Squinting, Branden opened the message sent by Paxton.

Casier Real Estate was a subsidiary of the Duncan Corporation, specializing in the real estate business in Casier. It was considered a leading company in the local real estate industry, known for its good reputation and ethical practices. It had gained significant popularity in Casier and was one of the most profitable subsidiaries under the Duncan Corporation.

Just three hours ago, news broke on the internet about an incident at a newly delivered property of Casier Real Estate. During the renovation, a floor collapse resulted in injuries to the workers, causing them to be rushed to the hospital. The news rapidly spread across the internet, reaching the top of the trending hashtags. It sparked intense discussions among netizens, many of whom criticized and condemned Casier Real Estate.

Numerous prominent bloggers and individuals in the real estate industry publicly accused Casier Real Estate. The reports flooded the media, indicating that this was not a simple case of public opinion ferment but rather a manipulated scheme, possibly orchestrated by people with powerful backgrounds aiming to discredit Casier Real Estate. There were even implications of an attempt to drag down the parent company, the Duncan Corporation.

When Paxton learned of the news, he immediately mobilized the public relations department. However, the other party had planned and executed their strategy well, making it difficult to contain the situation even with the public relations department's efforts. After understanding the full extent of the situation, Paxton promptly informed Branden and sought his advice.

Having reviewed all the news, Branden called Paxton through a secure line." Notify all the managers and above from Casier Real Estate to come to my office for a meeting."

"Yes, Boss!" Paxton replied.

Half an hour later, a group of executives assembled in Branden's office. To everyone's surprise, the president was not alone. There was a very attractive young lady accompanying him. It had been rumored that Branden had a girlfriend who had met Karl, and it seemed she was the lady present. The fact that she could stay in the office at such a critical time indicated Branden's affection for her.

Although curious about Catherine, the attendees dared not pay too much attention to her, only stealing glances when they could.

Catherine, however, seemed at ease, sitting relaxed in the armchair, engrossed in the game. Seeing the group of people enter, she whispered to Branden, who was offering her snacks, "You guys have your meeting. I'll have my headphones on, so don't worry. I won't be disturbed.'

Branden gently touched her head, murmuring, "Alright, we'll keep our voices down so as not to disturb your game."

Their private conversation left everyone present dumbfounded.

What was supposed to be a regular meeting turned into a serious one, with everyone involuntarily lowering their voices. Although the situation was urgent, the presence of Branden helped ease the tension among the participants. People began offering suggestions, but Branden didn't find any suitable. He looked at everyone with a cold gaze and asked, “Are these the best solutions you can offer?"

Though his tone was mild, his attitude was serious, causing everyone to become nervous.
