All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 681 Arrogant

Catherine sat in the quiet and cramped office with an imposing posture, playing games on her phone. Across from her sat the man assigned as the leader of the investigation team at Styre University, Lorcan Fitzpatrick.

As the youngest investigator in the entire procuratorate, Lorcan’s abilities were not to be underestimated.

Returning from studying in Alton, he was a top talent with dual degrees, specially recruited into the procuratorate. Despite his young age, he had an impressive track record and was hailed as a walking lie detector by the procuratorate. His exceptional psychological talent left no room for deception in his presence.

For over half an hour, Lorcan had been sitting face to face with Catherine, but this time, the usually unbeatable Lorcan was failing. He couldn’t read Catherine’s mind at all. In fact, in his opinion, Catherine seemed more like a psychological expert than he did.

Lorcan sighed deeply, hesitated for a long time, and decided to take the initiative, a first in his professional career.

“Miss Swann, don’t you want to talk to me about the leak? Or perhaps you want me to help clear your name?” he asked.

Catherine raised her head leisurely, her eyes cold and devoid of warmth as she replied, “Not interested.” Her face seemed to bear the word “arrogant” at this moment, exuding an overwhelming air of superiority.

Lorcan was furious, not someone who easily lost his temper. But the sense of powerlessness in front of Catherine made him feel extremely frustrated. It seemed that negotiation was futile. Taking a deep breath, he chose to persuade her.

“Miss Swann, I’ve heard you are Professor Hartley’s favorite student. You should be aware of his authority and reputation in the industry. Being his student and entering the lab at such a young age guarantee you a promising future. Don’t let this incident ruin your prospects.”

As Catherine’s game reached its final stage, the persistent annoyance buzzing in her ear tightened her furrowed brow even further. She was getting impatient, wondering why things were moving so slowly. “Do I have to do everything myself, even such a simple investigation?” she asked inwardly.
