All Her Secrets

Chapter 169

Without waiting for Branden to respond to Catherine, Paxton, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly said, “Mr. Lambert’s whereabouts have been strange lately. It seems he has lost his mind. We only heard something about him today.”

Upon hearing that, Catherine understood. Since it was Triston’s problem, she didn’t care. The place where Triston treated them for dinner was not far from Catherine and Branden. After a ten-minute drive, they had arrived.

After the car stopped, Branden intended to help Catherine open the door and help her get out of the car. Unexpectedly, Catherine got out of the car before him. Looking at his hand frozen in mid-air, Branden silently curled his lips, revealing a faint smile.

It was good that she wasn’t pretentious. He liked it. Paxton inquired about the location and guided the two forward. Triston had rushed out to meet them after receiving the message that they had arrived.

Aidan followed close behind. He was more excited than anyone to hear that Catherine was coming. Turning a corner and seeing Branden walking calmly in front, Aidan reached out to nudge Triston.

Triston saw them as soon as he looked up. He was about to say hello to them. Unexpectedly, Catherine, who had been walking forward, suddenly turned aside, which surprised them. Their eyes followed Catherine.

Branden was also surprised, but he didn’t follow immediately. He stood still and waited for Catherine. Catherine saw a familiar figure and walked straight over.

This was a very luxurious hotel in Casier. Its atrium was an open dining area, while the upstairs were private rooms. At that moment, an absurd farce was being staged in the atrium.

A few boys were dragging a girl dressed as a student who looked like she had just started high school, toying with her for fun.

The girl was being held down in the center by several boys while another boy stood on the couch holding a bottle of wine and pouring the wine into the girl’s mouth forcibly. The girl struggled, her face full of tears, but she couldn’t break free.

Catherine stepped forward and immediately kicked the boy who was holding the girl down. The sudden movement stunned everyone present.

No one expected a girl to dare to be so bold. It could be said that she didn’t hesitate when she kicked that boy. That kick was just too cool!

It was only after a moment that the crowd reacted. The troublemaker boy turned his head, ready to teach the malicious meddler a lesson. He was shocked when he saw that the malicious meddler was Catherine, saying, “Catherine, it’s you again!”

The troublemaker boy was no other than Catherine’s brother, Johnathan. Catherine had seen him from afar and noticed the lascivious and deceitful smile on his face.

When Johnathan saw Catherine, he looked at her like he had seen his enemy. Looking at her angrily, he said, “Catherine, I was worried that I wouldn’t have the time to settle the score with you. Just in time, you took the initiative to come to me. Today, I’ll let you see how powerful I am!”

Catherine stood leisurely with her hands in her pockets. Her gaze was clear and cold as she watched Johnathan shouting those stupid speeches.

The Swanns’ genes weren’t too bad, so how did her parents give birth to such a douchebag? Johnathan had not inherited any good genes of the Swanns. He was really a good-for-nothing.

If it weren’t for Catherine knowing Vicente’s nature, she would have doubted if her mother had done something to have a son to gain a foothold in the Swanns. Johnathan knew that Catherine could fight, and he would be afraid if he had to deal with her alone.

Right now, he had so many of his brothers there. He thought they could beat Catherine down with so many of them.

He raised his arms, and with a wicked grin, he shouted, “Bros, our new toy is here. If you beat her down for me, I’ll treat you guys to a night of whatever you want!”

Last time, Catherine beat him up in public, humiliating him and causing him to lie in a hospital for a few months. If he didn’t take this revenge, how would he be able to stay in this city in the future?

He was the only son of the Swanns. How could a jinx like Catherine dare to fight with him? Hearing Johnathan’s shout, the eyes of the surrounding men lit up as if they were hungry wolves seeing food.

It was not only because Johnathan promised to pay for everything tonight but also because of Catherine’s beautiful face. She was so beautiful. She had a better look than those actresses in the entertainment industry.

Her face was arousing, and her figure was perfect. Paired with the unique temperament emanating from Catherine, she was soulful and beautiful, making people incredibly aroused. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

There were many beautiful women in the world, but few looked good and had such a charming temperament. If such a stunning woman could be toyed with, it would be the most wonderful experience in the world.

The boy who was kicked to the floor by Catherine just now got up and approached Catherine with a mischievous smile.

“Beauty, I don’t blame you for kicking me. As long as you please me, I’ll help you plead with Mr. Johnathan, and he will let you go!”

Catherine had previously thought that Johnathan was just childish, but she didn’t realize that he was bad to the bone.

She finally understood why Vicente would make such a decision before his death. Korbin valued male children more than Vicente. If Vicente gave the power of the Swanns to Korbin, the future successor of the Swanns was bound to be Johnathan.

With such a dandy as the successor, it wouldn’t take long for Vicente’s life’s work to be destroyed. Seeing that Catherine didn’t respond, the boy who had just spoken to her in a rascal manner stepped right forward boldly, ready to make a move on Catherine.

Aidan, who was standing not too far away, looked dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but keep glancing toward the direction where Branden was.

Seeing Branden’s calm face, Aidan panicked. He had no choice but to tilt his head toward Triston and inquire, Isn’t it said that Mr. Duncan is exceptionally fond of Catherine? Why doesn’t he make a move in such a situation? What if Catherine suffers?”

Triston gave him a disgusted look and told him with his eyes, “You know nothing!”

It was possible that Catherine would have beaten them down before Branden even made a move. Aidan had never seen Catherine fight someone and had no idea what it was like when she fought. That was not even called fighting.

That was called one-sided abuse! They were no match for Catherine, yet they dared to fight against her. They were simply seeking death.

Branden didn’t make a move because he knew he didn’t need to, and Catherine didn’t like anyone else interfering in her affairs. When the boy’s hand was still 20 inches from Catherine’s face, a choking smell of smoke hit her.

Catherine frowned in disgust. She was most disgusted by this kind of stuff. She glanced at the boy’s hand and found that there was still mud hidden inside his fingernails, which made her feel nauseous.

Catherine didn’t even bother to use her hands. She lifted her leg directly and kicked the boy. She kicked the boy away. Catherine kicked him mercilessly this time, and that boy was kicked at least 10 feet away.

Then he hit the floor heavily. With a bang, he fainted instantly.
