All Her Secrets By Chestnut

It was indeed more attractive than 20 percent shares of the Swann Corporation. There was a chance

that the Swann Corporation might not profit as much, but the game was a sure win.

Branden was indeed an excellent businessman. He had just bought a chip from her and was already

trying to buy the game from her.

No wonder the Duncans could become the wealthiest family in Eskana. They were really good.

Catherine thought that Branden might be going for something more than the game.

He might have wanted to learn her identity and role in Hacker Alliance. However, since he wanted to

know that so desperately, Catherine was willing to give him a chance to see what he could learn.

“Sure!” Catherine answered briskly. Catherine’s squinted eyes shone with a sharp gaze as she looked

at Branden.

Branden smiled lightly and playfully.

It seemed that the girl was indeed ruthless!

The following day, Catherine got up early and sat in the living room of the Swanns.

It was Monday today. It was also the first time for Catherine to go to school.

Liana and Johnathan were up too. Catherine had to go to school, and so did the two of them.

Korbin finished his breakfast and left for the company in a hurry. Since Catherine hadn’t taken over the

projects of the Swann Corporation yet, Korbin was still in charge of the Swann Corporation.

After he left, Liana also put down her cutleries, stood up, and left with Johnathan as though they had

already agreed upon it.

Before Liana left, she turned to shoot Catherine a look and smiled meaningfully.

“Catherine, it is your first day at school today. Don’t be late. It’s not a big deal for you to be punished,

but it is big if you embarrass the Swanns.”

With that, Liana left arrogantly without waiting for Catherine’s response.

Catherine didn’t answer Liana. She didn’t even give Liana a look. She continued to eat her breakfast

slowly and gracefully at her own tempo.

As it was not long after Vicente had passed away, Audrey was still staying at the Swanns.

As she saw that Catherine had finally put down her cutleries, Audrey said carefully, “Kathy, you really

shouldn’t be late on your first day of school. Why don’t we leave now?”

For no reason at all, Audrey couldn’t help but be intimidated by her younger sister, that had come home

after so many years.

At that, Catherine raised her head slowly. Her cold gaze fell upon Audrey.

“We?” She spat the word out lightly, then paused.

Audrey understood immediately and nodded with a light smile. “Yes, ‘we.’ I’m taking you to school

today. After all, it is your first day of school. Someone has to go with you, right?”

“There’s no need for that!”

Catherine rejected Audrey directly without thinking.

However, in Audrey’s eyes, Catherine was only shy and didn’t want to bother her.

For Catherine to feel the love of her older sister, Audrey persuaded Catherine with all she got.

To everyone’s surprise, Audrey succeeded. It was not that Catherine’s heart softened toward Audrey

but that Audrey was too loquacious.

Catherine couldn’t bear her nagging anymore and compromised eventually.

As the two of them were ready to leave, they found that the family’s cars were all gone.

Audrey called the butler over to ask about it immediately. The butler looked at them somewhat

helplessly.

Even though the Swanns did not favor the two girls, they were still daughters of the Swanns. He

couldn’t afford to offend them too much.

“I’m sorry, Miss Audrey. There are five cars in the family. Apart from the one that is out grocery

shopping, the other cars were all taken. Miss Liana and Mr. Johnathan left separately today, taking one

car each. Therefore, there are no more cars available.”

Hearing the butler’s explanation, Audrey understood immediately.

It seemed that Liana did this deliberately for Catherine to come to school late and be punished.

Audrey was afraid that Catherine would worry and comforted her quickly, “Don’t worry. I’ll call a cab

immediately. We’ll be at the school soon.”

1/4

The Swanns lived in a remote neighborhood of affluent families. Few cabs would come in here. Even if

Audrey really managed to call a cab, it would take a long time for one to get here. Audrey knew clearly

but continued to comfort Catherine, as she didn’t want Catherine to panic.

Catherine looked up at Audrey. She did not look worrisome at all as she said lightly, “There’s no need!”

With that, Catherine picked up her school bag and walked towards the door.

Seeing that she was leaving, Audrey hurried after her.

She couldn’t help but wonder if Catherine wanted to walk to school. If she really planned to walk all the

way to school, she might not get there even in the afternoon when school ended.

Despite being furious at what Liana did, Audrey could do nothing but call a cab at the same time when

running after Catherine.

Suddenly, Audrey realized that Catherine was going in the opposite direction of the school. She

shouted in a hurry.

“Catherine, you’re going the wrong way. The school is this way!”

However, she saw that Catherine suddenly stopped in front of a luxurious mansion.

Audrey didn’t know what Catherine was thinking about. All she knew was that Catherine would really

be late if they didn’t get on their way soon.
