All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 398 Who Do You Think You Are?
“How do I want to deal with this? Well...
Catherine sneered, and her eyes darkened. Her voice was icy. “Не deserves to be punished.”
She had nothing related to Korbin other than the blood bond. Catherine would not want Korbin’s life since he was her father. Yet,
Korbin had done things wrong and needed to be punished.
He dared to think of getting rid of her and had to be prepared for her fury and the consequences. Paxton was standing to one
side and when he saw Catherine’s sneer, it sent chills down his spine.
He thought Korbin must be nuts not to love his outstanding daughter and, instead, want to kill her.
Even wild beasts looked after their young. Korbin was even worse than the beasts and arranged for killers to murder his
daughter!
The point was that didn’t Korbin know how capable Catherine was?
No one could save Korbin, even though he was Catherine’s father. Catherine stroked her slightly gorged belly and said casually,
“I’m stuffed. Maybe I can take a walk and visit my father.”
“I’ll go with you.” Branden made a decision immediately.
Paxton took the hint and went downstairs to start the car.
At the Swanns’.
It was night, and the men Korbin sent had yet to return. Korbin’s assistant did not call him, and Korbin knew something must
have gone wrong.
He took out the hidden phone and made a call. When the call got through, Korbin secretly heaved a sigh of relief. His assistant
still answered the phone, so it was probably not that big of an issue.
Korbin said in stateliness and anger, 11 What’s wrong with you? I asked you to report to me timely. Did you forget it?”
However, the reply he received was his assistant sobbing over the phone.

“Mr. Swann, I’m sorry. I can’t help you anymore.”
“What are you talking about?” Korbin furrowed his brows and an irritated expression appeared on his face.
“Mr. Swann, I’ve been taken to a wasteland in another country, and they’ve caged me. They only left me a satellite phone. I’m
risking my head now. I can’t help you.”
With that, Korbin’s assistant cut the call. He looked up at the robust men around and begged, “Sirs, I did everything you
requested. Could you let me go now?”
The leader smiled mischievously at Korbin’s assistant, and his eyes twinkled with fun. “We’ll keep our promise and won’t kill you
since you were so well-behaved.
“Guys, let’s go.”
The men left right away before Korbin’s assistant could react. The assistant was kept in a small cage and could not stand
straight.
Korbin’s assistant freaked out. He was in a wasteland overseas! He patted the cage and yelled for help, “Please, I’m begging
you! Please take me with you!
“Help! Anyone help me!”
No one responded to his cries for help, but his voice attracted some green- eyed animals. The wolves howled, along with the
dholes.
The sound was bone-chilling.
The assistant in the cage was scared out of wits and desperate. Meanwhile, Korbin held the phone and scowled. He did not
seem to understand what happened when the call was cut.
There was an insistent knock on his door, which startled him and cast his mind back.
He boomed a reply, “Come in.”
Ezra pushed the door open and reported to Korbin.
“Sir, Miss Catherine is here. She’s in the living room now.”

Korbin’s face turned grim. He slammed the table furiously and bellowed, ”
Damn it! How dare she come here? I’ll be right down.”
Catherine sat on the sofa in the living room. Unlike the other ladies from the wealthy family, Catherine’s posture was casual, and
she put her feet on the tea table. She looked arrogant.
The servants were dismissed. No one dared to pour Catherine a cup of coffee without order. Those were the Swanns, and the
house was under Catherine’s name.
Catherine had left it be for too long. She thought it was time to rectify this. Footsteps rang in Catherine’s ears, but she still sat
there leisurely and did not turn back.
Korbin came into the living room and saw Catherine’s improper posture. He was irritated again and roared, “Look at you! Do you
realize you’re a girl? Mind your behavior! You unruly country girl!”
His words just fell when he felt a chill in the air. Korbin turned his head and met Branden’s malicious look. Korbin’s heart skipped
a beat out of fear.
Korbin had to drop the idea of scolding Catherine again. He said to Ezra behind him, “Get two cups of coffee for us.”
Right. Only two cups.
Korbin did not even prepare a cup of coffee for Catherine, and his house did not welcome her. Catherine just sat on the sofa
calmly without a word. Ezra served the coffee. He stole a glance at Korbin and only put one cup in front of Branden.
“Mr. Duncan, please.”
Branden’s look was indifferent, and he said nothing. He took the cup and handed it to Catherine.
“The temperature is right. Drink some?
Seeing how Branden coaxed Catherine to drink the coffee, Ezra’s face burned with shame. He had learned the way of hospitality
his whole life and naturally understood what Branden meant.
Korbin wanted to teach Catherine lesson, telling her she was unwelcome, but they did not expect Branden to help Catherine and
humiliate them. People would laugh at their way of receiving guests if they heard about it.

Korbin was quite out of countenance, but that was Branden, and he could not vent his anger at Branden. Korbin could only target
Catherine. Before Korbin said anything, Catherine spat out the sip of coffee she had just taken.
“What the hell is this? Disgusting!”
Branden was cooperative and took the cup away. He then coaxed Catherine again. “Forget about it. I’ll make you better-tasting
coffee later.”
How the two were on the same side embarrassed Korbin. Korbin could not stand it anymore and yelled harshly at Catherine.
“Catherine, you didn’t come home to visit me but to make a fuss, did you?”
Catherine raised her eyes and rested her meaningful and disdainful eyes on Korbin.
“Visit you? Who do you think you are that deserves my visit?”
“You!” Korbin trembled in rage.
Catherine did not care and continued arrogantly, “I’m one of the Swanns, and this is the house under my name. Why do I need
your permission to come to my house?”
“You’re an unfilial daughter!” Korbin could control himself no more and exploded with wrath.
“Unfilial daughter?” Catherine sneered. “That’s an interesting way to address me. I thought we were not related as father and
daughter.”
Her words somehow confused Korbin, and he snarled, “You’re not my daughter! You’re a jinx!”
Catherine put her legs down slowly and stood up. She was ruthless and imposing.
“Yeah, you’re right.”
