Chapter 395 Being Followed At the Swanns’.
It was late at night, but Korbin’s assistant suddenly visited him.
The butler led the assistant to Korbin’s study. The assistant handed the file to Korbin. It was the latest information they intercepted. “Mr. Swann. Here’s the news of Oceanvile.”
Korbin read the file with a triumphant smile on his lips.
The prick, Leonel, had plotted against them. Catherine had cooperated with Mr. David to have the chip and have the Duncans supporting her.
With all kinds of help, Leonel and Catherine increased the stock prices and tried to get Catherine to be the chairperson.
But so what?
Korbin was still in charge of the Swanns and would inherit the family properties. With that file, Korbin would have an even more bright and prosperous future.
Feeling somewhat complacent, Korbin looked up at his assistant and asked sternly, “Have you found Catherine’s whereabouts?”
“Yes, we have, Mr. Swann. Miss Swann didn’t go to school in the past few days but went to Oceanvile. We heard that she went on a holiday with Branden.”
Korbin thought, “She’s at Oceanvile? No wonder my men can’t find her.”
He ordered, “Keep an eye on the flights from Oceanvile to Casier. Get rid of her when you have the chance.”
Since Catherine was so unruly, she did not have to live and be a curse to the Swanns.
The following day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarlo and Cory stayed to arrange for the protection of the base. The people from Asmein kidnapped Randolph from the base, which was the biggest humiliation to the Duncans. Carlo and Cory had to rearrange the guards to protect the safety of the scientific research base.
They had inflicted heavy losses on the spies from Asmein, but the spies did not achieve their goal and would not give up so easily.
Catherine and Branden set off back to Casier. Catherine still had classes, and it was soon the final exams. She had to go back to school.
They took the flight in the morning and arrived at Casier at noon. After they got off the plane, Branden planned to go home with Catherine and get some rest together.
But he received a call from work, saying something urgent needed his attention, so he had to hurry to the company. Knowing that he had to work, Catherine did not say anything.
Paxton arranged a car to drive Catherine home. Catherine did not refuse. She was tired and did not bother to call a car herself.
It was good to have a car readily available.
Branden did not leave until Catherine got into the car.
He had been to Oceanvile with Catherine and had many matters awaiting his attention. The car drove fast on the road, but Branden, leaning against the backseat, opened his eyes abruptly. Paxton in the front seat noticed and whispered, “Sir, what can I do for you?”
Branden said coldly, “Why did Roman Glover from the Corewell Corporation suddenly want to meet me in person?”
“Mr. Glover said he was confused about something in the contract and wanted to discuss them with you again.”
Branden’s eyes darkened, and his face turned to be stern instantly.
“Check what the Corewell Corporation is doing lately.”
Paxton knew Branden meant it and dared not delay. “I’m on it now,”
The one who drove for Catherine worked for Branden and had excellent driving skills. Catherine had been leaning against the seat and resting since she got in the car.
When the car was driving on the highway of Casier, the wary driver sensed something wrong. He stepped on the brake occasionally, and Catherine felt it. She opened her eyes, and there was a flash of coldness in her eyes as she asked chilly, “What’s wrong?”
The driver knew how much Branden valued Catherine and did not dare slight her.
“Miss Swann, it seems some cars are following us.”
He tapped the brake to confirm whether the cars were tailing them. Catherine turned her head imperceptibly to observe behind. There was a Buick on the left and a Toyota on the right.
The cars seemed unrelated, but they were all following her.
Their target was the car Catherine took, and it was hard to get rid of them. The followers did nothing yet, so Catherine could not figure out who her enemies were.
The car was still driving fast, and the driver had confirmed that they were in danger. He did not delay and wanted to contact the Duncans to send more people to help. He could not let anything happen to the person behind him.
Otherwise, his superior would gut him like a fish. He did not expect their enemies to be prepared and blocked the signal on the way. The driver had no choice but to update Catherine on it.
“Miss Swann, my phone has no signal here. I can’t contact Mr, Duncan for now. I can only speed up to drive you to the Duncan Corporation and hope I can keep you safe.”
Where they were heading was a different direction from the Duncan Corporation. Since their enemies were well-prepared, they would not let Catherine go so effortlessly.
The driver’s idea would not work.
Catherine was much more composed than the worried driver.
She checked the route on the onboard navigation system and said to the driver calmly, “We’ll soon enter the next crossing. Slow down and keep the speed at 20 when you turn. I’ll leave the car at that time, and you keep driving. Alright?”
“I can’t do that, Miss Swann. I have to ensure your safety.” The driver objected to Catherine’s request.

Even if he lost his life, he had to protect Catherine. Catherine’s voice was as commanding as a ruler as she said, “This is an order. Understand?”
The driver shivered in fear and nodded obediently.
“Miss Swann, I’ll do as you say. Please be careful.”
Meanwhile, Paxton also received a message and reported to Branden right away.
“Sir, Mr. Glover seems to have had close contact with Mr. Swann recently. I mean, Miss Swann’s father.”
Branden’s straight face turned gloomy, and his eyes were cold and ruthless.
He took out his phone and called Catherine. Paxton knew something must be amiss and tried to call Catherine’s driver, too.
Yet, no one answered their calls. Paxton’s face turned pale.
He never expected that something would happen.
If anything terrible happened to Catherine, Paxton could not imagine what Branden would do since Branden was so deeply in love with Catherine.
Branden ordered the driver to turn around and track down Catherine’s car.
He also made a new order to Paxton, ” Send a notice out. Cancel all the contracts we signed with the Corewell Corporation at all costs. I don’t care.”
“Yes, sir.”
The stony voice sent a chill down Paxton’s spine. He knew the Corewell Corporation was doomed this time.
Even Roman and his family might find it hard to live in Zerwick in the future, let alone Roman’s corporation.
How dared Roman help that jerk Korbin to hurt Catherine? Catherine was the most important one to Branden, and Branden would never allow anyone to lay a finger on her.
Those who dared to harm Catherine must pay the price.
