All Her Secrets

Chapter 940 Who Wouldn't Like Me?
Ronin shook off Withal's hand and was about to rush forward. Not far ahead, a man was chatting with a woman. Ronin didn't recognize the woman, but even with just a glimpse of the man's profile, he could tell it was Branden!
Catherine was working hard in the laboratory, and here was Branden flirting with a woman. Ronin couldn't allow that to happen.
Withal held on tightly, not daring to loosen his grip. Branden wasn't just anyone. If Ronin charged forward, it could lead to trouble. He had to stop Ronin.
"Ronin, don't be impulsive. What if it's a misunderstanding? Do you want Catherine to clean up the mess for you? She's been busy lately. Plus, you know how much Branden loves Catherine, right?"
The last sentence gradually calmed Ronin down. If Branden hadn't treated Catherine well, Ronin would have confronted him right now. In his eyes, any man who had feelings for Catherine was bad. But if Branden had truly been faithful, that would be a different story.
Frowning, Ronin looked at Withal. "So, what do you suggest?"
Withal picked up Ronin's phone from the table and took a few pictures of Branden and the woman. "You take these photos to Catherine, and I'll investigate the woman privately. Catherine needs to handle this herself, unless you think she can't handle such a small matter."
"Of course she can handle that," Ronin said without hesitation.
"Yeah, Catherine is much more capable than us. She'll sort it out. Besides, if Branden is really cheating, who do you think will be the first to hold him accountable?"
Withal smiled mysteriously at Ronin. If Branden had truly crossed the line, the Duncans might not get off lightly.
Ronin nodded in agreement and said, "You're right. I'll leave this to you and go find Catherine." He got up and left immediately. Withal wanted to call after him to pay the bill but hesitated and ended up watching Ronin slip away.
When Catherine received Ronin's message, she was still in the laboratory. Seeing him urgently calling out to her, she stopped her work and approached him. "What's wrong?"
On the way there, Ronin had thought of various explanations, but when he saw Catherine, he hesitated. Despite having cursed Branden in his heart countless times, now he didn't dare to say anything.
Catherine noticed his hesitation and found it amusing. "What's troubling you? Tell me, and I'll help you analyze. it.”
Ronin hesitated for a moment and said, "Catherine, try not to get too upset when you find out."
Catherine, with her arms crossed, looked at him intently. Ronin slowly took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to her.
Catherine casually took it and, upon seeing the photos, she narrowed her eyes. "Did you take these?"
"Yes," Ronin explained the situation to Catherine. "Withal is investigating the woman. We should have news soon."
Catherine nodded calmly and returned the phone to Ronin. "Let me know when there's an update," she said before leaving abruptly, leaving Ronin bewildered. "What does Catherine mean by this?" he wondered.
After returning to the laboratory, Catherine intended to continue working. However, she couldn't get the image out of her head. Expressions could be faked, but the eyes never lied. She had always thought that Branden would maintain a cold attitude towards everyone except her, because she was unique. However, she was mistaken. In the photo, Branden's gaze, though calm, lacked his usual indifference.
"Catherine, Catherine..." Marshall called her twice, but she didn't respond until he approached and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Professor Hartley, what brings you here?" she asked.
"I called you twice. Didn't you hear me? “Marshall frowned, feeling somewhat concerned. Catherine, who was usually alert, hadn't even noticed him approaching.
Catherine shrugged. "I was thinking about something just now and didn't notice. Do you need something?"
"No, I was just passing by and happened to see you lost in thought," Marshall replied. "You're too focused on your work. While the projects are important, so is your well-being. You need to take care of yourself."
Catherine didn't really catch what Marshall said; her mind was preoccupied with something else. She turned to Marshall and asked, " Professor Hartley, can I take a leave?"
Upon hearing her request, Marshall felt quite happy. "Of course, take today off, and tomorrow too. Just make sure you get some rest!"
"Thank you, Professor Hartley!" Catherine said, then packed up and left.
Watching her depart, Marshall felt quite relieved. "She's finally coming around and knows she needs a rest." He often got so absorbed in his
