All Her Secrets

Catherine deliberately avoided the crowd of students leaving when the school bell rang and waited for five minutes before leaving. Just as she walked out of the school gate, she sensed someone’s gaze on her.

She calmly walked along the road without addressing them, and soon that person appeared in front of her.

The man was dressed stylishly in branded clothes. Although his appearance was ordinary, he had makeup on and wore a strong cologne, which indicated that he worked in the movie industry.

“Hello, are you Catherine Swann?” The man had a professional smile on his face as he looked at Catherine. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Catherine raised an eyebrow, squinted her eyes, and looked him up and down with a chilling gaze.

Kim felt a sudden chill run through his body as he gazed into Catherine’s cold eyes. Regret flooded him as he realized coming here was a mistake.

Catherine spoke, devoid of warmth, “What do you want with me?”

Kim swallowed nervously. He didn’t expect such a little girl would be so difficult to handle. After all, he had been in the industry for many years and dealt with many people.

“This girl is truly something,” Kim thought.

“I’m Kim Morris, your sister Audrey’s manager. I came to find you today because I want you to work with your sister and go on a reality show.”

“No deal.”

Catherine shoved the two words in Kim’s face and walked casually around him.

It took Kim a minute to realize what had happened. “My God. She really is different from her sister,” Kim thought.

“This girl is the complete opposite of Audrey. No wonder Audrey didn’t want to work with her at the beginning.”

However, Kim was a person who never gave up because of minor setbacks. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have signed Audrey in the first place. She alone was quite a problem at that time.

He said toward Catherine, who was already walking away, “Audrey is your sister. Are you going to watch her career ruined? She just started getting into it.”

Catherine didn’t look back, but she slowed down a bit.

Kim continued, “Do you know she’s been having a rough time lately? Your family has never stopped sabotaging her career. Now she’s been labeled as a cheater. Her career will be ruined if she can’t make it to this reality show.

“Audrey told me that you are not like the other Swanns. You truly treat her as your sister and will protect her. Can’t you help her for once? If this reality show is a success, Audrey can definitely turn her situation around.”

Kim let out a frustrated sigh as Catherine walked away without even glancing back. He watched as Catherine disappeared into the crowd. He was secretly glad he didn’t tell Audrey he would see Catherine today. Or Catherine’s refusal would have broken Audrey’s heart.

Even though Audrey appeared to be casual about family relationships, she cared about the bond between family members more than she appeared to.

Kim and Audrey needed to come up with an alternative plan.

After getting back to her home, Catherine returned to the basement.

These days, Korbin had been making a lot of moves and kept himself beyond busy. Rachael was taking care of Johnathan at the hospital. Even though he could have been discharged within three days, Johnathan insisted he stayed in the hospital for a week.

Liana, the only person at the house, certainly didn’t dare bother Catherine. Therefore, Catherine basically was roaming freely at the family mansion.

Catherine found herself playing a game out of boredom. However, it had become monotonous for her as she mindlessly pressed buttons. Just when she was about to take a break, Ronin called.

Catherine casually pressed the answer button, put the call on speaker, and set the phone aside.

During the call, Ronin’s voice sounded enthusiastic as he talked with Catherine, who positively impacted his mood.

“Boss, I have some information that may be helpful.”

“Mmm,” Catherine answered with her eyes closed, encouraging Ronin to go on.

“The woman you asked me to investigate, her name is Lilly Muller. Her family owns a real estate company. They have some money.”

Ronin said they had some money because the Mullers’ wealth was just a drop in the bucket compared with the amount of money his boss had.

“After Lilly was caught by you at the mall last time, she investigated you. But she couldn’t do anything to you, let alone the Duncans. So, she went to a relative of the Muller family, who was a high-ranking

employee at a certain TV station, and targeted Audrey.”

Audrey was her doormat this time because she was considered an easy target.

For a long time, Catherine did not talk at all. Ronin O’Connor couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, should I take action and teach the Muller family a lesson? Let them know that they can’t mess with us?”

This was already the second time Boss had him investigate what happened to Audrey.

Ronin could tell that his boss liked Audrey more than the other Swanns and treated her differently.

Moreover, Audrey didn’t seem that detestable. Ronin thought, “Being bullied like this, she didn’t even think about asking Boss for help.

“Those clowns were just jumping around in front of Boss. If Boss gives me the go-ahead, those people will be completely done for.”

After contemplating, Catherine spoke again, “No need.” She only wanted to understand the situation. She never liked meddling, so naturally, she wouldn’t interfere in Audrey’s business.

In the following days, Catherine repeated her routine of going to school, taking a nap there, and returning home.

After finishing school for the day, she received a call from Audrey.

Audrey sounded a bit anxious on the phone. “Kathy, can you come and help me? Bring me something. I’m at…”

Catherine bought a random piece of clothing at the mall and hurried to the location Audrey told her.

On that day, Audrey was filming a commercial for a waterproof cosmetics brand and had to perform an underwater scene.

Audrey suddenly got her period and didn’t have anything with her. In this crisis, she could only call Catherine for help.

Catherine got her tampons as requested.

Audrey emerged from the bathroom, greeted Catherine with a smile, and expressed her gratitude, “I’m so glad you’re here. Otherwise, I would’ve been clueless about what to do today!”

Catherine gave her a curious look and asked, “Do you happen to have an assistant?” She knew Audrey had a male agent, and asking a guy for help with this situation was awkward. But Catherine thought a female assistant should be with her sister to take care of her.

Hearing this, Audrey smiled lightly as if laughing at herself. “With my status, how could I have an assistant? My agent already handles seven or eight people. The reason why I can occasionally get some work is because of our friendship. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even have had the opportunity for today’s shoot.”

Realizing she had said too much, Audrey quickly changed the topic and asked, “Kathy, do you have any plans tonight?”

Catherine didn’t know what Audrey was up to, but she still shook her head.

Audrey felt a bit happy when she realized Catherine was free tonight.

“Great, wait for me then. After I finish the last scene, I’ll treat you to dinner!”

Before Catherine could respond to Audrey, she was called by the crew for the shoot.

Since there didn’t seem to be anything urgent, Catherine decided to wait as Audrey had suggested.
