All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 612 Clash of Two Men Inside a restaurant, Catherine was calmly eating, while Ronin seemed quite restless. After wrestling with the thought for a while, he finally spoke up to Catherine.

He asked, “Catherine, what do you think Edson’s deal is, coming to you so openly without any reservations?” Catherine slowly lifted her gaze. She glanced at him and asked, “Has he ever been discreet before?” Ronin thought Catherine had a point. Edson was always unruly. Every the saw Catherine, he was persistent and always got Ronin riled up.

Ronin asked, “Catherine, have you figured out how to handle Edson? Should we make searly arrangements? Just say the word, and I'll set it up.” Ronin wore an eager expression and awaited Catherine's words. He was ready to take action.

However, Catherine looked at him coldly with disdain in her eyes. “What's the point of all that? Do you get nothing better to do?” “Catherine, | didn’t mean...” Catherine lowered her eyes, and her voice turned colder. “Eat!” This word made Ronin immediately shut his mouth. After lunch, with no lab work or classes to attend, Ronin wanted Catherine to accompany him somewhere.

“Where to?” Catherine asked.

“The mall!” Ronin suggested.

Catherine thought it was fine and agreed.

Then, the two headed to Loxton’s biggest mall for comB oping.

As soon as they entered, a dessert shop caught Ronin’s attention.

Unlike Catherine, who wasn’t fond of sweets, Ronin had a sweet tooth.

Withal had said before that Ronin’s love for sweets was all because of Catherine.

Catherine wasn't interested in sweets, so Ronin wanted to taste all the delicious sweets and select the best ones for Catherine.

In his eyes, Catherine only deserved the very best.

“Catherine, this dessert here is amazing. One of them isn’t too sweet. | think it’s your kind of flavor. Do you want to try it?” Ronin suggested.

Catherine didn’t object. She didn’t say anything against it, which Ronin understood as an agreement.

Ronin found a suitable spot for Catherine to sit while he took charge of lining up to get the dessert. Ronin’s boyish face was particularly reminiscent of the most popular boy band members nowadays.

His appearance attracted quite a bit of attention as soon as he showed up.

Despite hiding her face under a baseball cap, Catherine seemed even more intriguing while with Ronin. This air of mystery drew more attention from the people around them.

Everyone speculated about the face hiding beneath that hat.

Despite the intense curiosity from the onlookers, Ronin paid no attention. After buying the cake, he was about to head back.

Just as he turned, he sensed a commotion in the shop, accompanied by several gasps.

“Wow...” “So handsome!” “His eyes are so beautiful!” “Look at that box he’s carrying. It’s very expensive. | heard anything from that brand could easily be traded for a luxury car!” “Is he planning to propose?” Ronin followed the crowd’s gaze, and when he saw Edson, his face darkened completely.

Through gritted teeth, he muttered, ” This persistent creep!” Edson winked at Ronin before heading toward Catherine’s spot.

Ronin had chosen a corner table. He was much farther from Catherine than Edson was, so he lagged a distance behind.

Catherine was engrossed in her phone game. When Edson reached her, she didn’t even glance up.

Unperturbed, Edson smoothly pulled out a chair and sat opposite Catherine.

“Cassie, what a coincidence. | run into you again!” Edson said.

Catherine didn’t react at all. She didn’t bother to spare Edson a glance. Unfazed, Edson rested his chin on his hand. With a gentle smile on his face, he quietly gazed at her.

The onlookers were surprised that this new handsforeigner had also cto Catherine, while Ronin looked furious.

They thought it should be interesting, so they took out their phones to capture the scene.

The former was sweet and handsome, while the latter was charming and wealthy. The crowd wondered who the cap-wearing lady would choose as these two styles of attractive men clashed.

Ronin hurried over to Edson and didn’t want to create a scene in public.

Suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and shouted, “Get up! It's my seat!” Edson slowly raised his head and glanced at Ronin with a smile as he asked, “Did you write your non it? Or do you own this place?” Ronin was infuriated and retorted.” Then I'll buy this place right now!” His expression showed no hint of jest, leaving everyone stunned. They hadn't expected the young, charming boy to be a big spender.

Now, everyone looked at Catherine and waited for her reaction. They wanted to see which man Catherine would choose.

Seven started live streaming the scene on short video platforms, as if a grand event was about to unfold.

Aidan, who was idly scrolling through videos, stumbled upon this Scene, While others might not have recognized her, he immediately identified the woman with the baseball cap as Catherine. Slapping his thigh, he exclaimed, ” Wow! What the heck!” The woman beside him was startled and turned pale. She cautiously asked, ” Mr. Lane, what's wrong?” Pushing her aside, Aidan disdainfully said, “I have something to attend to. You stay put!” He quickly screenshot the video and sent it to Branden.

Initially, he considered adding a cuckolded expression, but since it was Branden, he silently refrained.

With so many beautiful women outside, Aidan wanted to live a couple more years.

Branden was in a meeting when his phone rang suddenly.

After grabbing his phone and glancing at the screen, he recognized the figure in the screenshot. He immediately stood up and strode out of the conference room.

Seeing this, the executive, who was in the midst of a quarterly report, looked around with a perplexed expression.

He thought inwardly, “Did | make a mistake? Why did Mr. Duncan leave before the meeting ended?”

Paxton knew Branden had something urgent, so he swiftly took charge, He announced, " Mr. Duncan has some urgent matters to attend to. Today's meeting ends here. Meeting adjourned!

After his announcement, he hurriedly left, leaving the people in the conference room bewildered . No one knew what had made Branden, this unshakable figure, suddenly leave like this. Last time, when their subsidiary in Northern Euphosean was attacked in an air raid, the meeting proceeded as scheduled.

The analysis among the executives was that something major must have occurred internationally. Otherwise, Branden wouldn't have reacted this way.
