All Her Secrets

Chapter 921 Don’t Scare Me
For many years, Thomas has taken care of Catherine like a doting grandfather. When something was bothering Catherine, she
didn’t want to keep it from him. She extended her wrist towards Thomas.
His expression darkened drastically. He thought that Catherine was unwell. He couldn’t imagine any other reason for her to
summon him from afar, using the excuse of a seminar at Styre University, unless she was seriously ill and didn’t want anyone to
know.
“Catherine, don’t scare me. I’m old and can’t handle this kind of stress!” Thomas exaggerated, earning a smile from Catherine,
who felt moved.
Healing was Thomas’s area of expertise, and he had never shied away from it. His panicked reaction to the misunderstanding
showed just how deep his love for her ran.
“Thomas, don’t worry. It’s just a minor ailment, nothing incurable!” Catherine reassured him.
Thomas skeptically placed his hand on Catherine’s, carefully checking her pulse. After a moment, he released her hand, eyeing
her with suspicion. A slight shake of her head conveyed her message to him.
Furrowing his brow, Thomas said coldly, indicating his frustration. “That rascal, if he treated you poorly, I’d skin him alive right
now!”
Catherine stood quietly by, smiling. It felt good to have someone supporting her. After venting a bit more, Thomas looked at
Catherine with a hint of reproach. “Why didn’t you call me earlier? You’re just a young girl. Could you handle this on your own?
And does Branden know?”
Catherine honestly replied, fearing that Thomas might really get upset, “No, you’re the only one who knows for now. I just found
out. I didn’t even get checked, and immediately contacted you!”
Thomas felt relieved after hearing this. “At least you’ve got a conscience, girl. It’s good that you told me right away after all the
care I’ve given you. I’m here now, so don’t worry. I won’t leave. I’ll stay by your side and keep you safe!”
Catherine now thought Branden’s habit of lavish spending wasn’t so bad after all. It seemed like Thomas might have to stay in
Loxton for a while. Staying in a hotel for a long time wasn’t comfortable. The house Branden bought would provide a more
comfortable living situation for him and Scott.

“Alright, I’ll follow your lead, but for now, only you know about this. You have to keep it a secret for me until all this mess is sorted
out,” Catherine said.
Although Thomas wasn’t directly involved in the situation in Loxton, he had heard some things from Scott. He knew Catherine’s
current situation wasn’t easy. They used to handle things effortlessly when they were in the shadows and the enemies were in
the light. Now that the situation was reversed, things had become much more complicated. He could understand Catherine’s
cautiousness and thorough consideration.
“Cassie, remember not to shoulder everything on your own. Branden is reliable, and the Duncans are powerful. You don’t need
to suffer,” Thomas advised.
“Got it.” Catherine nodded. “Let’s go. I’ll continue showing you around Styre University.”
Thomas slowed his pace to match Catherine’s.
Ronin had been trying to reach Zobber for some time, but even when he managed to contact her, she ignored him and even
threatened to eliminate him if she saw him.
Seeing Zobber’s response, Ronin smiled somewhat helplessly. “This woman has quite the temper! It’s been days, and she’s still
not over it.”
He got into the car, planning to have another chat with Withal. However, before he could set off, he received a mysterious phone
call, prompting him to change direction.
As he was two miles away from his destination, he received another call, this time demanding that he get out of the car.
“Pull over and come in!” the voice on the other end commanded.
Irritated, Ronin retorted, “Have you lost your mind?”
Finn coldly stated, “You can choose not to obey the orders,” before arrogantly hanging up the phone.
Angrily, Ronin pounded the steering wheel, causing the car to emit a piercing honk.
Reluctantly, Ronin obeyed and then got out of the car. It took him about ten minutes to cover the remaining two miles and reach
his destination.
Upon Ronin’s arrival, Finn emerged from a corner and handed him a key. ”

The boss is waiting for you,” he said.
Ronin took the key and headed towards the bathhouse.
After finding the corresponding room, Ronin opened the door. A strong herbal scent filled the room as Black Robe lay on a
nearby massage bed, undergoing a steaming treatment.
“It’s getting hot. This is good for your health. Ronin, would you like to join?” Despite the man not even lifting his head, he knew it
was Ronin.
“Thank you, but I don’t need to,” Ronin declined the offer, concerned that his life might be in danger. He respectfully sat down in
front of the man and asked, “What do you need, Sir?
Black Robe said slowly, “I heard that Zobber had a falling out with you.”
Ronin got angry when he mentioned this, and he didn’t hide his inner rage. ” It’s more than just a falling out. She almost killed
me! I risked my life for you, and yet you framed me like this. Is that fair?” Ronin asked.
Black Robe casually asked Ronin, “Are you injured now? Or have you suffered any inhuman treatment?”
Ronin hadn’t, because before Zobber could harm him, Catherine arrived and stopped everything. “You work for me. I won’t let
anything happen to you. Everything is under my control, so rest assured!”
The relaxed and confident tone reminded Ronin of something. He frowned in surprise and looked at Black Robe. “So, you
provided Catherine with my location that day?”
Catherine came too timely, and Ronin always thought it was because Catherine knew everything about Zobber. He hadn’t
thought much about it at the time. Now, hearing Black Robe’s words, he couldn’t help but wonder.
Upon hearing Ronin’s question, Black Robe chuckled. “I told you that you’re smart. Just as I said, you guessed right. I gave the
location to Catherine. Now you understand, right? Nothing will happen to you.”
Ronin was secretly surprised. He had been followed for so long, and he hadn’t noticed at all. It was a total failure. He knew that
Black Robe must have other purposes for finding him today. He decided to ask proactively, ” Sir, what is the reason for finding
me today?”
