All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Bobby turned around and angrily shouted at the bodyguards behind him, “Help me up quickly!”

The kick from Catherine had left him completely drained of strength. He couldn’t even summon enough

energy to stand up now. The bodyguards quickly realized the situation and moved to help him up.

Catherine glanced over and swiftly snatched two forks from the table. With a swift motion of her wrist,

she sent them flying. What were once two ordinary forks now resembled two deadly arrows.

They sliced through the air and embedded themselves directly into the hands of the two bodyguards.

The, speed was so fast that not even a drop of blood splattered.

“Ah…”

The agonizing screams of the two bodyguards snapped everyone’s attention back to reality. People

stared in shock and terror at Catherine as if she were a monster.

Kim cautiously stood next to Audrey. He quietly tugged at Audrey’s hand and asked in a low voice,”

Audrey, why is your sister so terrifying?”

Audrey was so surprised that she opened her mouth wide and didn’t respond.

She genuinely had no idea about that.

No one had witnessed how Catherine had acted. And the fact that an ordinary fork could turn into a

deadly weapon in her hands was incredibly frightening.

The bodyguards were seasoned fighters. They saw Catherine’s action. And they knew that even if all

four of them attacked at once, they wouldn’t defeat Catherine.

They were just there for the money. They weren’t about to risk their lives for Bobby.

Another two bodyguards supported the two injured bodyguards. They quickly retreated from the scene.

They gave Bobby a look of sympathy as they left.

Catherine only dealt with those who deserved it. As for the bodyguards, they were just doing their job

for money. As long as they didn’t interfere with her affairs, whether they stayed or left didn’t matter to

her.

Catherine’s skills finally scared Bobby. He stared at Catherine in a panic. His face turned pale.

“Do you… know who I am?” Bobby asked.

Ten minutes earlier, Catherine had received a dossier containing all of Bobby’s Information.

Hearing that, Catherine slowly lifted her head and raised an eyebrow. She cast a cold gaze at Bobby

lying on the ground.

Catherine’s skills finally scared Bobby. He stared at Catherine in a panic. His face turned pale.

“Do you… know who I am?” Bobby asked.

Ten minutes earlier, Catherine had received a dossier containing all of Bobby’s information.

Hearing that, Catherine slowly lifted her head and raised an eyebrow. She cast a cold gaze at Bobby

lying on the ground.

“Who you are doesn’t concern me. And you’re not worthy of knowing who I am.”

Catherine was dominant, arrogant, defiant, and sinister.

At that moment, no one dared to question Catherine’s words. With her skills, no one dared to question

her arrogance.

Catherine pulled out her phone and dialed a number. When the call connected, she said into the

phone, “Give you five minutes, and I want the Coopers bankrupt.”

Her tone was plain and unassuming, as if she were asking for a glass of water.

Although the Coopers might not have been at the very top of the wealth ladder in Casier, they were still

significant figures.

Now, Catherine claimed she could bankrupt them in five minutes. It was simply unimaginable.

Inside, everyone doubted her words. But they had seen her astounding power moments ago. So, no

one dared to challenge her.

As seconds ticked away, the atmosphere grew more tense. No one dared to move.

No one could have predicted that this celebratory banquet would devolve into this.

The only one at ease was Catherine. She adjusted her posture to a supremely comfortable

position. Then she reclined in her chair to rest with her eyes shut.

Everyone was eager to leave. But Catherine remained silent. It felt as if an invisible glass barrier

enclosed the room. It prevented anyone from exiting.

It was an aura of power. Although it was unseen, it could be sensed. Nobody dared to risk it.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

2/5

On the table, Peter’s phone began to ring. In this quiet, private room, its ringtone sounded unusually

loud. It caused several individuals to jump in surprise.

Peter’s face turned pale as he looked at the phone. He had been about to complain about who would

dare to call him at that moment. But when he saw the caller ID, his expression turned grim.

He looked at the others helplessly and whispered, “The investor is calling.”

This investor held a significant position. And he was someone Peter couldn’t afford to offend.

Peter wanted to answer, yet he didn’t dare. Just then, the door to the private room swung open once

again.

A tall and poised man stepped in. He was very handsome and elegant. His features were so perfect

that they seemed to be sculpted by an artist’s hand.

Someone recognized him. He was known as the heir of the Duncans, the wealthiest in Casier. Their

amazement was palpable as they realized he was the backer behind the program. The moment the

door opened, the man’s gaze fell upon Catherine. She appeared to be dozing off in the private room.

His thin lips curved up. A hint of a smile flashed across his handsome face. He thought inwardly, “She

really can fall asleep anywhere, no matter the occasion.”

Audrey hadn’t expected the newcomer to be Branden. But she was excited She had been worried that

the situation might spiral out of control. But with Branden here, everything would be easier to handle.

Kim saw the excitement in Audrey’s eyes. He realized that Audrey knew the newcomer. After all,

Branden was a major financial supporter.

“Audrey, do you know Mr. Duncan?” Kim asked. Audrey didn’t say a word. She nodded silently. To

everyone’s surprise, as soon as Branden entered the room, he walked straight to Catherine’s side.

The others assumed Branden might be displeased with her. But instead, Branden swiftly removed his

coat and draped it over Catherine.

A delightful fragrance wafted through the air. Catherine slowly opened her eyes. After she saw the

handsome face before her, she frowned slightly. Then she whispered, “Why are you here?”

Branden chuckled softly. He looked at Catherine with a self-satisfied gleam in his eyes He asked, ”

Don’t you know that the investor for this program has been changed to the Duncan Corporation?”

Catherine really had no idea.

She didn’t care about these things. So she hadn’t looked into it. She naturally wouldn’t know about the

midway change of investors. Catherine adjusted her posture slightly. Then she sat up a bit straighter

and glanced at the time. The five minutes were up.

As Catherine put down her phone, Bobby’s phone in his pocket began to ring. Catherine raised an

eyebrow as she looked at Bobby. She tilted her chin up and said, “Answer it. Why aren’t you picking

up?”

For some unknown reason, Bobby had a foreboding feeling. He cautiously answered the call. In the

next second, his eyes widened in shock. And his voice grew louder in an instant. “What? What did you

say? How could this be?”

The call seemed to be forcefully disconnected not long after. Moments later, Bobby regained his

composure. When he looked up at Catherine, his gaze held more than just fear. There was a deep

sense of dread in it.

Bobby crawled to Catherine’s feet. And he pleaded in a low voice, “Miss Swann, I was wrong. I beg you

for mercy. Please spare me. Can you give me a chance to survive?”

Catherine lazily extended her hand and pointed in the direction of the exit. “The door is over there.

Walk out yourself.”

However, Bobby wasn’t looking for that. Just moments ago, he received that call. He was informed that

he had gone bankrupt in just five minutes.

Something entirely implausible had become a reality under Catherine’s influence. It showed just how

terrifying her power could be.

“Miss Swann, please give me a chance to start anew. I know I’ve made mistakes. I’ll have my daughter

come and apologize sincerely. Can you please not hold this against us?”
