Chapter 614 Disguise
In the shadows, the assistant knocked on Edson’s door and entered upon receiving permission. The room was in chaos, filled with champagne and swirling smoke.
Two gracefully shaped, provocatively dressed blondes were currently entwined around Edson, who sat calmly in the center, holding a cigar.
Amidst the smoke, his already somber face appeared even colder, making it impossible to discern his current mood.
The blondes obediently stepped aside when the assistant entered. The assistant approached and handed over the collected information. “Boss, here are the things you wanted.”
Edson glanced around. Then, the two blonde women wiggled their hips and gracefully left the room.
To the outside world, Edson seemed like a debauched, extravagant playboy. Only his assistant, who had been with him since childhood and considered his right-hand man, knew Edson’s true nature.
Beneath the facade of recklessness, Edson was extremely cold, cunning, and intelligent. Within the Breens, aside from the current head, Shane, no one was more formidable than Edson. His playful appearance was just a disguise.
Hidden behind this layer of disguise, Edson demonstrated his genius tactics, gradually bringing the Breens under his control.
His ruthlessness terrified others, but few people knew this because those who witnessed his methods were almost all silenced.
The only exception was Shane’s adopted daughter and, at the same time, Edson’s fiancée. Edson looked at the documents, somewhat surprised by the information on the man presented.
He had heard that the current heir of the Duncans was a rare business genius and was outstanding, but Edson didn’t expect him to be this exceptional.
The Duncans were not only wealthy but also held unparalleled power in Eskana.
The assistant explained in a hushed tone, “Boss, this is the information we could find now. I believe there is much more hidden. The Duncans’ strength is much greater than we imagined.”
Moreover, they were in Eskana, the Duncans’ territory. Trying to understand the Duncans’ influence was unimaginably difficult.
“Boss, Mr. Shane instructed us to avoid conflicts with the Duncans as much as possible,” added the assistant.
Edson took a deep breath, squinting at the photo in the documents.
“Did Catherine think she could escape me by dating the heir of the Duncans? No way! As long as I’m alive, Catherine has to be my fiancée,” he said inwardly.
He believed he and Catherine were destined to be together, and only he was worthy of her.
“Where is Cassie now? Styre University?
“he asked.
When Edson asked, the assistant lowered his head slightly and explained the situation.
“Boss, according to our intelligence, Miss Swann is not at school but in an apartment near the university, and the owner of that apartment is Branden.”
Edson frowned, and his gaze instantly became sharp. “Living together?” he thought and smashed the glass in his hand against the wall.
“Bang!”
With a resounding crash, the glass shattered into pieces. The assistant stood silently on the side, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Edson gritted his teeth and murmured in a cold voice, “Cassie, you’re getting bolder.”
The atmosphere in the room tensed suddenly, and nobody dared to provoke Edson now. After a long silence, Edson finally spoke. He instructed his assistant on the side, “Have someone send a gift to Cassie.”
