All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 478 Ravenloth

After hearing that, Catherine thought inwardly, “Ravenloth?”

Ravenloth was a small country on the eastern ocean. It might be tiny in size and population, but this

place was loaded.

Thanks to its vast mineral resources, each year, the revenue from these resources alone was enough

to make the people of this country prosperous.

But Catherine couldn’t care less about this news.

After all, she was in such high demand worldwide. If she met with everyone who wanted to see her, she

would run herself ragged.

If it weren’t for Withal’s call, Catherine wouldn’t pay any attention.

She nonchalantly asked, “What’s the deal?”

“They didn’t specify,” Withal replied and chuckled. He looked quite pleased as he said, “But our

intelligence network is top-notch. I’ve already dug up some information. It seems that the royal family of

Ravenloth suddenly contracted a mysterious illness. It has affected over a hundred of its members.

They want you to help.”

Upon hearing that, Catherine couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“If they’re sick, they should see a doctor. I’m not a medical expert. Why come to me?”

At first, Withal thought the same way. After he delved deeper into the situation, he realized their true

aim.



“Catherine, this might not be an ordinary illness. The king of Ravenloth suspects it’s a special virus,

and they need an expert in bioresearch.”

Who was the most powerful and least business-oriented bioresearch expert globally?

It was none other than Catherine.

Even so, Catherine showed no interest and responded coldly, “I’m not interested.”

After saying that, she was about to hang up.

Withal sensed Catherine’s intention and quickly stopped her.

“Catherine, the king of Ravenloth is willing to offer a gold mine as a reward. Catherine paused for a

moment before hanging up the phone. She asked, ”

How much gold does it contain?”

Withal couldn’t contain his excitement and raised his voice as he replied, “The gold it contains is at

least enough to rank among the top ten globally!”

This time, the king of Ravenloth was really going all-in. He had no choice but to offer a generous

reward. In just three days, over a hundred royal members had fallen ill.

If this continued, the entire royal family of Ravenloth would be wiped out, and all the gold mines would

be worthless for them.

Catherine thought about the call she’d received from Rodge about the tight finances in her lab. After

that, Catherine couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed like raising people was a costly endeavor, and she had

quite a few under her care.



“I’ll get in touch with you once I decide the time,” she said. Fearing that Catherine might change her

mind, Withal quickly agreed. He replied, “Alright.”

This time, before Catherine could hang up, Withal quickly ended the call and didn’t give her any chance

to say another word.

After the call ended, Catherine casually tossed her phone aside.

She continued to lie on the sofa and even didn’t bother to move her eyes. Half an hour later, Branden

returned to the apartment.

As he pushed the door open, the warm yellow light inside brightened his mood. He realized that

Catherine hadn’t left her spot and had been staying there for three days. She even didn’t feel bored.

After entering the living room, he saw Catherine lounging in a relatively carefree posture.

He hadn’t made any extra effort to be quiet when he came in, so Catherine must have known he was

home, but she was just too lazy to move.

Branden took off his jacket and undid the rather awkward tie he’d been wearing all day with his slender

fingers.

This tie was one that Catherine had personally tied for him before he left this morning. He wondered

why she suddenly felt compelled to help him with his tie.

It was clear that it was her first time, as her hands weren’t very skilled, and after a while, it ended up

looking quite strange.

However, Branden didn’t mind. He wore the awkward tie to the company without any complaints.

Today, they had their semi-annual quarterly meeting, and besides the local company’s top

management, there were members from various overseas subsidiaries.



Everyone saw Branden sitting in the chairman’s seat, listening to the meeting, and wearing a tie that

was somewhat peculiar in shape.

Word had spread that Branden had gotten engaged and had a beautiful fiancée. Now, everyone knew

that Branden’s fiancée was not very skilled at tying ties. Branden waited for a while, but Catherine

remained laid back. She showed no intention of moving.

He had no choice but to approach her himself. Then he carefully lifted Catherine’s head and placed her

body on his thighs.

“Are you hungry?”

His attractive voice was incredibly gentle.

Catherine let out a lazy grunt and rejected Branden’s offer. She was well on her way to being fed like a

pig by Branden. She lay around all day without moving a muscle. She wasn’t hungry at all.

Catherine had just calculated the time in her head and figured she could set a date.

“Two days from now, I need to go out.”

“Where are you going?”

Branden was genuinely relieved that Catherine was now willingly discussing her whereabouts and

didn’t leave without a word.

He was pleased that his efforts had finally paid off after all this time.

Catherine hadn’t initially wanted to say anything. However, she didn’t know how long this trip would

take. Fearing Branden might be upset and make trouble like last time, she decided it was best to speak

up.



“Ravenloth.”

As soon as Catherine mentioned it, Branden realized the situation and frowned.

“Ravenloth Palace?”

From his tone, Catherine could tell that he’d received the information.

Given the magnitude of the situation in Ravenloth Palace, they were probably actively inviting experts

worldwide to Ravenloth to assist them. It was no surprise that Branden had access to this information.

Branden was the chief of the Red Star. If he couldn’t even receive this kind of intelligence, Catherine

would start doubting his capabilities.

“Yes. I’m going to take a look,” Catherine responded.

Branden had received the information last night. Although Ravenloth was not a large country, it had

economic ties with many top nations worldwide.

If the Ravenloth royal family had a problem, it could potentially trigger a global catastrophe.

The situation in Ravenloth was currently shrouded in mystery, and going in could be very dangerous.

Thinking of all this, Branden made up his mind.

“I’ll accompany you the day after tomorrow.”

Catherine was a bit surprised and opened her eyes to look at him inquisitively. “You’re going too?”

Branden nodded. “I’ll be there with you.



Since he couldn’t stop Catherine, he would at least be there with Catherine. He would have less to

worry about when Catherine was around him. Seeing his firm resolve and seriousness, Catherine had

no choice but to agree.

“As you wish.”

The Duncan Corporation had numerous branches worldwide. Branden had a lot of work to deal with

each day, much of which had been prearranged.

He made a sudden decision to go to Ravenloth and didn’t know how many days it would take.

He had to make sure the Duncan Corporation’s work was delegated properly in advance. So he could

accompany Catherine to Ravenloth without worries.

Despite his busy schedule, he also took the time to prepare food for Catherine and watched her eat.

Catherine didn’t like taking medicine, so he made sure she took her medicine before going to work.

On this matter, Catherine couldn’t resist him, so she decided to go along with his plans.

She thought to herself, “Taking medicine is no big deal, especially when it’s right in front of me.”

With a gulp, she raised her head, closed her eyes, and took the medicine.

“I took it.”

After that, Catherine handed the empty cup to Branden.

Branden took it and gently stroked Catherine’s head.

“Be good. I’ll go work for a bit.”



Catherine gave him an annoyed sidelong glance. She felt he was treating her like a three-year-old he

needed to soothe.
