All Her Secrets

Chapter 753 Surprise

After discussing, they decided that they would go to Alton together.

They had just come out of the villa, and the door behind them hadn’t even closed when several black cars suddenly surged and rushed in front of them.

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed. The few people’s faces darkened, and their eyes became much more sharp in an instant.

Soon afterward, they quickly reacted and took on a defensive stance, ready for battle at any moment.

The front passenger door of the lead vehicle was opened, and Paxton quickly got out of the car, approaching the group of people. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Upon seeing the visitor was Paxton, they inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it might have been the enemies coming to their door.

Ronin glanced at Zobber, and Zobber took the initiative to step forward, raising her eyebrows and appraising Paxton. “What’s the meaning of this? Are you ready to spar with us?”

Paxton gave a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes. “Please don’t misunderstand. We are all on the same side. Mr. Branden Duncan has some questions he would like to understand.”

Everyone was well aware, whether it was to understand the issue or a subtle manipulation.

By taking such a stance, Branden didn’t intend to let them leave.

Zobber had no intention of resisting. This was Loxton, the power base of the Duncans. Even if they resisted, it would be futile, not to mention that Branden would not lay a hand on them.

Zobber followed Paxton to see Branden. Branden’s face was extremely grim, emitting a terrifying aura. Even Zobber, who was never afraid of anything, couldn’t help but feel a palpitation.

Branden sat in the armchair, his long arms hanging over the armrest, fingers fidgeting with a lighter.

He was a man who usually didn’t show his emotions on his face. However, anyone could see his impatience at a glance right now.

Zobber originally planned to negotiate a bit, but unexpectedly, Branden didn’t give them the opportunity at all. He even directly challenged. “You tell me, or should I make the move?”

With his posture set up, even Zobber must concede. “Mr. Duncan, it’s not a matter of whether we want to say it or not, but rather that we also don’t know the situation. We are planning to do some thorough investigation to see if we can find any information.”

Zobber gave in, and Ronin followed closely behind. “Yes, even I wasn’t informed by Catherine this time. It’s truly outrageous.”

After repeated questioning, Zobber and her team spent a lot of effort convincing Branden that they were not lying.

They were also anxious, as they really didn’t know where Catherine had gone.

After a lot of searching, there was no clue at all. Everyone found that the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to a freezing point, making them shiver from the cold.

The silent Withal finally couldn’t help but stand up and say, “Mr. Duncan, there is something I would like to ask you.”

Ronin had been with Withal for many years and instantly guessed what Withal was thinking. He wanted to stop Withal but was instantly pinned down by Paxton.

Withal turned his head and smiled at Ronin. “We’re all family. After all, the truth will ultimately come to light.”

Ronin was unwaveringly loyal to Catherine, and in his world, there was no right or wrong in her decisions.

He would unconditionally obey anything Catherine did.

Paxton’s threat didn’t scare Ronin, but he didn’t attempt to stop Ronin again because he felt that Withal’s words were not wrong.

Withal had been by Catherine’s side the longest, and Branden’s feelings toward Catherine were clear to him.

Withal used to think that there was no man in this world who could match up to Catherine until the appearance of Branden made him change his mind. ” Mr. Duncan, what is the task for which you have placed an exorbitant order with the Hacker Alliance?”

Branden understood that Withal would not have said this without reason. He did not conceal it and directly told everyone the purpose of finding the Hacker Alliance. “Find someone in Florona.”

“Florona!” exclaimed Ronin.

He hadn’t forgotten the high price they paid when Catherine came out of Florona.

Paxton was a bit puzzled about Ronin’s surprise. “Why are you all so surprised?

Ronin was so angry that he rolled his eyes at Paxton and said, “You specifically requested the chief of the Hacker Alliance to take the job. Do you even know who the chief of the Hacker Alliance is?”

Hearing Ronin’s angry tone, Paxton felt a sudden sense of unease. “Could it be Miss Swann?”

The silence of the crowd spoke volumes. Paxton felt as though his heart was about to stop beating. ‘Who would have thought that Miss Swann is actually the chief of the Hacker Alliance? I sincerely feel like kneeling for her. How many identities does Catherine have that we don’t know about? She is truly powerful.’

After hearing the news, Branden stood up immediately.

Upon seeing Branden leave, Paxton hurriedly caught up with him.

Ronin turned to look at the others and asked, “They left. What should we do?”

“What else can we do? Let’s go together!” Withal said, then chased after the others.

Half an hour later, everyone boarded Branden’s private plane.

Branden was aware of Catherine’s association with the Hacker Alliance, but he did not expect her to be the chief of the Hacker Alliance.

If he knew, under no circumstances would he allow Catherine to take this risk. At this moment, he really wished to grab that disobedient girl and bring her back to educate her in bed properly.

Zobber saw that the atmosphere inside the airplane was too gloomy, so she decided to find some topics to lighten the mood. “Mr. Duncan, we are not aware of Florona’s specific coordinates. Only Catherine knows that. However, from what we understand, one must first make a trip to Snake Island in order to reach Florona.”

Originally, Catherine asked Connie to develop serums and snake repellent in order to survive on Snake Island. They only then realized that they needed to pass through Snake Island to get to Florona.

Branden glanced at Paxton, and Paxton immediately responded, “Sir, I will make the arrangements.”

On Snake Island, Wantel held a compressed biscuit, nibbling on it while observing the surrounding restless, poisonous snakes.

He felt that these venomous snakes were becoming increasingly drawn to him, with several even lingering in one place for a long time, just waiting for the right opportunity to strike. This made him feel extremely uneasy for a while.

Perhaps he was too nervous, to the point of even experiencing hallucinations, as he actually heard the roar of an airplane.

“This sound is too real!” Wantel couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

The sound continued to grow louder as if the distance was getting closer and closer.

He instinctively felt that something was wrong. “Could there really be someone coming to the island?” he wondered.

After putting on the protective clothing and taking the snake-repelling stick, Wantel prepared to go out and take a look.

Following the direction of the sound, he actually saw a helicopter.

The situation was unclear. Wantel dared not make any moves. He was hiding in the bushes, waiting for the right moment.

The plane landed steadily, and the cabin door was also opened by some burly men who then came down from the plane.

Wantel didn’t know how this group came to Snake Island or their purpose for coming here. He dared not act rashly.

Just as he was full of doubt, he suddenly saw a few familiar figures, which almost made him exclaim in surprise. ‘

How did they come?’

Without hesitation, Wantel rushed out immediately when he saw his good friends.

He greeted them with a look of surprise on his face and exclaimed, “Oh my, how come you guys are here?”

Unexpectedly, what he got in return was a beating, causing him to scream in pain.
