All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 294 Tell the Sea What to Do
Triston suggested playing games together after dinner, but Audrey refused. Triston was enraged and roared, “Why do you come
here if you don’t want to have fun together? Just looking for another place to sleep?”
Audrey’s face darkened after being scolded in public. She glowered at Triston coldly. “Yeah, I’m just here to sleep. So what?
You’ve gone too far. Why don’t you mind your business?”
“You bought the island but didn’t buy the sea, alright? How about you tell the sea what to do?”
“You!” Triston was even more furious. She said that he had gone too far in such a sarcastic tone! Did he push things too far and
dwell too deeply on it?
Wasn’t he trying to be a good host since he had invited them to his island? Audrey saw Triston at a loss for words in his fury and
stood up to leave the table. “I’m all set. I’m going to have a rest. Enjoy yourselves.”
The crowd finally dared to continue chatting only when Audrey was out of sight. Aidan looked at Triston curiously and asked,
“Hey, what have you done to offend Audrey? She’s nice to the rest of us. Why would she stare at you like you’re a jerk who has
abandoned your family? She seems to wish to tear you apart?”
“How would I know? She has probably been worn out by her acting job and has her menopause in advance,” Triston said angrily.
The rest dared not speak. They could tell that Audrey treated Triston differently from the others. Triston was sometimes
unreliable, but he was so great to his friends.
No one had any idea what was going on between Audrey and Triston. Only Audrey and Triston know why she was so rude to
him. Most of the rest looked normal and did not take the episode to heart.
Only Catherine raised her brows and glanced at Branden next to her. Branden nodded slightly, and Catherine stood up, walking
toward where Audrey had headed. Noticing Catherine was leaving, Ronin shouted anxiously, “Boss, where are you going?”
He was about to stand up when a force on his shoulder readily pinned him down on the chair. Ronin wanted to wrestle with the
force. He did not believe he could not beat only one hand with all his strength. A few minutes later, Ronin gave up quietly.
He extruded all his strength, but the hand on his shoulder was still motionless. Ronin’s face was already red, which was
embarrassing.

Ronin turned his head sideways and met the eyes of the owner of the hand. His eyes skipped a beat. He never knew anyone’s
gaze and aura could be more terrifying than his boss’s. He softened instantly and admitted his defeat.
The rest of the crowd watched them battle silently at the side. They were not surprised by such a result. What attracted them
was Ronin’s reaction. Compared to the boring games, the battle between Ronin and Branden was way more interesting.
When Catherine found Audrey, the latter was lying on a recliner in the lounge. Sensing the appearance of Catherine, Audrey
became somewhat flustered. She hurriedly stood up from the recliner and walked to Catherine.
“Kathy, why are you here?” Audrey looked at Catherine with a furrowed brow. She seemed to be in a bad mood. Kathy, you didn’t
come here because you were worried about me, right?”
“Did Triston offend you?” asked Catherine straightforwardly, leaving no time for Audrey to react. Audrey did not expect that. She
lowered her head in silence, gutless to look into Catherine’s eyes.
“He didn’t. It’s just... I don’t like him.”
“Is that so?” Catherine said coldly, drawing out the final sound. Audrey panicked right away. She did not know why, but she had
no way to lie in front of Catherine.
She did not have the nerve to even think about lying to Catherine. All she could do was to avoid speaking and looking at
Catherine.
Catherine could tell from Audrey’s posture that she did not want to discuss it. Everyone had the right to protect their privacy.
Since Audrey refused to continue the topic, Catherine would not force her.
“If you need help, you know where to find me. Catherine left after saying that, leaving the area to Audrey. Audrey was staring at
Catherine’s retreating figure and was rapt in admiration.
She did not understand how Catherine could form such an imposing manner under her thin figure. She felt a strong sense of
security with Catherine around her.
In her heart, Catherine was more like an elder sister to her than she was to Catherine. Audrey fixed her gaze on Catherine’s
back and opened her mouth. She said silently, “Thank you.”
The one-day vacation passed in the blink of an eye. The following noon, after lunch, the group decided to make a return voyage.

Catherine had something on and did not want to leave with the crowd, so she planned to go ahead on her own. When she
reached the ship, she realized the captain had changed. It was Branden waiting for her onboard.
The two smiled at each other, and Branden reached his hand to her. Catherine held his hand and jumped nimbly onto the deck.
“How did you know I was leaving earlier?” asked Catherine. Branden tilted his head and beamed at her but did not answer her
question. He had his way to figure it out if he wanted.
Under Johnathan’s strong insistence, Rachael allowed him to recuperate at home. Just as Rachael left home, Johnathan could
not bear to wait any longer and contacted Dayton. He rolled his wheelchair and left the house.
Dayton had been spying on Catherine’s every move as Johnathan had told him to. “Dude, are you sure Catherine will show up
here?”
Facing Johnathan’s question, Dayton nodded without hesitation. “Mr. Johnathan, trust me. I’ve investigated everything. Catherine
had a great time on the island and will return today. We only need to stay here waiting for her.”
Since Dayton was so sure, Johnathan only had to take his word for it. Dayton was still unassured and asked Johnathan one last
time, “Mr. Johnathan, are you sure you want to do this? No matter what, Catherine is more or less related to you through blood.”
There was a flash of viciousness on Johnathan’s face, “If I am merciful, who would be the one to pay the price for my leg?”
Even though his parents dared not tell him the truth, Johnathan already knew it. His leg would be healed without a doubt, but
there was no hope for it to return to its former condition.
The doctor even suggested he avoid intensive sports in the coming few years. It was equal to a notification telling him that he
was disabled. It was all because of Catherine, the jinx. He was dying for Catherine to pay the price.
“Cut your crap. Do it if you’re my bro.”
Seeing Johnathan’s determined face, Dayton decided to do it. Dayton usually fooled around and had made some friends with
some gangsters. He had his means for acts of revenge.
Otherwise, Dayton would not have been the first to pop into Johnathan’s mind after the incident. A few more minutes later,
Johnathan started to lose his patience and wanted to ask Dayton what had gone wrong.
Yet, Dayton shouted thrillingly at him, “Mr. Johnathan, look! Their ship is coming.”

The dock was exclusive and not for business, so few ships anchored there. Therefore, it might have been the ship Catherine was
on.
Johnathan watched as the ship came toward them, and his face revealed a hint of excitement. He patted on Dayton’s shoulder.
“Dude, now it’s up to you.”
