All Her Secrets

After Catherine left, Mr. David abruptly stopped the banquet, saying it was canceled due to health concerns.

No one knew what had happened. It was a big mystery. People were already curious about Catherine, who had a reputation as a “troublemaker.” Now, with this unexpected event, their curiosity grew even stronger.

Everyone was curious and eager for the Swanns to hold a gathering and address their questions and doubts directly.

Liana joined Rachael and the others in the car. One moment, she welcomed people with a smile, but her expression turned serious as soon as the car door closed.

“Mommy, we made a big impression today. They say we have someone extraordinary in our family. There are even rumors that Mr. David’s order is exclusively for us. Mommy, aren’t we amazing? Thanks to Catherine, we’re in the spotlight!”

Liana smirked and looked at Rachael with a mocking expression. Her sarcastic remarks and tone annoyed everyone around.

Catherine sat in the RV’s back corner. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

With her face covered by a hat, it was hard to see her current expression. She rested her head sideways as if Liana’s complaints had nothing to do with her.

Liana, seeing Catherine’s indifferent attitude, became even more enraged. She stomped her foot in frustration and shot a sharp glance at Catherine.

Liana was seething with anger. Not only had Catherine stolen her spotlight, but now she had to endure the embarrassment caused by her.

Liana gave Johnathan a piercing look, signaling him to speak up.

Their sibling relationship, usually strained, had changed. They now shared a common enemy: Catherine.

As Liana’s gaze met Johnathan’s, his face twisted with disdain. He then turned to Catherine and spoke,

“Taking the spotlight? It’s so embarrassing. If we don’t get Mr. David’s chip, everyone will laugh at us. She always seems to have bad luck!”

Rachael remained silent as her children accused Catherine. She felt deeply embarrassed herself.

No matter how nicely Rachael dressed for an event, the talk always revolved around Catherine.

Undoubtedly, Catherine was like a disaster. Since her arrival, the Swanns had experienced nothing but turmoil. Rachael genuinely wanted to send her back to the countryside.

After hearing words like “troublemaker” and “jinx,” Catherine slowly removed her hat, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.

Her pale face had dark, bright eyes that slowly turned towards Johnathan.

Just a moment ago, Johnathan was furious, but when he looked into Catherine’s eyes, he felt a jolt in his heart. He quickly hid behind Liana.

Liana looked at Johnathan’s reaction scornfully, then glanced up at Catherine with a sneering smile.

Mockingly, she taunted, “What’s wrong, Catherine? Can’t handle a little family joke? And let’s be honest, Johnathan didn’t say anything wrong. If Mr. David chooses someone else, it’ll bring shame upon us!”

Catherine calmly responded to their remarks, maintaining a composed expression. She retorted, “If that’s the case, then what about the restroom incident?”

Liana’s complexion instantly turned unpleasant, her face growing even paler. She seemed panicked and at a loss for words.

Liana was caught off guard by Catherine’s knowledge of the incident. Concerned about the potential exposure, even among family members, she desperately hoped that Catherine would keep it a secret.

Their attempts to harm Catherine proved futile. With just a single look and a simple remark, she left them speechless. The contrast between their actions and Catherine’s response was remarkable, showcasing her impressive skills and capabilities.

Previously, Liana went as far as giving money to a waiter and even followed Mr. David to the restroom. However, her actions ended up getting her kicked out in the end.

And yet, Catherine somehow found out about it.

Initially, Catherine found the whole incident amusing, but Liana’s desperate behavior became increasingly irritating. She decided to give Liana a warning.

Korbin also noticed the tension between the three. Catherine effortlessly silenced both Liana and Johnathan. Was this girl truly so powerful?

Korbin’s gaze shifted to Catherine, who stood in the corner. She had a strong-willed personality, and not only did she seem to have a good relationship with Mr. David, but she also intrigued him.

If there was a possibility…

Korbin’s eyes lit up with a hint of excitement as he delved into deep contemplation.

As the car pulled up to the Swanns’ residence, Catherine, without prompting, roused from her sleep and became fully awake.

She stood up, got off the car, and as she passed by the Swanns, she didn’t even glance at them, her expression unchanged.

Liana’s fury intensified, and she vented her anger by forcefully stomping her foot on the ground. “Mom, Dad, just look at her!” she exclaimed, drawing her parents’ attention.

Rachael’s expression soured. She held the same view about Catherine, finding her impolite and disrespectful. Rachael believed Catherine lacked consideration for others, which she found completely unacceptable.

If Korbin wasn’t present, Rachael genuinely wished to teach Catherine a lesson.

In the face of the collective discontentment, Korbin consciously decided to step forward and break the lingering silence.

Just as Catherine was on the verge of stepping through the doorway, he called her, catching her attention just in time.

“Catherine, hold on!”
