All Her Secrets

Isadora was dragged into a car by Catherine and taken to the Wales, bound and gagged. The servants were stunned when they saw Isadora taken to the front door in a disheveled state.
"Open the door!" Catherinė snorted coldly. The servants obediently opened the door, intimidated by her imposing demeanor and the fact that she had Isadora in her grasp.
Catherine dragged Isadora into the house and threw her into the living room. The commotion drew the attention of the Wales, who immediately rushed downstairs. When they saw Isadora gagged and bound on the floor, they were shocked.
Ruth Wale rushed forward, trying to help Isadora. However, Catherine kicked Isadora in front of everyone, causing Isadora to grimace in pain with no chance even to cry out.
Enraged, Ruth shouted at Catherine, "Who are you? How dare you beat my daughter! I'll make sure you pay for this!" Emma, who had just cdown from upstairs, recognized Catherine and was furious to see her cousin being brought to the Wales in such a manner.
"Catherine, you are too audacious. This is the Wales' residence. How dare you treat my cousin this way? Do you have any respect for our family?" Seeing his daughter humiliated, the head of the Wales, Elton, ordered the servants, "Beat this woman up!" However, a cold and deep voice interrupted them before they could do anything.
"Mr. Wale, that's quite a bold statement." Elton looked up and was surprised to see the unexpected visitor. He hurriedly cdown the stairs to meet Branden.
"Mr. Duncan, what brings you here?" Branden glanced at him and then walked over to Catherine, wrapping his arm around her shoulder in a supportive gesture. "I've got this." With those three words, Branden gave Catherine the greatest authority. She had his backing no matter what she did tonight, including destroying the Wales.
Elton was considered a successful businessman in Loxton. Sensing something amiss, he approached Branden, asking, "Mr. Duncan, Isadora is my daughter. I would like to know exactly what she did wrong to deserve this treatment from you?" Catherine glanced disdainfully at Elton and sarcastically remarked, "She's your daughter. Go ask her." Elton, facing Catherine's tough attitude and Branden's support, felt powerless despite his urge to explode in anger. To uncover the truth, he had no choice but to approach his daughter, Isadora. "What's going on? Tell me, and I'll handle it!" he demanded.
As Elton approached to release Isadora, Paxton shot him a stern look, stopping Elton in his tracks. Paxton took matters into his own hards, removing the cloth gag from Isadora's mouth but not untying her.
Freed to speak, Isadora wasted no tin expressing her grievances. "Dad, I had a dispute with Catherine's roommate. I accidentally pushed her over. In retaliation, Catherine beatup." When Elton heard his daughter's explanation, his face darkened. He turned to Branden and said coldly, "Mr. Duncan, the Wales may not be as powerful as the Duncans, but that doesn't justify being bullied into silence. If it comes to a showdown, the Duncans won't cout unscathed either!" These words sounded somewhat unconvincing, as the true extent of the Duncans' power had becapparent recently. The Duncans had managed to escape from the Breens' siege and even managed to trap the Breens in the process. Throughout the country, few enterprises possessed such capabilities.
Rumors had it that the Duncans' power was unfathomable. If it weren't for Branden's unexpected visit, Elton wouldn't have spoken in such a manner.
Catherine's patience had worn thin, and she didn't want to beat around the bush with these people any longer. "Paxton!" she ordered, and Paxton immediately handed over sdocuments to Elton.
"Mr. Wale, this is a post written by Miss Wale, targeting Miss Swann," Paxton said.
Elton looked at the contents of the post and was dumbfounded.
Catherine was Branden's fiancée. How could someone keep her? Or worse, by an old man? This was ridiculous! Elton threw the documents before Isadora and sternly questioned, "Is this your doing?" The severity of his voice made Isadora tremble, unable to lift her head.

Elton exclaimed in distress, "How could you be so foolish?" Isadora still claimed that she had done nothingn wrong. She even shouted, "Since she dared to do it, I do have the right to
expose it!" Elton was no longer patient and slapped Isadora. "You're so foolish! She is Mr. Duncan's fiancée, do you understand?" Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel

Isadora instinctively glanced at
Branden. She had only just noticed
how exceptionally handsand
imposing he looked. This was the
first tshe had seen her father speak so subserviently to someone, which someone showed just how powerful the
Duncans were. If Catherine was his fiancée, then how could she be kept by an old man? Despite the truth being right in front of her, Isadora still refused to admit her mistake. She lifted her head arrogantly and said, "Just because of this, you hit me? If it's a misunderstanding, I can apologize!" Catherine stepped
forward and approached Isadora. "What? You hit Amelia, so why can't I
hit you? Tell me. How formidable is the power of the Wales that you look down on everyone like this?" Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
From the conversation between the few individuals, Elton understood the whole
situation. He knew his om daughter was in the wrong, and now Catherine had
caught her in the act.

In his mind, Elton cursed his daughter for being foolish. There were other ways to deal with Catherine. Why would she use such method as
spreading rumors about Catherinen being kept by an old man? Wasn't that just tarnishing Branden's reputation? Of course, Branden would
back her up! Elton took the initiative
to approach Branden and apologized,
"Mr. Duncan, please forgive my daughter's foolishness. I will make sure she apologizes to you properly,
no matter how you want to punish her. Will that be acceptable to you?" Branden remained silent and glanced at Catherine. Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this

Elton immediately understood and said to Catherine, "Miss Swann, we will
personally visit your injured roommate and cover all her medical and nutritional expenses." Catherine was not concerned about these things. She was focused on Elton's previous statement. "Are you sure I can punish her however I like?"
