Chapter 790 Carlo and Francis Came
Half an hour later, Carlo and Francis arrived at the factory. “Miss Swann!”
The two stood respectfully in front of Catherine, waiting for her orders.
Catherine glanced at the two and whispered, “This is the scene of the incident. I’ve 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.”
After Catherine gave a brief overview of the situation, Carlo and Francis started their arrangement.
Francis was the first to step forward. ” Miss Swann, I’m 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.”
“I’ll get someone to check and see if there’s any outside forces involved in Loxton recently,” 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 Francis’ desire to speak. She then stopped moving and raised her eyes toward Francis. “If you have something to say, just say it!”
Francis lowered his head and whispered, “Miss Swann, Mr. Duncan would prefer you not take risks. We’ll do everything we can to rescue Ronin, and Mr. Duncan will be here as soon as he’s finished his business in Casier.”
Both Carlo and Francis were well aware of how much Branden valued Catherine. If Catherine hadn’t strongly urged Branden not to come this time, he’d 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, “I’m returning to the laboratory, so keep me posted!”
They were delighted and immediately said respectfully to Catherine, “Okay!”
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. “Hey, what a surprise. You actually came to the laboratory so early.”
Hearing this, Catherine stopped what she was doing and looked toward Marshall.
Although she hadn’t rested the whole night, she was still in high spirits, and others couldn’t tell she hadn’t 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 didn’t 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 Catherine’s laboratory. Seeing that Catherine was still staring at the machine, Amelia knocked on the door and reminded her, “Super Catherine, it’s past noon. Are you coming with me to the canteen for dinner, or should I bring the lunch back to you?”
Amelia used to find it difficult to understand Catherine’s state of neglecting sleep and food for experiments. It wasn’t until she was immersed in the laboratory and even wished to live there that she fully understood Catherine.
Catherine rejected Amelia’s proposal. ” I’ll go out when the experiments are done here. You go ahead and have lunch.”
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 people’s 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 Amelia’s 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. “Hi, may I ask if Catherine is in this laboratory?”
Amelia froze at his question. She looked at Rylan with surprise and some uncertainty. “You know Catherine?”
Rylan nodded. “Yes, I’m here to see her. I heard she was inside the laboratory, but I couldn’t get in. Can you let her know I’m here for her?”
Amelia scrutinized Rylan’s appearance silently and sighed inwardly, “Sure enough, good-looking people make friends with good-looking people. All Super Catherine’s friends, regardless of gender, are outstanding in appearances.
“Miss…” Rylan shouted again before Amelia reacted.
She looked at him with an embarrassed face. “Sorry, I was just thinking about something. Just wait a minute. I’ll go in and get Catherine for you. She doesn’t even answer her phone when she’s doing experiments, so you won’t be able to find her.”
“Thanks a lot!” said Rylan.
Amelia was very impressed by Rylan’s politeness. Her cheeks blushed slightly as she turned and ran into the laboratory. “Super Catherine, there’s a handsome guy outside looking for you!”
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 man’s name.
She scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed. “I was so dazzled by that handsome guy. I forgot to ask him his name. Anyway, he’s 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.
“Catherine!” Rylan walked straight up when he saw Catherine appear.
Catherine didn’t expect Rylan to actually come to the school to find her, which was a bit of a surprise to her. ” Anything happened?”
Facing Catherine’s inquiry, Rylan shook her head. “No. 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 it’s noon, I plan to come find you for lunch.
“As 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.”
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 Catherine’s fame but because of Rylan’s handsome appearance.
Since Rylan had already come, Catherine naturally wouldn’t turn him away.
Since he wanted to have lunch with her, and it just so happened that she hadn’t had lunch, they came to have lunch together.
Catherine brought Rylan to the school’s canteen, The food there was good, at least clean and hygienic, compared to the restaurants outside.
Lunchtime had already passed, so there weren’t many people in the school canteen. Sensing Rylan’s gaze, Catherine looked at him indifferently and asked, “Don’t like the food here?”
Seeing that Catherine had already started eating, Rylan immediately nodded. “Yes, the food here is good. I just feel that there’s something different about you. You wouldn’t have eaten in such a public place before.”
“People always change!” Catherine responded coldly.
Upon hearing this, Rylan gave a faint smile, nodding in agreement. “That’s right. People change!”
Seeing that the atmosphere wasn’t right, Rylan changed the topic. “By the way, what about Ronin? I heard that he’s in the same school as you. I haven’t seen him for years. It’s not bad to see him.”
