All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 727 She's Always Right The yacht was slowly moving forward in the azure sea, following the waves of the current.

Withal and Ronin were playing a gon their cellphones when Withal suddenly noticed something ahead. He immediately put his phone away.

Seeing that something was wrong with Withal's expression, Ronin looked in the direction Withal was staring at.

Then, Ronin saw a speedboat racing in the sea not far ahead. He could tell at a glance that it was moving toward their yacht. From a distance, however, he couldn't see the people on the speedboat clearly.

Ronin noticed that Withal's chilling aura was intensifying, so he also put down his phone and stood up.

When the speedboat got close, everyone except Catherine, who was resting in the cabin, stood up.

"We're here, Boss!" said Paxton as he stood up from the driver's seat and prepared to connect to the opposite yacht.

It turned out to be Branden who had arrived.

Withal pursed his lips and sat back. He had thought it was someone looking for trouble, but it turned out to be Catherine's man, so he lost interest.

Branden, agile and elegant, stepped onto the yacht.

Ronin was a little surprised to see Branden. “Branden, aren't you supposed to be busy with your work? Why do you chere?" he asked.

Amelia, sitting on the side, rolled her eyes at Ronin with a look of disdain." Can't you tell that Mr. Duncan is here to see Catherine? He won't cto see you, anyway." Then, she added, "To meet Catherine, Mr. Duncan finished his work at the fastest speed possible. That's what an excellent man should do!" Facing Amelia's angry retort, Ronin disdainfully refuted, and the two began to argue.

After learning that Catherine was resting in the cabin, Branden headed towards the cabin.

No one noticed that Zobber, who usually liked to join in the fun, was sitting silently on the side like an outsider. She didn't know if Branden's rushed arrival was because he really missed Catherine or if he had discovered something. She had just received a message from Wantel that he had already retreated. At the stime, the people they had left at the airport sent the latest surveillance footage, showing that five minutes after Wantel left, a large group of the Duncans' people rushed to the airport, making quite a scene.

If there were no hidden agenda, Zobber would be the first not to believe it. She just hadn't expected that Catherine could predict it so accurately, knowing that Wantel would be in trouble and immediately getting him to evacuate.

Now, Branden had appeared. Zobber was genuinely worried that Branden might have noticed something.

After thinking it over, Zobber couldn't cup with an answer. Annoyed, she downed the drink in her hand in one gulp. Anyway, Catherine was more capable than her. If it were something even Catherine couldn't solve, she definitely wouldn't find the solution.

Instead of overthinking, it was better to leave everything to Catherine to take care of.

Inside the cabin, Catherine, who had been resting, instantly woke up upon hearing the faint sound of the door opening. The familiar scent made her let down her guard and close her eyes peacefully.

Branden took off his coat and lay down next to Catherine. He embraced her with one arm, and Catherine didn't resist. The small bed seemed somewhat spacious, with the two of them embracing.

"Let's sleep for a while, shall we?" Branden knew that Catherine was already awake.

Catherine didn't mind. If it weren't for Branden's sudden appearance, she could have rested a while longer. Since that was the case, they could rest together.

It wasn't until late afternoon that the two slowly woke up and cout of the cabin, walking to the deck. Withal was steering the yacht in the control room, while the others were passing the tplaying cards on the deck.

Seeing Catherine and Branden coming out, Zobber immediately discarded the cards in her hand. "I'm not playing anymore. You guys go ahead. I got something to discuss with Catherine!" Zobber went straight to Catherine, about to pounce on her, but then a sidelong glance made Zobber freeze in her tracks. Zobber then stopped a few steps away from Catherine, saying, " Catherine, I have something to ask you about." Catherine let go of Branden's hand and walked towards the stern. Zobber quickly followed, and the two stood facing the sea breeze, quietly discussing the situation.

"Catherine, Wantel has safely returned to the base. He originally wanted you to give him an explanation. And when I showed him the airport footage, that kid admitted defeat, saying that, fortunately, he had unwavering faith in your wise decisions." When Zobber heard Wantel's words, she almost burst out laughing. She didn't know what Wantel's reaction would be if he knew that the big shot from the Duncan Corporation was Catherine's man. It would surely be quite funny.

"Catherine, how did you figure out that Mr. Duncan was going after Wantel?" Zobber asked.

Catherine gazed ahead, expressionless. There was no particular reason why she knew it because if it were her, she would use this method to lure out the chief of the Hacker Alliance. Branden spared no expense to find Wantel, which meant there had to be something fishy going on.

Seeing Catherine's silence, Zobber changed the subject. "Catherine, what should we do next? You taught the Duncan Corporation a lesson this time, and they definitely won't take it lying down!" "That's what I'm waiting for!" Catherine declared confidently without a hint of hesitation.

Zobber stood in place, watching Catherine's slender figure, her confusion only intensifying. "What are these two big shots up to?" she wondered. "I just don't quite understand..." But then again, Catherine had never been easily understood in her actions, yet the final results always proved her right, and that was enough.

The sea breeze was pleasant, while on the other side, the atmosphere at the hotel was tense. Since learning that Catherine had gone on vacation, Paddy had becso angry that he smashed almost everything in the hotel room. In front of his teammates, he criticized Catherine and Marshall harshly. "We're restricted even to the convenience store at the entrance, yet they can go on vacation as they please. It's not fair!"

It was indeed unfair. Their team had been working day and night to with prepare for the corvising, Fergus personally leaving everyone exhausted. But they all knew it was for the competition, so no one complained. They all understood the significance of the ongoing competition.

What was originally a normal situation now seemed quite irritating when Paddy brought it up this way. Seeing no reaction from the others, he felt even more resentful. "Are you all just going to take this? Do you really think this is fair? Did you guys see the shop over there? It's the world's largest duty-free shop, a shopping paradise within reach, but we don't even have the chance to go and take a look!" These words seemed to strike a chord with some, triggering their inner restlessness. They had heard about this "shopping paradise" and had planned to visit, but the school's strict regulations didn't even allow them to step out of the hotel.

X Finally, someone couldn't hold back and looked at Paddy, asking, " Catherine has good grades, and her professor favors her. What can we do about it?"
