All Her Secrets

Chapter 827 He Only Wants Money

Catherine’s mind was now full of the information she had just checked. She knew Branden was hiding some forces, but she had never arranged for anyone to check it out.

When she once hid her multiple identities from Branden, Branden hadn’t arranged for anyone to check it out either.

But she didn’t realize Branden actually had so many forces. It turned out she and Branden had even stood opposite before.

Zobber found out another important piece of information. Just as she was struggling with whether or not to report it to Catherine, Catherine had taken the initiative to ask, “What else did you find out?”

Catherine’s expression made Zobber speak cautiously. “Catherine, I suspect that Mr. Duncan has reconciled with the Breens and that they have a new collaboration.”

Some time ago, the Breens went crazy against the Duncan Corporation.

The two consortiums had fought several times in Casier and Loxton, and the entire business world knew that the two consortiums had fallen out.

The foreign powerful consortium competed against the local consortium, and no one gained an advantage.

The fact that the consortiums, which were originally going to fight fiercely, were now working together sounded very puzzling. But nothing was impossible in the business world.

In a world that only cared about profits, any enemy could become the next object of cooperation. Zobber handed Catherine the evidence she had found out.

If it weren’t for these pieces of evidence in front of Zobber, which showed that many subsidiaries of the Duncan Corporation had already reached cooperation agreements with the Breens’ branch in Eskana, Zobber wouldn’t have believed this to be true.

After all, she couldn’t believe that Branden didn’t know how bad Catherine’s relationship with the Breens was.

“Catherine, maybe there’s some kind of misunderstanding here. Why don’t you arrange for Wantel to check it out again?” Zobber said with some concern.

She didn’t want this incident to affect Catherine’s feelings toward Branden.

She used to think that no man in this world could match the excellent Catherine, a woman who was like a perfect person.

Branden’s presence gave Zobber hope. He and Catherine were equal in strength. They were simply a perfect match.

Most importantly, Branden’s kindness to.Catherine was obvious to everyone. He was so devoted to her even if he was in such a high position, which was rare in the world.

“I will arrange it!” Catherine’s cold words interrupted what Zobber wanted to say next.

Seeing that Catherine had her own arrangements, Zobber was not in a position to intervene more. She just assured Catherine. “Don’t worry, Catherine. I will definitely keep this matter a secret.”

Catherine nodded slightly. She turned off her computer and stood up to leave. “Take care of yourself, and contact me at any time if you’re in danger.”

Coming out of the internet cafe, Catherine went straight back to the lab building without any stops in between.

This made Marshall, who had been staying inside the lab building, unaware that Catherine had left. Seeing Catherine change her clothes and come out of the office, Marshall looked at her with a smile on his face. “You’ve had a long enough lunch break today, but why do you look more tired than if you don’t rest?”

Catherine had been sticking to the lab and refusing to leave, and Marshall was worried that this was not good for her health, so he persuaded her to take lunch breaks at noons.

“It’s fine!” Catherine shook her head relaxed. “I had a terrible dream during my nap. It makes me a little tired, so I slept a little longer.”

When she said this, Marshall felt even more distress for her. “You must have been overtired. People only dream when they’re under a lot of pressure. If you relax, the terrible dreams won’t haunt you.”

“I won’t have terrible dreams if I relax? “Catherine frowned and looked at Marshall with a serious face.

Hearing this, Marshall guessed that she was really disturbed by her dreams and tried to help her.

Catherine was excellent in both talent and ability, but she lacked some knowledge in life. Perhaps this was something geniuses should bear. Geniuses would put most of their energy on the things they focused on, but instead overlooked the details of life.

“That’s right. You’ve been under a lot of pressure lately and your nerves are too tense. Let me teach you a relaxation exercise now. It’s very simple. You practice with me for ten minutes or so now. You’ll sleep better at night.”

Marshall tried to persuade Catherine to learn the relaxation exercise from him and she agreed.

The two of them started to do the relaxation exercise in the open space inside the lab building. Catherine had done similar relaxation exercises before, but she did it in a different way from Marshall.

Marshall did it in a very standard way. He did it gently without exerting too much force.

Catherine, on the other hand, was full of killing intentions in every movement.

Seeing her stiff movements, Marshall acted like a strict teacher. He corrected Catherine’s stance hand by hand. “No, it’s too stiff here. You need to do it softly. I’m making you relax, not making you use so much strength. Are you going to hit someone… Yeah, yeah, that’s right. You need to do it gently.”

It took almost twenty minutes to do the relaxation exercises.

Marshall was drenched in sweat while Catherine didn’t feel anything.

Marshall sighed, “You young people have good physical strength. You need to practice it every morning and night, okay? When you get tired from practicing the relaxation exercises, you will have a good sleep at night. Don’t have any other thoughts while practicing, just empty your mind.”

“Okay, Professor Hartley!” responded Catherine politely.

Marshall patted her on the shoulder and signaled her to go rest. “Alright, go take a break and then get on the experiment.”

Catherine nodded and left while Marshall sighed in place.

Although Catherine didn’t say anything and didn’t look any different on the surface, the look in her eyes showed everything. Marshall could see that Catherine had been a bit preoccupied lately.

He only hoped that Catherine could get out of the predicament as soon as possible and return to her former state.

Flash followed his superior’s instructions and sent the information Ronin stole to his superior’s mailbox. Then he received a new order from his superior and found Ronin.

Seeing Flash appear with his personal computer still in his hand, Ronin instantly understood Flash’s intentions. Ronin narrowed his eyes and sized him up and down with a carefree expression. “You’re really annoying. You don’t even give me a break. I gave you the information just two days ago, but you’re here again.”

Flash didn’t threaten Ronin this time. He just told him the truth. “Catherine will send the lab paper report for certification next Friday.”

At this statement, the expression on Ronin’s face immediately changed.

He knew why Flash was so anxious. If the experiment was successfully certified by Catherine, it would bring endless trouble to Flash and his superior.

Ronin cooperated and said, “Alright, bring the computer.”

Seeing how cooperative he was, Flash was still a bit surprised. He froze for a second before handing over the computer.

At the same time, Ronin made a new request. “I can help you with the information, but I want money.”

Flash thought Ronin would take the opportunity to request to let him leave, but he didn’t realize that Ronin actually only asked for money.

He asked suspiciously, “You only want money?”

“That’s right!” Ronin knew what Flash was thinking. “Do you think I’m stupid because I didn’t ask you to let me go?”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Ronin laughed out coldly, a sneer appearing on his thin lips. “Humph. Even if I requested that, would you guys let me go?”
