Chapter 648 What About Mr. Duncan’s Side?
The assistant rushed into the quiet study, holding the latest intelligence.
Since Edson was abducted and humiliated, the once flamboyant playboy seemed to have planted the seeds of shadow. During this time, he hadn’t been seen enjoying himself.
Finding him became increasingly easy; they just had to enter the study. Edson was reviewing documents, and his eyebrows furrowed when he saw the assistant hurriedly enter.
Seeing the situation, the assistant quickly knelt, cautiously saying, “Boss, I have the latest information to report.”
Edson suppressed his anger; he knew the assistant wouldn’t act so recklessly unless there were an urgent situation.
“What’s the situation?” His deep voice carried a thick sense of dissatisfaction.
The assistant lowered his head and said cautiously, “Boss, we’ve just received the news. The Lamberts and the Lanes are mobilizing a large amount of funds. Moreover, we found out that it was Triston and Aidan who issued the order.

“Good,” Edson replied in a low voice, his mood instantly improving.
During this time, he had been besieging the Duncan Corporation. However, it was as if the Duncan Corporation had countless printing presses; no matter how they attacked, there was no end in sight.
Now, he finally had the opportunity.
The relationship between Triston, Aidan, and Branden was extraordinary. If Branden had an issue, they wouldn’t stand idly by. Behind them were the two prominent families, the Lamberts and the Lanes. This sudden mobilization of funds meant that Branden’s finances were thoroughly depleted.
He knew that with the Duncans alone, competing with such a powerful force was impossible for this long.
The Duncans’ subsequent funds were insufficient, while he still had the powerful backing of the Breens. Edson’s face showed a triumphant look. He had long set up the trap, and now he could finally proceed to the final stage.
“Arrange it. Action can be taken against the Lanes and the Lamberts now,” said Edson.
He had already arranged spies in companies under the Lanes and the Lamberts. Now, he would use these two spies to prevent Branden from accessing the funds of the Lanes and the Lamberts.
This way, with one more push, he could ultimately defeat the Duncans.
The assistant received Edson’s orders and immediately went to arrange things. “Boss, rest assured. I will make sure everything is arranged properly.”
Edson leaned back in his leather chair, and his face, which had been continuously gloomy for many days, finally lit up at that moment. He had said before that Branden was no match for him.
This time, he would make Branden fail completely. After the Duncans were defeated, Branden would be nothing more than a vagabond, and then he would make Branden experience the pain he had inflicted on him, doubled in intensity.
After receiving the notification, Triston immediately called Aidan. “Mr. Lane, how are the preparations on your end?”
A short while later, a weary voice came through the receiver. “Hard to put into words. I’m facing significant resistance here. Someone has already come up with responses in advance; I can’t free up funds to support Mr. Duncan.”
He had genuinely tried his best, exploring every possible solution. He hadn’t expected someone to extend their influence to his family’s company.
If not for this incident, he wouldn’t have known that the Breens had infiltrated so many people into their company, even tampering with critical projects.
After hearing Aidan’s complaints, Triston felt somewhat powerless. “My situation is the same as yours; I can’t free up funds.”
Aidan was shocked; it turned out it wasn’t just the Lanes facing trouble. Now, the situation of both the Lanes and the Lamberts was still manageable. His biggest concern was still the Duncans.
“What about Mr. Duncan’s side?” he asked.
