All Her Secrets

Chapter 895 Secrets Revealed

Audrey was eager to know what had happened back then. She always believed that Catherine was sent to the countryside by her grandfather. But now, it seemed the truth was not that simple.

Afraid of touching on Catherine’s sensitive topic, Audrey didn’t press for details and instead asked Catherine about her plans.

Catherine calmly looked at her and said, “What else can I do? Just face the challenges as they come.”

She didn’t care about public opinion. ” If you guys have the guts to come after me, then bring it on,” she thought.

Audrey gave Catherine a thumbs-up for her composure and calmness. This was something she would never get the hang of.

Branden placed the cut fruits on the nearby coffee table. He was initially in the kitchen but turned to open the door when the doorbell rang.

“Go ahead, you guys. I’ll be in the study.

“He left the space for the two sisters to talk. Catherine having someone keeping her company put him more at ease. He came back all of a sudden, and there was a bunch of stuff waiting for him at the company.

Seeing how gentle and caring Branden was toward Catherine, Audrey sighed. Deep down, she envied Catherine and pitied herself.

“Never thought Branden would be like this at home. Out there, everyone fears him, but at home, he’s so gentle toward you,” said Audrey.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sensing Audrey’s emotional change, Catherine tilted her head and asked, ” Had a fight with Brian?”

Seemingly caught off guard by Catherine’s sudden question, Audrey hesitated for a moment before looking away, whispering, “No, just envying you. We didn’t have a fight.”

Catherine lowered her gaze and sneered. “Still trying to hide it from me?”

Audrey was at a loss for words. She didn’t know what Catherine meant by that. It felt like Catherine might know something.

Trying to appear composed, Audrey looked at Catherine. “Hide it from you? No, I have nothing to hide from you. Don’t overthink it.”

Although she spoke firmly, her eyes betrayed her. In front of Catherine, she found it hard to conceal. Catherine’s eyes kept her from fibbing.

Just as she was trying to find an excuse, Catherine’s words exposed her. “Brian has my video. Do you want me to spill on what you’ve traded with him?”

Audrey, shocked, looked at Catherine with disbelief. “How… how do you know?”

She had never told anyone about it, not even a hint to Kim. It led to a fallout with Kim, who accused her of being love -struck and heartless.

But for Catherine, she endured it all. She didn’t understand how Catherine could know about this.

Catherine looked at her, and tears welled up in her eyes. “I found out not long ago.”

She always knew Audrey must have made some deal with Brian or was coerced by him to agree to the relationship. She tried talking to Audrey a few times, but Audrey avoided the topic. So, she had to investigate secretly. If she had known that Audrey was coerced by Brian because of her, she would have dealt with that scum long ago.

Seeing that Catherine already knew everything, Audrey couldn’t hold back the sadness welling up inside. She looked at Catherine with red eyes. Kathy, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If not for me, Brian wouldn’t target you.”

Deep inside, she felt an overwhelming sense of guilt toward Catherine, thinking she hadn’t protected Catherine well since childhood, and now Catherine was suffering because of her.

Catherine gave her a tissue, signaling her to wipe away the tears. “It’s not your fault,” Catherine’s comforting words only intensified Audrey’s guilt.

“Kathy, you don’t need to comfort me. If not for me, how could Brian harm you?” said Audrey.

“The video wasn’t sent out by Brian.”

Audrey was momentarily stunned by Catherine’s words. Then she reacted and looked at Catherine. “What do you mean by that? Did Brian have nothing to do with this?”

Catherine nodded.

Audrey was still puzzled. “But he had the video.”

“Yeah, but others do too. He only used the video to threaten you, not release it, ” said Catherine. She had people watch over Brian’s every move. While his methods were despicable, he hadn’t spread the video.

Audrey furrowed her brows. “If it wasn’t Brian, could there really be an unseen hand manipulating things as he said?” she thought. She looked worriedly at Catherine and asked, ” Kathy, do you know who’s behind all this?”

To avoid involving Audrey, Catherine shook her head. “I don’t know. I have too many enemies; it’s hard to pinpoint who it might be.”

This vague response heightened Audrey’s concern. “What should we do? ” she asked.

Enemies lurking in the shadows were the most frightening. Audrey feared something might happen to Catherine again.

Seeing Audrey’s concern, Catherine found an excuse to ease her worries. ” It’s okay. Branden will handle it.”

Audrey’s worried heart calmed down a bit when she heard this. After all, with Branden’s capabilities, if he said he could handle it, then there shouldn’t be a problem.

“That’s good. With Mr. Duncan around, I believe we’ll have results soon,” said Audrey.

Catherine didn’t want the conversation to focus on her. Changing the topic, she asked, “What are your plans regarding Brian now?”
