All Her Secrets

Chapter 338 Are You Blind?
The competition officially began. Because it was the preliminary rounds, it was relatively simple. Each team had five to ten
minutes of performance time. After ten minutes, the music would automatically stop, signaling their time was over.
After the sixth team finished their performance, Ronin still did not intend to wake Catherine. When Bryan saw that, he became a
little anxious.
He reached out to push Ronin, who was playing games on his phone and said in a low voice, “Stop playing. It’s almost our turn
to go backstage and prepare.”
The ninth and tenth team was eagerly awaiting their turn to perform. However, being the eighth team, they were still behaving in
an unhurried manner. The lead singer was still sleeping!
Ronin looked at Bryan disdainfully.” What’s the hurry? It’s not as if you’re rushing to meet your end.”
Bryan’s temper sparked upon hearing his words. He wanted to charge toward Ronin and fight him. However, it was almost their
turn to perform, so Bryan could only give up on that notion. He would endure it first!
Bryan suppressed his anger, and Ronin did not push his luck, too. He patted Catherine’s shoulder lightly and said, “Catherine, it’s
almost our turn to perform!”
Following that, he heard a pleasant- sounding voice.
“Okay.”
Although the sound was soft, there was a seductive tinge in her hoarse voice. It was extremely pleasing to the ears. After that,
Catherine removed the hat covering her face, revealing her beautiful features.
Liana’s team was one of the earlier ones to perform, so they had already ended their performance some time ago.
Having mingled in the art industry for a long time, Liana knew many people. She was acquainted with many participating teams.
At this moment, Liana had her arm linked with another girl’s. That girl was the team leader of Belmont High School’s
representative team and the campus belle. It was said that she was an all-rounded artist.

Her name was Emma Hazel. Hailing from a family of performers, Emma learned the cello since young. She was well-known in
the music industry for being an exceptional and gifted cellist. Moreover, she was even hailed as the hope of all cellists in Casier.
However, when she was taking the admission examination for the art academy, this genius, who had a guaranteed spot
overseas, gave up on that chance and her career as a cellist that she had been pursuing. Instead, she chose to enroll at the
famous Belmont High School.
Although Belmont High School was also an art academy, it was not a school that nurtured artists. Instead, many students would
be sent into the entertainment industry every year.
Everyone was puzzled by Emma’s decision. They felt she was akin to a star that had fallen from the sky and wasted her
marvelous talent. However, by the principle, “A real diamond never loses its shine,” Emma proved everyone wrong.
She was an amazing cellist. Despite giving up on that career path, when she entered Belmont High School, she was like gold
and continued excelling in everything she did.
Many entertainment agencies were desperate to have a look at this beautiful and talented rising star. Especially since Emma
was born into a family of performers, many of her elders had a say within the industry.
Many people were certain that Emma could quickly become the most popular and youngest actress once she entered the
entertainment industry.
Emma had not even officially entered the entertainment industry yet, but many people had heard of her name. Once she became
formally part of that industry, with some promotion and marketing, and as long as she had a natural appeal to the public, she
could become renowned.
If they handled this well, she could gain large crowds of fans and get much media attention. Hence, many eyes were drawn to
Emma the moment she appeared. Some people predicted that her team would become the winner. After all, she was very
influential.
Liana held onto Emma’s arm and walked up the stairs. The initially narrow path became even narrower as they walked side by
side.
Catherine kept her head lowered as she kept close to the wall and walked downward. Her shoulders brushed lightly against the
other party’s.

It was a gentle brush against the shoulder. Normal people would not be bothered about that, so Catherine kept quiet. However,
when she took a step forward, a voice called out.
“You aren’t going to apologize after knocking into someone? Are you blind?
The person who spoke was rude. Not only was her voice loud, but it was also full of mocking contempt. The surrounding people
all looked over. Realizing that Emma was the one who had spoken, an increasing number of people looked over.
Catherine stopped and turned around. Without waiting for her to speak, Ronin, who had been behind her, stepped forward.
“Don’t you have manners? Don’t babble nonsense the moment you speak. You have created such a big fuss in the venue. Are
you going to be held accountable for it?” he remarked.
Catherine looked up slightly and looked over at Emma. Coincidentally, when she looked over, Emma also looked toward her.
With just one glance, Emma recognized who Catherine was. Emma liked to be fully prepared. When she decided to participate in
this competition, she did a background check on all participating teams.
She knew that the girl staring at her was Catherine, the popular candidate whose name had previously been on the trending
topics!
Emma crossed her arms around her chest. She lowered her chin and lowered her eyes at Catherine in a condescending fashion.
“Oh? I wondered who it was... So it’s the champion of the Loyalty Academy’s celebration gala. No wonder she’s so arrogant.”
After saying that, Emma threw a side glance at Liana.
“Liana, I heard that you lost to her last time. Tsk, I really feel that it’s a pity that you lost. I wonder what kind of tricks she used in
order to win. She’s remarkable!”
Earlier, when they were heading up the stairs, Emma had already seen Catherine. Emma subconsciously tilted her body to the
side when they walked past each other to avoid Catherine, but Liana shoved her a little.
Emma would not have bumped into Catherine if it were not for Liana. Although Emma knew what Liana was planning, she did
not mind Liana making use of her to teach Catherine a lesson. After all, she also detested Catherine.

“I heard that you gained quite a lot of popularity because you are rumored to be in a relationship with Grayson. Is that true? If it
is, why don’t you teach us how you did it? Allow us to learn a trick or two from you.”
The people surrounding them stared at Catherine with knowing looks, seeming to be certain that something was going on
between her and Grayson. After all, there was news on Twitter previously that claimed that Catherine and Grayson were quite
close to one another.
Could it be that Catherine harassed Grayson in order to achieve her goal?
Nobody knew the truth except for the parties involved. Ronin and Bryan were enraged to see how rude Emma was toward
Catherine. Ronin was about to explode in anger. All he wanted to do was dash up and tear that pretentious bitch apart!
Seeing that Ronin wanted to attack Emma, Catherine subtly blocked him. However, she managed to block Ronin, but not Bryan.
Bryan stepped forward, and his cold gaze landed on Emma, staring at her with disgust.
“As a girl, I can’t believe that you would slander another girl’s reputation in public like this based on groundless accusation. To
think that you were born into a family of performers. Emma, if the elders at home get wind of this, do you think they’d feel
ashamed of you?”
Emma did not expect that Bryan would stand up for Catherine. His handsome looks alone were enough to make the girls around
go crazy for him and lose their sanity. Emma was furious and yelled at Bryan, “Y-you...”
Bryan interrupted coldly without waiting for her to speak, “All I want to do now is hand you a mirror so you can see your
reflection. That way, you’ll know how ugly you look now.”
Bryan paused, and Ronin finally had a chance to step out and say, “That’s right, you ugly woman! You really remind me of a
saying that ugly people often make trouble!”
Emma was boiling with anger, and she clenched her fists tightly. She stared at Catherine with a dark and seething look, seeming
like she would go up in flames at any moment.
“You’re indeed amazing, Catherine, to be able to fool all these boys and let them stand up for you.
“Are you a clown who only knows to hide behind boys’ backs and depend on them to defend your image?”
