All Her Secrets

Rachael stared at her daughter’s angry face. Liana looked similar in appearance to the young version of Rachael, which just reminded Rachael of her past all at once. Rachael could not help giving a smile. “You just can’t keep composure. Do you remember what I taught you before? I asked you to keep your eyes open and observe more.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Can’t you see that your daddy is deliberately partial to that bane? Anyway, she is the nominal heiress of the Swanns. It won’t do us any good if we fall out with her. However, as long as we put up with her for three months, the Swanns’ assets will come back to us. By then, you won’t need to do anything. Your daddy will give her a hard time!”

Due to Rachael’s words, Liana finally had a faint smile on her initially unhappy face.

She thought about it and then looked at Rachael complacently. “Mommy, you’re right. But I’ll be able to have my revenge more or less in less than three months. Next Monday, Catherine will go to school. By then, she will know what I’ve got.”

Rachael smiled resignedly and stared at her daughter with affection.

With a straight face, Catherine picked up the remote control and reached out to turn off the monitor.

Then, she put her arms around her chest and turned around to look at Audrey. Her delicate face was icy, and her lips were curved into a scornful smile that was inconsistent with her age.

“Are they the family who you think love me from the depths of their hearts?” Catherine asked.

Audrey was rendered speechless. Although she knew that Rachael and Liana did not like Catherine, she did not expect that they would hate Catherine so much.

Audrey felt somewhat surprised after knowing Vicente had left all his assets to Catherine.

She thought Catherine could get a small part of the assets at best. After all, Catherine had never lived in the Swanns’ since she was little. However, it turned out that Catherine inherited all the assets.

Audrey was merely surprised when she learned that, but she was not as shocked as the other members of the Swanns.

Perhaps it was because, from the very start, she knew that none of this had anything to do with her. No matter how many assets the Swanns had, she wouldn’t get any of them. As a result, she never held out any hope for that. Nor did she feel disappointed.

Hearing the conversation between Rachael and Liana, Audrey suddenly felt slightly sorry for Catherine and reached out to hold Catherine’s hand.

When Audrey reached out her hand, Catherine subconsciously eschewed it as if getting an electric shock.

Nevertheless, Audrey grabbed Catherine’s hand tightly again and patted the back of her hand constantly.

Then, Audrey stared at Catherine thoughtfully, and her gentle eyes made Catherine stop struggling.

“Kathy, I know you’re sad. Let’s just pretend that they don’t exist and live our own lives.”

Originally, Audrey wanted to persuade Catherine to be nicer to their family. She was worried that Catherine’s cold character would put her at a disadvantage.

Unexpectedly, now that she saw that disappointing scene, she perished the idea of persuading Catherine.

Catherine settled her gaze on Audrey’s hands.

She disliked having physical contact with others. If anyone else dared to touch her as Audrey did, the hands would have been cut off by her.

In the beginning, when Audrey touched her, she subconsciously wanted to withdraw her own hand. Yet, when Audrey grasped Catherine’s hand again, Catherine’s body did not reject her at all.

Catherine felt a bit confused. Could it be because Audrey was her sister? So, her body reacted differently.

Audrey noticed that Catherine did not say anything and thought Catherine was still mad. She could understand Catherine’s fury. She felt a bit worried at the thought of what Liana said just now.

Catherine did not grow up in the Swanns, so she did not know how wicked Liana was. Yet, Audrey knew Liana was full of tricks.

When Audrey was still living with the Swanns, she suffered many losses. Now that Catherine was back, Audrey felt worried.

“Kathy, you must be careful when you go to school next week. Liana is a difficult girl.’

Catherine felt that Audrey was being rather euphemistic. Liana was not only difficult but also wicked.

Initially, she was not interested in campus life, so she did not intend to attend school. Now she had learned that Liana wanted to cause trouble for her. If she didn’t go, Liana could not continue her plan then.

Catherine wanted to find out what on earth Liana could do.
