All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 703 

One More Person to Meet Kamren's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he heard Catherine's words. "How is this possible?" He immediately objected, disagreeing with Catherine's proposal.

However, as soon as he finished his sentence, Zobber slapped him hard. She glared at him fiercely, exuding a menacing aura. "When is it your turn to object to Catherine's words?" Terrified, Kamren begged, "Madam, I was wrong. It's all my fault. Can you forgive me? I shouldn't have objected. Please spare me!" Seeing his timely apology, Zobber chose not to pursue the matter further.

Kamren glanced at Emma, his eyes filled with warning and threat. He couldn't handle these people, but dealing with Emma was well within his capabilities.

Emma was frightened by the way he looked at her. She had been with Kamren for a while and understood his character. She knew what his gaze meant.

She hadn't expected Kamren, someone even the Duncans feared, to end up like this because of Catherine. Emma looked at Catherine with an incredulous and fearful gaze. Besides, there was still a hint of hatred in her eyes.

"Catherine, even the Duncans are afraid of Kamren. Aren't you afraid?" asked Emma.

"What?" Catherine raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her eyes as she looked at Emma. "Who told you the Duncans are afraid?" Emma was unsure how to answer Catherine's question. If the Duncans weren't afraid, why didn't they pursue her before? Observing Emma's changing expressions, Catherine guessed everything.

She lifted Emma's chin with the toe of her shoe, forcing Emma to meet her eyes. "According to you, the Duncans didn't act against you because they feared Kamren, huh?" "Isn't that the case?" Emma thought. She wanted to say, but seeing Zobber's fierce face, she swallowed her words, not daring to speak.

Even if she didn't say it, Catherine could see through her. "Humph!" Catherine chuckled coldly, a mocking tone in her laughter, and her words were full of disdain for Emma.

That smile made Emma anxious. She felt she had no dignity in front of Catherine. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"What do I mean?" Catherine leaned in, her scornful gaze moving over Emma. "Back then, if you didn't run away, at most, you would have faced sdisciplinary action and been advised to leave the school. Think for yourself. Compared to the Arroyos, which one is more bearable?" Sending her to the Arroyos and making her Kamren's lover was an idea her uncle had to save the Wales. After arriving at the Arroyos, she truly understood what a living hell was- every moment in there was torture. Kamren didn't see her as a person, torturing her daily and treating her as a commodity for transactions.

Now, Emma understood. The Duncans didn't act, not out of fear of the Arroyos, but because they knew what kind of person Kamren was and what sort of situation she would face after being thrown into the Arroyos.

The Duncans did not even need to take action. The Arroyos were the real hell.

Once Emma understood this, her red eyes glared at Catherine with anger, and she couldn't contain the fury within her. "Why didn't you saveback then? Since you knew what situation I would face being with Kamren, why didn't you help me, Catherine? You're truly heartless." Facing Emma's accusations, Catherine couldn't help but laugh. "I've said it before. I'm not a saint, and I didn't intentionally harm you. Your predicament was caused by your uncle, and it has nothing to do with me.

Furthermore, you provoked someone close toand offended me. Why should I save you?" This merciless sarcasm left Emma sitting on the ground. She realized that she had walked into this pit herself, not pushed by Catherine.

Red-eyed, she stared at Catherine. "I admit I planned Audrey's situation. I bribed a makeup assistant to put something in her drink during the event. Are you satisfied now? Do whatever you want to me." Emma casually lay on the side, not struggling, completely appearing as if a hopeless person.

Catherine glanced around and saw a crystal hairpin on the table. She picked it up and examined it before tossing it in front of Emma.

Emma stared at her beloved hairpin for a while, then tremblingly picked it up, using its sharpest end to cut her own cheek.

She screamed in pain. Then, enduring the intense agony, she looked at Catherine. "Is this satisfying for you?" She had ruined her once-prized appearance. She thought that was enough for Catherine.

Catherine lowered her head, contemptuously gazing at Emma's face. The blood flowing down seemed to bring her no emotions. "I just thought the hairpin was nice. Why did you ruin your face? It's a pity. Originally, you could have fetched a decent price, but now, I'm afraid you'll only attract the lowest bidders." Like a sharp blade, Catherine's words left nothing of Emma's shattered self- esteem. Emma had hated Catherine so much and had once looked down on her, but now, she found herself in such a miserable state in front of Catherine.

This was what Emma couldn't accept the most. And Catherine's previous words were undoubtedly the greatest intimidation to Emma. Now, with her face ruined, Emma didn't know what her future would be.

Thinking about all this, Emma began to cry out loud.

Catherine glanced at her and left the Arroyos with the others. She didn't have tto listen to Emma's miserable screams here.

Zobber had already gathered evidence. She handed it to Ronin and instructed him to give it to the police.

As long as Emma was arrested, she could be charged with intentionally framing someone, and Audrey's case would be settled.

"No need!" Catherine interrupted Ronin's actions.

Ronin looked up at Catherine in surprise. "Catherine, what do you mean?" Seeing Catherine's firm expression, Ronin had no choice but to follow her orders.

Sometimes, online violence lacks a sense of justice. Although most netizens were rational, there were always a few stubborn ones who couldn't be convinced, no matter how much evidence was presented. Rumors stopped with the wise, but there would always be a few idiots.

Even if they made all the evidence public, Audrey would still be pointed fingers at. Catherine didn't plan to help Audrey in this way.

Zobber guessed Catherine's thoughts. She didn't care about those things. As long as it was what Catherine ordered, she would do it.

"Catherine, Audrey's matter is settled. Where do we go next?" she asked.

Catherine gazed ahead with cold, unfeeling eyes and said in a chilling voice, "There's one more person to meet."
