All Her Secrets

Chapter 904 Being Late
As the scheduled start time of the press conference approached, there was no sign of activity from the Duncan Corporation. This
made the journalists present anxious, sparking a stream of discussions about what was going on. Some even started causing
trouble.
Someone asked, “By now, the lights should be dimmed, and we should be getting ready for the start. Could it be that the Duncan
Corporation’s press conference is just a sham, a ploy to drive up their stock prices?”
Though these thoughts were not openly expressed, they all thought it made sense, especially since the announcement of the
press conference had indeed caused a spike in the Duncan Corporation’s stock prices.
Paxton wanted to address these rumors but found that any explanation seemed to only make things worse. He looked turned
towards Branden for guidance, but Branden remained unfazed, checking his phone briefly without finding any updates before
returning to his previous calm demeanor.
Meanwhile, Catherine rushed to the Duncan Corporation building, looking disheveled. Without hesitation, she took off her jacket,
revealing a utility vest and casual pants underneath, her perfectly toned midriff on display. Her appearance momentarily
mesmerized the security guards, who were too slow to react when they realized they should stop her.
“Miss, do you have an invitation?” they called after her, but it was too late; they couldn’t catch up. In a panic, they called for
backup.
Carlo, overseeing security, noticed the swift figure on the surveillance cameras and immediately instructed the security team to
stand down. “It’s Miss Swann, no need for alarm!”
After informing the security, Carlo immediately informed Paxton, ” Paxton, Miss Swann is here. She should be in the elevator by
now.”
Upon hearing that Catherine had arrived, Paxton finally felt relaxed.
After some hesitation, Carlo decided to notify Paxton. “Paxton, you might need to prepare some clothes for Miss Swann,” Carlo
said.
Paxton was puzzled by this request. What do you mean?”

Carlo didn’t know how to explain and simply said, “You’ll see.”
As they spoke, Paxton had already arrived at the elevator. As the elevator doors opened, he finally understood why Carlo had
asked him to prepare clothes for Catherine.
After a glance, Paxton immediately lowered his head, not daring to look further. Luckily, he reacted quickly, and in that split
second of lowering his head, Branden appeared behind him.
Upon seeing Catherine’s attire, Branden couldn’t help but furrow his brow.
Catherine was about to explain when she heard him ask in a displeased tone, “Aren’t you cold?”
Catherine hesitated for a moment. The air conditioning in the Duncan Corporation building was a bit strong, so she instinctively
nodded.
Branden took off his suit jacket and draped it over her. “Put it on. Don’t catch a cold!” he said.
“Okay!”
Catherine then appeared at the highly anticipated press conference wearing Branden’s suit jacket.
When Branden appeared with Catherine, all eyes were on them. Some people recognized Catherine as Branden’s fiancée. The
murmurs below started again, this time focusing on Catherine.
“So the reason the president of the Duncan Corporation hasn’t held a press conference is because he was waiting for his
fiancée.”
“How romantic! He was making so many of us wait for his fiancée!”
The sarcastic remarks left the reporters irritated.
