All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 162 Conditions
Catherine’s conditions were not challenging. She sat with her hands folded on the table, emanating a cold aura. Her cold and
distant gaze lingered on Korbin casually, but it brought Korbin an inexhaustible sense of oppression, making him instinctively feel
a kind of fear toward Catherine.
“First of all, someone needs to be held accountable for this. But it’s definitely not me who should take responsibility. It should be
those guys from the Student Union. I can just let go of it. The rest is left to them.”
Korbin hesitated momentarily, fully aware that this might be the Wales’ bottom line. The bottom line for the Wales was to protect
Nash and ensure that he was not heavily influenced. As for how to operate and at what cost, it was something only the Wales
themselves could determine.
After careful consideration, Korbin nodded in agreement and said, “Okay, I agree to this condition. So, what is the second
condition?”
Korbin agreed readily. Catherine also did not beat around the bush and directly stated the second condition. “Give Audrey the
treatment she deserves!”
The children of the Swanns were entitled to a share of dividends from the Swann Corporation as established at the time of their
birth.
This amount of money was insignificant compared to the vast wealth of the Swanns. However, it would be enough to cover the
monthly income if they were in an ordinary family.
There were only two who didn’t enjoy this treatment in the Swanns. One was Catherine, who was abandoned in the countryside
since childhood, and the other was Audrey. Audrey initially enjoyed all of this, but from the moment she was kicked out of the
Swanns’, Korbin took it all back.
Upon hearing this condition, Korbin was a bit surprised. He originally thought that Catherine would fight for her own benefit, but
he didn’t expect her to be sticking up for Audrey instead.
Thinking about having to spend more money, and on top of that, on a useless and disobedient daughter, Korbin felt a little
distressed. However, the benefits from the Wales were more cost-effective.
“Okay, I agree!”

Seeing how readily Korbin agreed, Catherine guessed that the Wales must have spent a fortune this time. After examining the
information found by Ronin, Catherine concluded that there was no stain on Nash.
Her younger sister, on the other hand, was quite greedy. With the thought of Liana’s reaction in the afternoon, Catherine had a
clear understanding in her heart.
“The Wales boy seemed quite sentimental,” said she inwardly. Korbin found it irritating to see Catherine now that all the tasks
had already been completed.
He didn’t want to see Catherine’s loathsome face for even a moment longer, so he waved his hand at her directly, trying to drive
her away.
“Okay, you can leave now!”
He was unwilling to see Catherine. Catherine was also reluctant to stay. Before he could even finish his sentence, Catherine
stood up and left without saying a word, displaying an arrogant expression on her face.
Korbin was so angry that he forcefully slammed the coffee cup on the ground, making a loud noise. The security guard outside
the door entered immediately to check the situation.
With a stern expression, Korbin glared angrily at the bodyguard and commanded, “Call my assistant Rusty Hunt and instruct him
to keep a close eye on Catherine. We can’t afford any mistakes!”
Although he knew there was not the slightest possibility, Korbin still felt uneasy in his heart. With just over half a month left, he
did not want to stir up trouble. When the half month was over, he would let everyone know who was the ruler of the Swanns.
Catherine got out of the study. As she turned the corner of the hallway, she caught sight of Audrey, whose back was turned to
her.
From Audrey’s back, it could be observed that she seemed to be quite nervous. Catherine stepped forward, intending to call out
to Audrey, but to her surprise, Audrey turned around.
It seemed that Audrey was caught off guard when Catherine appeared suddenly, which caused her to startle and freeze for a
moment. A few seconds later, Audrey came to her senses.
She rushed forward directly, anxiously reaching out to grab Catherine’s arm. She checked Catherine up and down repeatedly,
saying, “Kathy, are you okay? Did your father lay a hand on you?

Catherine’s mind went blank momentarily as she stared into Audrey’s eyes, lost in thought. Seeing her blank eyes and
unfocused gaze, Audrey was really startled. She exclaimed anxiously, “Oh dear, why aren’t you speaking? You’re making me
extremely worried. Do you know?”
Catherine snapped out of it and regained her focus. She was staring at Audrey with a heated gaze and with some intriguing
thoughts in mind. “I’m fine. Let’s go. We’ll talk more at your place!”
“Are you really okay? Why did I hear the sound of things being smashed inside?” Audrey still felt uneasy and looked at Catherine
with an anxious expression.
Catherine looked at her with a serious expression and emphasized. “I’m sure I’m fine. My father didn’t hit me. He just smashed
things in his study.” After confirming several times, Audrey finally let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s fortunate that he didn’t hit you. Let him smash things if he loves to do so. After all, the Swanns have plenty of money. It’s not
a big deal for them.
“Since you’re okay, let’s go. Lest some people go crazy and target you again!” said she. After Catherine was taken away, Audrey
specifically got the details from Liana.
According to Liana, Catherine pissed off the Wales. So, Korbin wanted to give her a lesson and give an explanation to the Wales.
How could Audrey not know Catherine?
“Catherine had always maintained a composed demeanor and avoided causing trouble. It must be that boy from the Wales who
provoked her first. How dare he play the victim before the wronged party?” said Audrey inwardly.
Although she knew it had nothing to do with Catherine, Audrey also understood her father’s personality. “Even if it were Liana, he
wouldn’t care, let alone Catherine, who had never been favored since childhood.
“Since the Wales had come knocking on our door, it was certain that it pertained to the interests of both families. At such times,
Korbin would not hesitate to sacrifice Catherine,” said Audrey inwardly.
Therefore, she was so worried about Catherine. Now, Catherine had finally come out unharmed. Audrey’s anxious heart could
finally rest easy.
Watching Audrey rushing around and even reminding her to fasten her seat belt before they got in the car, Catherine couldn’t
help but laugh helplessly. “Wow, Audrey, you’re really like a babysitter!”

Upon hearing this, Audrey instantly cast a seemingly angry gaze at Catherine, assuming a commanding boss demeanor.
“Miss, how dare you make fun of your sister? Do you believe I will teach you a lesson later and make you cry?”
With a nod of her head, Catherine surrendered by raising her hands, indicating her fear. Audrey happily withdrew her hand, and
the two siblings joyfully left the Swanns.
As they disappeared into the distance, Liana, who had been observing everything from a corner, finally emerged. She gazed
fixedly in the direction where Catherine and Audrey had disappeared, her cold eyes filled with deep hatred.
“Performing sisterhood in front of me? Do they think I would be envious?
“It’s really ridiculous! “Just two pitiful people comforting each other. I don’t care a bit,” said she inwardly. At Audrey’s apartment.
As soon as Catherine arrived, she walked into the room before Audrey could pull her in for a chat. Audrey anxiously chased after
Kathy, yelling, “What are we eating tonight? Are we going out or ordering takeout?”
Catherine responded casually, ” Whatever, I don’t mind!”
Concluding, she added, “I’m going to do my homework inside. Call me later!” After the door was closed, Audrey finally realized.
“Why is Catherine so diligent today? “Doesn’t she even bother to bring her textbooks back with her usually?” thought she.
However, she paid no heed to these matters. She needed to focus on resolving the predicament of arranging dinner for them.
Since Catherine needed to do her homework, they would not go out.
Audrey would love to cook, but she was not confident in her cooking skills, let alone serving it to Catherine. To not hurt
Catherine’s stomach, she ordered food for delivery.
