All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 312 Classmates
The bell for the end of class finally rang. Liana never thought standing for a whole class could be so exhausting. Both of her legs
were numb.
As soon as the homeroom teacher left, she stiffly walked toward her desk. She was eagerly waiting for class to be over, and so
was Ronin.
“Catherine said that we should respect our teachers.
“Although these teachers might not be able to teach us much, they were still teachers, so they deserve respect.
“During class hours, it is unacceptable to cause disturbances that disrupt the teacher’s teaching or distract the classmates.
“I’m the most obedient to Catherine, so naturally, I can’t go against her wishes, “thought Ronin.
Catherine saw the subtle hints that Ronin was giving her. Ronin constantly made funny faces and winked as if he were worried
that Catherine wouldn’t notice.
Catherine knew that Ronin was eager to engage in a fight. As long as Ronin didn’t hurt himself, Catherine was not interested in
bothering with him.
“Liana was annoying, but that was totally on her,” thought she. She couldn’t be bothered with it and left Ronin to handle it
himself.
After receiving a response from Catherine, Ronin was all fired up and ready to take action. Liana walked toward her seat. Just as
she was about to sit down, someone secretly snatched her chair away.
Without any precautions, Liana almost fell flat on her face. She angrily stood up and looked at Ronin on the side, cursing with a
red face full of anger, “Ronin Oconnor, is there any point in doing this?”
Ronin just shrugged, spread his hand, and looked at Liana with a confident and righteous expression.
“Liana, please be reasonable. What did I do to receive such words from you?”
Seeing Ronin’s attitude, Liana got furious. All her anger exploded in that moment. “Ronin, as a man, you pulled my chair to make
me fall. You dared to do it but can’t even admit it?”

“Haha!” Ronin sneered. “Just because you claim that I did it, I must admit? When stating accusations, one must provide
evidence. Do you have any?”
“Evidence? That’s easy..
“It’s break time. There’s no way that not a single person in the whole class noticed it,” said Liana inwardly.
She looked around to find some witnesses for herself. She noticed that other classmates either had their heads down or were
mocking her, showing no intention of helping her at all.
Liana was about to glance at her deskmate, but when she turned around, she saw her deskmate pretending to sleep on the desk
with such poor acting.
Just now, Liana dragged everyone down to deal with Catherine. She knew exactly what was going on, but she intentionally got
everyone to join in opposing Catherine.
Fortunately, the homeroom teacher stepped in. If Catherine had insisted on an explanation, Liana would have implicated
everyone. Everyone was so pissed off at Liana right now, so why would anyone want to help her?
Liana was so angry that she gritted her teeth while Ronin laughed heartily.
This contrast was so ironic.
Ronin snorted and glared coldly at Liana.
“What? No evidence, right? Let me tell you, you can eat whatever you want, but be careful what you say, or I’ll sue you!”
Liana glared angrily at Ronin, who was jumping up and down in front of her. She knew this must be Catherine’s idea. “Ronin
always listened to Catherine.
Without her permission, how could Ronin trouble me like this?” said she inwardly. She directed all her grievances at Catherine
and was so angry to the point of losing her rationality that she confronted Catherine directly.
“Catherine, you’re so shady. You pretend to be nice on the surface but order Ronin to mess with me. Why are you so evil?”
Ronin didn’t expect Liana to be so shameless. “It was clearly me who had a conflict with her, yet she blamed it on Catherine,”
thought he.

This really pissed off Ronin. He didn’t care what Liana thought and confronted her directly.
“Hey, just come for me. Why get Catherine involved? Can’t you see her resting? If you bother her, don’t blame me for being
rude!”
“Humph, some pretentious bitch is absolutely disgusting!” The tone of Liana was indescribably sarcastic. If it weren’t for the
dominance of Catherine, Liana might have already cursed it out.
No matter how harshly Ronin tried to confront her, Liana ignored him entirely and directed her anger toward Catherine.
Catherine had initially intended to nap, but unexpectedly, someone was constantly chattering beside her. Finally, she showed a
reaction.
She lazily opened her eyes and lifted her eyelids, revealing those mesmerizing eyes. A cold gaze fell upon Liana. For a moment,
Liana froze, her breath completely halting.
But soon, she reacted and pretended to stay calm as she locked eyes with Catherine. Although she was scared inside, she still
looked very defiant.
She couldn’t believe that Catherine would hit her in front of so many people. Catherine wouldn’t hit Liana, not because she was
afraid, but because she was just too lazy to bother with Liana. She looked at Liana coldly and said, ” Before doing anything, ask
yourself whether you deserve it or not!”
This sentence didn’t cause much harm, but it was highly insulting. Liana had a stubborn and indignant look but held her anger in
earlier.
Now, she was totally overwhelmed by anger. Her expression alternated between red and white, which was amusing. The
statement from Catherine was humiliating. She ripped Liana’s dignity off and stomped on it on the ground.
That was not all, Catherine added coldly.
“I suggest you take it easy, considering that nobody in our class has a taste for jerks!”
After listening to Catherine’s retort, Ronin stood on the side and applauded continuously.
“Catherine, you rock! That was an awesome speech!”

“The ability to humiliate people without using any vulgar language and to leave people speechless was only possessed by
Catherine,” thought he.
Under the mocking gaze of the entire class, Liana couldn’t take it anymore and ran out of the classroom to hide. She hadn’t
come back until the classes were over in the afternoon.
It was time to finish school, and Ronin’s thoughts began to stir. With a smirk, he leaned in toward Catherine and gave her a
pleasing look.
“Catherine, let’s have a barbecue together tonight. It’s been a long time since we had a meal together.”
These words were indeed true. Since Branden started cooking at home, Catherine rarely ate outside.
Whenever Branden was available, he would come to pick Catherine up after school, and then they would go to his apartment
first.
After having dinner, Catherine would return to Audrey’s apartment to rest. Sometimes, she was too lazy to walk and slept at
Branden’s apartment.
Catherine looked sideways at Ronin and said, “Think about what day it is today!”
Ronin was caught off guard and glanced at his phone before realizing it. He totally forgot about it. Now, it was not the same as
before.
He came to study with Catherine, and for him, this period was all about self- cultivation. He had nothing to do every day and
even lost track of time.
“Come on, Catherine! You can do it!”
“Okay!” Catherine slightly nodded as she slung her backpack on one shoulder and walked away. Ronin couldn’t help but stare in
a daze at Catherine’s back as she walked away. He felt like Catherine had been acting differently lately.
But he couldn’t put into words what had explicitly changed. Perhaps the only adequate description would be that Catherine gave
him a sense of ordinary people.
For the first time, Ronin felt it would be the right decision to let Catherine return to the Swanns.
