All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 581 The Conference Room

Liana noticed that Drake's attitude was arrogant, so she immediately brought up Zain.

"This is the Claytons' event. Doesn't Zain have the right to do that?"

Drake looked at her disdainfully. He despised women who relied on their connections.

He thought, "Does she think she is special just because she's involved with my cousin?"

Drake glanced at Zain and asked, "Zain, should we ask this person to leave?"

Zain could sense Drake's anger and felt a bit uneasy.

Everyone in the Claytons knew that Drake had a bad temper. No one dared to offend him.

Catherine, who found the banquet boring, was not expecting this to happen.

Liana was always silly and completely clueless. She even couldn't see how the man next to her feared Drake.

For Zain, he was caught between his love interest and the most beloved cousin of the family. After some hesitation, Zain chose to yield to his cousin.

"Liana, maybe we should just let it go."

Hearing this, Liana widened her eyes in disbelief. She couldn't believe those words came from Zain.

She knew Zain was interested in her, and he had never refused her requests.

But now, he wouldn't agree to her request to ask Catherine to leave.

"What do you mean, Zain?"

"Liana, Drake is my uncle's son. As you know, this event is hosted by my uncle. How can I ask him to leave?" Zain explained helplessly.

"Uncle's son?" Liana was shocked. " Isn't his last name Spencer?"

Zain nodded. "My cousin took his mother's surname."

Liana finally realized the Claytons' first heir in line had taken his mother's

surname.

Liana never expected this. No wonder Zain wouldn't offend him.

The Claytons' family lineage was vast, and their alliance was with the only daughter of the Spencers.

To secure the alliance, the Claytons agreed that the firstborn, regardless of gender, would have Spencers as the last name.

Drake, favored by both families, grew up spoiled and rebellious.

Zain, as a distant relative, could never match Drake's status in the famiy.

Liana was dumbfounded!

She finally realized how wrong she had been and why Catherine had looked at her strangely earlier.

Liana's anger surged. She stared at Catherine and accused her, "You did this on purpose, didn't you? You watched me embarrass myself on intention. Catherine, how can you be so wicked?"

Catherine coldly sneered with disdain.

She replied, "Liana, you should look in the mirror when you have the time. What makes you think I would do this to you intentionally? Why would I waste my time on you? Stop flattering yourself!"

Her blunt words were like a series of slaps on Liana's face.

Liana felt so ashamed that she wished the ground would swallow her up there and then.

"Catherine, you've gone too far!"

With that, Liana turned and stormed out.

Zain immediately chased after her.

In the corner, only Catherine and Drake were left. With the annoying Liana finally gone, Drake's mood improved, especially after he saw Catherine.

He didn't want to attend this banquet, but his father forced him to.

Now he didn't regret coming. When he saw Catherine at the banquet, everything seemed to become beautiful.

"Catherine, don't pay any attention to that girl."

Catherine took a sip of her drink without responding to Drake.

Seeing that Catherine remained silent, Drake thought she didn't want to continue

the previous topic.

Drake tried to find a common ground to chat with Catherine.

Remembering that Catherine came to the banquet, he had an idea.

"Catherine, are you here for Mr. Anderson too?"

"Yes," Catherine replied casually out of politeness.

Knowing her purpose, Drake felt things would be easy now.

"Catherine, my dad is talking to Mr. Anderson, and they should be out soon.

Let me take you there so you can be the first to meet Mr. Anderson and have a private conversation with him."

Without waiting for Catherine's response, Drake stood up. "Come on. Follow me!"

Realizing Branden was occupied and would not be returning for a while, Catherine agreed to Drake's invitation and followed him to the entrance of the conference room. The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest chapter there!

As they approached, Catherine noticed Liana was also there.

After leaving in anger earlier, Zain managed to convince Liana to stay.

With a bit of persuasion and the promise of introducing her to Edward Anderson,

Liana's mood improved a little, and gave him a smile as a reward.

Seeing Catherine approaching, Liana

sneered. "Catherine, I see that you're here to find Mr. Anderson. too. With your non-finance background, he might not even bother looking at

you." The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest

Facing Liana's arrogance, Catherine calmly responded, "If he won't look at me,

does that mean he'll look at you?"

"Just wait and see!" Liana confidently replied.

Liana believed that as long as Edward saw her, she could use her professional

knowledge to make Edward continue interacting with her.

Their standoff ended as the conference room door opened.

The head of the Claytons, accompanied by Edward and several prominent

figures in the financial industry, walked out of the meeting room.

The moment they emerged, Liana rushed forward.

She knew it was a risky move, but this was her only chance to defeat Catherine.

Liana smiled and stopped in front of Edward. "Hello, Mr. Anderson. I'm Liana Swann. I once sent you an email about financial analysis. Do you remember?" The head of the Claytons frowned slightly when he saw Liana rush forward.

However, upon noticing the hint from his nephew, he decided to overlook Liana's impolite behavior.

More importantly, he saw that his son was here too and brought a beautiful lady

along.

He noticed his son was staring at the girl throughout, not even stopping to blink

once. He thought this was interesting.

After careful consideration, Edward recognized Liana and warmly responded, "Yes, I remember your analysis report. Well done. You are

very talented. I didn't expect you to be so young and attractive." The content is on bignovels.com! Read the latest chapter there!

Liana felt proud of herself for being praised. She believed she had outshone

Catherine.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Edward prepared to continue with his next

agenda. As he looked up, he was stunned. He looked ahead in astonishment and

exclaimed loudly, "Oh, my God. Look who I just saw!"
