All Her Secrets

Catherine casually picked up the phone and slipped on her headphones.

“Catherine, | got sfresh intel. You free to listen?” “Yeah,” Catherine grunted in response.

Ronin hadn't been hanging around Catherine much lately. Because Catherine had assigned him a task, and he went off to handle it.

Ever since they found out that the Breens had meddled with the Swann Corporation, they knew that trouble was on the horizon.

So Ronin took it upon himself to snoop around the Breens, and he finally unearthed sconfidential stuff.

“Catherine, fire up your computer!” Hearing Ronin’s words, Catherine powered up her laptop.

Soon, she received a file from Ronin. It was a medical diagnosis.

“Catherine, they're saying this diagnosis belongs to Shane. Seems like he’s sick.” Catherine scrutinized the report. Shane, that old fox, wouldn't just let his health report fall into anyone’s hands.

Even with Ronin’s intel, Catherine wasn’t jumping to conclusions. She scanned through and found nothing fishy, but she still felt suspicious and refrained from an immediate confirmation.

Unable to pinpoint any issues at the moment, Catherine ordered Ronin, Keep going.” “Got it!” Ronin’s tone grew serious. ” Catherine, | heard that the Breens know you're in Loxton.

She replied with a chilly expression, “Let them come.” They could cif they wanted, but leaving wouldn't be their call.

Ronin understood Catherine's message. There was Loxton in Eskana, not the Breens’ place in Alton. The Breens wouldn't dare act recklessly here.
