All Her Secrets

Liana’s words just put Audrey in a very awkward situation. Audrey was sitting in situ on pins and needles.

With one glance, Catherine recognized what Audrey was thinking. After all, Audrey was a weak person. Even though she was bullied like this, she could still swallow the insult despite her rage.

Catherine put her hands into her pockets and looked coldly at Liana. Her seemingly composed and yet domineering demeanor just rendered the atmosphere even cooler.

Three seconds later, she said in an aloof voice, “Even though she has been expelled from the Swanns, so what? She still has the blood of the Swanns in her body. And she is the eldest daughter of the Swanns.”

The rich always stressed seniority.

Back then, Audrey was expelled from the Swanns because of a man. It was a total disgrace to the Swanns. However, she was the eldest daughter of the Swanns, after all. Otherwise, Korbin would not let her enter their home. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Faced with the whole family’s gaze, Korbin had to be even-handed. He told Liana, “Make an apology to your eldest sister.”

Liana was unhappy about this. Catherine was supposed to be punished. Why did Korbin ask her to make an apology first?

She was about to make a fuss when Rachael stopped her.

Rachael reached out her hand to stop Liana and strangely stared at the latter. She said in a composed yet august voice, “Liana, your daddy is right. Audrey is your eldest sister. You should make an apology to her.”

Liana could recognize the hidden meanings in her mother’s eyes. No matter how unhappy she was, she had to lower her head first.

She turned to look at Audrey, and there was no apologetic trace on her haughty face. She said perfunctorily, “Sorry. I was wrong just now!”

Considering her way of apology, if she were apologizing to Catherine, Catherine would have given Liana a beating.

Catherine would never let Liana act out in front of her.

On the contrary, Audrey accepted Liana’s apology and even felt this was a bit surprising. This was the first time Liana had apologized to her since childhood.

Audrey slightly tilted her head to look at Catherine from the corner of her eye secretly.

Initially, she thought Catherine, the second sister she had barely seen, would be kicked around. Now as it appeared, her worry might be unnecessary.

Catherine was more competent and tougher than she had imagined!

After making an apology, Liana immediately fixed her gaze on Catherine. “Daddy, I’m done apologizing. Catherine has violated the rules of our family. Should she be punished too?”

“Yeah!” Korbin snorted. “Liana has a good point. Catherine, since you’ve admitted your mistake, you will spend the afternoon contemplating your mistake in front of your grandpa’s photo as punishment. Besides, there will be no dinner for you tonight.”

“What? I must contemplate my mistake and can’t have dinner tonight?” Catherine thought.

She knew that Korbin was taking this opportunity to have a go at her, but she would not accept it.

Catherine just turned around. She meant to walk past the Swanns and get out of the house.

After all, no one in the Swanns could stop her.

However, she did not expect someone to grab her wrist when she was ready to leave.

Catherine turned her head and settled her cold gaze on Audrey. She was a bit confused about Audrey’s behavior.

Audrey seemed to have seen through Catherine’s thoughts. She had always been subservient at home since she was little. She had long known she had no right to say no to the Swanns. So, she was worried that Catherine would be punished due to disobedience.

“Catherine, I could not make it back when Grandpa was gone. Now I’m back. Please accompany me to Grandpa’s room so that I can pay my respects to him!”

Audrey had a hint of imploration in her eyes and looked like a helpless animal. She stared hard at Catherine and said, “Let’s go!”

Then, Audrey just grabbed Catherine’s hand and dragged her away. Given Audrey’s strength, Catherine could shake her away with ease.

However, somehow, Catherine suddenly had no intention of resisting Audrey and wanted to see what on earth Audrey was up to.
