All Her Secrets By Chestnut

“I call her Boss. Whatever she says is right. If she says my playing isn’t good enough, it isn’t. Do you

really think I need your comments?”

When Bryan turned to look at Catherine, his expression changed. His eyes were filled with admiration

and awe.

“Boss, your critique is spot on. My vocal teacher, who taught me guitar, said something similar before.

These aspects do need improvement. And you can trust me. I’ll practice diligently later. I won’t let you

down.”

“Well,” Catherine grunted. She showed no interest in the people standing beside her. She even didn’t

spare them a glance. Bryan’s response was an unexpected turn of events for all the onlookers.

Regardless of whether he had intentionally praised Catherine with his previous words, his response as

the person involved left Elena utterly humiliated.

Bryan effectively helped Catherine embarrass Elena. And Catherine didn’t even need to make a move

to make her opponents crumble. That was the most brilliant aspect of the whole situation.

As the matter came to a close, Catherine felt tired. She slowly uncrossed her long legs and stood up.

She said, “Let’s go.”

Catherine strode toward the practice room’s exit. Her presence there had been solely for Bryan’s sake.

Now that Bryan had finished practicing, there was no need for her to linger.

Ronin followed closely as he noticed Catherine had gotten up. After Bryan saw Ronin’s movement, he

hastily packed up his things and followed them. As a result, the others followed suit one after another,

which created a bustling exodus.

Elena watched them leave with red eyes. She angrily looked at them with a mixture of bewilderment

and resentment. She muttered to herself, ” What’s the deal? What’s so special about Catherine? She’s

managed to enchant them all. Are they all crazy?

“That damn seductress! She’s quite the schemer!” Liana, who also glanced in Catherine’s direction,

had a look of anger and jealousy in her eyes.

“Elena, all we can do now is show everyone how exceptional we are,” Liana said. Elena sneered

dismissively, “Even if we’re exceptional, what good does it do us? In front of Catherine, we’ll still end up

losing. Just wait and see. I won’t let her have it easy.”

After her statement, Elena angrily departed. Liana watched Elena leave and let out a cold, mocking

laugh. She murmured, What a stupid woman. She’s only fit to be a stepping stone for Catherine.”

Liana had cleverly used Elena to undermine Catherine. If Elena succeeded, it would be the best

outcome. Even if Elena didn’t, causing some trouble for Catherine was still a great achievement. After

all, Liana did not need to intervene. She relished the situation as it unfolded.

School was out, and Catherine picked up her backpack and headed outside. Ronin quickly caught up

with her and spoke hushedly at her side, “Boss, have you received any news from Arthur?”

“What kind of news?” Catherine had been focusing on her classes and spending time with Audrey

recently. She hadn’t been involved in company matters during that time. Realizing that Catherine might

not be aware, Ronin quickly explained the situation.

“Our company’s network has been under continuous attack these past few days. And the attackers are

getting more skilled with each attempt.” Catherine raised an eyebrow at the information. She looked at

Ronin with curiosity. “Oh. Really?”

Their company was a renowned tech firm in the industry, and their tech experts were top-notch

hackers. It was pretty interesting that someone would dare challenge their company. Catherine asked

coldly, “You haven’t tracked down the culprits yet?”

Ronin nodded reluctantly. Then he realized something was amiss. “Boss, how did you them yet?” know

we haven’t caught Ronin looked at Catherine anxiously. He was worried that Catherine might punish

them for their lack of ability.

He was pretty uneasy about it. He thought inwardly, “Boss asked directly like this. Has she already

doubted our abilities?”

To dispel any doubt, Ronin quickly reassured her. “Boss, rest assured. We’ll work hard and do our best

to catch them as quickly as possible.”

In the age of the Internet, information changed rapidly. If they didn’t catch the culprits immediately, their

chances of success would diminish over time.

Catherine didn’t doubt their capabilities. However, Catherine knew Ronin very well. If Ronin had

already caught the culprits, he would have been bragging about it to her. Since he was sharing this

matter with her in a troubled manner, it likely meant they hadn’t been successful yet.

However, what piqued Catherine’s interest was the real motive behind these top-notch experts

attacking their website. She thought inwardly, “Who could coordinate so many experts within such a

short time?”

“Ronin, did they leave any information behind?” Catherine inquired.

“Yes,” Ronin replied. He became angry when Catherine mentioned it. He thought inwardly, “Those

audacious troublemakers have gone too far.” He was determined to make them realize the extent of his

prowess once he caught them.

“Boss, they left a challenge. They said they’ll continue their attacks tomorrow night and guarantee that

they will breach our defenses.”

Catherine tilted her head and casually glanced at Ronin. Her face was exquisitely beautiful.

“So, do you need me to step in?” she asked.

Ronin chuckled awkwardly and replied, “Boss, with you leading, victory is assured. With you, we’ll

easily take down these little troublemakers and show them how formidable we are. They won’t dare to

challenge us again in the future.”

Catherine looked at him with disdain.” Why don’t you just admit you’re useless?” Ronin rubbed his nose

in frustration. He couldn’t explain why he hadn’t been able to handle these hackers this time.

“Boss, please lend a hand,” Ronin pleaded with Catherine repeatedly. Catherine maintained her cold

demeanor and replied coldly, “I’ll consider it.”
