All Her Secrets

Chapter 916 Playing Games with Cloude
At 7 p.m., Catherine arrived promptly at the entrance of the internet cafe. The current internet cafe was vastly different from the
one she frequented with Ronin. The equipment was more advanced, and the decor was more luxurious.
Catherine chose a VIP private room and headed straight for it. Upon reaching the door, she found it already open. The person
she was meeting had arrived before her and was waiting inside.
“Early as always!” Catherine’s voice echoed in the room. The man turned around slowly, his face unremarkable.
“Miss Swann, right on time,” Cloude remarked.
Catherine smirked subtly, her eyes carrying a hint of sarcasm. She raised an eyebrow at him. “Up for a game?”
Cloude seemed momentarily surprised by her suggestion. He chuckled. “I can play a bit, but I’m sure I can’t match your skills.”
Catherine pulled out a chair and sat down gracefully. “No worries. I don’t mind. Come on, play a few rounds with me. I’ll show
you how it’s done.”
Catherine was confident in her gaming abilities. When it came to gaming, she could outplay the best. She was second to none.
As she started her favorite game, she noticed Cloude hesitating. Not interested?” she asked.
Cloude smiled gently. “It’s not that. I don’t have an account for this game. I’m not sure how to register.”
Catherine saw through his attempt to conceal his thoughts. “Here, let me help you register a new account.”
In no time, Catherine set up a new account for Cloude, and they entered the game. Together, they breezed through the game
and effortlessly secured the championship in their first match.
Cloude complimented Catherine, You’re really good at gaming, much better than me!”
“Playing games is all about having fun! “Catherine looked at him disapprovingly. “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s continue
playing.”
Due to Catherine’s high rank, they were matched with top-tier gamers. The game terrain was unfavorable for Catherine’s team,
and they were at a disadvantage. To make matters worse, many opponents from the previous match seemed to deliberately wait
for Catherine’s team to join the game, and then they all ganged up on her.

Several teams joined forces to attack Catherine, who not only had to protect Cloude but also contend with the skilled players,
making it quite challenging.
Overwhelmed, Catherine was soon defeated. She protected Cloude by hiding him in a safe place and then diverted the enemies’
attention.
Three or four teams surrounded Catherine, but she took refuge on high ground, making it difficult for them to attack her.
Due to her strong combat abilities, they could only throw bombs and Molotov cocktails at her from a distance until she ran out of
ammunition, allowing them to move in for the attack.
As another bomb approached, Catherine had nowhere to retreat, and her health was down to half.
Hearing the chaotic footsteps below, Catherine knew they were preparing to attack. If they united, she would surely lose this
round.
As the footsteps drew closer, a sudden gunshot rang out, and the person at the forefront fell from a long-distance shot.
On the screen, Cloude’s gaming name flashed, and Catherine smirked without saying a word. Finally, he took action.
After the warning shot, everyone knew there were skilled players around and refrained from acting recklessly. This gave
Catherine the opportunity she needed. She took out one opponent, looted their gear, and launched a fierce attack. Soon, she
routed the impromptu team of opponents and emerged as the ultimate victor.
After the game, Catherine took off her headphones and turned to Cloude. Her beautiful eyes held a mysterious smile. “You
played well,” she said, with a look that made Cloude both infatuated and fearful to the extreme.
“It was just luck. Glad I could help you, ” he replied.
Catherine tossed the mouse and crossed her arms, staring at him. “Let’s stop playing and talk business,” she said.
“That was my intention,” Cloude admitted, relieved that Catherine had called a halt to everything.
Catherine was always direct and didn’t beat around the bush. “I received the message you had someone send me. I’ll show you
the sincerity you want, but can you give me what I want?” She presented the materials she had brought.
Cloude carefully examined the contents and looked up at Catherine with disbelief. “You’re really giving me these?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?” she replied, her eyes holding a hint of a smile.
Cloude carefully observed Catherine and was surprised by her immediate trust. It was as if she had been a trusted friend for
decades.
After inspecting the materials, Cloude looked at Catherine with solemnity. ” Since you’re so generous and trustworthy, we won’t
let you down. Wait for our good news, please,” he said earnestly.
“I hope you’ll keep your word,” Catherine retorted disdainfully before leaving.
As soon as she left the internet café, she received a mysterious phone call.
“Cassie, I’m here!” Thomas’s hearty laughter came through the phone.
Catherine’s mood was instantly lifted, and her face lit up with joy. “Have you arrived in Loxton? Where are you? I’ll come pick you
up!”
Thomas had been summoned by Catherine to Loxton, as she was worried about potential danger. Having Thomas in Loxton as a
guest would provide an extra layer of security in case of an emergency.
After receiving Thomas’s address and message, Catherine quickly got into her car. The black motorcycle sped like lightning,
leaving a brilliant trail in the dark night before disappearing.
