All Her Secrets by Chestnut

Chapter 28 Vicente’s Study

Catherine had pushed open the door and gone inside. She paid no heed to Audrey’s astonishment. Catherine’s countenance did not change a bit at all.

Catherine designed the study’s door lock when she was twelve years old. Even Vicente’s iris was also registered by her. It was not surprising that she could open the door.

Watching Catherine swagger inside, Audrey, who had been curious about the study for a long time, was also intrigued.

Due to Vicente’s previous order, she did not dare to enter the room. She hovered at the door and hesitated for a long time, making constant mental struggles.

Catherine was in the room for a while. When she noticed that Audrey was still standing at the door, she knitted her brows in confusion. “Why don’t you come in?”

A trace of embarrassment showed on Audrey’s face. She said carefully, “Grandpa said without his order, no one was allowed to enter this study!”

Catherine did not expect Audrey to say

that!

Why would she obey Vicente’s order so submissively?

Catherine finally understood why the Swanns would bully Audrey.

Given Audrey’s character, of course, she would be kicked around.

“He is already dead. Why do you care about the rules set by him? Come on in.”

Hearing Catherine’s bold words, Audrey rushed inside excitedly and reached out to cover her

mouth.

“Kathy, you can’t show disrespect to Grandpa.”

Catherine frowned even more heavily.

This was the first person to stay so close to Catherine and cover her mouth without her neck

breaking.

And what did Audrey call her?

Kathy?

A few seconds later, Audrey seemed to realize that she had been in the study. She was so

freaked out that she hastened to remove her hand from Catherine’s mouth.

“I’ve got into the study. What should I do?” Audrey exclaimed.

Voenten Stil

Catherine glanced casually at her and replied, “What else can you do? Pay a visit to this place and watch it as long as you want to.”

She could not explain why she didn’t punish Audrey for the latter’s offense. Maybe it was because that was not Audrey’s deliberate act.

Catherine picked up the remote control from the desk and turned on one of the monitors on

the wall.

Audrey originally meant to get out when she suddenly heard her mother’s voice from the monitor, which stopped her immediately. She turned her head and walked over there.

The monitor showed what was happening in the tearoom on the second floor.

This was the place where Rachael liked having afternoon tea at other times. It was Rachael and Liana who were displayed on the monitor.

Audrey was astounded to see that. She slowly paced back and stood by Catherine’s side.

Catherine did not turn her head. She knew that Audrey was back and then had a faint smile on

her beautiful face.

If Ronin were here now, he would definitely exclaim, “Boss is so beautiful! Especially when

she smiles!”

On the monitor, Liana’s haughty face was filled with anger and resentment. She slammed the cup on the table heavily and lashed out at her mother.

“Mommy, why did you stop me from persuading Daddy to punish that bane just now? Daddy has gone too far. He indulges her all the time. Look how unruly she has become!” Liana snapped.

She hated Catherine to the core because Catherine’s appearance made her the laughingstock of

all.

Liana did not get to inherit any of the Swanns’ assets. Worse still, everyone learned that she had a sister coming back from the countryside. Now, she was scorned by her friends.

Besides, Catherine was clearly bad luck, but she always acted like a princess with a cold look

Liana did not care about any of this. All she wanted was to kick Catherine out of the Swanns and get everything back on track by all means.
