Chapter 790 Carlo and Francis Came
Half an hour later, Carlo and Francis arrived at the factory. âMiss Swann!â
The two stood respectfully in front of Catherine, waiting for her orders.
Catherine glanced at the two and whispered, âThis is the scene of the incident. Iâve checked. It was cleaned up again after we left, and no traces can be found. They took away Ronin. The important thing now is to get Ronin back.â
After Catherine gave a brief overview of the situation, Carlo and Francis started their arrangement.
Francis was the first to step forward. â Miss Swann, Iâm going to arrange for someone to check the surveillance video. The surveillance systems in this neighborhood are all newly installed this year. We might be able to find useful clues.â
âIâll get someone to check and see if thereâs any outside forces involved in Loxton recently,â Carlo said.
Catherine had no objections to the arrangement of the two, so she let them take action.
As Catherine was about to leave, she sensed Francisâ desire to speak. She then stopped moving and raised her eyes toward Francis. âIf you have something to say, just say it!â
Francis lowered his head and whispered, âMiss Swann, Mr. Duncan would prefer you not take risks. Weâll do everything we can to rescue Ronin, and Mr. Duncan will be here as soon as heâs finished his business in Casier.â
Both Carlo and Francis were well aware of how much Branden valued Catherine. If Catherine hadnât strongly urged Branden not to come this time, heâd probably be on the plane to Loxton right now.
They knew that Branden would only be okay as long as Catherine was okay.
Catherine said, âIâm returning to the laboratory, so keep me posted!â
They were delighted and immediately said respectfully to Catherine, âOkay!â
After Catherine returned from the factory, she came straight to the laboratory.
Marshall was a bit surprised to see Catherine in the laboratory early in the morning, so he went up to her and started to joke with her. âHey, what a surprise. You actually came to the laboratory so early.â
Hearing this, Catherine stopped what she was doing and looked toward Marshall.
Although she hadnât rested the whole night, she was still in high spirits, and others couldnât tell she hadnât slept all night.
Catherine pursed her lips lightly and signaled, then lowered her head and continued working:
Seeing that she was working hard, Marshall only thought she was there so early to make up for the progress she had missed in the previous period. He didnât bother her anymore and turned around to his own office.
Catherine concentrated on her experiment. She was utterly unaffected by external influences, and nothing seemed to have happened.
Under her state of concentration, time passed especially fast.
In the blink of an eye, it was already пооп.
Amelia passed by Catherineâs laboratory. Seeing that Catherine was still staring at the machine, Amelia knocked on the door and reminded her, âSuper Catherine, itâs past noon. Are you coming with me to the canteen for dinner, or should I bring the lunch back to you?â
Amelia used to find it difficult to understand Catherineâs state of neglecting sleep and food for experiments. It wasnât until she was immersed in the laboratory and even wished to live there that she fully understood Catherine.
Catherine rejected Ameliaâs proposal. â Iâll go out when the experiments are done here. You go ahead and have lunch.â
Hearing that Catherine had her own arrangements, Amelia left on her own. Amelia saw a particularly handsome- looking man right after leaving the laboratory.
That man was the kind of handsome man who would catch peopleâs attention at a glance in any group of people.
Amelia felt that this man was as handsome as Branden. The most attractive thing about him was his aura, just like a prince coming out of a fairy tale.
Perhaps because Ameliaâs gaze was too hot, the handsome man noticed her and walked straight toward her.
This startled Amelia. Her heart almost stopped beating, and she froze in place, forgetting to move.
Rylan came straight to her. His lips curved slightly upward, and his smile was kind and polite. âHi, may I ask if Catherine is in this laboratory?â
Amelia froze at his question. She looked at Rylan with surprise and some uncertainty. âYou know Catherine?â
Rylan nodded. âYes, Iâm here to see her. I heard she was inside the laboratory, but I couldnât get in. Can you let her know Iâm here for her?â
Amelia scrutinized Rylanâs appearance silently and sighed inwardly, âSure enough, good-looking people make friends with good-looking people. All Super Catherineâs friends, regardless of gender, are outstanding in appearances.
âMissâ¦â Rylan shouted again before Amelia reacted.
She looked at him with an embarrassed face. âSorry, I was just thinking about something. Just wait a minute. Iâll go in and get Catherine for you. She doesnât even answer her phone when sheâs doing experiments, so you wonât be able to find her.â
âThanks a lot!â said Rylan.
Amelia was very impressed by Rylanâs politeness. Her cheeks blushed slightly as she turned and ran into the laboratory. âSuper Catherine, thereâs a handsome guy outside looking for you!â
Catherine froze for a moment and looked at Amelia with a puzzled look in her eyes.
Amelia then realized she had just run so fast that she had forgotten to ask the handsome manâs name.
She scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed. âI was so dazzled by that handsome guy. I forgot to ask him his name. Anyway, heâs a very handsome guy. You go out and take a look yourself.
Upon hearing this, Catherine put down the work in her hands and slowly walked toward the door.
She had also been ready to leave, so she decided to take a look.
âCatherine!â Rylan walked straight up when he saw Catherine appear.
Catherine didnât expect Rylan to actually come to the school to find her, which was a bit of a surprise to her. â Anything happened?â
Facing Catherineâs inquiry, Rylan shook her head. âNo. I just happened to finish handling the matters. I want to come to your school to take a look and learn about your studying environment. Now that itâs noon, I plan to come find you for lunch.
âAs I imagined, Catherine, you are very eye-catching wherever you go. I was told where you were just by mentioning your name, and someone even took the initiative to bring me here.â
Due to the competition in Alton, Catherine became famous in the school, and it could be said that she was well-known to everyone.
However, those people willing to take the initiative to guide Rylan might not be because of Catherineâs fame but because of Rylanâs handsome appearance.
Since Rylan had already come, Catherine naturally wouldnât turn him away.
Since he wanted to have lunch with her, and it just so happened that she hadnât had lunch, they came to have lunch together.
Catherine brought Rylan to the schoolâs canteen, The food there was good, at least clean and hygienic, compared to the restaurants outside.
Lunchtime had already passed, so there werenât many people in the school canteen. Sensing Rylanâs gaze, Catherine looked at him indifferently and asked, âDonât like the food here?â
Seeing that Catherine had already started eating, Rylan immediately nodded. âYes, the food here is good. I just feel that thereâs something different about you. You wouldnât have eaten in such a public place before.â
âPeople always change!â Catherine responded coldly.
Upon hearing this, Rylan gave a faint smile, nodding in agreement. âThatâs right. People change!â
Seeing that the atmosphere wasnât right, Rylan changed the topic. âBy the way, what about Ronin? I heard that heâs in the same school as you. I havenât seen him for years. Itâs not bad to see him.â
