All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 232 Exercise
Catherine lowered her head to glance at her hand, which had not a single scratch but was slightly reddened.
Upon gazing at the gloomy yet handsome face before her, she saw the man who seemed capable of destroying the world at any
moment and chuckled silently. Feeling her laughing, Branden raised his head and gave her a displeasing stare as a warning.
“What do you mean by laughing when I ask why you are doing it yourself?”
Catherine casually waved her wrist. Her expression seemed lazy and relaxed. “I have nothing else to do, so I’m just stretching
my muscles a bit.”
“Stretching muscles?” said Aidan inwardly. Upon hearing these words, Aidan, who stood on one side, was shocked. Although his
strength was average, he had received a lot of training since childhood and gained some insights into fighting.
The duel between Catherine and the two experts just now was not just an exercise but a life-and-death fight, where Catherine
ruthlessly dominated the two. He had never seen a girl who could fight so well before.
Catherine’s combat skills completely shocked Aidan. He pulled on Triston’s sleeve quietly, suppressing his amazement and
saying in a low voice,” Damn, Catherine is such a strong figure. Did she pretend to be weak to make fun of us before?”
Triston glanced sideways, casting a disdainful and cold gaze at Aidan, saying, “You realized it now?”
When they were in Charm Bar, Catherine displayed an impressive performance by single-handedly taking on multiple opponents.
The incident today was only a minor event. Aidan was left dumbfounded.
After confirming that Catherine was unharmed, Branden took the initiative to take her hand and turned to look at Paxton beside
him.
A glance from Branden was all it took to grasp his intention immediately. After Paxton’s order, two men appeared from either side
and took the two experts lying on the ground in pain away.
Paxton glanced coldly at the two, secretly sneering at their lack of self- awareness for daring to challenge Catherine.
“She was the little sweetheart my boss held dear in his heart, and wouldn’t even speak with her in a loud voice. “These idiots
were getting bolder and daring to fight with her.

“Weren’t they simply courting death? “Since they refuse to take the path to heaven and barge into hell, don’t blame us for being
merciless,” said he inwardly.
From the coldness emanating from his piercing gaze, one could foresee how tragic the fates of the two experts would be.
Loraine felt a sudden shiver in her heart inexplicably. These were the best bodyguards her father had arranged for her. Now, they
had been injured by Catherine, and even the Duncans were retaliating against them.
It would be a great loss for her if the two were dismissed. Unwillingly, Loraine looked in Branden’s direction and was about to
speak. As if anticipating her to speak, Branden cast a cold glance toward her.
The cold and sinister aura emitted from those deep and profound eyes rendered Loraine unable to express her intended words.
It seemed as though her voice had been stifled in her throat. She lowered her head anxiously, not daring to make eye contact
with Branden again.
The former Branden might have been cold, but that icy demeanor was a grandeur that kept people at a distance, exuding a
mysterious and extraordinary aristocratic aura.
At that moment, the icy and aggressive gaze of Branden instilled fear and panic in the hearts of those who witnessed it.
“All this is brought by that jinx, Catherine. I will not let her go. I swear! ” said Loraine inwardly. Catherine knew that Loraine was
staring at her with hatred. She didn’t care if Loraine would retaliate against her. It was okay as long as Loraine had the ability.
“If she had the guts, just come for me.
“I’ll be waiting,” thought she. Yesenia finally snapped out of the incident in front of her. She did not expect that jinx Catherine
could fight so well.
“Oh my goodness! Can she even be considered a girl?” wondered she. She looked back and found that Bryan was standing
beside her. She was a little surprised. “Bryan, why are you and Uncle Branden here?”
She didn’t have the courage to ask why Branden was holding Catherine’s hand. Her uncle was always a fierce and formidable
beast, cold and unrelenting.
Although everyone said Branden was already very friendly to her, she was still afraid of him. After all, Branden’s temper and
momentum could scare many without him speaking.

Seeing that Yesenia was also here, Bryan was kind of worried about her. Before he could reply, Ronin shouted from the side.
Pointing at Bryan’s nose, he rushed toward Bryan viciously with his gaze fixed on Bryan.
“It turns out that you are a traitor!” said he.
Bryan looked puzzled. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Seeing that her cousin was bullied, Yesenia rushed forward instantly.” What are you doing? Don’t you dare point at my cousin!
Be careful, or I’ll have someone beat you up!”
“Humph!” Ronin sneered disdainfully. “Why don’t you send someone over now? I’ve been itching for a good fight.”
He waved his fists and glared threateningly at Yesenia. “Believe it or not, after I finish beating up your men, I’ll give you a good
thrashing too.”
Yesenia had seen Ronin’s fierce fight just now, and she knew that Ronin was a good fighter. Now threatened by him, she
subconsciously hid behind Bryan. After all, Yesenia was his cousin. Now that Ronin threatened her, Bryan naturally wouldn’t
accept it.
“Duncan boy, what’s your problem? If you have grudges, come for me. What’s the point of making things difficult for a young
girl?”
“Come for you?” Ronin shook his head and clenched his teeth, his face full of anger. “Alright then, I’m coming for you! I knew you
were cut from the same cloth. You’re not a good person, kid. And now I’ve found out that you’re just a rotten apple!”
“Let’s talk this over. What the hell are you talking about?” Bryan felt something was wrong when he saw Ronin so angry.
Grayson also sensed it and stepped forward to hold back the raging Ronin. “Ronin, let’s discuss matters directly. I don’t think
Bryan is aware of the situation.”
Observing the state of the two, Bryan was getting increasingly confused. He did not wish to engage in any argument with Ronin.
Therefore, he turned his attention toward Grayson.
“What on earth is going on?”
Grayson glared at Yesenia behind Bryan and said, “This girl spoke impolitely to our boss, and she asked her friend Loraine to
summon the bodyguards as well.”

Bryan paused for a moment, not expecting it to be like this. No wonder Ronin was so angry. He knew better than anyone about
Ronin’s respect and admiration for Catherine. In Ronin’s heart, Catherine was like a divine being and not to be desecrated.
Yesenia felt somewhat dissatisfied. ” How is it that all the blame is solely on me?” said she inwardly. Just as she was about to
excuse herself, she raised her head and met Bryan’s angry and sinister gaze.
Although they weren’t particularly close, it was the first time Bryan looked at her with such a gaze. Bryan glared at her with great
anger. Ignoring the fact that they were still in a public place, he reprimanded Yesenia loudly.
“Yesenia, you are truly becoming more and more outrageous. Relying on your family’s favor, you become more unruly, aren’t
you? Hurry up and apologize to the boss. Your behavior is not at all in line with that of a member of the Duncans. The Duncans
are not that stupid!”
Yesenia had always been proud to be part of the Duncans, so Bryan’s words really hit her sore spot.
How could she, who was always arrogant and overbearing, possibly bow her head now?
She totally lost her temper, disregarded everything, and chucked a fit.
