All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 118 Do You Know Him?
Catherine looked up, immediately recognizing Ronin standing on the podium. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, making everyone
think that she would teach Ronin a lesson.
However, she was just secretly complaining that Ronin’s costume was so ugly. She wondered what Ronin was thinking. Why
would he dress up like that at school? Did he think he was cosplaying or something?
Ronin looked at Catherine as she looked over, and his eyebrows furrowed. He felt uneasy, unsure if Catherine was angry
because he acted without permission. Catherine’s rosy lips slightly parted as she spoke in a cold voice.
“Sit down!”
She pointed to the seat next to her in the adiacent aisle. Ronin glanced at it. Although it wasn’t Catherine’s desk, the distance
wasn’t that far, so it could be considered sitting next to her. Out of respect for Catherine, he decided not to argue with Bryan.
Ronin happily said, “Okay!”
Then, he slung his backpack and happily skipped over to the seat. The crisis was averted. The homeroom teacher breathed a
sigh of relief, intensely appreciating Catherine’s initiative to speak up and help maintain class unity.
Although Catherine appeared to have a cold personality, she had a warm heart. She just lent a hand at the right time.
Bryan looked at Ronin, smiling at Catherine. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable. He had a feeling that Ronin was trying to
steal his throne, and his position was insecure.
Ever since Ronin appeared, Bryan had inexplicably developed a sense of hostility towards him. There were no accidents during
class. But as soon as the dismissal bell rang and the homeroom teacher left, the atmosphere in Class 8 changed.
The originally quiet Class 8 became even quieter during dismissal. Suddenly, Bryan stood up. Students present could all feel the
atmosphere was thick with tension. The few people who usually followed Bryan gathered around him.
To avoid disturbing Catherine’s rest, Bryan circled around and walked to the middle of the aisle, lowering his head to scrutinize
Ronin.
Ronin, who had always been obedient and studious stood un directly With one hand in his pocket, he looked at Bryan
contemptuously. There was a hint of provocation in Ronin’s eyes behind the black-frame glasses. Ronin did have the guts to

provoke Bryan, which was truly admirable to everyone.
As their eyes met, Bryan felt a strong sense of aggression emanating from Ronin. A mischievous smile curled on Bryan’s face.
He realized that Ronin was not as ordinary as he seemed.
After exchanging glances, they reached a consensus. Bryan said first, “My boss is sleeping. Let’s go outside and talk!”
The meaning behind the word “talk” was profound. When Ronin heard Bryan refer to Catherine as his boss, his mocking smile
instantly faded.
By trying to compete for Catherine’s favor, Bryan’s ignorant attitude obviously crossed Ronin’s bottom line. Ronin clenched his
teeth and coldly responded, “I was thinking the same thing!”
Then, Ronin followed Bryan out of the classroom. Before leaving, Bryan instructed David and the others not to follow.
David and other students expressed concern about potential trouble. They weren’t worried about Bryan getting into trouble; they
knew his skills well.
However, they thought the newcomer, Ronin, was dangerous. He was so academically talented that he must be the principal’s
favorite. What if he got injured?
After much hesitation, David summoned his courage and approached Catherine.
“Catherine, wake up!”
Catherine heard the voice and slowly raised her head, her eyelids slightly lifted. A cold light gleamed in her drowsy eyes as she
looked in David’s direction.
That gaze nearly scared David to death. He quickly explained, “Catherine, please don’t get angry with me. I have something
important to report.”
“Go on!” These two cold words clearly showed Catherine’s attitude. David briefly explained what happened to Bryan and Ronin,
along with his concerns. Catherine glanced at Ronin’s seat, which was empty. She nodded and replied with a single word.
“Okay!”
Then she lowered her head again. It wasn’t that Catherine didn’t care about Ronin. He had been trained for a long time under
her guidance, likely on par with Bryan.

Young people had hot tempers and good physical strength, so occasional venting could be helpful. Seeing that Catherine didn’t
intervene, David and the others dared not ask further. Everyone waited anxiously for the two to return.
The two people who had just stepped out for a “talk” returned the moment the bell rang. All eyes were on them. Seeing that
Bryan and Ronin were dressed neatly, everyone was even more confused.
David carefully observed Ronin and felt conflicted. Could it be that Bryan was really just talking to Ronin? When had Bryan
become so gentle?
After the two returned, Catherine woke up. Her cold gaze swept over both of them, and she came to a conclusion. It seemed that
the two were indeed evenly matched in strength. However, from Bryan’s seating posture, it was evident that Ronin had a slight
advantage.
Ronin had been fighting on the streets since he was young. Although his strength and skills were lacking, he was cunning
enough. An ordinary person couldn’t take advantage of him.
After Ronin sat down, he noticed that Catherine was awake and quickly smiled at her in an attempt to please her.
“Boss!” Everyone was shocked, wondering if Ronin had a close relationship with Catherine. Catherine glanced at him and coldly
said, “It’s time for class!”
Ronin wasn’t upset by Catherine’s coldness. On the contrary, he felt happy that she spoke to him.
“Okay, Boss, don’t worry. I’ll pay attention in class!” Bryan secretly rubbed his leg in pain, venting his frustration internally. He felt
particularly annoyed after seeing Ronin trying to please Catherine. “You little brat,” he thought, “I’ll never let you take advantage
of my boss!”
Bryan looked at Catherine with a pitiful expression and asked, “Boss, do you know this guy?” Catherine nodded but didn’t speak.
Upon hearing Bryan’s question, Ronin raised an eyebrow at him. Then, he flashed a provocative smile that could drive Bryan
crazy. “Boss has known me for much longer, you know!”
“You goddamn...” Bryan couldn’t stand it, and they were about to argue. Hearing footsteps approaching, Catherine knew that the
teacher was about to arrive. Her face immediately darkened as she coldly said, “Time for class, understood?”

Bryan and Ronin immediately shut up, knowing personal grievances could be resolved anytime. The top priority at the moment
was not to anger their boss.
Bryan and Ronin were about to fight to the death. However, their anger instantly subsided with just a few simple words from
Catherine.
The classmates who were ready to watch the show were left dumbfounded. Indeed, Catherine was formidable. She was the true
boss here!
