All Her Secrets

Chapter 834 Winston’s Biggest Weakness

Ronin grabbed Flash’s collar, glaring at him angrily. “I said, don’t touch Professor Warner, and I mean it!”

The atmosphere in the room became tense in an instant. Despite Ronin’s anger, Flash, remained composed, pressing on, “Give me a reason!”

This was Flash’s territory; Ronin was merely a prisoner in captivity. The only reason Flash hadn’t laid hands on Ronin was because Ronin had some use left. But that didn’t mean Ronin could do as he pleased. Once Flash found Ronin’s value insufficient, he would get rid of Ronin.

Ronin gritted his teeth and glared at Flash, but he didn’t voice his reason.

Flash didn’t press him further. Instead, he stood up, preparing to leave. ”

Ronin, you may have been enjoying yourself these days, but don’t forget your current situation. Who we target is not for you to decide!”

Faced with Flash’s threat, Ronin retorted, “Even if you capture Professor Warner, you won’t be able to access the core data if I don’t cooperate.

Winston was an expert, but he couldn’t crack Catherine’s security system. The only person in the world who could do that was Ronin, because he was personally trained by Catherine.

Flash coldly stared at Ronin, his gaze conveying a silent challenge.

Ronin chose to give in. He had to submit for the sake of Winston. “You want to know the reason? Fine, I’ll tell you,” he said, causing Flash to give up on leaving. Flash sat back down, looking at Ronin expressionlessly, waiting for the explanation.

“Professor Warner is my mentor; he has been very good to me,” Ronin stated.

“Catherine treats you even better,” Flash retorted, thinking it was a pure excuse.

Ronin lifted his head angrily. “You’re right. No one is more important to me than Catherine. My betrayal only caused her to lose an experimental project. Even if it’s important, it’s just an experiment after all. You don’t understand how amazing she is. I believe she will soon solve the problem. But Professor Warner is different. If you capture him, he will die! He’s the ‘kind of person who would rather die than submit. That’s my reason,” Ronin said with utmost seriousness, looking at Flash.

After a few seconds of silence, Flash got up and left. This time, Ronin didn’t stop him, waiting until Flash was completely gone before returning to his previous state and continuing to have a barbecue.

Night fell. Winston, who was sound asleep, was suddenly awakened by a phone call. He glanced at the caller ID, got up to answer the phone, then tiptoed out of bed and opened the front door. He frowned when he saw the person outside. “Why did you call me in the middle of the night? Do you have something important to tell me?” he asked with a grave expression.

The next moment, a shadow fell over him. Winston immediately went limp and passed out.

A few seconds later, the door of the Wales residence was closed, and everything seemed to return to its previous calm state. Everything remained silent as if nothing had ever happened.

Catherine got up early the next day and headed to the lab. The certification deadline was approaching. If it hadn’t been for Branden’s insistence, she would have slept in the laboratory recently.

Seeing Marshall furrowing his brow and busy with work, Catherine stepped forward to offer her help. “Is it a busy day today?” she asked.

Upon hearing Catherine’s question, Marshall turned around and frowned at her. “It’s all because of Winston. I told him to exercise more regularly, but he wouldn’t listen. He fell ill last night and took a few days off. Now, all his work has been given to me.”

Despite the seemingly complaining tone, there was also a hint of concern in Marshall’s voice. He knew Winston’s personality well. If Winston hadn’t been seriously ill, he wouldn’t have left his work to Marshall. Marshall behaved as if he was complaining, but in fact, he was just doing this to console himself.

“I’ll help you,” Catherine offered.

Marshall refused her. “No need. I’ve got this. I’ve organized the work, and I’ll call a few students to help. You can just go do your thing.”

Marshall’s attitude was firm. Catherine didn’t insist, returning to the lab alone. As soon as she arrived, she received a call from Zobber.

“Catherine, I’ve received some news. The Duncan Corporation intends to collaborate with the Breens to develop a project. Today is the signing ceremony, and it’s happening in Casier!

Catherine listened expressionlessly and coldly replied, “Got it,” before hanging up and continuing with her experiments, completely focused as if nothing could affect her.

Soon, the person responsible for monitoring Catherine reported the situation to Flash. Flash had planted his spy in Catherine’s lab. While they couldn’t access her exclusive laboratory, they could track her movements within the laboratory building.

Flash immediately reported it to his immediate superior.

“Are you sure Catherine had no reaction after receiving the news from ‘Zobber?” the superior asked.

“Yes, I’m one hundred percent sure,” Flash affirmed.

The superior’s eyes slightly narrowed. He didn’t believe Catherine would act recklessly due to emotions. Her calm demeanor only indicated the seriousness of the situation. Perhaps they could intensify the situation by turning her against Branden. After all, the worst thing between lovers was suspicion. Once it appeared, it wouldn’t go so easily.

“Keep an eye on her. And how is Professor Warner?”NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

“We have Professor Warner under control, but he’s stubborn. Even when we threatened him with his wife, he didn’t budge,” Flash reported with frustration. Winston was proving more difficult to intimidate than he had anticipated.

The superior, upon hearing Flash’s report, showed no anger. He looked at Flash with a mocking gaze. “If using his wife to threaten him didn’t work, you can try someone else. Do I have to teach you that?”

Seeing the sinister look in his superior’s eyes, Flash understood something. “Sir, are you referring to Ronin Oconnor?”

The man in black waved Flash off, not answering the question.

People like Winston valued their experiments more than their lives. They were proud and resilient, and these tactics wouldn’t work on them. They disregarded their own lives because they thought their ideals and beliefs were more important. However, they were not without weaknesses- their responsibilities as teachers.

Ronin, Winston’s favorite student, was Winston’s biggest weakness. Utilized correctly, Ronin’s identity could serve as a mutual restraint, because Ronin cared about Winston just as Winston cared about him.
