All Her Secrets

Chapter 833 Give Me a Reason

Rylan was quite happy when Catherine called him, but his expression turned dark as soon as he answered the phone. Despite her generally cold demeanor, he could tell that this time, her coldness was different. While she was typically aloof, her current tone was laced with hostility, which he found unacceptable. “What do you mean, Catherine? What have I done to make you so angry?” he asked.

Catherine responded in a cold tone, You know what you’ve done. I don’t care about your intentions, but if you interfere with my experiment, you’ll be in trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Rylan realized that Catherine must have found out about his connection to Reelyne Technologies, which prompted her call.

He cursed inwardly the two people he had sent to handle the matter, blaming their incompetence. Since Catherine had known, he understood that denying it wouldn’t change anything. She could see through his lie easily.

“You don’t know how envious I am of Branden,” Rylan said. “I see how he sponsored your school and easily gained access to your lab to spend time with you. I also wanted to get closer to you in the same way. I didn’t mean to make you angry.”

“Is that your only intention?” Catherine asked.

Rylan responded confidently, “What else would I do? And what else can I do? Catherine, can’t you understand my feelings for you?”

After a few seconds of silence, the call ended. Rylan put down his phone, his gloomy expression replaced with a hint of satisfaction.

She hadn’t seen an issue with his methods before, given their shared history of overcoming adversity. She didn’t agree with his actions but chose not to intervene. Her life experiences had taught her that observing from a distance reduced trouble. However, at some point, she found herself increasingly unable to accept Rylan’s way of doing things. Now,
