All Her Secrets

Carol moved at such a speed that the others thought that Audrey would be hit without a doubt.

However, Catherine, who was standing behind Audrey, suddenly made her move. No one noticed how she did it. She dragged Audrey away with one hand and grasped Carol’s hand to fling it away hard.

Carol lost her footing and fell to the ground.

Audrey gaped at the scene. She could not help screaming in her heart. “Oh my gosh! Catherine is an alpha girl! She’s so cool and domineering! All hail Kathy! I love you!”

Sheryl hurried forward and helped her mother up before glowering at Catherine and Audrey. She said with resentment. “How dare you attack my mother? Do you wish to die?”

Carol stood up slowly. Her face was gloomy, and there was killing intent in her angry eyes. She screamed, “You got the nerve to push me! Even your father, Korbin Swann, would not dare to lay a finger on me if he was here. You two chicks attacked me! Our family would be shamed if I don’t get even with you!”

Audrey was somewhat flustered. Dealing with Sheryl was totally different than getting Carol involved in this matter, and Carol did not want to let them go.

Audrey gently tugged on Catherine’s hand, trying to persuade Catherine to leave. However, Catherine did not respond to her and maintained her composure.

Catherine raised her eyebrows and stared at Carol, whose face was distorted from anger. She scrutinized Carol from up and down and said icily, “Just cut your crap and do it!”

Carol blinked. She had thought that Catherine and Audrey would be frightened by her threat.

Catherine was surprisingly arrogant. Looking at Catherine’s rebellious and hostile face, Carol wished she could tear Catherine apart. She pointed a finger at Catherine and warned her loudly. “Listen, you bastard from the countryside. I will show you how powerful the Burtons are today!”

Catherine narrowed her eyes. She looked as terrifying as a bloodthirsty person. There was only coldness was in her eyes and nothing else.

She grabbed the hand that Carol was pointing at her and did a perfect shoulder throw. Her movement was smooth and without any hesitation or delay.

Before the others could react, Catherine had already slammed Carol to the ground.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Carol’s slightly fat body slammed heavily on the marble floor, making a startling sound.

Catherine looked down on Carol from above with malice. Her voice was as callous as if it came from hell.

“Didn’t anyone tell you that it’s rude to point at people when talking?”

Carol grimaced and bared her teeth in pain. She could not utter a word while facing such a fierce and powerful Catherine. She was scared.

Sheryl’s eyes widened in horror, and they almost fell out of their sockets. She trembled. She had never thought that Catherine would be so bold as to attack her mother.

“Catherine Swann, are you insane? I’ll call my dad to come here right now!”

Audrey was frightened as well. She immediately pulled Catherine and wanted to walk out of the shop.

“Kathy, run! Leave it to me here!” she whispered.

Catherine tilted her head and looked at Audrey calmly. “Leave it to you? Can you handle it yourself? Can you bear the consequence?”

Audrey knew that this matter was getting serious. The Burtons would not spare her now even if she apologized or take the blame.

But she did not want Catherine to suffer, so she could only grit her teeth and bear anything that awaited her.

“I can,” Audrey answered Catherine’s question firmly.

Catherine squinted at Audrey with a confused look.

Audrey knew she was no match for the powerful Burtons. Why would Audrey bear the consequence for her?

“Why do you do this?”

Catherine finally asked the question.

A faint smile hovered around the edges of Audrey’s lips. “Because I am your sister!”

Catherine felt an inexplicable emotion brewing in her heart.

She wanted to hold onto that feeling, but she could not.

Done with the call, Sheryl calmed down and looked at Catherine viciously.

“My dad is in this mall as well. He’s on his way here! You’re screwed.

“Don’t think that you can run away from this!”

Audrey was still urging Catherine to leave, but Catherine dragged Audrey to sit down without any panic or fear on her face.

“We’ll wait here,” said Catherine.

Not long after, a man in an expensive suit came in with two bodyguards.

Sheryl rushed forward like a gust of wind before hugging the man. She cried, “Daddy, you are finally here. These two damn girls from the Swanns attacked us. Do you see? Mommy’s back is in so much pain that she can’t even straighten up.”

Josh Burton pulled Sheryl and came in with an imperious vibe. He stopped in front of Catherine and tried to size her up with piercing eyes.

“Did you attack my wife and daughter?”

Catherine shook her head.

Sheryl screamed, “You lied! You did it!”

Josh’s face twisted further. He turned to shoot a glance at his daughter, and the latter had to quiet down.

Catherine narrowed her eyes slightly. She stood still and slowly raised her head to look at Josh.

“I would only admit to what I have done. I didn’t touch your daughter. You can’t wrong me for that.”

There was strength and a domineering aura in her clear voice.

She did throw Carol to the ground but did not touch Sheryl. That was the truth.

It was beyond Sheryl’s expectation that Catherine would remain aggressive even with her father’s arrival. She thought Catherine did not understand what she was facing. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Daddy, you have to take revenge for us. She’s too arrogant and doesn’t take us seriously.”

Josh was infuriated seeing his wife gasping for breath and trembling all over because of pain.

“Girl, your father and I have a good relationship. You should kneel before my wife, admit your mistake, and ask for my wife’s forgiveness. Then, you would go home and ask your father to apologize to us. I will then consider forgiving you,” he scolded Catherine.

Catherine faced Josh with cold eyes. She remained composed and without the tiniest bit of fear.

She spewed the words out from her thin lips, “What if I say no?”

Josh nodded. He could tell that Catherine was indeed arrogant. His brows knotted tightly. His face was dark and full of displeasure.

“Don’t blame me for being rude to you and your sister in that case.”

Catherine’s eyes twinkled with interest. She stared at Josh and savored his words. “Oh really? What do you plan to do to us?”

“Your father will have to carry you out of here in stretchers,” Josh threatened.

Sheryl blustered at the side. She was not afraid of anything with her father at her side.

“Kneel or be crippled. Your choice, bitch!”

Catherine glanced indifferently at the two bodyguards standing near Josh. They were big, but did they think that these bodyguards could cripple her?

They wished!

The atmosphere was tense. The service assistant was so frightened that she hid at a side and shivered.

Audrey stood by Catherine, ashen-faced, while Catherine looked unaffected by what was happening.

Seeing this, Josh signaled to the two bodyguards.

“Do it,” he ordered mercilessly.

The situation was about to get out of hand.

Suddenly, a cold and aggressive voice stole everyone’s attention.

“Mr. Burton, of all the nerve!”
