NovelEnglishChapter 650 The Fainted Edson Edson watched as Catherine turned and approached him step by step, a confident smile on his face. He had already assumed a stance, ready to face Catherine. "Cassie..." Just as he uttered the first word of the next sentence, Catherine acted with lightning speed. She threw a punch, landing it squarely on Edson's jaw. The force was too strong, causing Edson to tilt backward.
Catherine followed up with another punch to Edson's abdomen, then delivered a fierce kick.
Edson fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, completely unable to get up.
After dealing with him, Catherine brushed off the dust from her hands, wearing a disdainful expression as she prepared to leave.

As she turned around, Catherine saw Branden standing not far away. She stopped in her tracks, standing still and watching Branden approach step by step.
Branden reached Catherine, took her hand, and gently held it in his. "Going to eat?" Catherine neither refused nor showed impatience, and Branden knew she had agreed.
Hand in hand, they left. When exiting, Branden deliberately chose the spot where Edson had fallen. He walked proudly with Catherine. As they passed by the fallen Edson, Branden nonchalantly stepped over him.
"Ah..." the already agonized Edson couldn't help but let out a startling scream.
Branden frowned, cast an impatient glance backward, and quietly asked Catherine, "Did you hear a pig squeal?" Catherine nodded in agreement. "Yeah. That pig is really annoying." "Yeah. Let's not bother with the annoyance. Let's go eat." Branden led Catherine away, leaving Edson writhing in pain on the ground.
Edson woke up in the hospital, having just undergone orthopedic surgery.
His palm had fractures that needed repairing, and Catherine's punch had dislocated his jaw, knocking out two teeth in the process.
The doctor informed him that, for the sake of his health, he needed to stay in the hospital for another week. Edson, of course, couldn't afford to stay in the hospital for a week. This was the opportune moment for him to attack Branden and bankrupt the Duncan Corporation; he couldn't miss it.
Edson called his assistant, demanding to be discharged. He knew Catherine wouldn't be persuaded now. The only thing he could do was make Catherine willingly cback with him.

Seeing Edson's battered appearance, the assistant, somewhat distressed, said, "Boss rest well. Leave the rest to me; I'll take down the Duncans and avenge you." Their plan was already in motion. Without financial backing, the Duncan Corporation couldn't compete with them.
Both families were competing for the sproject, and now the Duncan Corporation's reputation was worse than theirs The crucial point was En that Branden's funding had issues, making it impossible for the Duncan Corporation to secure such a significant project. Edson understood all of this when the assistant said so.
Edson's phone suddenly rang as they discussed how to make Branden suffer.
The caller was the head of the Breen Group in Eskana. Edson initially thought it was a work update, but after listening to the call, he fainted. He never expected to lose. "How could this be? What went wrong in the process?" he thought. X
