Chapter 872 He Betrayed You

Not long after Amelia left, Zobber urgently called Catherine. Catherine glanced at her cell phone. She didn’t want to connect it, but eventually picked the call up.

Zobber said, “Catherine, have you seen the news? Mr. Duncan’s collaboration with the Breens was actually officially announced.”

Although they had received the news before, Zobber was still shocked when it was announced.

In her mind, she asked, “What kind of business is it to make Mr. Duncan willing to pay such a high price? He’s made the Duncan Corporation a target of criticism this time.”

“Amelia just showed me the news. You called just for that?”

Noticing some impatience in Catherine’s voice, Zobber immediately hung up. “Catherine, now that you know it, I’ll let you do your things. You continue working. I’m hanging up.”

Hearing the beep sound of the phone hanging up from the other end of the line, Catherine’s brows furrowed as she thought in her mind, “Looks like they’re pretty idle. It’s time to get them some work.”

Catherine spent a peaceful afternoon in the lab as she dropped her cell phone in her office. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

By the end of the afternoon, she had just stepped out of the door of the lab when she was stopped in her tracks. ” Catherine, why don’t you answer my calls? I was trying to contact you.”

Catherine gave Rylan a cold glance and pointed to herself, asking, “Do you see me having a place to put my cell phone?

Catherine was wearing special lab coveralls. There were no pockets and there really wasn’t a place to put her cell phone.

She was in the lab and Rylan couldn’t reach her, so he personally came to the lab.

The lab room that Catherine was in was the key of the key, and it was hard for outsiders to get in. Even if Rylan had sponsorship status, he could only wait outside the lab room.

Catherine didn’t want to explain too much to him because she felt it was unnecessary. “What do you want? Why don’t you just tell me directly?”

Rylan said, “Let’s find a place to talk.”

Catherine walked toward the lab room with Rylan following close behind.

Just as they went in, Rylan couldn’t wait but say, “Catherine, didn’t you see what Branden did? He betrayed you. He’s an evil capitalist.”

Catherine laughed softly.

Rylan looked at her in disbelief. He didn’t understand why Catherine was laughing.

In his mind, he asked, “What’s so funny about what I said? Wasn’t what I said the truth?”

After that, he asked, “Catherine, why are you laughing like that?”

Catherine glared coldly at him. “You have the nerve to call Branden an evil capitalist. What about you? You’re funny!”

Rylan’s face became incredibly embarrassed as a result, and he didn’t expect Catherine to still trust Branden at this point. “No matter what, now Branden’s cooperation with the Breens is an ironclad fact. Catherine, do you still want to continue the relationship with him? Didn’t you say that you hate being betrayed?”

Catherine tapped on her cell phone and the printer on the side started working.

Rylan was enraged by Catherine’s attitude. He looked at Catherine with an incredulous face. “Are you even in

the mood to work right now?”

“Why don’t you take a look at my printout before you say anything?” Catherine replied. Rylan glanced at her suspiciously, then turned to pick up the printout on the printer and checked it.

The moment he read the contents, his eyes couldn’t help but widen a bit.

He turned his head to Catherine, his face full of undisguised surprise. ” Catherine, what…”

Catherine’s expression became cold and she looked at him with cold eyes. Rylan, did you ever think about what you did when you said Branden was an evil capitalist? Has your family worked with the Breens any less? Isn’t this considered a betrayal?”

Facing Catherine’s questioning, Rylan tried his best to explain. “Catherine, this is the family’s cooperation. It has nothing to do with me. I have no…”

Catherine raised her hand to stop his incessant chatter. That wasn’t what she wanted to hear. “It’s fine. Don’t bother me here. Go away!”

Rylan originally wanted to make Catherine see Branden’s true colors through this incident, but to his surprise, Catherine had actually found out about his family’s cooperation with the Breens. “Catherine, I know I should feel ashamed about that, but you have to believe me. It’s done by my family. It has nothing to do with me.”

Rylan walked out of the lab full of chagrin, but when he got in the car, he changed his expression immediately.

Seeing this, his assistant couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Mr. Melton, is it okay for Miss Swann to find out about these?”

“Humph!” Rylan sneered. “It was not me who did it. Why is it not okay?”

He thought to himself, “These have nothing to do with me at all. It’s all my family’s cooperation. Why should I be blamed for these? Besides, if Catherine can even forgive the Duncan Corporation for partnering with the Breens, then why can’t she forgive me?

The assistant was secretly relieved. He was really worried that Catherine would get angry with their boss, and every time Catherine got angry, the ones who would end up suffering would be them.

He didn’t want to work with trepidation, so he wanted his boss to stay in a pleasant mood. “Mr. Melton, in that case, should we deal with the Duncan Corporation?”

Rylan, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes when he heard this. He scared the assistant to shut his mouth immediately. Rylan then said in a deep voice, “Arrange it!”

“Okay, Mr. Melton.”

“Catherine, aren’t you going back to rest yet?” Marshall passed by Catherine’s office and saw that the lights were still on. He poked his head in to take a look, but to his surprise, Catherine was still working hard.

Upon hearing Marshall’s voice, Catherine slowly looked up. “Professor Hartley, I still have some literature to cross-reference. I’ll go back when I’m done.”

“Don’t stay up too late. Don’t stay up late just because you’re young. I’m accompanying my wife on a trip to Winston’s. Don’t make me worry,” Marshall reminded.

There was still no news about Winston. They had been close friends for years and Marshall had to be there to visit Winston and see if there was anything he could do to help and take care of.

Catherine nodded and comforted him. ”

Well, okay. You don’t have to worry too much about Professor Warner. He’ll be fine.”

It was rare to hear comforting words from Catherine, and Marshall inexplicably felt some sense of relief. ” Alright, I know it. Remember to go back early.”

Speaking of this, Marshall felt it was funny. As a teacher, he often asked his students to work hard, but in front of Catherine, he constantly reminded her to pay attention to her health and work less overtime.

It wasn’t long after Marshall left that Catherine packed up and left work.

She knew Marshall would be back later if she didn’t leave.

“Kathy.” A familiar voice stopped Catherine in her tracks as she had just walked out of the lab building.

She looked up to see Branden standing in a position not far ahead of her with one hand in his pocket. On his handsome face, there was a hint of bitterness in his smile, and his gaze was not as firm as before.

He wanted to go forward, but when he saw Catherine frowning, he hesitated and then stopped.

Seeing that, Catherine took the initiative to walk toward him.
