All Her Secrets

Chapter 321 Just a Deal

The Winfreds were a prestigious family in Oceanvile. Oceanvile was renowned alongside Casier, and if Casier were considered the aristocracy, then Oceanvile would be a rising star.

The Winfreds were involved in the mining business and made a fortune in previous years. Although they had a tough time in recent years, they had a solid financial foundation.

A few months ago, they acquired a rare mine in South Apridon, which attracted envy from the whole industry.

Now, they unexpectedly let go of this lucrative opportunity for the sake of an illegitimate child, which was a generous act.

It was no wonder Sean didn’t value family ties. The Scotts also used to be a prestigious family, and there was a lot of scheming and deceit among the wealthy. He had seen it all. When it came to profit, parents and siblings were all considered trivial matters.

“Cassie, is this a trap?”

Catherine always thought Sean was reliable in his actions, and indeed he was. He never did anything without certainty.

People thought that Sean was reckless, heartless, and did whatever he wanted. But they didn’t know he was discreet, leaving no detail unattended!

Catherine understood Sean’s meaning, and compared to his worries, she seemed much calmer. “No. That mine is too rare. Even if the Winfreds choose to keep it, they won’t be able to benefit from it. The Winfreds are facing financial difficulties, and although they have handed over the mining rights, the rest will still belong to the Winfreds three years from now!”

Sean had heard about that mine, and it was said to have a considerable reserve.

At present, it was only in the exploration phase. It would take at least a year or two before actual mining could commence. The Winfreds had granted a three-year window for these mining rights.

In reality, only one year of the mining rights was available. After three years, they would take it back. By then, they would get pure profit.

Xavier was truly cunning. Sean thought of something else and quickly reminded Catherine, “Cassie, I heard that the Duncans are also eyeing that mine. The Duncans are like fierce tigers. It won’t be good if they set their sights on it!”

“The Duncans…” Catherine muttered softly. Her neat bangs partially covered her starry eyes, a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth. “Do they want it?”

Sean didn’t understand what Catherine meant by this, and he felt that something was off about her.

“Anyway, be more cautious, Cassie. The Duncans are powerful. We should avoid them!”

Catherine didn’t respond to him, and the smile in her eyes grew wicked. Half an hour later, Ronin arrived on time with Erick. After changing his new clothes, Erick looked completely different.

Living in the black market for years had drained some color from his originally fair skin. The pale-skinned teenager possessed an exquisite appearance, and his slightly upturned eyes were filled with a captivating aura.

His cold temperament perfectly embodied the image of a mysterious young man. Even Sean couldn’t help but compliment, “This kid looks even more delicious in new clothes!”

In the next second, Ronin retorted.

“I chose this outfit for him, you know? By the way, Sean, you are such a sick pervert. What kind of adjective are you using? Delicious? You’re so disgusting!”

Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Catherine shook her head helplessly, stood up, and coldly uttered one word, “Hungry!”

After saying that, she walked away quickly, and the two promptly followed, forgetting about their argument.

Erick stood still, looking down at his new attire, furrowing his eyebrows. In his mind, he replayed Catherine’s expression just now.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Is it not good-looking?” he wondered.

“Why didn’t she compliment me?

Ronin chose the restaurant for dinner. Unsurprisingly, it was a barbecue restaurant. By the time they reached the entrance, Ronin and Sean had already rushed in while Erick hesitated at the door.

Catherine, who was walking at the back, noticed Erick’s hesitation and cast a cold gaze at him.

“Aren’t you coming with us?”

Erick hesitated momentarily, lowered his head with a hint of shyness, and softly asked, “Can I come in, too?”

“Of course!” Catherine replied without hesitation. “Why would I bring you here if not?”

Catherine had said what needed to be said. Whether he entered or not was up to him! Seeing Catherine had already left, Erick immediately followed suit.

This was Erick’s first time dining with others at the same table. When he was with Killian, Killian would occasionally take him out to eat after winning a match, but he always stood at the door, waiting for leftovers.

He could choose not to eat, but the result would be hunger. Ronin diligently helped Catherine with everything, cutting meat for her and putting it on her plate.

Seeing this, Sean couldn’t help but tease Ronin. “Why don’t you just feed it to Catherine’s mouth so she doesn’t even have to lift a finger!”

Ronin knew Sean was teasing him, but he wasn’t angry. Instead, he confidently responded to Sean, “If Catherine is willing, I’ll do that for her!

Sean couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Unbelievable!

Had he not been aware of Ronin’s admiration for Catherine, he might have suspected that Ronin had feelings for her.

Erick quietly ate his food, silently observing the movements of the people around him. In his slightly squinted eyes, there was envy. He believed that one day, he would also be able to sit by Catherine’s side and prepare everything she liked.

Catherine had agreed to meet the Winfreds at 8 p.m. After finishing the barbecue, Ronin drove them to the Winfreds’.

Sean thought he shouldn’t go there, so only the three of them went. Once they got in the car, Catherine leaned on the backseat and closed her eyes to rest. Erick sat silently beside her while Ronin, the chatterbox, drove in boredom.

Although Ronin focused on driving, his eyes never left Catherine for a moment. With a stranger in the car, he didn’t trust anyone except Catherine. He had to keep a close eye on this “Tyler” to prevent any accidents from happening.

After a while, Ronin couldn’t help but ask Erick when he noticed that Erick hadn’t said a word.

“Aren’t you worried that we might sell you?”

Hearing this, Erick slowly lifted his head. His eyes emitted a faint green light in the dim car, cold and eerie.

“She has the right to.”

The “she” he referred to was Catherine.

Ronin couldn’t help but praise Erick, ” Kid, you’ve got some guts. Don’t worry. Catherine isn’t a bad person. We made a deal with the Winfreds. You can return to your home once we get what we want. It’s better to live with the Winfreds than to follow Killian in the black market.”

“Is that so?” Erick said in a cold voice. Ronin drove through the green light, not noticing Erick’s faint smile and the killing intent in his eyes!
