All Her Secrets



Chapter 962 Rylan's Bottom Line

"Catherine, hold on!" Rylan caught up with Catherine at the entrance of her office.

Catherine halted and turned to face him. She said coldly, "You can't just come and go as you please here, understand?"

Rylan paused and retreated his foot. The assistant by his side was stunned. It was the first time he witnessed someone treat Rylan like this, and oddly enough, Rylan didn't seem angry at all.

Catherine began packing up things she needed to take from her office. There weren't many things, and she quickly finished. Throughout this time, Rylan stood by the office door. He just waited quietly until Catherine came out.

Rylan caught up with her and said, "Catherine, I don't think you should compromise so easily. Not explaining things clearly may affect your reputation."

"It's my business, and you shouldn't interfere," Catherine replied coldly and then left the research building with her belongings.

Rylan followed her out. Even the assistant found him a bit too passionate, especially when Catherine didn't respond.

However, Rylan persisted, trailing her until they reached the school gate. There, they coincidentally encountered Branden.

Branden had rushed to the school upon receiving the news. He remained silent and took the items from Catherine's hands. "Go home and rest!"

Catherine nodded slightly and walked alongside Branden toward the car.

Witnessing this, Rylan felt a sharp pang in his heart. He thought coming quickly would be enough to win Catherine's favor, but she remained cold.

As Catherine was about to get into the car, Rylan couldn't hold back any longer. 'Catherine, you don't care about what others think. What about Professor Hartley? Aren't you concerned about him anymore?"

Catherine paused for a moment. It was clear that Rylan's words had affected her.

Branden, with his arm around Catherine, sensed her change. Before Catherine could respond, he turned back to Rylan and warned coldly, "Mr. Melton, as Catherine's fiancé, I will consider her affairs. No need for you to be here. If you have spare time, you should manage your own businesses, so they don't go bankrupt one day without you knowing.'

Last time Rylan lost a project worth several hundred million dollars after provoking Branden. Now he dared to provoke again. Branden wondered if Rylan had too much money or if he was out of his mind.

Rylan understood the warning in Branden's words, and his expression darkened. He wanted to approach, but his assistant discreetly held him back. Remaining calm was crucial at this moment. The assistant didn't want him to act impulsively.

Branden got into the car with Catherine, and then the car drove away. After that, the assistant cautiously asked, Mr. Melton, what should we do next?"

Rylan's face turned grim, and he replied coldly, "Back to the company." He needed to settle scores with someone.

Bang! The loud sound of the huge doors slamming open startled Selene, who was happily sipping her drink with a raised goblet. The red liquid in her cup splattered all over her expensive newly worn clothes.

Glancing at her ruined attire, Selene instantly exploded with anger. She raised her head to glare angrily at the intruder. "Mr. Melton, even if you're angry, can't you maintain some decorum? Bursting into my office abruptly, where are your basic manners?"

Rylan stared at Selene with a grim expression. Before Selene could speak again, Rylan grabbed her by the neck. He looked at her with his sharp eyes, exuding a chilling aura. "Did you forget my warnings?"  Update first at NôvelDráma. Org.

He exerted considerable force, causing Selene's face to contort in pain and turn bright red. She struggled to ask," Have you gone mad?"Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Rylan ignored Selene's suffering. He continued to tighten his grip and glared at her. "I told you not to touch Catherine, Did you hear me?'

Selene felt that Rylan had lost his mind. He genuinely seemed intent on killing her. Selene started to panic, but she refused to surrender. She remained defiant, hoping to make Rylan compromise.

Selene said, "Rylan, don't forget your position. Consider who we're working for. The head didn't say not to touch Catherine. As long as the final result benefits our entire project, you have to cooperate with me. If you dare harm me, the head will not let you off!"

Rylan no longer cared about much. Selene repeatedly challenged his authority. Now she dared to touch Catherine. They should know that Catherine was crucial to Rylan.

Today, Rylan decided to teach Selene a lesson, making those who attempted to touch Catherine aware of his bottom line.

Selene was being choked nearly to the point of suffocation. Her entire face turned extremely red, and she couldn't hold on much langer. She struggled frantically. Disregarding her image, she attempted to plead. In the face of death, she finally felt fear.

However, Rylan showed no intention of letting her go. The assistant, extremely anxious, tried to persuade Rylan, but it was useless.

Rylan seemed determined to kill Selene. Just when Selene was on the brink, the assistant contemplated knocking Rylan unconscious with a stick to save him.

At the critical moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Rylan, stop it!"

The angry voice brought Rylan back to his senses. He turned to see Aaron standing at the office door, glaring at him. "You brat, let go of her. Aren't you afraid of causing a death with your actions?"

Although Rylan didn't release his grip, he didn't exert force anymore.

Aaron rushed forward, forcefully pulling Rylan away with a stem expression. "No matter how angry you are now, you need to understand what you should do. Take it easy. Do you intend to sacrifice yourself to it, or do you believe you can control everything?"

Rylan finally came to his senses. At this moment, the assistant rushed forward and pulled Selene out.

Selene collapsed on the ground in a wretched state. She breathed heavily, struggling to inhale air. For a moment, she thought she was going to die. Rylan was truly terrifying. He was just like a devil.
