Chapter 891 Strike Back
Seeing Branden assessing her, Catherine chuckled lightly. “Is there anything wrong with eating lightly? Didn’t you always advise me to eat less heavy food? Have you changed your mind now?”
“Of course not.” Branden wrapped his arm around her waist, his eyes filled with indulgence. He raised his eyebrows, giving Catherine a wink. ” Rest well. I’ll prepare a light supper for you.”
Hearing the sizzling sound of cooking through the phone, Paxton knew that Branden must be preparing a supper for Catherine again. It was truly enviable. There was only one person in the world who could make Branden personally cook and prepare a meal, and that was Catherine.
As Paxton admired Catherine, he quietly reported the situation. He said, ” Mr. Duncan, you’re truly amazing!
After we released the information as you instructed, all sorts of mixed messages flooded the market. Initially, the situation looked unfavorable for us, but unexpectedly, there was a direct reversal. The negative news only fueled the confidence of those shareholders.”
Paxton had originally thought that
releasing both true and false information detrimental to the Duncan Corporation would not only be manipulated by some malicious individuals but would also lead to the loss of trust from the shareholders, causing them to sell off their shares. If it came to that, the Duncan Corporation would be in trouble.
Although filled with worries, Paxton still chose to trust Branden’s strategy. The outcome brought him joy, once again proving how formidable Branden was.
With a sudden surge of too much negative news in the market, it confused everyone, and many suspected that these were intentionally fabricated rumors to frame the Duncan Corporation. Combined with the Duncan Corporation’s resilience over the years, it showed that the foundation of the Duncan Corporation was exceptionally strong. Everyone had great confidence in the future of the Duncan Corporation.
Small shareholders who had previously sold off Duncan Corporation’s shares began buying them back. By the end of the afternoon trading session, the previously declining stock prices were almost back to their previous values, and the market had great confidence in the future of the Duncan Corporation.
“Mr. Duncan, what should we do next?
“Paxton asked.
After being attacked for so long, it was finally time for them to strike back. Paxton couldn’t hold back his eagerness any longer. As soon as Branden gave the command, he would be the first to charge forward.
Branden skillfully stir-fried the vegetables in the pan, ensuring the right level of heat to avoid overcooking them. Catherine didn’t like her vegetables overcooked.
“The backers behind them are the Breens. Since they want to cause trouble in our territory, let’s accommodate their wishes,” Branden said.
Branden’s cold tone sent shivers down Paxton’s spine, even though he wasn’t physically present with Branden. The tension made him involuntarily straighten his back a bit.
“Mr. Duncan, do you intend to…” Paxton didn’t dare to directly ask, but he tried to test the waters.
Branden, understanding his close associate very well, said, “Exactly as you’re thinking. Set it up.”
Hearing Branden’s decision, Paxton grinned with delight. Finally, he had the chance to vent his frustration. “Mr. Duncan, rest assured. I’ll handle this matter perfectly for you. Take care of Miss Swann, and leave the rest to me.”
Branden hung up the phone. He felt that Paxton’s talkativeness had increased since he started spending more time with Zobber. It seemed that Zobber had quite an influence.
