All Her Secrets

At this moment, Triston was at the Lamberts'.
Branden had a business deal with Triston, so he let his driver drop him off at the Lamberts'.
The day before yesterday, Triston got injured, and now he was lying at home. Branden cby to check on him. After stepping into the house, Branden spotted Triston lounging in the living room on a chaise longue, and his foot was tically swathed in bandages. If one didn't know better, he would think the injury was severe. Aidan was also there. He slouched across from Triston with a casual demeanor. His phone was in hand, and his fingers darted across the screen as he played a game.
As soon as Branden entered, Aidan dropped the phone and ignored his in- gteammates.
Triston had the sreaction. If not for his limited mobility, he would have rushed over to Branden already. As Branden settled down, he glanced at Triston's heavily bandaged leg. "That bad of an injury?" Before Triston could say a word, Aidan preemptively exposed his charade.
Aidan said, "He's just putting on a show! I was with him at the hospital. The doctor said it was just a tiny fracture. Mr. Lambert exaggerated it all for
sympathy!" Audrey had a film shoot in Loxton these past few days. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Triston went to visit the set. However, during the shoot, Audrey's wire rigging malfunctioned. Triston quickly rushed to the scene and successfully rescued her.
He did save her, but in the process, he got a minor leg fracture.
Initially, the doctor thought Triston was young and strong and didn't need a cast.
But Triston was full of cunning plans and wanted Audrey to appreciate his heroics more. He not only convinced the doctor to cast his leg but also exaggerated the bandaging to the extreme. He almost had them carry him out on a stretcher.
Triston felt irked by the interference. He gave Aidan a swift kick with his uninjured foot. "My leg's hurt, not my mouth. Got something useful to say?" Aidan glanced at him with disdain. "I don't even care to bother with you!" Then Aidan turned to Branden and said, "Mr. Duncan, I heard the folks from the Wales offended Catherine, and you took care of them. Is that true? 11 Today, the intebuzzed with news about the Wales, from the daughter of the Wales to the entire household. The once-prominent family seemed to be on the brink of collapse overnight.
Outsiders didn't know the situation and speculated wildly, but insiders whispered that the Wales' sudden downfall was due to crossing paths with the Duncans.
During recent business wars, both domestic and international, the Duncans' strength had astonished everyone in the industry.
In such a situation, the fact that the Duncans managed to defeat the Breens and cout unscathed spoke volumes about their power.
While the Wales had been riding high, how long their streak would last remained a mystery. For the Wales, facing off against the Duncans seemed like taking on a titan.
Seeing Aidan gossiping, Triston chimed in. "I heard it was the daughter of the Wales who hit one of Catherine's friends." As soon as Triston got wind that the collapse of the Wales was related to the Duncans, he reached out to Paxton. After persistent persuasion, he managed to extract sinformation from Paxton.
Paxton had a poker face and was tight-lipped. Getting anything out of him was no easy feat.
There was no need for Branden to keep secrets from his two friends. He said, Kathy did it herself. She hacked into the Wales' computer and got all that info out." Not only did she hack the Wales' computer, but she also orchestrated the downfall.
The world believed the Duncans were behind the Wales' collapse, but in reality, the Duncans hadn't lifted a finger.
Triston and the others believed Branden. They knew that Catherine's prowess was unfathomable and par with Branden's.
The Wales really lacked foresight. They dared to offend Catherine's friend. That was just asking for trouble. Aidan shared the latest news. He said, I heard that the head of the Wales is in a panic now. He tries to cozy up to Kamren from Northeville. He even sent his niece over!" In their circle, secrets didn't stay secret, especially with someone as flashy and loud as Kamren. As soon as he received the kind gesture of the Wales, he boasted about it everywhere. Rumor had it that the niece of the Wales beca joke in her art school.
Within hours, word spread within their circle.
Triston knew of Kamren. Despite being known as a playboy, Triston believed in mutual consent and never forced anyone. But Kamren didn't have such standards. The niece of the Wales even could be treated as his granddaughter. He really had no scruples.
However, the Wales had offended Catherine. As Catherine's friends, they couldn't easily let the Wales rise from their mess.
"Mr. Duncan, Kamren may not have much else, but he's wealthy. If we don't intervene, the Wales might get through this crisis. Why don't we team up and give the Wales a bit of a setback?" "No need," Branden replied coldly.
Catherine's actions merely prevented the Wales from being as overbearing as before. But the Wales' he Wales' current Ve decision was digging their own grave. Kamren operated in shady ways. The Wales' association with him would lead to their downfall. As for the niece of the Wales, being troubled by her own uncle was perhaps her just deserts.
Watching them teeter on the edge of ruin, there was no reason for Branden to play the hero and pull them back from the brink.

"We'll stay out of the Wales' affairs. With what Mr. Duncan said, the Wales won't have a good outcome. Let's just wait and watch," Aidan said.
Triston believed every word. Just by Branden's smile, he knew the Wales were in
for a rough ride.
