All Her Secrets

They were playing one of Storm’s classic survival games where a hundred people form teams and fight to be the last surviving squad.

Catherine was the captain and sniper of Bryan’s team. Under her leadership, their squad was unbeatable, and notifications of them killing the enemies covered their screen.

Watching Catherine take down an enemy with a long-range sniper rifle, Bryan couldn’t help. but exclaim, “Boss, you’re a sniper god. That was absolutely amazing!”

David nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Our strategy is working incredibly well. It’s like we are just waiting for the fish to bite. These people don’t stand a chance at all. We can wipe them. out completely.”

Earlier, their team accidentally stumbled upon an airdrop. At first, they were excited and wanted to claim it, but Catherine stopped them. Instead, she had everyone surround the airdrop and hide well. The team waited for their enemies to show up and sneak upon them.

Catherine was responsible for setting up a sniping point on the highest mountain in the southwest, while Bryan and the others fired near the airdrop to use the gunshots to attract the enemy.

Their plan worked, and they attracted many enemies-five teams in total-all of whom had been sniped by Catherine.

Her aim was perfect. Every time a gunshot sounded, someone would be killed. Not a single bullet was wasted. The opposing teams also had snipers, and this was a high-level game where everyone was skilled. However, compared to Catherine, they were nothing but trash. They couldn’t even locate Catherine’s position and were eliminated without a fight.

Bryan, known for his aggressive fighting style, experienced the feeling of being protected for the first time while following Catherine. He didn’t need to do much at all. All he did was kept cheering for Catherine, “Boss, you’re the best!”

Catherine also made these boys rethink their perception of female gamers. They used to look down on girls playing games, but Catherine completely outshone them this time. They realized that girls could also dominate a game if she’s good at it.

In the game, the last person standing was an expert.

Bryan’s team searched everywhere but couldn’t find this person. They must have hidden themselves very well and planned on sneaking up on Bryan’s team.

Catherine drove to the vantage point.

After scanning around, she spotted an area with slightly different colors beneath a grove of trees in the distance. It turned out to be a person in a ghillie suit!

Catherine had a lazy and casual expression, but her eyes were cold, revealing a hint of pride and mischief in her character.

After spotting her target, Catherine’s slightly pursed lips twisted into a wicked smile. She slowly pulled the trigger!

Bang!

The game ended while the gunshot was still echoing.

For a moment, Bryan and the others didn’t realize what had happened.

The game ended just like that?

It seemed too fast. Typically, a match should last at least thirty minutes, but Catherine had ended it in fifteen, cutting the average gameplay time in half.

When everybody woke up from the stupor, their cheers for Catherine echoed in the room like the tide.

Boss, that was awesome!”

“From now on, you are my absolute idol!”

Branden walked into the hall and was swept away by the uproar.

Branden furrowed his brows, hearing the cheers, and an annoyed look appeared on his handsome face.

“It’s just a birthday party. Why the uproar?” Branden thought to himself.

A group of bored girls first noticed Branden. They had all heard of this head of the Duncans but had never seen him in person.

Suddenly seeing such a handsome and extraordinary man, the girls at the scene instantly became excited.

Everyone tried to put their best foot forward, waiting for the man to show some interest in them.

The moment Branden appeared, Liana’s eyes lit up. She never expected to have such a pleasant surprise today, meeting Branden. She was glad that she had dressed up well before she came to the party. “This time, I can definitely leave a good impression on Branden,” Liana thought.

Although Branden was engaged to Catherine, Liana believed that Branden definitely deserved better. She knew he wouldn’t be attracted to such a country girl as Catherine.

“As long as I can become Mrs. Duncan, nobody at Casier can challenge me. Not Catherine, not anybody else,” Liana thought.

The commotion on the girls’ side also drew the attention of Bryan and his party. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Branden walking toward them.

Branden’s authoritative gaze made everyone instinctively stand to the sides to make way for him, and they greeted him respectfully with their eyes.

Bryan was late with a few people to notice Branden. When he looked back and saw Branden, he was absolutely astonished.

“Why is third uncle back?” Bryan wondered.

Just as Bryan was about to speak, he was silenced by a cold gaze from Branden.

The crowd quieted down, and a weird atmosphere enveloped the room.

Catherine was looking at the monitor as the room quieted down. Feeling a bit tired, she was just about to take a break.

Suddenly, a shadow cast over her, and she instinctively turned around. She didn’t expect to see a handsome face behind her at that moment, just a little bit away from their faces meeting.

All the people in the room gasped together. They all held their breath, and no one dared to speak.

Catherine reacted quickly. She tapped her foot lightly on the ground and slid back half an inch in her swivel chair, instantly creating a distance between herself and Branden. She raised an eyebrow, looked up at the man who appeared suddenly, and asked without putting much thought, “Why are you here?”

A meaningful smile hinting at something appeared on Branden’s face, his lips slightly curved.

That was a silly question. This was the Duncans’. Branden had every right to appear at his own home.

Catherine casually put away the mouse on the desk.

Then she stood up, walked to the sofa, and collapsed. She didn’t care about her posture and lay on the couch looking exhausted.

Her carefree attitude clearly meant she didn’t take anyone present seriously. She was only doing this because it pleased her.

Paxton suddenly appeared at the door, diverting Branden’s attention.

Branden glanced at Catherine, stood up, and walked toward Paxton.

Paxton whispered to Branden, “Sir, Sugar’s IP has logged out. It disappeared from the Duncans ‘half an hour ago, and now we have found multiple logins spread throughout the entire Casier. There are no patterns to be identified. We suspect that Sugar’s earlier appearance at the Duncans’ was a smoke bomb deliberately released.”

To put it simply, Sugar had been teasing them all along.

Paxton was beyond angry. “The Duncans have an impeccable intelligence network. How did this person get around it just like that? Damn this hacker,” he thought.

“Sir, what should we do next?”

Branden answered coldly, “Give it time.

At a glance, Catherine saw Paxton reporting to Branden. She could roughly guess what Paxton was reporting to Branden. When Catherine was logging into her gaming account earlier, she forgot to hide

her IP address.

Shortly after, she received a text message from Ronin, so she took measures to create a smoke screen and hide herself. “It’s not that easy to catch me,” Catherine thought.
