All Her Secrets

Chapter 795 Their Hideout

Compared to the worried Withal, Catherine seemed much more composed. Although Withal was unaware of Catherine’s thoughts, he was used to her calm demeanor after years of being by her side. “What’s the plan, Catherine?” Withal asked.

Catherine glanced casually at them and then focused on their wounds. “You two don’t need to worry. Focus on healing those injuries first.”

Zobber pursed her lips. She disagreed with Catherine’s decision. She wanted to help and not be idle.

As Zobber attempted to speak, Withal intervened. He said, “We’ll follow Catherine’s orders. Whatever she says, goes.”

Facing Withal’s persuasion, Zobber crossed her arms in frustration but dared not defy Catherine. Withal always obeyed Catherine’s commands, and if Zobber persisted, he might step in.

“Rest up, both of you. Don’t worry about me. The Duncans’ forces in Loxton are now under my command,” Catherine said.

Zobber’s expression eased after she heard Catherine’s words. Though she wanted to assist, considering the injuries they were carrying and the adversary’s intimate knowledge of their situation, she realized they might inadvertently complicate matters for Catherine.

Knowing Branden had redirected his forces to Catherine, Zobber felt more relieved. Although she had often criticized Paxton and his crew, their skills were commendable and were on par with Withal’s. Having them around would be a great help.

“Catherine, call on us anytime. We might not fight directly, but we can handle online tracking and other digital tasks,” Zobber said.

Seeing her eagerness to take on tasks, Catherine sensed Zobber’s pent-up frustration. Catherine thought if it were her being manipulated like that, she’d be eager to expose the mastermind behind it and give him a good reckoning. “Understood. There’ll be tasks for you when the time comes. No rush!”

Catherine finished briefing them and emerged from Connie’s place. She intended to reach out to Francis to arrange their tasks. Unexpectedly, before she could dial, Francis called her.
