All Her Secrets

Chapter 219

Ronin received an email. It was an anonymous one that was sent to Sugar’s business email. The email said a high school student plagiarized Sugar’s song and lied that she wrote it, using it to chase fame.

Ronin was furious just reading the email title. He could not help but swear, “What the hell? Damn it. Let me see who the plagiarist is. I must teach her a lesson!”

When he clicked open the email, he first saw Catherine’s photo. He was perplexed and scanned the text. The email content talked about how Catherine had plagiarized Sugar’s song. Ronin rolled his eyes and closed the Mail app.

Ronin wondered which idiot dared to do such a stupid thing. It was so hateful to waste his time. What a hilarious thing that Catherine would plagiarize herself!

Ronin did not know why people nowadays were so weird. Why would they send such a boring email? He was so speechless about it. He had no time for this. He still had codes to modify.

Some lunatics kept attacking their base, and Ronin needed to guard the front line for Catherine. He would ignore such idiots who sent the email in case they felt good about doing those silly things.

It was soon came the celebration gala. The big shots attended and gathered in the school, let alone the students and teachers.

The principal was taken aback. Even though he had sent invitations to the top graduates, he never expected that so many of them had attended. Each one of the big shots was influential enough in Casier.

The black Bentley slowly came to a halt, followed by several colorful sports cars. The principal knew it must be someone powerful that came. He stopped what he was doing and came to greet the comer. His eyes widened in shock when he saw the comer getting out of the car.

“Oh boy. Am I dreaming? Why would this one come here?” thought the principal. He trotted forward while whispering to his secretary, who was following him, ” Inform the media. It will be a bombshell. Ask them to send their best journalists and cameramen here.”

The secretary glanced at the comer and was astounded as well. He dared not delay and made the calls to all media right away.

“Mr. Duncan, to what do I owe the honor to have you here?” The principal stood in front of Branden respectfully with his waist slightly bent. He looked so humble.

Branden just darted a glance at him without saying anything. The principal did not take it to heart. The principal might have been astonished if Branden had replied to his words.

The principal looked up and saw some young men standing behind Branden. He knew the one standing nearest to Branden was Triston and did not recognize the rest. Yet, he knew that they must be extraordinary.

“Mr. Lambert, what a pleasure to have you here with us too!”

Triston grinned at the principal. He remembered that the principal was nice to him when he was still a student, so he greeted the principal enthusiastically.

“Sir, it’s been a long time, right? You look younger than I expected! We heard that this year’s celebration gala would be grand, and we are available for it. What? Are we not welcome?”

The principal laughed joyfully as he looked at Triston. “How come! I’m so glad that you made time to attend the celebration gala. It’s a great honor for our school. The school is getting better and better thanks to the excellent students like you.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After exchanging words with the principal, Triston looked up and saw no trace of Branden. He hurriedly said goodbye to the principal and went after Branden.

He took a few steps and saw Branden’s back. In front of Branden stood Catherine. Triston’s fellows were all there, while Triston was the only one missing.

The principal wished to talk some time longer with Triston. He had no guts to speak to Branden but could chat with Triston. It would make him look great if any journalist had taken photos of him and Triston and put them in the newspaper.

However, Triston left in a hurry without even finishing his words with the principal once he noticed that he had lost track of Branden. Following the gaze of Triston, the principal saw the big guns all gathering around Catherine. It looked like they were friends with her.

The principal was confused and murmured to himself, “Never have I heard that Catherine is so capable. Why would she attract so much attention?”

His secretary stood beside him and reminded him. “Sir, no matter how Catherine was like before, she is the daughter of the Swanns now. It’s not strange that she knew those gentlemen. Besides, Bryan is with her. Perhaps Mr. Duncan is there for his nephew.”

The secretary had just done talking when he saw the man who arrived. His mouth was agape in shock.

“Oh, my goodness. Sir, look who’s behind you! I can’t believe my eyes…’

The principal was somewhat scornful, thinking his secretary was making such a fuss. Branden was there, and who else would be more influential than Branden? When he jerked his head unwillingly and saw the man, he almost fainted out of excitement.

“My good lord. Why would this one be here?” the principal exclaimed in his heart. Ronin could not stand it and furrowed his brow as he saw those people who came. He said with displeasure, “Why are you all here?”

Not only him, but Bryan was also annoyed. Why did those people come here instead of staying at their companies and working?

Triston found it interesting to see the dissatisfied looks of Ronin and Bryan. He said, “We are here for your Boss, of course. She’s going to sing today. Am I right? How can we bear to miss this?”

Triston had heard Catherine’s attendance at the audition, but that time, Branden did not come to watch it, nor did Branden allow them to come. It was a pity for Triston. Now that they finally had the chance, how would they let it slip?

“That’s right, man,” said Aidan as he put his hand on Triston’s shoulder and looked at the crowd with a smile.

Ronin did not bother to care about those two idiots and turned to clean his drumsticks. Bryan also tuned up his guitar. Triston and Aidan looked at Ronin and Bryan and were irritated.

Aidan asked bluntly, “What do they mean?”

“Well.” Triston sneered and defended himself, “Nothing. They thought you were an idiot.”

He looked back and saw Branden sitting next to Catherine. Triston wanted to join them, but after a second thought, he gave up. He could not afford the consequence of offending Branden.

When Branden sat down, he covered his coat on Catherine’s lap. Today, Catherine was wearing a simple hoodie and shorts. She looked casual and sporty yet still striking.

Her long, straight legs under the shorts were the most eye-catching part.Many people noticed her legs, but no one dared to stare at them. They could only peek at them from time to time.

However, that was enough for people to be amazed. The sudden warmth made Catherine notice the coat on her legs.

Well-tailored by famous designers, the suit coat was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now, it was placed on her lap casually.

Catherine tilted her head. She locked her bright eyes on Branden with questions.Branden was calm and did not feel uncomfortable under her searching gaze. He said softly, “The air conditioning here is too cool. I don’t want you to catch a cold.”

Catherine’s eyes were gleaming as she heard Branden. She sparkled.

“Branden is… so adorable,” thought Catherine.
