All Her Secrets

Chapter 808 Quarrel Catherine sensed the anger hidden in Branden's eyes, and she knew he was upset.

"I was just next door, and you couldn't even bother to inform me?" said Branden.

Catherine didn't know how to respond. If she wanted to make excuses, she could come up with a flawless one, leaving no room for criticism. However, she didn't want to lie to Branden.

Looking at Catherine, who remained silent, Branden felt a mixture of disappointment and deep concern.

He thought that after all this time, he had successfully entered Catherine's heart. But once again, he was disappointed.

Initially, he planned to turn and leave, leaving her alone to reflect. However, unable to make that decision, he approached and pulled her into his arms.

The moment he embraced Catherine, warmth instantly enveloped her. Her cold heart gradually thawed, and her icy gaze softened.

But the next moment, she heard him whispering in her ear, gritting his teeth. "Catherine, do you even have a heart? Even if your heart is made of stone, it should have warmed up by now. Why are you still unwilling to open up?"All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

His sharp words caused Catherine's recently warmed heart to plunge back into an icy abyss. Catherine pushed Branden away and turned to leave directly.

Branden wanted to catch up but couldn't match Catherine's speed. Catherine disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Branden coming out alone with a gloomy face, Paxton and the others understood that things had taken a serious turn. They were scared stiff, even slowing down their breathing.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Zobber risked danger and said, "Mr. Duncan, actually, it's not Catherine's fault. When I notified her, we were already on the move. You know Catherine. On the surface, she seems cold, but she values relationships a lot. She was just worried about us, so she didn't have time to notify you before coming out. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't be angry with Catherine."

After hearing Zobber's words, Paxton silently applauded her in his mind." She's really bold and daring," he thought.

Branden sneered after hearing, then sat back with his eyes closed, choosing not to speak further.

His anger wasn't directed at Catherine for leaving without notice. He knew Catherine could have informed him in time. She just didn't want to say anything, or perhaps, from the beginning, she never took him seriously.

Zobber was right. Catherine, seemingly cold on the outside, was extremely caring toward those around her, except him.

Seeing his displeasure, Zobber wanted to say a few words to console him but was stopped by Paxton. Couples in love often had zero intelligence.

Now, Branden was in a bad mood, and many things were unclear to him. No matter how others tried to persuade, it wouldn't work.

Paxton was also worried that if Zobber continued to persuade, she might provoke Branden's anger, causing trouble later. Although he thought Zobber was a little annoying, it was no big deal.

Paxton intervened, causing Zobber to swallow the words she was about to say. Just at that moment, a ringing sound interrupted her thoughts. "Withal, how's it going on your end?" she asked.

"Lost them. Are you okay?" Withal replied.

Zobber reported the current situation, and Withal breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where are you? I'll come to find you," said Zobber.

After hanging up the phone, Zobber got Withal's address.

She signaled Paxton to pull over and let her get out, but Paxton disagreed. Where are you going? We'll take you. It's already late at night. Aren't you afraid?"

These words startled both Carlo and Zobber.

Paxton noticed their strange expressions and realized he might have cared too much. He was about to explain when Zobber beat him to it. She said, "With my capabilities, one comes, one goes down. I'm not afraid of anything."

After saying this to Paxton, Zobber informed the driver ahead to stop by the roadside and swiftly exited the car.

Watching Zobber's figure gradually disappear, Paxton withdrew his gaze.

Turning his head, he met Carlo's probing gaze. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Paxton, what do you mean? Why are you suddenly so concerned about Zobber?" Carlo's question carried a hint of ambiguity.

Paxton didn't want to make eye contact; he avoided Carlo's gaze and pretended to be tough, saying, "Anyway, we're sort of friends. Besides, considering her relationship with Miss Swann, I just care a bit more. If something really happens, we'll also be in trouble."

"Humph!" Carlo didn't believe his excuses.

Now that Branden was in the car, he couldn't use harsh methods to force Paxton to confess. He would team up with Francis when he returned and make Paxton spill the beans.

Seeing Carlo not saying anything more, Paxton secretly sighed in relief. He was stunned for a moment when Carlo asked those questions.

He didn't know what was going on with him. He was just subconsciously caring, perhaps as he mentioned, because of Zobber's connection with Catherine.

She was Catherine's person, so there was an added level of concern. If something happened to her, they would inevitably have to help, which would be troublesome for them.

That night, Catherine did not return to the apartment. She went straight back to school and had the people keeping an eye on things report the situation to Branden.

Knowing that she was safe, Branden didn't go looking for Catherine. Perhaps both of them needed some space to calm down.

When Amelia woke up and saw Catherine in the dorm the following day, she was momentarily surprised.

Seeing Catherine resting, she didn't dare to ask and just tugged Isabella's sleeve, asking in a low voice, "Did Super Catherine come back last night?"

Isabella silently nodded. She studied late and happened to witness Catherine returning with a chilly demeanor.

Although she knew Catherine's cold attitude wasn't directed at her, she still felt uneasy mainly buy for long time. It was mainly because Catherine's presence was too intimidating, making her shiver.

"Keep it down. I noticed Super Catherine was not in a good mood last night. She probably fought her boyfriend." Under Amelia's influence, Isabella also changed her way of addressing Catherine.

However, the main reason was Catherine's stunning performance during the competition. She was truly deserving of the title.

Knowing that Catherine had an argument with Branden, Amelia didn't take it too o.seriously. After a who didn't argue in a relationship? When she was with her last boyfriend, they could argue countless times a day.

"Let's be careful. She must be in a bad mood after quarreling with her boyfriend."

They discussed and decided to give Catherine space in the dorm. Isabella chose to go to the library, and Amelia went to the lab.

As soon as they went downstairs, Isabella saw a handsome guy not far away and pulled Amelia to take a look. Amelia's brows furrowed as soon as she saw Rylan. She muttered, "Why is he here?"

"Super Catherine is in a bad mood now. Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?" she thought.
