All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 148 Send You to School

Soon, it was the first round of auditions for the school’s celebration gala. It was an aristocratic school.

Whenever it came to a celebration, the school would pay much attention to it and hold a grand event.

Moreover, it was the anniversary celebration this time, so the school authorities attached great

importance to it. Even people from art colleges were coming to select talents.

Bryan had been training overtime these days and finally made some headway, and Catherine had

already recognized him as part of the team.

The school authorized the students not to wear uniforms during the performance. Bryan had arranged

for the best tailor to make a new outfit, which was the same color as his guitar, an invincible match.

Seeing Bryan coming down from upstairs without wearing a school uniform and going out without even

eating breakfast, Karl shouted to him to stop immediately. “Brat, dressed like that, where are you going

by skipping school?”

Hearing Karl’s words, someone immediately blocked Bryan. Bryan could only obediently turn back and

respond, “Grandpa, I’m going to school.”

“Humph!” Karl snorted and rolled his eyes at Bryan with great disdain. ” Going to school? Dressed like

this? With such a big black box on your back, are you telling me that you’re going to school? Do you

really think I’m old and easy to fool?”

Bryan really felt that Branden shouldn’t be so capable as to let Karl retire at such a young age. Judging

from Karl’s vigorous appearance, he should be able to work at the company for a few more years. That

way, Karl wouldn’t have the time to keep an eye on him.

“The first round of auditions for the school’s celebration gala is being held today, and I’ve signed up to

participate. The school informed us that we don’t have to wear school uniforms.”

Seeing Bryan’s sincere face, Karl cast a glance toward the butler on the side. The butler had been with

Karl for decades and knew what he was going to ask with just one look.

Everything, no matter how big or small, was followed by the butler. He knew that Bryan had been

practicing his guitar hard at home lately.

Getting an affirmative answer from the butler, Karl became interested and looked at Bryan with an

excited face.

“Since there’s a performance, do you want us to go and cheer you on? I’ll arrange for a group to go.”

“Cheer me on? Arrange for a group?” Bryan repeated inwardly. Karl’s words gave him a massive

headache.

He wondered, “Does Grandpa think this is a kindergarten performance party? Does he think I’m a

kindergarten kid?”

Bryan was speechless and refused with a dark face. “No need, Grandpa. I’ve formed a troupe with my

classmates. It’s not so nice for you guys to go and their parents not to be there.”

He was clear that he couldn’t directly reject and refute Karl. Otherwise, when Karl’s temper flared up,

he might really arrange a group to go there. Bryan would be the one to suffer at that time.

“Well…” Karl pondered it thoughtfully. Before he could think through the matter, Branden on the side

blurted out, “Will Catherine be there too?”

It was rare that Branden, who never cared about family matters, would suddenly ask something. The

few of them were shocked and focused their eyes on him.

Branden, however, looked natural. There was no other expression on his cool and handsome face.

Only his clear and dark eyes slowly landed on Bryan. His eyes were calm without any emotion, but they

gave Bryan an endless sense of oppression.

Bryan did not want to talk to Branden about Catherine. After a stalemate of no more than three

seconds, he failed.

“Yeah.” Bryan said. After hearing his response, Branden elegantly wiped his hands, stood up, and said

coldly, “I’ll take you to school.

Bryan was furious, but that was all. In front of Branden, he never dared to say anything. He thought,

“I’ve already grown up, and I’m not an elementary school student. Is he actually taking me to school?

How could he even think of that?”

Bryan knew that Branden was taking him to school because he wanted to see Catherine. The thought

of his boss being minded by some other people made Bryan uneasy in his heart.

Even though he had a lot of complaints in his heart, Bryan still had to obediently follow Branden the

moment he walked out the door.

This was the rule of the Duncans. The words of the family head were orders. No matter who it was,

they had to carry it out unconditionally. Karl, sitting at the dining table, looked at the departing backs of

the two men and silently fell into contemplation.

He didn’t expect that his youngest son would actually emotionally change in one day. It was really rare.

He noticed Branden’s eyes obviously softened for a moment when Bryan mentioned that name just

now. It was unusual.

He thought, “More good show is going to come. What a rare occurrence.”

“Go check that Catherine,” Karl ordered. Hearing the command, the butler hurriedly answered, “Will do,

sir.”

Branden took Bryan to the school gate. Before they could get out of the car, Bryan took the initiative to

say, “Boss arrives at school every day just as the bell rings. We came early today, so there’s no way

we’ll run into her.”

He purposely asked the driver to speed up and didn’t remind Branden because he didn’t want Branden

to bump into Catherine. He always felt that Branden was not a good match for Catherine.

Although Branden was excellent and unrivaled in Bryan’s mind, he was a businessman with a

mercenary and treacherous nature. He was experienced and cunning, and no one was a match for

him.

But Catherine was different. She was refined and unique, like a fairy. How could Branden not

understand Bryan’s thoughts? He just didn’t bother with Bryan.

Before Bryan could say more, Paxton had already come to the car door and took the initiative to open it

for him.

“Mr. Bryan, please.”

It was evident that Bryan was being driven away. However, he was overjoyed in his heart that he had

still achieved his goal. But Bryan underestimated how much Branden was interested in Catherine.

After Bryan walked inside the school, he glanced at the school gate and realized that Branden’s car

was parked in the same spot with no intention of leaving.

Bryan couldn’t help but feel a pang of exasperation. “I should have been more careful,” he thought.

True to Bryan’s word, five minutes before the bell rang, Catherine appeared.

Catherine saw Paxton standing next to a black car. Paxton was like Branden’s shadow. Whenever

Paxton appeared, it meant Branden was also around. Catherine glanced toward the black car. It was

different from the last one. It was a Cullinan Black Badge.

“What a fickle man, but he’s dedicated to color. He’s never been in a car that wasn’t black,” Catherine

thought. Just as Catherine turned back and headed toward the car, Branden got out of it and stood

beside it, waiting for Catherine’s approach.

Standing a step away from him, Catherine raised an eyebrow and fixed her cold eyes on Branden.

“What brings you here?” she asked. Her voice did not have the slightest warmth, nor did her eyes fill

with a smile. But she wasn’t as cold and unapproachable to Branden as she would have been to a

stranger.

For Catherine, it was already a rare attitude to have. Branden took the food box Paxton handed him

and brought it in front of Catherine.

“Here, your breakfast.”

“Did he come all the way here just to bring me breakfast?” Catherine wondered.
