All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 982 It's Hard to Go Out Catherine thought that everyone was just joking about supervising her to rest at home, but she didn't expect them to be very serious about it.

Ronin and the others were more diligent in supervising her to rest properly than in completing the tasks they had taken on.

After breakfast, Catherine had thought of going to the lab for a walk but was stopped by Karl. "Catherine, why don't you stay htoday? Branden will be back later. I asked him to cback and take a walk with you." Catherine smiled helplessly. Branden was at least the president of a listed group, but in Karl's eyes, he was just like a tool who had to go back from tto tto accompany her to take a walk or something else. "Mr. Karl, Branden still has a lot of things to do in the company." In front of Catherine, Karl could be amiable, but he was only amiable in front of Catherine alone.

At the mention of Branden, Karl's face immediately darkened a bit. "Hmph, how busy can he be? What can be more important than you? I think he's just doing nothing serious. Can't those people he hired do anything? Can't the company run without him?" Facing Karl's rising anger, Catherine chose to avoid it. She silently shut up and didn't continue.

It didn't take long for Ronin to arrive. " Ronin, think of a way to getout of here." Ronin looked at Catherine with an embarrassed look on his face. " Catherine, why don't you just stay home? Mr. Theo said it's best if you stay in your bed for the week. Don't mess around." Ronin was now Thomas' biggest fan. He did everything Thomas asked.

Catherine gave him a cold glance, which frightened Ronin and made him tremble. She begged Catherine with a mournful expression. "Catherine, don't make things difficult for me." "Okay, go away. I'll figure it out myself.

Upon hearing Catherine's words, Ronin's blood froze.

Although Karl was outside, he couldn't stop Catherine if she wanted to go out. No matter how Catherine went out, there was danger.

Catherine was very agile and there was a high probability that accidents would not occur, but no one could guarantee it.

Ronin had no choice but to agree. Instead of letting Catherine go out an unusual way, it would be better for him to step in and help her. “Don't be in a hurry. I'll help you distract Karl." Catherine narrowed her eyes and smiled, with a hint of triumph crossed her face. “Go ahead." Ronin pouted helplessly. In the end, he was the one who had to bear all of this. Karl now trusted Ronin very much because he thought Ronin was on the sside as him.

Easily, Ronin tricked Karl into leaving, and Catherine swaggered out of the apartment. The guards of the Duncan noticed it from the moment Catherine stepped out of the elevator.

They whispered and pushed each other, but no one dared to go forward.

"None of you are going to persuade Miss Swann? What if something happens later?" "Nonsense. What could happen? You just know how to blus. Why don't you go?" "I think we'd better inform Mr. Duncan.

Karl said Catherine's safety was now the priority of the Duncans and nothing was as important as Catherine.

Inside the meeting room of the Duncan Corporation, a serious international meeting was underway.

All those who were able to attend were among the business elites, and they were all listening intently to the report.

Suddenly, a clear ringtone broke the seriousness of the room.

The person who was speaking was startled. No one expected that someone could be so bold as to dare to leave their cell phones on in such an important meeting.

Just as the crowd was still wondering who would dare to commit such a heinous crime, Branden pulled out his cell phone from his pocket. His originally serious and cold expression instantly softened after he answered the phone. "You guys keep an eye on her. Don't disturb her. I'll be right back.

After hanging up the phone, he stood up and said to the crowd, "You guys continue, and make the minutes for me.

After that, Branden swaggered and left the meeting room, leaving all the senior executives behind.

The people left behind looked at each other in disbelief, not knowing what had happened to make Branden leave so quickly.

Paxton, who was silently taking the minutes of the meeting, was sighing. Judging from Branden's appearance, he knew without even thinking that it must be something about Catherine.

Only Catherine could make Branden care so much.

Paxton understood the special situation now. The Duncans were about to have a new member. Karl was happy, and everyone in the Duncans was also excited. So, it was okay for such a big event to delay swork.

After thinking it through, Paxton was instantly energized. "Continue the meeting. I'll do the minutes." Catherine made it out of the apartment without incident and headed straight toward the school. The air outside was fresh, and everything was so fresh.

She rushed downstairs to the experimental building only to find that her work permit couldn't open the gate of the building.

The security guard standing on the side immediately notified Marshall when he saw her. In just two minutes, Marshall hurriedly arrived.

When he saw Catherine, his face immediately sank. "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to cto the lab building?" Catherine froze for a moment. It was the first tshe had seen Marshall speak to her in such a tone. "Professor Hartley, did someone hackagain?" Catherine asked and then thought in her mind, "The last tsomeone hacked me, the school blocked my work permit. Could the situation be the sthis time?" Marshall didn't even let Catherine into the lab building. He led her outside. " There's a lot of radiation from sof the big machines in here. Don't you know that?"

In normal times, for the sake of experiments, for the sake of scientific research, they had to endure them damage caused by these radiations, but Catherine was in a special situation now. Even if she didn't think about herself, she had to think about the baby in her belly. The more Marshall spoke, the angrier he got. "Why don't you listen to me? Luckily, I had the foresight to have Ultan blocked your work permit." Catherine then realized it wasn't because she had been hacked, but because Marshall had blocked her work permit.

She was helpless. "Professor Hartley, I'm pregnant not dying. I don't need to be so cautious, do I?"

Leaving aside her already better health than the average person, even if an ordinary woman becm man pregnant most of them work as usual. If all the women in the world stopped working after getting pregnant, wouldn't this society be in chaos? Marshall persuaded her, "It's not that I don't let you cto the lab. Just don't cthis month. Wait until your physical condition stabilizes a bit." Catherine thought she was fine now, but the people around her didn't believe her. In the end, she was driven out of school by Marshall.

She let out a long sigh and walked in the direction of the school entrance.

She might have to be so bored for the next month.

Just as she reached the school entrance, she saw a familiar figure waiting there.

Catherine's heart was filled with anger. Those were all elders, and she had to respect theny but Branden wasn't. She felt that he cjust in tand could serve as a punching bag for her. So Catherine walked toward Branden in a rage. She didn't even get to Branden before Branden sensed her anger. He didn't hide or dodge, he just waited for her to come. In his mind, all that mattered was that Catherine was happy.
