All Her Secrets by Chestnut

“Mr. Duncan, although Catherine doesn’t have any interest in Grayson, he is quite persistent. I suggest you be prepared!”

Branden raised his head, his icy gaze falling on Triston’s face.

“Is that all?”

Triston was comparing him to Grayson. Was it because Triston thought highly of Grayson or looked down on him?

This single glance made Triston panic. Triston swallowed nervously, his expression suddenly tense. He said slowly, “Mr. Duncan, I believe Grayson has some ulterior motive. He is doing well in the entertainment industry, and he even has a stake in his current talent agency. Also, he enjoys making investments and has made quite a fortune over the years. Most importantly, I suspect he has connections with the Hacker Alliance!”

The mention of the Hacker Alliance caught Branden’s attention. His eyes narrowed instantly.

“Are you sure?”

Triston felt uneasy under the cold tone but cautiously nodded. “Yes, six months ago, Grayson and Raymond were planning to collaborate on a multinational project in the lawless Middle Estria. They offended the local reactionary forces and almost caused a major incident. Later, Raymond said that Grayson had enlisted the help of the Hacker Alliance to resolve the situation.”

Raymond was Triston’s cousin, and Branden happened to know him.

If what Raymond said was true, then Grayson must have some connection with the Hacker Alliance. The nature of that relationship still needed to be investigated.

Branden turned his head to look at Paxton, who immediately nodded respectfully and responded, “Yes, sir, I will investigate right away.”

As Paxton was about to leave, Branden stopped him. He glanced in Triston’s direction and said, “Take him with you!”

This time, Triston obediently followed along, Once they were out of the office, Triston finally let out his frustration and started venting.

“Paxton, what’s wrong with your boss? I kindly brought him the information, and he didn’t even offer me a glass of water. He just kicked me out like this! Are we still friends?”

Paxton rolled his eyes at him without saying a word. Triston continued, “Why is he so ungrateful? How can he be so ruthless to me?”

“You asked for it.” Paxton bluntly pointed out without any mercy. Triston was so infuriated that he almost fainted on the spot.

What on earth was going on here?
