All Her Secrets

Chapter 819 The Lab

Over the next while, Catherine dove into the tense and busy final stage. It seemed like everyone knew about Catherine’s situation. No one dared to disturb her.

Rylan occasionally showed up, but he never crossed paths with Catherine. He didn’t think much of it, because Branden did the same. Branden would come back once in a while, yet he couldn’t catch Catherine either.

Catherine practically lived in the lab. She put in all her time to smoothly finish the last phase of the experiment.

One noon, Branden showed up again. As he arrived at the lab building, he spotted Rylan waiting at the entrance. Branden glanced at him with a sharp hostility in his eyes.

Surprisingly, Rylan stepped forward and greeted him, “Mr. Duncan, quite persistent, huh? Sacrificing business for a student. Is it worth it?”

Hearing the teasing tone, Branden let out a cold laugh and replied, “Mr. Melton, if it is not worth it, why are you lurking around here day in, day out like a faithful lapdog?”

Rylan laughed and then replied, “Who is the real lapdog? That’s up for debate. But I see myself as the one who’ll win her affection.”

“Enough. Mr. Melton, quit showing off, “Branden replied. They mocked each other with no niceties.

Rylan attempted to say more, but Branden interjected, “The soup won’t taste good if it gets cold. I’ll be going, Mr. Melton.” With that, Branden strode straight toward the lab building.
