you traitor,” Catherine said and quickly left.

Branden wanted to chase after her, but when he thought of the determination on Catherine’s face just now, all he could do was stand in place holding his head in pain.

He stood downstairs alone for a long time until Catherine’s figure completely disappeared, then he slowly left.

As soon as he left, the person standing upstairs immediately sent the video that had been captured just now.

The man then dialed the mysterious phone number. “Sir, Branden had a fight with Catherine. Branden has left now.”

After reporting the situation, the man hung up the phone and disappeared into the lab building.

Inside the apartment, it was quiet and dark. Branden pushed the door open and slowly walked in.

Suddenly, a blast of wind whistled. Out of instinct, Branden subconsciously dodged.

In the darkness, someone attacked Branden quickly and frantically with fast punches.

After a few punches, Branden suddenly stopped dodging. He was punched in the stomach by Catherine.

“Why don’t you keep dodging?” Catherine asked.

“Hehe…” Branden’s low, soft laughter rang out in the dimly lit room. “How can I dodge when my woman hits me? How about a couple more punches if you’re still angry?”

“No! It’s not funny.” Catherine got bored and walked to the couch to lie down. Branden then turned the lights on.

Catherine was huddling up on the couch.

Branden walked up and picked her up in a hug. “If you’re so bored, you can treat me as the sandbag and practice.”

Catherine tilted her head and looked at him seriously. “How many punches from me do you think you can take?”

Branden was a little helpless. He had a boxing champion girlfriend, which had both advantages and disadvantages.

Branden smiled brightly and chose to avoid the subject. “How about I cook some food for you? You’ve been working late. You must be hungry, right?”

Catherine glared at him with a disgusted face. “It’s useless to please me, you traitor.”

She reached up and pinched Branden’s nose, tormenting it back and forth.

If it had been any other person who dared to treat Branden like this, that person might have been killed by Branden a long time ago.

Only Catherine could treat him like this.

Branden backhanded her hand in his own arms, restricting her movement, and then put his reddened nose close to her delicate neck and rubbed it back and forth as if in retaliation. “Am I a traitor? Don’t you know that my heart and body all belong to you?”

Catherine turned around and bit down directly on his shoulder with all the force she could muster.

Branden only frowned, not even grunting. But he, who had been planning to go to cook something suddenly changed his mind.

He was aroused. He needed to release before he had the strength to make Catherine’s food.

Turning over, Branden immediately pressed Catherine under his body…

“Got it!” Ronin said softly, and Finn, who had been groggy, immediately woke up.

He rushed forward in front of Ronin with a thud. His movements were too fast, almost squeezing Ronin away.

When he saw the information on the screen, a delighted smile appeared on his face.

He patted Ronin’s shoulder lightly and complimented, “Good job. You cracked it so quickly. No wonder our boss said that you have talent in computers.”

Ronin tugged at the corner of his lips, and a very mocking smile showed on his face. He couldn’t help but mutter in his heart, “You captured me after seeing my talent. Is that considered good for me? I’m an innocent man, but I get into trouble because of my talent.”

Finn looked at the information he had and copied it directly to a USB flash drive. “I’ll take the information to the boss. Let’s see what he says.”

“Okay.” Ronin didn’t stop Finn and didn’t even have the intention to negotiate conditions.

This made Finn a little confused. He curiously asked, “Aren’t you afraid that after I leave with the information, you won’t have the bargaining chip to negotiate with our boss?”

Ronin slowly looked up, his cold gaze falling on him. “What can I do if I’m afraid?”

If he was able to negotiate with the other party, how could he be imprisoned there now?

Right now, he was like a bird in a cage. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t get free.

Finn was silent for a moment. He thought Ronin had a point. He took the information and slowly walked out.

Ronin, on the other hand, lay back on the bed to rest. He thought to himself, ” I stole the information just now. I can’t negotiate but I can at least rest, right?”

After an unknown time, Ronin felt someone open the door in a daze.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Finn standing in his doorway. Then he fell back down to continue resting.

“Ronin, get up!” Finn’s shout made Ronin somewhat dissatisfied. He turned over and sat up, frowning and glaring angrily at Finn. “What the hell is it that you have to wake me up?”

“Go,” Finn said tersely.

Ronin didn’t seem to hear and froze for a moment before responding. He looked up and stared at Finn with wide eyes. “What do you mean?”

Finn pursed his lips. “Congratulations. You regain your freedom.”
