All Her Secrets

Chapter 817 The Orphanage

Although Catherine knew no one was following her, for safety’s sake, she circled the house a few more times before finally entering Connie’s place. As she rhythmically tapped the door, Zobber received the signal and rushed to open it.

“Catherine, you’re finally here!” Before the door was fully open, Zobber’s excited voice came through.

The seemingly ordinary wooden door had a special system installed that required a specific rhythm of knocks to ring the doorbell inside the house. It was a small trick they developed to protect the occupants. That’s why Zobber knew it was Catherine even before opening the door. Apart from her, only Connie knew the rhythm. Since Connie had a key and wouldn’t knock, the visitor had to be Catherine.

Withal, who sprawled on the couch listlessly, saw Zobber pull Catherine inside and couldn’t help but tease, ” Can’t you stop clinging to Catherine like a koala to a eucalyptus tree all the time?”

“Mind your own business!” Zobber snapped.

Seeing the two about to bicker again, Catherine coldly asked, “Did you call me here just to watch you two squabble? “Zobber had informed her last night to come by when she had time.

At Catherine’s command, they immediately stopped. They might love to joke around, but they’d rather endure each other than anger Catherine. Nothing was scarier than provoking her.

Zobber took the initiative to apologize, “Catherine, I’ll stop messing around. Let’s get to business.” After helping Catherine sit, Zobber playfully kicked Withal’s thigh. “Get moving!”

“Hey, easy there!” Withal winced in pain and rubbed where he was kicked. Then he got up to fetch Zobber a laptop.

Once the equipment was set up, Zobber compiled the information they’d gathered into a slideshow and presented it to Catherine. “Catherine, this is what we’ve found. Take a look!”
