All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 268 Korbin’s Intent
Audrey was still worried and wanted to see Johnathan for herself. Catherine, seeing Audrey’s determination, agreed to go on her
behalf. It wasn’t much trouble as the rooms were just upstairs and downstairs.
“Kathy, be careful when you go. With Johnathan’s accident and Mom’s impatience, her mood might not be great right now. Don’t
mind that.”
Audrey expressed her concern. Audrey was well aware of Rachael’s attitude toward Catherine. She worried that Catherine might
be treated coldly when she visited. Audrey felt uneasy, so she offered such advice.
Catherine raised an eyebrow and glanced at Audrey. Then, she casually nodded and left the room. Then Catherine went to the
eighth floor of the hospital.
Catherine had received information that Johnathan’s surgery had been successfully completed, and he was now in a ward on the
eighth floor.
Following the information provided by Ronin, Catherine arrived at the door of the ward. Her sudden appearance drew the
attention of the people inside the room.
There were quite a few people inside the room, including the couple from the Swanns and Liana and Korbin’s secretary. When
they saw Catherine suddenly appear, they were all somewhat surprised.
The first to react was Rachael, She stood from her chair, glared at Catherine, and cursed, “You dare to show up here. You are a
jinx. You’ve caused so much harm.”
Hearing Rachael’s accusations, Catherine remained composed. She showed no emotion and completely ignored Rachael.
Catherine turned to look at the hospital. bed. She found that Johnathan’s complexion seemed fine. It indicated that there weren’t
any significant issues. After Rachael noticed Catherine’s silence, her emotions were getting increasingly agitated.
Rachael could endure anything, but she couldn’t stand anyone harming Johnathan. In Rachael’s view, Johnathan was her
guarantee of status within the Swanns.
She believed that her position as the mistress of the Swanns was secured because of Johnathan’s existence. Anyone who dared
to harm Johnathan was essentially threatening Rachael’s life.

Rachael stood up and lunged forward. She was furious and wanted to tear Catherine to shreds. Liana sat on the side. Her eyes
were red, and she appeared helpless. But she had no intention of intervening.
At this moment, Liana felt an immense sense of satisfaction. What she wanted was for Catherine to make a fool of herself. She
wanted to witness Catherine’s humiliation, as only then would she find solace.
When Rachael lunged forward, Catherine subtly shifted her body and effortlessly evaded Rachael’s attack. Although Catherine
had evaded. Rachael wasn’t as fortunate.
Due to her momentum, Rachael couldn’t stop herself and crashed forward. She eventually fell to the ground in a highly
disheveled state.
Catherine stood to the side. With hands in her pockets, she looked down at Rachael on the ground. Then she spoke slowly in a
cold voice. “I wonder what your high society friends would think if they saw you like this.”
Initially, Rachael had thought about causing a scene. But Catherine’s sharp words had pierced her heart, and Rachael quickly
got up from the ground.
Rachael had almost ruined her carefully maintained image as a high- society lady. And she thought it was Catherine who had
nearly shattered it. After Rachael stood up, her face turned livid, and she stared at Catherine with her sharp eyes.
“You are a jinx. Why did you come back? Why are you harming Johnny like this? What have we ever done to you? Why such
cruelty?”
Catherine looked at Rachael with confusion. She was puzzled by Rachael’s words.
“What are you talking about?”
Rachael was seething with anger, and her face was contorted. “Don’t pretend you don’t know. You’re a jinx. Johnny wouldn’t be
in this situation if it weren’t for you.”
After Catherine heard that, her beautiful eyes grew cold. Catherine had promised Audrey that she would visit, and now she had
fulfilled that promise.
Since they didn’t welcome her and kept calling her a jinx, believing her presence had brought harm to Johnathan, Catherine felt
there was no need for her to stay there any longer.

Without a word, Catherine turned and left. However, Rachael couldn’t let it go and followed Catherine to the door.
Then Rachael continued her accusations. All eyes were on Catherine, and no one noticed Liana’s relieved sigh as Catherine
departed.
As Liana watched Catherine’s departure, her expression grew even darker. Liana wasn’t afraid, even if Catherine tried to deny
her role in Johnny’s accident.
Liana knew that the people present wouldn’t believe Catherine’s words. They would only see Catherine as trying to absolve
herself of blame. After venting her anger at Catherine, Rachael turned back to see Korbin sitting on the side.
Enough time had passed for her to calm down. She knew that Korbin didn’t appreciate women causing a scene. Rachael had
already caused a scene once before. If she did it again this time, it might displease Korbin.
“Korbin, you saw it too. Catherine has such an attitude. Even after what happened to Johnny, she had the audacity to come here
and inquire about Johnny’s condition. It just shows how bold she is.”
Korbin’s face darkened, and his voice grew cold. “Don’t worry. I will handle this.”
Rachael had been married to Korbin for many years. While she didn’t fully understand Korbin, she knew him well enough. From
his expression, Rachael could see a killing intent. She knew that this time, her husband wouldn’t spare Catherine.
He might make sure Catherine disappeared for good. Rachael felt no sympathy for Catherine. She hoped Catherine would
vanish from the world and stop bothering her. Catherine returned to Audrey’s ward. As Audrey saw Catherine, she stood up with
concern.
“How is it? Is Johnathan okay?” Audrey asked.
“He’s fine. The surgery was successful, “Catherine replied calmly.
Hearing this, Audrey felt a sense of relief. However, Audrey suddenly remembered something else and asked, “Are our parents
with Johnathan?”
Hearing that, Catherine nodded. Then she noticed Audrey’s eyes dimming suddenly. Catherine could still discern it despite
Audrey’s attempt to hide her emotions.
Audrey had been in the hospital for three days, and apart from Catherine, no one else from the Swanns had visited her.

Audrey didn’t know Catherine had noticed her emotions. She didn’t want Catherine to worry. Then Audrey said to Catherine,
“You should go back earlier. I don’t need anyone here. You can get some rest at home.”
Catherine didn’t object, as it was true that Audrey could manage on her own.
“Alright. I’ll leave then.”
Kiri watched as Catherine walked away. Then she said to Audrey in a low voice, Audrey, it seems like your little sister might be a
bit reserved. Is she hard to get along with?”
Kiri felt that she had phrased it quite delicately. She considered that Catherine’s relationship with Audrey seemed to be only
slightly better than with strangers. After understanding what Kiri was trying to convey, Audrey smiled lightly.
“My sister has that kind of personality. Don’t be fooled by her cold demeanor. She’s a very good person. She is very generous
and doesn’t hold grudges. She’s been very kind to me.”
Audrey was grateful for her sister. She knew that her situation would be much worse without Catherine’s support.
