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?”
