All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 501 Even More Powerful!
After listening to Hayden’s words, Catherine remained calm.
“You’re wrong.” Her voice was calm, devoid of any warmth.
Hayden looked at Catherine with a puzzled expression. “Doctor, what do you mean?”
Catherine bluntly told him, “You’re thanking the wrong person.”
Hearing this, Hayden anxiously interrupted Catherine. “It’s impossible. I couldn’t have remembered wrong. It was you who saved
me back then!”
“It was indeed me, but I didn’t do it to save you.” Catherine’s face remained expressionless, her eyes not even blinking. “The
person who harmed you had a laugh that was too unpleasant.”
That person was a human trafficker in the black market. He enjoyed laughing while dealing with the captive.
Catherine happened to pass by at that time and was extremely disgusted by the laughter. In order to stop the person from
laughing, she released all the kidnapped individuals. This was the only time she intervened in the internal affairs of the black
market. The black market had its own rules, and outsiders were not allowed to interfere.
If it weren’t for Catherine’s good relationship with the Lamberts, it would have been much more difficult.
However, Catherine didn’t expect that her unintentional act would lead to such an outcome.
Hayden was stunned, gazing at Catherine with a dazed expression. He never expected that all these years, it was his own
delusion.
After a while, he snapped out of it. A relieved smile appeared on his face. In fact, there was nothing to be sad about. From the
beginning, it was just his wishful thinking, right?
Regardless of Catherine’s intentions, she saved him.
It was true in the past, and it remained true now.
“Doctor, I still have to thank you!”

Catherine already knew everything she wanted to know. As decent as the dungeon was, it was far inferior to the outside world.
“Don’t forget to pay the reward!” Catherine said, standing up and leaving without even saying goodbye to Hayden.
Hayden stared, mesmerized at Catherine’s departing figure. His only regret was that he had never seen her true face.
He believed that the doctor must be as beautiful as an angel. Catherine walked out of the dungeon. The crisis in the Ravenloth
Palace had been resolved.
As for the fate of Queen Lina and Hayden, it had nothing to do with her. She didn’t care who would win or lose. She just wanted
to complete the tasks she was assigned and receive her rightful reward. She didn’t care about anything else.
Inside the palace of Ravenloth.
The king personally summoned Branden, or rather, he should be said to be seeking an audience with Branden.
The doctor’s assistant had a temper worse than anyone else, and it wasn’t easy to meet him. No one else had this opportunity
except for the doctor.
After the palace attendant pleaded several times, they finally managed to bring this big shot to the palace.
Branden calmly sat in front of the king, elegantly sipping his coffee. The king had been waiting for half a day. He finally couldn’t
hold back any longer, taking the initiative to speak.
“Sir, I heard that you and the doctor are about to leave Ravenloth. Is that correct?”
Branden put down his cup of coffee, slowly raised his head, and his gaze fell calmly on the king.

“Of course. The mission is over.”
“If I plan to continue employing you and have you stay in Ravenloth, what conditions do you want? As long as you are willing to
stay and serve Ravenloth, you can ask for anything,” the king said, his gaze fixed on Branden, not wanting to miss any of his
expressions.
Branden didn’t show him any respect and gave a two-word response.
“Not interested!”
The surrounding servants were shocked to hear Branden publicly refuse the king, their jaws almost dropping.
In Ravenloth, the king was supreme, and anyone who dared to treat the king like this would be sentenced to death.
In their eyes, Branden was already a dead man. They believed that the king would punish Branden. But just when they thought
that, the most unexpected outcome came.
The king coldly watched Branden, his face darkening and his attitude becoming colder.
“What if I insist on you staying?”
Branden remained calm and composed, casually sweeping his gaze over the king. “You can give it a try, Your Majesty.”
Compared to the previous sentence, this one was even more arrogant, and the people around were already trembling in fear.
This time, they all believed that Branden was not only doomed, but would also be subjected to Ravenloth’s harshest punishment.
Unfortunately, the king’s attitude once again shocked them. Not only did he not punish Branden, but he even laughed out loud.

“Well, well, well. It seems like I have guessed it right. Why hadn’t you even given a heads-up before you came to Ravenloth, Mr.
Duncan? I should have welcomed such an esteemed guest!”
Branden wasn’t too surprised that the king had known his identity.
He had been in Ravenloth for some time now, and the king had just found out, which was already a little late.
Branden responded calmly with a poker face, “There’s no need for you to welcome me personally, Your Majesty. My identity here
is merely as Dr. Sugar’s assistant. If Your Majesty has no other business, I will take my leave.”
Branden’s attitude was clear enough. He came to Ravenloth solely as the doctor’s assistant, which had nothing to do with the
Duncans.
However, this didn’t mean that the king of Ravenloth could easily manipulate him. If Branden wanted to leave, not only could the
king not stop him, but he also had to respectfully see Branden out.
After Branden left, the king became furious.
Seeing the king’s bad mood, the chief attendant lowered his head and cautiously asked, “Your Majesty, since you don’t want him
to leave, why don’t I arrange for someone to bring him back? This is Ravenloth. Why should we fear him?”
The king coldly glanced at the chief attendant, his icy gaze seemed to respond to the palace attendants with ” You fool!”
Terrified, the palace attendant quickly knelt down and continuously apologized.
The king still had a dark expression as
if he could explode with rage at any moment.
“Do you know who that man is? Even if we detain him now, we will have to send him back later and apologize. It’s not worth the
trouble.”
The palace attendant didn’t expect the situation to be so serious. He believed that the king wouldn’t say such things without
reason.
If that was the case, there must be a reason behind it. That assistant was definitely not an ordinary person.

“Your Majesty, what is the background of this assistant?”
The king gave him a hidden glance and coldly said, “Have you heard about the Duncans from Chritie?”
The palace attendant was stunned for a moment, then widened his eyes and looked at the king in fear.
“The Duncans?”
The king nodded, revealing Branden’s identity.
“He is the current head of the Duncans. It’s already strange enough for him to appear in Ravenloth, and now that he’s with Dr.
Sugar, I’m not sure what the relationship is between them.”
The palace attendant understood the king’s deep concern. The Duncans from Chritie were a very powerful family, and if they
were involved with the Hacker Alliance...
Once this piece of news was confirmed and spread to the world, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar, and the dynamics of
a lot of things would change drastically as a result.
The palace attendant finally understood why this “assistant” dared to openly disregard their king’s power. Because he was even
more powerful!
