Chapter 875 Information Leakage

“Paxton,” Branden shouted, and Paxton immediately bowed his head and apologized. “Mr. Duncan, I was wrong. Sorry, I was rude.”

Breen Group’s general manager did not pursue the matter and said perfunctorily, “It’s fine. Mr. Paxton was concerned about Mr. Duncan. It’s our fault for coming a little too often.”

The reason why he did not lose his temper with Paxton was because of Paxton’s special status.

Everyone knew that Paxton was like Branden’s shadow. If the general manager didn’t show respect to Paxton, it was like he didn’t take Branden seriously.

The atmosphere eased a lot. Branden sat on the side, holding the coffee that his secretary had just brought in. He was waiting for the other party to speak.

The general manager of Breen Group discussed with the deputy director and decided to have the deputy director speak up to discuss the matter.

He was the one who brought out the check last time, and it was clear that he was Shane’s real spokesman. “Mr. Duncan, we’ve received the news. We’ve heard that a part of the core information of our cooperative project has been leaked. This part of the core information involves the ultimate interests of our project. May I ask if there is such a thing?”

Branden put down the coffee cup in his hand. Then he raised his eyes to look at the deputy director coldly and said calmly, “Yes!”

This response made the deputy director freeze for a moment.

He originally thought that if Branden strongly denied it, he would lay out the evidence and fiercely attack Branden. And when the news spread, he wanted to see how Branden would face everyone.

But he didn’t expect Branden to admit it directly, which caught him off guard. He could only implement the alternative solution to continue responding. “Mr. Duncan, this is the core information that concerns the interests of the project. Wouldn’t the Duncan Corporation be too careless? This makes me seriously question the ability of the Duncan Corporation.”

“You question our ability, and so what? “Branden raised his eyebrows and looked at the deputy director. “Are you planning to break the contract? Paxton, get the breach of contract and get the finance manager here as well.”

Branden gave the order, and Paxton immediately took action.

The two people sitting opposite were dumbfounded, especially the deputy director.

He thought to himself, “We do want to mention the breach of contract, but how does it seem that we have become the defaulting party and the Duncan Corporation has become the victim?”

After thinking about this, he said directly, “Mr. Duncan, this isn’t right. The information was leaked by your company, and it was you who caused a loss of interest in our company and posed significant risks to the project. If we propose to end the contract under such circumstances, you will have to pay us the full amount of liquidated damages, right?”

“Humph!” Branden curled his lips and laughed coldly, his disdainful eyes falling coldly on the deputy director. ” Who told you that cooperating with the Duncan Corporation would cause losses to your company?”

These words made the deputy director very puzzled. He looked at Branden with a face full of confusion. “Mr. Duncan, didn’t you admit just now that the core information was leaked? Wouldn’t that cause damage?”

“The information was indeed leaked, but the leaked information is not real, it’s just a blindfold used by our Duncan Corporation.” Branden smiled mysteriously, and he looked very calm. “There is no doubt about the ability of the Duncan Corporation. It’s not an easy task to steal the core information of the Duncan Corporation.”

“You mean the information you were stolen is fake?” The deputy director hurriedly pursued the question.

Branden nodded perfunctorily. “I don’t like to repeat what I’ve said. If you were an employee of my Duncan Corporation, you would be in the personnel department at this moment going through dismissal procedures.”

Branden’s calmness shook the deputy director of Breen Group.

The deputy director clearly knew that the core information of the Duncan Corporation had indeed been leaked, but now that Branden didn’t admit it and insisted that the information was fake, there was nothing he could do.

He couldn’t do anything about it, but that didn’t mean he was being fooled by Branden. Because the stolen information was already in their hands, and in a while, it would be the delivery time of the second phase of the project cooperation.

“If the information the Duncan Corporation provides at that time is the same as what we have in our hands, the Duncan Corporation will have no way to deny it. Branden is just stalling for time,” the deputy director thought inwardly.

He was very reluctant to let Branden go now but there was no way to break down Branden’s lies. He could only smile and apologize to Branden. “In that case, it seems that we were overly concerned. Since that’s the case, let’s cooperate as usual and look forward to our project accomplishing its goal soon.

After apologizing, he had to carefully check whether Branden was willing to accept it.

“Are you not terminating the contract? “asked Branden.

Facing Branden’s cold eyes, the deputy director smiled brightly and said cautiously, “We were victimized by those rumors. The Duncan Corporation is so powerful. I believe you, Mr. Duncan.”

The deputy director was trying to terminate the contract at the last second, but now he immediately changed his expression and started to praise Branden. He was truly admirable for his ability to be tactful.

Branden didn’t continue to pay attention to him and directly got up to leave, leaving the rest of the matter to Paxton.

Since Shane was able to arrange for two people to come and talk as representatives, he could of course let Paxton represent him to receive the representatives sent by Shane.

Seeing Branden leave, Paxton bent down and bowed. “Mr. Duncan is so powerful. He intimidates these two clowns so easily. They’re really ridiculous. They actually dare to act recklessly in front of Mr. Duncan,” Paxton thought to himself.

In the secret base, Finn reported the latest news to their boss. “Sir, we have been arranging for people to follow Ronin since we released him. He didn’t go to Catherine right away, but stayed at a remote hotel.”

Although they let Ronin go, Ronin’s whereabouts were still in their hands. Even the car they gave to Ronin was also covered with surveillance, and it could be said that Ronin’s every word and action was under their watch.

“Well, keep watching him. As soon as he contacts Catherine, notify me immediately.” The black-robed man wanted to see when exactly Ronin would contact Catherine and what he

would do after contacting Catherine. Finn knew that his boss probably had never trusted Ronin from the beginning to the end and that his boss’

agreeing to let Ronin go was just for

their next plan.

“Don’t worry, sir. We’ll keep a close eye on Ronin.” Finn promised with conviction.

He had already arranged for a whole squad of people to keep an eye on Ronin, not daring to slack off at all.

After arriving at the hotel, Ronin took a shower. He was now lying in a cheap chain hotel, closing his eyes and resting well.

“Ding!” The alert of the text message sound made the tired Ronin slowly open his eyes. He picked up his cell phone beside him and glanced at it, with a faint smile rising from the corner of his mouth.

It was a text message from the bank that someone had transferred three million dollars to him.

He put the car Finn had given him for sale at a second-hand car dealership in the afternoon. The car was a limited edition sports car with a current market value of at least eight million dollars.

But Ronin only asked for three million dollars and his only requirement was that the full amount be paid immediately.

The dealership didn’t hesitate to agree because the price was so affordable. The money for the car was now on Ronin’s bank card.

Looking at the balance in his bank card, Ronin’s expression grew more and more pleasant. “Do you guys really think that I don’t know about the little tricks you guys are playing behind my back? Since you guys like this game so much, I’ll play it with you,” thought Ronin inwardly.
