All Her Secrets

The food in the restaurant was pretty good. Catherine had quite a meal that night. Erick saw Catherine setting down her fork to take a drink, and he seized the chance to strike up a conversation.

"Catherine, what brings you to Oceanvile?" he asked.

Catherine didn't hold back. She told him Rodge needed help, hence her rush to Oceanvile.

After Erick heard that, he said with disappointment, "Catherine, I thought I might have a chance to show you around Oceanvile for a couple of days, but it looks like you don't have the time.

Catherine nodded in agreement and replied calmly, "Indeed. There's hardly any time. I need to get back to Loxton soon." Erick then brought up sinternal company matters to Catherine.

"Catherine, I stumbled upon something. Sold factions within the company have been in contact with the Breens. They seem to have intentions to support the old associates of the Winfreds, but their exact motives are still unclear," he said.

During Xavier's tenure, several key positions at the Winfred Group were held by members of the Winfreds family.

Since Erick took over, there have been significant changes in personnel through replacements or reassignments at important positions.

However, people from the Winfreds family were spread throughout the Winfred Group in various departments. Removing them wouldn't be easy unless the Winfred Group was overturned.

Those people seemed calm and compliant on the surface as if they were aligning themselves with Erick. But they were constantly scheming behind the scenes, intending to pull Erick from the top position and reclaim the Winfreds' assets.

Catherine had been immersed in the lab lately. She didn't intervene much apart from dealing with Atticus once. As for Edson, she hadn't paid attention to him during this period.

It was surprising to hear that the Breens had their fingers in the Winfred Group.

Erick had been channeling funds from the Winfred Group to the Arbotte Laboratory for research purposes.
