All Her Secrets

Chapter 816 A Bright Day

Last night’s gathering had quite a turnout, and many of the school’s movers and shakers were there. The next day, news of Catherine attending the gathering spread across the campus like wildfire. Thankfully, the buzz about her was positive. Even the senior students had nothing but high praise for Catherine. They mentioned she might seem reserved, but it wasn’t snobbishness. She was approachable and always willing to help.

Catherine’s reputation at school had been under a cloud due to rumors about her changing boyfriends. Some gossip suggested she only hung out with wealthy and influential people, even when it came to relationships. They said she would dump her boyfriend when she met a more wealthy man. But with this recent positive talk, it seemed like a clarification for Catherine’s name.

When Rylan arrived at school, he overheard these rumors. He immediately sought out Amelia, who could provide the information he sought better than Catherine.

Amelia caught sight of Rylan and wanted to evade him. Rylan was too handsome. She was afraid of drawing trouble if she looked at him a moment longer. She knew Rylan’s reason for getting close to her was solely because she was Catherine’s roommate. Catherine had helped Amelia a lot, and Amelia wouldn’t betray her. So, she tried her best to dodge him. But Amelia’s hopes of avoiding Rylan were futile. He never gave her the chance.

Apart from Catherine, there was no one Rylan couldn’t handle. In just a few words, Amelia was left dizzy and ended up spilling the details about the previous night.

“So, Catherine went there?” Rylan asked.

Amelia nodded. “Yeah. Not only did she go, but she was incredibly friendly. Everyone really liked her.”

“Is Catherine in the dorms? I went to the lab earlier, and the security guard said she hadn’t been there.”

Upon hearing Rylan’s question, Amelia secretly admired this man’s capability. The security guard at their school’s lab was notoriously difficult to deal with, and he was impossible to bribe. Yet, Rylan somehow managed to deal with him and get Catherine’s whereabouts. It was too eerie.
