All Her Secrets

Instantly, everyone’s attention was focused on Catherine and Branden, as the news shouted out by Aidan was genuinely
astonishing. Especially Ronin, his eyes were almost popping out of their sockets. His voice trembled as he said, “B-Boss...”
The moment Aidan spoke up, Catherine sightly furrowed her brows, but soon her expression turned calm.
“Calm down.”
The two cold words instantly calmed Ronin. He carefully observed Catherine and figured that it probably wasn’t cohabitation.
As for Aidan, he already knew he had caused an enormous mess. He cowered behind Triston, seeking refuge. He was now filled
with anxiety, worried that Branden would come storming out of the car in anger to silence him forever.
After all, Branden’s gaze was extremely intimidating just now. Branden rolled up the window, knowing there was no point in
arguing with the single guys outside the car.
Paxton understood Branden’s intentions and stepped on the gas pedal, leaving the scene and a cloud of dust behind them. Left
behind were the four handsome men still standing in the wind, looking confused.
Triston stared in the direction the black car had departed, a wicked smirk on his face. “Mr. Duncan is truly impressive. His skills in
picking up girls are top- notch. He has already progressed to living together with Catherine in such a short time. There’ll be more
shocking news coming, I guess.”
No sooner had Triston finished speaking than he let out a cry of pain. from his mouth. In an instant, both Ronin and Bryan struck
Triston. Each delivered a punch to Triston’s stomach, one from the front and the other from the back.
These two punches were quite powerful, and Triston bent over in pain, his face contorted. He propped himself up, slowly
standing up straight, and muttered under his breath, “You two little brats, how dare you plot against me? I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Triston didn’t immediately retaliate but instead turned to look at Aidan. “Doing nothing, huh? Will you just stand there and watch
me get beat up?”
Aidan looked at Triston with a half- smile, a burst of joy in his heart. At the same time, he gestured for Triston to look ahead.
“Coward!” Triston muttered under his breath before confidently standing up. But as he looked up, his once imposing demeanor
instantly deflated. The glares from Ronin and Bryan seemed as if they wanted to suck his blood and break his bones.

Triston felt a wave of fear wash over him and quietly asked, “Are you going to keep hitting me? If you’re still not satisfied, how
about two more punches? As long as you don’t hit my face!”
“Hmph!” Ronin coldly snorted and gave Triston a final warning glance, thinking, “Keep complaining, and I’ll make sure you regret
it!”
Accompanied by Bryan, Ronin walked away while Triston held his stomach, grimacing in pain. He muttered, “You two sly dogs!”
Liana sat anxiously in Korbin’s study, accompanied by Rachael. It was almost half past ten, and she should be getting her sleep
by now, but the matter at hand was still unresolved.
Rachael grew impatient. She glared at Liana disapprovingly and said, slightly annoyed, “You’ve always been smart, and we’ve
always trusted you. But why have you been making one mistake after another recently? And now you’ve caused such a mess!”
Liana’s face instantly turned pale. She had always been the pride of the Swanns. Rachael strongly preferred boys over girls, and
one of the reasons she doted on Liana so much was because Liana was ambitious enough.
Among all the children, Liana had the most similar personality and temperament to Rachael. Her excellence was enough for
Rachael to show off in front of those wealthy ladies. Hearing Rachael’s words was undoubtedly the most devastating blow to
Liana.
All of this was caused by Catherine, just as the astrologer had predicted. Catherine was a disaster. She brought misfortune to
those around her, and anyone who encountered her didn’t have good luck. Liana didn’t want to go back and confess, but she
had no choice.
Now that Nash had been punished, this matter had escalated. If the Wales didn’t let it go, and she continued hiding it from
Korbin, it would become a major disaster. She would be the first one sacrificed by Korbin.
In contrast to Rachael’s anger, Korbin remained calm. In his opinion, this was just child’s play. What he cared more about was
the impact of this matter on the relationship between the Swanns and the Wales.
“Liana, are you sure Nash won’t expose you?” Korbin asked calmly. Liana understood what her father was thinking. In the eyes
of the Swanns, only interests mattered. She didn’t think it was a big deal because she was just the same type of person.
“Don’t worry, Dad. Nash said he will take responsibility for this matter!” Liana reassured her father.

As Liana said those words, however, she couldn’t help but think of what Nash had said to her before they parted ways, and it
made her inexplicably heartbroken.
The pain only lasted for a moment, and what was left was the worry caused by the current problem.
She didn’t even win first place in the celebration gala. Did she still have a chance at the Ealsmen Conservatory? After all, this
school was famous for only accepting the best students. Every student there was at the top of the world.
When he heard Liana’s answer, Korbin wasn’t too worried about this issue. Since Liana said so, it meant that she was very
confident in handling this matter, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.
He was more concerned about another matter. “Is Sugar, the legend in the music industry, well-known?”
Although Liana didn’t want to admit it, she had to nod. If one didn’t know about Sugar, the legend in the music industry, then it
could be said that one was out of touch with the industry.
People of the traditional singing circle always looked down on the pop music industry. In the eyes of many traditional musicians,
pop singers couldn’t be considered musicians.
But Sugar was different. Although she had few compositions, each of her works was widely recognized and even gained the
approval of many traditional musicians. It was rare for a pop song to receive such recognition. She was truly a top figure in the
industry!
However, what Liana didn’t expect was that this mysterious giant turned out to be Catherine, a country bumpkin.
How was that possible?
Liana couldn’t believe all this. She looked at Korbin and said, “Dad, how could Catherine, a country bumpkin who didn’t even
finish school, know all these things? Sugar is a legend in the music industry. How could she be this disaster, Catherine?”
Korbin didn’t want to admit it, but the fact was right in front of them, wasn’t it?
He sighed and replied, “Who knows what your grandfather taught Catherine? After all, she is a Swann, and your grandfather is
responsible for caring for her.”
Upon hearing this, Liana was about to explode with anger. Rachael, on the other hand, noticed another issue. “Korbin, if news of
Catherine being some kind of musical genius spreads, could it affect the Swann Corporation’s stock price?”

Korbin was worried about this. With the deadline approaching, there was no way he would give Catherine a chance to turn things
around.
The Swann Corporation could only remain in his hands, and the future heir could only be Johnathan, not Catherine!
“Take care of your affairs, and don’t give me any more trouble!”
Korbin left the study, leaving behind a warning for Liana and Rachael.
