All Her Secrets

Chapter 945 Attitude
After Zobber came back from Black Robe, she told Withal the news she had learned. Seeing the two of them wide-eyed in shock, Zobber felt somewhat satisfied inside; at least, it showed that this matter did sound shocking, and not just her was shocked.
"What do you think? Don't you guys think it's unbelievable too? When I heard it, I even doubted my ears."
Ronin looked up dazedly at Zobber, asking, “Did you agree to it?"
"You think I'm stupid?" Zobber rolled her eyes at him. "I said it's a big deal. I need to go back and think about it. That black robe man gave me a day to consider."
Ronin nodded dumbly, thinking, 'Not too bad; at least Zobber didn't immediately agree; we can still think of a solution.'
Seeing that Withal kept quiet the whole time, Zobber nudged him with her elbow. "Are you crazy or what?"
That was quite a strong hit. It hurt so. much that Withal was about to lose his temper. He glared up at Zobber angrily. "Are you still a lady? My ribs are almost broken from that hit!"
Zobber disdainfully snorted. "If it were Catherine, your ribs would have been broken already. Do you still think Catherine is a lady?"
Faced with Zobber's unreasonable persistence and twisting of words, Withal decided to give up. 'Since I can't win over her, I'll just quit!'
Zobber once again had to force Withal to speak. "Hurry up and tell me what you think. Don't tell me you have nothing to say, or else I'll beat you up!"
Feeling so angry that Withal wanted to strangle her, wondering, 'How come staying silent makes me appear guilty?'
"Alright, I'm just thinking," he replied.
"What are you thinking about?" Zobber prodded.
"I am thinking about what position Black Robe will be placed within the Duncan Corporation to successfully capture the company after the loss of Branden." Withal's words got everyone present deep in thought.
The Duncan Corporation had been under the rule of Branden for so many years. That dude was super capable. The whole Duncan Corporation was constantly reaching new heights under his control.
He was not only good at doing business but also very good at reading people. Everyone under his command was loyal to him, devoted to him.
If Branden really got into trouble, the Duncan Corporation wouldn't be changing hands quickly and definitely. wouldn't be going under anytime soon.
But Black Robe said it so confidently. There must be some trickery going on here.
"Could it be like the general manager of the Duncan Corporation?" Zobber guessed boldly.
Withal shook his head, saying, “I don't think it's going to be that easy!"
Zobber agreed with what he said. " Should we spill the tea to Branden? If he knows, he might be able to check it out real quick."
"No way!" Ronin immediately shot down Zobber's suggestion.
Black Robe's guys were definitely keeping a close eye on them now. Any little movement would be reported right away.
The enemies were hiding in the shadows while they were out in the open. If Branden got caught investigating the situation from the inside, then they would all be in trouble. All their plans would go to waste after all this time.
"What should we do?" Zobber was feeling a bit annoyed, saying inwardly, 'This won't work, that won't work. Might as well just tell me to surrender.'
Knowing her personality, Withal took the initiative to comfort her. "Just do whatever you want to do now. If you really betray Catherine, then just do what you think is right. Don't worry about anything else. Leave it all to us."
Only by doing this could they be convincing enough to deceive Black Robe.
Zobber couldn't think of any other good way for now, so she could just agree with Withal's suggestion."
Alright, let's just go with this for now!".
Catherine came out of the lab after getting Marshall's message. “Professor Hartley, you looking for me?"
Marshall was grinning as he looked at her. "That's right. I'll introduce you to a beauty! From now on, Miss Selene will be responsible for coordinating all sponsorship funds from Melton Group with us."
Catherine paused for a moment, then smiled gently.
Selene was standing on the side with a slight smile on her face, but her eyes were ice-cold. "Miss Swann, I just returned from abroad and just joined Melton Group. I'm still learning a lot of things, so if I make any mistakes in the future, please excuse me."
Catherine looked at her with a deadpan expression, no emotions whatsoever, and her voice was ice cold. "If you don't understand, put in a little more effort. Don't let it hold up your work. Otherwise, it won't work no matter who talks!"
Catherine's blatant attitude left Selene frozen in place, her face becoming incredibly unpleasant.
She was humiliated in front of everyone. How could she stand it?
Selene put on a forced smile and asked, "Miss Swann, do you have a problem
with me? Is that why you're targeting me like this?"
"I'm going in if you don't mind." With that, Catherine was ready to leave.
Selene just couldn't stand this disrespectful attitude.

She glared at Catherine's back and
shouted, "Stop right there, Miss Swann! Do you not care that yourm attitude/could affect the whole laboratory because you're
deliberately targeting me? Are you not bothered at all that you will ruin
Styre University's reputation?" Visit Novelxo.org to read the latest chapter of this novel
'This woman is too arrogant. She needs to be taught a lesson,' said Selene
inwardly.
Catherine stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Selene. "Do you think I'm targeting you?"
"Are you not?" Selene was so mad, thinking Catherine must know that she knew Branden and got jealous. 'This woman is so two-faced, scary and jealous.' Catherine sneered twice, then looked around at everyone. "What do you think?"
Selene had no idea what Catherine meant. She just felt that Catherine was too arrogant. With so many people around, Catherine still dared to show off so
openly.

But what surprised her was, after
Catherine asked, Marshall actually took the initiative to speak up. "Miss O.K. Miller, you've misunderstood. That's just who Catherine was. As a
researcher, her mind is full of scientific experiments. She doesn't have any other intentions, especially not targeting you!" Visit Novelxo.org to read the latest chapter of this novel
After Marshall finished speaking, Ultan held his head, feeling speechless.
"Last time Mr. Melton visited, the treatment he received was even worse. Miss
Miller, you should consider yourself lucky with the treatment you're getting!"
added Marshall.
The underlying meaning was, "Even. your boss would get scolded here; why are
you making a scene here?"
Selene was shocked; her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked around. 'Are these people all crazy or what? Why are they all so protective of Catherine?' Catherine couldn't be bothered to talk to her. She just told Marshall," Professor,
I'm heading to the lab!"
Marshall waved his hand, motioning for her to leave and leave it to him.

Selene was still not convinced. She
had never seen sponsors treated so badly before, and she looked at Styre University President Ultan with surprise. "Is this really the style of Styre University?" Visit

Ultan had a big smile on his face, but the words coming out of his mouth were as
tough as nails. "Miss Miller, if you think there's a problem, go back and figure it out before coming back!"
'Is he asking me to leave? And I'm the one at fault?' Selene couldn't understand,
feeling angry inside, but everyone was on Catherine's side. She had no choice but to leave in frustration.
