All Her Secrets

Every time Liana practiced, the music room would be crowded with people.. Even though it was just practice, Liana’s reputation
as a musical prodigy echoed loudly within the school.
She had been taking piano lessons since she was young, following famous teachers. She had a beautiful appearance, musical
talent, decent academic performance, and an impressive family background.
“Wow, look at Liana, she’s truly a talented girl. We will forever admire her!”
“Yeah, if I were half as talented as Liana, my mom would be happy!”
Catherine and Ronin happened to pass by the music room. They overheard the conversation between the girls sitting beside
them.
Ronin’s mouth twitched. He rolled his eyes, saying, “Boss, do these people ever think before they speak? Liana is talented?
Forget about it.”
Bryan, who happened to be nearby, glanced at Liana, sitting straight with an elegant posture in front of the piano. In school,
Liana could indeed be considered a talented girl. But there were always people better than her.
No matter how talented Liana was, she would instantly pale in comparison with Catherine. It was just like a rock compared with a
pearl. There was a huge difference. After carefully comparing, Bryan came to a conclusion. “Boss, I agree with Ronin. Liana is
far behind compared to you!”
Catherine didn’t expect these two, who always clashed the moment they met, to actually reach a consensus. However, their
consensus was so absurd.
When Ronin heard Bryan’s words, his face showed strong disagreement.” You’re insulting our boss, you know? What do you
mean by ‘far behind’? Boss and that woman are not even in the same league. How can you compare them?”
Seeing that the two were about to start another argument, Catherine gave them a cold look, full of warning.. Instantly, both of
them fell silent.
Even though they were still dissatisfied with each other, they didn’t dare to provoke Catherine. With just one look, they both felt
like they were suffocating in a storm, afraid to act recklessly. Catherine had no intention of listening to their discussion, but now
she turned her attention to Liana.

Liana’s musical skills were quite good. Catherine was about to close her eyes to Catherine was about to close her eyes to enjoy
Liana’s piano playing. But the next verse made her furrow her brows instantly.
Catherine opened her eyes and looked up. Liana made a mistake. Although it was subtle, Catherine still heard it. This kind of
mistake was fatal for a top musician. Liana did need more practice.
As Liana finished her piece, she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up to take a bow. Suddenly, Elena stood up.
With a sarcastic smile on her beautiful face, she looked at Liana.
“Liana, you are the best, and it’s undeniable. But you know what, I just heard someone compare herself to you. She’s not
talented, but she said she’s better than you. What a joke!”
As Liana saw the admiration on her classmates’ faces, she felt a sense of pride. Their recognition was something she deserved.
However, Elena’s words instantly darkened Liana’s face.
At the same time, a few girls standing next to Elena also chimed in. They had disliked Catherine for quite some time, but they
didn’t dare to speak ill of her. Now, they took advantage of Elena’s comment to teach Catherine a lesson.
“We heard it too, Liana. We all think you are the best, but Catherine claims that you’re not even in the same league as her. Who
does she think she is? It’s ridiculous.”
“Yeah, if she’s so great, why doesn’t she go up and play herself?” Catherine turned her head, her cold gaze casually sweeping
over the girls speaking. She couldn’t understand why she was blamed for Bryan and Ronin’s words. Was she, as their boss,
responsible for their improper comments?
Liana would have thrown a fit long ago if it weren’t for the people present. Right now, her dark face was the result of her
immense restraint.
Catherine was indeed Liana’s nemesis. No matter where Liana went, Catherine would always show up. Every word these girls
said pierced Liana’s heart like a sharp blade, making her feel like she was about to explode with anger.
Unable to stand it any longer, Ronin stepped forward. He tilted his chin up, looking down on Liana with disdain. He didn’t like this
woman and couldn’t stand her showing off in front of Catherine.
“My boss didn’t say those words. I said them. Any problem with that? I was telling the truth. Your piano playing sucks, Liana. You
were just embarrassing yourself.”

Elena’s provocation was not enough to make Liana lose her temper. After all, Liana and Catherine still had a sisterly bond.
Making a scene would only make Liana seem petty.
However, Ronin was crossing the line. Liana thought that if she didn’t react now, she would appear weak and easy to bully. Liana
looked at Catherine with an unpleasant gaze as if trying to tear her apart.
“Catherine, what have I done to offend you? Why do you allow them to humiliate me? You just don’t want to see me succeed, do
you? I was just practicing here. What did I do wrong?”
Liana’s grievances resonated with the people present, and they felt that her musical talent was impeccable. Whether these
words came from Ronin or Catherine, they were inappropriate.
In their opinion, Catherine didn’t seem to have any talent. She was always so aggressive. It was truly beyond her abilities to
speak ill of Liana.
Catherine glanced at Liana, who was playing the victim and acting coy. Drop the act, will you?” Catherine thought. “I know well
what type of person you are.”
However, Catherine didn’t want to argue with Liana today. She lowered her head, her eyes darkened, and she said coldly,
“Ronin, apologize.”
Ronin looked at Catherine in shock, seemingly not expecting her to ask him to apologize. In Catherine’s opinion, this incident
was indeed Ronin’s fault. He was not supposed to make those comments.
Ronin had always obeyed Catherine’s orders without hesitation. If Catherine asked him to apologize, he would do it. However,
before Ronin could speak, Elena excitedly shouted. “Apologize? That won’t do.”
Ronin coldly stared at Elena’s cunning face, raised an eyebrow, and asked disdainfully, “So what do you want then?”
