All Her Secrets

Chapter 318 The Black Market
Tyler knew that he had no chance of resisting in front of Catherine. It wasn’t just because of Catherine’s mysterious status but
also Catherine’s formidable influence that left him in awe.
“Can you help me save someone?”
After hearing that, Catherine showed some interest. She glanced at him and asked, “Is this your third question?”
“Yes!” Tyler blurted out. He eagerly stared at Catherine. “Can you help me? If you help me, I’ll obey your every command.”
Tyler had no resources now. All he could do was obey orders and gain acceptance from others.
“What’s your name?”
When Catherine asked, Tyler hesitated for a moment. He hadn’t expected such an irrelevant question. Tyler remembered what
he had said earlier. He immediately showed obedience.
“My name is Erick Olsen.”
Remembering Catherine’s purpose in coming to him, Tyler added, “I share my mother’s last name. Tyler is a nickname Killian
gave me. You can call me Erick.”
Catherine knew he wasn’t lying. The information she received showed that his birth mother’s last name was indeed Olsen.
“Why are you willing to obey me?”
When he was with Killian, he followed Killian’s orders to compete and earn money. But he had always been rebellious and
defiant. However, in front of Catherine, he acted obediently.
Erick understood Catherine’s meaning. Catherine’s question made his cheeks turn slightly red. He showed a hint of shyness.
“Because you’re really strong.”
Catherine didn’t have much reaction to this. She had heard these kinds of compliments too many times and had become numb
to them. After understanding Erick’s purpose, Catherine agreed to his request.
“Is the person you want me to help save your companion?”

“Yes.” Erick nodded solemnly. “He saved my life.”
Catherine intended to use Erick to obtain something, which was her purpose for going to the boxing gym today. She made use of
Erick, and now she agreed to his condition. It was a fair exchange. Neither owed the other anything.
“I’ll have Sean help you find the person. You stay here and follow him. Don’t go anywhere else!”
As Catherine stood up to leave, Erick felt an impulse he couldn’t explain and blurted out, “What about you? Won’t you come
back?”
Catherine looked back at him and said, “Tomorrow evening, I’ll come to pick you up.”
Erick smiled faintly and revealed his cute canine teeth. He said softly, “Okay. He liked the feeling of getting a response and not
being abandoned.
Catherine opened the door and walked out of the office, only to find Sean leaning against the doorframe.
Sean squinted his eyes mischievously and looked at Catherine. He spoke in a low, suggestive tone, “Cassie, it’s not right to
seduce young boys like this.”
Catherine’s attractive eyes darkened and turned cold. She gave Sean a warning with a glance.
“Mind your own business.”
It wasn’t until Catherine left that Sean regained his composure. He silently breathed a sigh of relief. Women like Catherine were
too terrifying. He couldn’t afford to provoke her.
Since he couldn’t provoke her, he had to behave and save his own skin. He turned and entered the office, only to be met with the
intense gaze of Erick, who Catherine had just brought in. Erick stared at him in a rather eerie manner.
Sean was still reeling from Catherine’s warning, and his temper flared up instantly. He scolded impatiently, ” What are you staring
at me for? Trying to pick a fight?”
Erick remained calm as he replied coldly, “Cassie asked you to help me save someone.”
Sean looked at him disdainfully and sneered, “Why should I listen to what she says? Who do you think I am?”
Erick’s face darkened instantly, and his eyes turned cold.

“Are you insulting her?”
He asked in a menacing tone and exuded a bloodthirsty aura. Sean, who had been angry just moments ago, suddenly burst into
laughter. But his smile had a sinister undertone.
He took a step forward and got close to Erick. He emitted an eerie vibe as he looked Erick up and down with narrowed eyes.
“Tyler, you’ve been tamed by Cassie so quickly. Are you starting to protect her now?”
Hearing that, Erick was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t realized just how special Catherine had become to him. As Sean saw
Erick deep in thought, he smiled. His laughter filled the entire office.
Then he said, “Haha. Amusing. It’s pretty amusing!
“Don’t worry. I’ll help you with what you want. But it’s got nothing to do with you. I’ll complete any tasks given by Cassie.”
When Catherine emerged from the black market, she sensed someone following her. She remained calm as she continued
walking forward. And she didn’t care about the person tailing her.
If he had the guts, he could come at her. However, it seemed the person behind Catherine had no intention of harming her. He
simply continued following her.
After Catherine reached her apartment, she felt the person behind her disappear. Once she was sure no one was following,
Catherine pressed the elevator button to go upstairs.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of anyone knowing where she lived. She just didn’t want any unexpected encounters with Audrey,
who often came and went at odd hours.
The motion sensor lights in the hallway appeared to be malfunctioning. They didn’t immediately turn on when the elevator doors
opened.
Catherine didn’t seem to mind and walked forward confidently. Catherine had trained since childhood. And her night vision was
better than someone with night vision goggles.
She could walk normally without lighting equipment. Catherine heard shallow breathing behind her and frowned slightly. Before
she could react, a gust of wind rushed toward her. Then Catherine reacted quickly.

She immediately fought back, and they were entangled in a brief scuffle. However, within a few seconds, Catherine stopped and
surrendered willingly.
She allowed the person to embrace her. A low, husky male voice came from behind her. The man asked, “No more struggling?”
Catherine smirked arrogantly and said softly, “I’d hate to damage you. It would break my heart.”
After hearing that, the man laughed. After the fingerprint lock beeped and the door opened, the man led Catherine into the room.
When he made his move, Catherine recognized him by the familiar scent.
Catherine stopped without hesitation. She knew it was Branden. And he would never harm her. Once inside, Catherine casually
sprawled herself onto the enormous recliner.
This was a new addition that Branden had acquired for the apartment since her arrival. The oversized recliner allowed Catherine
to arrange herself comfortably, and it was incredibly relaxing.
Catherine often played games on it until she fell asleep. In the end, Branden would have to carry her to the bedroom like he was
holding a precious baby. Branden believed that sleeping on the recliner might affect Catherine’s bone development.
After Catherine found her most comfortable position on the recliner, Branden calmly asked, “Did you guess it was me?”
Catherine nodded without hesitation.” Of course. I could tell it was you as soon as you got close.”
It seemed like Catherine was in a good mood today. When she smiled, her eyes were exceptionally beautiful.
Catherine’s smile was so bright and attractive. It instantly warmed Branden’s heart.
