All Her Secrets

Chapter 752 Paper Couldn't Hold Fire
Catherine went on a tour and didn't return until it was getting dark in the evening.
Although she did not find Branden's mother's whereabouts, she uncovered an essential piece of information.
"What?" Amos looked at her in shock. " Miss, this is absolutely not acceptable. Those invited to the flower appreciation event are the most elite citizens of Florona. If you were to go, you would surely be recognized, and it would be difficult for you to leave the island afterward."
Today, Catherine went out and unexpectedly obtained some information.
The community committee of Florona would be holding its annual flower appreciation event tomorrow night, exhibiting precious varieties of flowers. Only the elite citizens of Florona had been invited to attend.
Relying on the identity of Branden's mother and the wealth and power possessed by her first love at that time, Branden's mother could inevitably be upgraded to a citizen of the upper class in Florona.
Restricting the search scope was necessary in order to maximize the possibility of finding the person.
Although this was a good idea, Amos felt it was too risky. He was still unwilling to let Catherine take the risk.
He didn't know what kind of relationship the person Catherine was looking for had with her, but he understood that this person must be very important to Catherine. "Miss, let me go!"
Catherine looked at him with suspicion.
Amos then explained, "Miss, I have a way to infiltrate the chefs. The annual flower appreciation event involves appreciating various rare flowers and tasting and evaluating the exquisite dishes made from edible flowers."
Amos had been spending a lot of time in Florona. Although he was relatively unsociable and had few visitors, he still had a few friends, one of whom was a well-known vegetarian chef.
Catherine disagreed with Amos's decision. "Since you have this channel, then it's perfect."
Amos couldn't persuade her, so he could only go along with her. Finally, the two of them unanimously decided to set off together the next day.
Amos would take Catherine and slip into the ranks of the chefs, acting as a helper in the kitchen.
Although there had been no progress on Catherine's side, the situation was still relatively safe overall. However, things had already become chaotic in Loxton.
Zobber contacted members of the Hacker Alliance in Alton, but they were also unable to reach Wantel.
Withal asked his friend to check several places where Wantel could possibly appear, but they did not find any trace of Wantel.
The message they sent out was as if it had fallen on deaf ears, with no response whatsoever.
This had made Zobber anxious. She already arranged her plane ticket and was ready to depart for Alton.
Not only could they not contact Wantel, they couldn't even contact Catherine.
At this moment, if she still hadn't gone and seen for herself, how could she justify the many years of friendship with them?
Zobber was preparing to pack up when suddenly, Ronin burst in. "We have some news!"
Upon hearing these words, several people immediately surrounded Ronin. "What's the news?"
"Look for yourself!" Ronin handed his tablet to everyone and opened a video. " In order to find Wantel, I started searching from the surveillance footage after we left the airport. However, I found that Wantel never actually left the airport and had even boarded a private plane before we even got on our flight. You couldn't imagine the people traveling with him."
When Zobber saw the end of the video, she finally understood why Ronin had said that they couldn't imagine.
She was shocked when she saw the familiar figure appear in the video. " Catherine! It turns out to be Catherine! What did she and Wantel actually hide from us?"
Ronin also found it strange. When he discovered this video, without wasting time on further thoughts, he immediately brought the video to show others.
No wonder they couldn't get in touch with Wantel, or with Catherine. It turned out that the two left at the same time.
Zobber was furious. "How can this be? Abandoning us to act alone... This is outrageous."
After speaking, Zobber was about to rush out.
Withal grabbed her. "Where are you going?"
Zobber forcefully shook off his hand. "I need to go find Mr. Duncan. I have to ask him where Catherine is."
Withal seemed to have already guessed Zobber's thought. Upon hearing Zobber's words, he quietly rolled his eyes at her. "Do you think that Catherine will not tell us but Mr. Duncan? Don't forget. Just like us, Mr. Duncan believes that Catherine is currently attending a seminar in Theisia. Or perhaps you should think again: Catherine is keeping us in the dark to prevent Mr. Duncan from
finding out?"
This statement immediately let Zobber come to a realization.
She had always been clever and already understood the deeper meaning behind Withal's words. "You make a good point, but why do you think Catherine would go on a mission with Wantel and not bring us along?"
After some contemplation, Withal asked Zobber, "Have you carefully considered if there have been any recent tasks that only Wantel has been in contact with and that none of us have taken on?"
Zobber was now responsible for receiving and allocating orders for Hacker Alliance. Basically, any large order needed to be allocated through her.
However, there was one exception, and that was Catherine herself.
She was the chief of the Hacker Alliance and had the authority to take orders independently of Zobber and then distribute them secretly.

After careful consideration, Zobber
finally reacted. "I recall that this
matter may indeed be related to Mr. Duncan. The Duncans had previously
approached the Backer Alliance, requesting the chief of the Hacker Alliance to take on the job personally, and even offered a sky-high price. At that time, Catherine refused the job on the grounds that it did not comply with the rules. Later, they wanted to switch to Wantel, but Catherine found out that going to Wantel was actually a trap set by the Duncans." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

After listening to Zobber's narration, Withal couldn't help but burst intom laughter. "Catherine and Mr. Duncan are really something. They're obviously a couple. Why are they still playing coy? Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
Zobber shrugged silently and said, "I don't know about that. This is the only recent task in which Wantel has had contact with Catherine."
After a discussion, they decided first to go and explore what the Duncan
Corporation's mission was.
Because Catherine was doing it secretly, they didn't want Branden to know about
it either. They were afraid of ruining it, and Catherine would come back to punish
them severely.
To their utter surprise, before they could even attempt to investigate, Branden had already noticed something amiss.
He had been trying to contact Catherine since yesterday, but there had been no
answer to his calls.
Finally, he called Marshall's mobile phone. Marshall answered and said that Catherine was in the laboratory and couldn't answer the phone.
It sounded flawless, but Branden always felt like something was off.
Paxton rushed into the office with the intelligence from Theisia. "Sir, there is
news!"
Branden spoke in a cold tone and uttered a single word, "Read!"

Paxton bravely reported the information, "Sir, the people from
Theisia have come to report that only Professor Marshall Hartley participated in the seminar from start
to finish. They have never seen Miss Swann, and her name was not on the invited list." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
As soon as the words were spoken, Paxton felt the air pressure within the office suddenly drop, engulfing him in an eerie atmosphere.
