All Her Secrets

Chapter 908 Intuition

Zobber has been repeatedly watching the video from that evening. Catherine's cruelty was truly impressive, even for someone like Zobber, who was accustomed to dealing with tough situations. Just thinking about Catherine's gaze in the video made her feel uneasy.

Back then, Catherine was just a child, and if she was that formidable then, it was hard to imagine her strength now.

Zobber wasn't watching the video to marvel at Catherine's capabilities, but to uncover the mastermind behind it and help Catherine resolve the situation.

Seeing Withal casually scrolling through his phone, Zobber became annoyed and kicked him in frustration. "Can't you do something useful? Why are you acting like it's no big deal?"

Withal slowly raised his head, as if moving in slow motion. "Even Catherine can't figure it out. Why do you think I can? You're overestimating me."

Zobber retorted, "Just because you can't find anything doesn't mean you won't do anything! When did you become so useless?" Withal, patient as ever, let her vent her anger on him without saying a word.

Zobber pondered for a while and boldly speculated, "Withal, do you think this might have something to do with Ronin? He's betrayed us before. Maybe he will do it again."

While others might not have recognized it, those familiar with Ronin could tell that the little boy cowering in the corner, almost passing out, was Ronin. These videos were highly secretive and unlikely to have been released by the organization, as they weren't at the point of exposing their secrets. If the investigation were to continue, it would likely be most detrimental to the organization, considering the lives they've taken.

The only remaining individuals who knew the truth were Catherine and Ronin, and Ronin was most likely to have obtained the video footage.

"No way!" Withal immediately denied Zobber's speculation, leaving her somewhat skeptical. She scrutinized him keenly, trying to discern anything wrong.

"Why are you so sure that Ronin wouldn't do it?" she asked.

With a mysterious smile, Withal looked at Zobber and whispered, "Intuition!"

Zobber felt like knocking some sense into him, and seeing her anger, Withal explained, "It's simple logic. Ronin is involved. If we investigate, he can't escape. If Catherine can't get away, Ronin would be the next to be caught. Even if he's foolish, he wouldn't put himself in that position."

After considering this, Zobber found it reasonable. "So, who could be behind this? They not only have to be skilled but also have an in-depth understanding of Catherine. The scope is narrow, and it's frustrating that we still can't figure it out!"Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Withal comforted her, "Don't rush. We'll take our time to figure it out."

Frustrated by Withal's nonchalant attitude, Zobber stormed off, venting in her room.

Shortly after returning to her apartment, Catherine received a call from Cloude. "Miss Swann, are you planning to break your promise?"

Catherine chuckled and casually asked, "Have I broken it, Mr. Cloude? Did I refuse to cooperate with you or change the profit sharing ratio, making you feel like I broke my promise?"

Catherine indeed hadn't violated their cooperation and hadn't altered any terms. She had simply spoken a bit more at the Duncan Corporation's press conference, prompting Cloude to handle the aftermath, which didn't constitute a breach of promise.

Cloude was furious when he realized he had been fooled, but he had no way to deal with Catherine. "Miss Swann, the Duncan Corporation has already announced the release of the seventh-generation chip. Do you think our cooperation still makes sense?" Cloude asked.

"If you want to cancel our cooperation, I agree anytime," Catherine replied nonchalantly.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Cloude couldn't help but speculate. He even suspected that Branden and Catherine had conspired to trap him, as Catherine had transferred her research results to the Duncan Corporation, allowing them to develop the chip so quickly.

As if she had read his mind, Catherine said, "Do you think I teamed up with the Duncan Corporation to deceive you? Well, the Duncan Corporation has nothing to do with me. Although our researches are similar, we work in different labs."

If someone else had said this, Cloude wouldn't have believed it, but Catherine was different. He knew she never lied.

"Are you not worried that once the Duncan Corporation's chip hits the market, your research will become worthless?" Cloude

asked.

"Will it?" Catherine replied coldly. "That depends on their successful development."

Cloude quickly asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Figure it out for yourself," Catherine said before hanging up. As for what Cloude could uncover, that was up to his abilities.

After hanging up the phone, Catherine emerged from the bedroom and found two people sitting in the living room. The atmosphere was particularly strange. Branden was seated on one end, and Ronin was across from him, but they didn't exchange a word.

Seeing Catherine, Ronin immediately stood up with joy. "Catherine, are you done with your tasks?" he asked.

Catherine inquired, "Why are you here?"

In Catherine's presence, Ronin instinctively softened his demeanor, transforming into an adorable little boy. "I happened to be passing by and realized I hadn't seen you in a while, so I came up to check on you," he explained.

In reality, Ronin had seen the news and was worried about Catherine, so he rushed over, even though he knew she would be fine.

Knowing that Ronin had something to discuss with Catherine, Branden stood up. "You two talk. I'll go to the study to handle some work," he said.

Once Branden left, Ronin felt more relaxed. He approached Catherine and lowered his voice, saying, "Boss, I think the journalist was definitely arranged by those people. They pretend to talk about cooperation with you, but they also want to set you up. It's too devious."

Catherine responded, "Devious? That's not something surprising,"

Ronin nodded in agreement. "Catherine, what should we do next? We can't keep being chased by them forever. We have to do something," he suggested.

Ronin had been feeling quite frustrated recently, waiting for the right moment to retaliate.

Catherine blinked and said, "When have you ever seen me bullied?"

Understanding Catherine's meaning instantly, Ronin exclaimed, "Catherine, I'll be waiting for your good news!"
