Chapter 959 Bring Catherine Down

Zobber turned around and briefed Withal on the situation with a puzzled expression. She said, "It seems like I got a call from Black Robe just now. He told me to take down Mr. Duncan at the Duncan Corporation's showcase in a month."

Withal frowned and then turned to make a call to Catherine. Two minutes later, Withal turned back to Zobber with the update. "The information is confirmed. Catherine says the Duncan Corporation's showcase is indeed next month, not publicly announced yet, and only a few people internally are aware of it."

Zobber exclaimed in excitement, 'Wow! These people are too formidable. Information like this should only be known by the top executives of the Duncan Corporation. They must have deep connections to get this intel so quickly.'

Withal sneered with disdain. He replied, "If they weren't planted in the higher-ups, how could he boldly promise you half of the Duncan Corporation?"

Zobber found it made sense. It seemed that Black Robe had more than one operative within the Duncan Corporation. She asked, "Withal, what should we do now?"

Withal shrugged nonchalantly. "What else can we do? Just do as he says."

Zobber was surprised and thought inwardly, "Does he really think I'm a member of the Black Robe organization? Expects me to take orders unquestioningly?"

Withal quickly sensed Zobber's thoughts. "Don't forget what we told you before. If you can't do it, you have to step back from this mission. Remember that you've already betrayed the Hacker Alliance, and you and Catherine are not on good terms. Understand?"

They all knew the prowess of Black Robe. For Zobber to gain his trust, she should change her attitude. If she showed reluctance in betraying Catherine, she wouldn't be able to fulfill the task.

After some contemplation, Zobber understood his words. "I got it. Don't worry. I won't jeopardize the mission."

Withal wasn't concerned about the mission failing. He cared more about Zobber's safety. He didn't want anything to happen to any of his friends.

In the late night, the office was still illuminated. Selene stared at the photos she had just received on her desk, her eyes reddened with anger.

Not long ago, her father had called. He warned her to stay away from Branden to avoid unnecessary media attention. He also advised her not to harbor unrealistic thoughts, emphasizing that Branden was beyond her reach.

Selene thought inwardly, "Why? I'm educated and good-looking. Besides a slightly lower social status, how am I any worse than Catherine? Why does everyone tell me not to fantasize about Branden? Am I that undeserving?" Selene refused to give up. She glared at Catherine's photo with resentment. She was sure her father wouldn't call without reason. Only Karl could influence him. Without a doubt, Catherine must have schemed behind the scenes, prompting Karl's sudden concern.

Selene became angrier as she thought about it. This matter couldn't be left as it was. She had to make Catherine pay.

When Rylan returned to the office, he noticed the lights still on in Selene's office. Slowly entering, he saw Selene holding Catherine's files with hatred in her eyes. He knew she was plotting revenge against Catherine.

Sensing someone approaching, Selene looked up. Upon seeing Rylan, she said with a cold smile, "Mr. Melton, don't tell me you're here to visit me."

Rylan walked up to her and took Catherine's files from her hands coldly. Scanning her with mocking and cold

eyes, he warned, "Don't forget your mission. Your target is Branden, not Catherine."

Selene laughed and then replied, "Worried, huh? I haven't even made a move yet. Rylan, our goals are the same. My target is Branden. However, nobody said I couldn't mess with Catherine. I'm doing it. What are you going to do about it?"

Suddenly, Rylan gripped Selene's delicate neck. "Don't take my warning lightly. If you want to challenge me, go ahead. I'd like to see how long you can survive!"Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

He looked at Selene with his cold eyes. There was no hint of joking in his words.

Selene realized that if she didn't agree, Rylan would kill her. She remained silent and refrained from provoking him further. The standoff continued, and the atmosphere became tense.

After a while, a ringtone shattered the silence. Rylan answered the call. His cold face gradually darkened. After the call, Rylan reluctantly released Selene and warned, 'Remember my words. Don't test my patience."

Selene stared at him coldly. She maintained a defiant attitude outwardly but felt immensely uneasy inside. It was a fear of death she couldn't suppress because she knew Rylan was serious.

After saying that, Rylan turned and left the office without giving Selene another glance. Once he was gone, Selene was relieved and collapsed to the floor. Her legs felt shaky. If not for the timely call, she might not have survived tonight.

Rylan's sudden return to the office wasn't for work. He was here to warn Selene for Catherine.

Selene detested Catherine. In her view, Catherine was slutty and always hooked up with men. She turned the Duncans into her pawns and even made Rylan stand by her.

However, Selene gained something this night. She was originally unsure of how to deal with Catherine, but Rylan's appearance provided her with an opportunity to bring Catherine down.

Since everyone seemed to be on Catherine's side, Selene was determined to make them realize what kind of person Catherine truly was. Selene wanted to witness her downfall when no men supported Catherine.
