All Her Secrets

Two minutes later, the rest of Branden’s men arrived in a rush. They saw Branden holding a black trench coat in his hands, standing rooted on the spot looking gloomy.

One of them plucked up his courage, went up to Branden, and asked, “Mr. Duncan, is he gone?”

Branden didn’t need to answer, as one could see how things were at a glance.

Branden glanced at the mannequin on the floor, an arrogant ridicule at him.

It was the first time for him to have a taste of defeat. A creepy smile appeared on his gloomy face.

Branden’s men, who had been with him for so many years, couldn’t help but shiver in fear after seeing his smile.

They rarely saw Branden get mad at anything. However, the angrier Branden was, the calmer. he would appear. From the smile on Branden’s face, they could tell that he was really furious.

They all knew that someone was in big trouble. However, they did not know who that person was yet.

Branden ordered coldly, “Secure the bar immediately. I don’t want to see even a fly getting out of here.”

“Yes, sir!”

Branden’s men responded in unison and moved immediately to secure Charm Bar.

The dancefloor of Charm Bar was still as bustling as ever, while Branden’s men were already on the move in the dark.

A large group of men in black checked every room in Charm Bar. It was as if they were looking. for someone.

Catherine kicked the ventilation vent in the bathroom open hard and slid down from it. Then, she put the lid back where it was, leaving no trace behind.

She had already changed into the clothes she had prepared earlier quickly. She stood before. the mirror to check on her appearance and returned to her best state in a breeze.

Then, Catherine took the micro-earbud off her ear and threw it into the toilet behind her.

She opened the door of the bathroom and walked out briskly.

Catherine walked towards the door through the crowded dancefloor with ground-shaking

music and was ready to leave.

However, she was stopped at the door. The security guard explained to her politely.

“Miss, I’m sorry. Nobody can leave for now. Something happened in the bar, and we are looking into it right now. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.”

Catherine glanced coldly at the guard. Her cold gaze was utterly terrifying.

The guard was so scared that he was stunned for a moment and forgot to stop Catherine as she made to leave.

“Stand where you are!”

A sharp call came from behind her, followed by urgent footsteps.

The atmosphere tensed immediately. It was as if something big was going to happen.

Catherine stopped and turned around naturally.

She saw Paxton running towards her with a few men behind him.

Paxton was slightly stunned when he saw Catherine, then greeted her politely, “Miss Swann!”

A minute later, Branden showed up. He was wearing a black shirt with the top two buttons left unbuttoned. With his tanned skin slightly exposed, he looked extremely charming.

Paxton and his men parted and bowed politely at Branden.

Branden walked up to Catherine slowly. He lowered his eyes and sized her up, looking cold but curious. With his brows slightly furrowed, he asked, “What are you doing here?”

Catherine looked indifferent and emotionless as she answered him coldly.

“Since Mr. Duncan can be here, why can’t I?”

Branden lowered his eyes and raised a brow. His brown eyes shone with bone-chilling. coldness. “Miss Swann, don’t forget you are still my fiancée now!”

The word “fiancée” left Catherine looking displeased.

Seeing Catherine in silence, Branden didn’t press the matter further despite looking cold.

“It’s getting late. I’ll give you a ride home.”

“No!” Catherine refused coldly without showing respect to Branden at all.

Branden’s men couldn’t help but break out in cold sweats at Catherine’s answer. She was so bold. It was the first time they saw Branden being rejected, not to mention that Catherine had rejected him publicly.

Paxton’s expression was hideous. In his eyes, Catherine was conceited to refuse Branden’s well.

Paxton thought that Branden would be angry about it. However, he didn’t expect Branden to reach a hand towards him.

Was Branden asking for a weapon?

Even though Catherine had made a mistake, attacking her with a weapon would be way overboard. Paxton was a little hesitant.

Seeing Paxton didn’t move, Branden’s face darkened. “What are you thinking about? Give me my car keys!”

“Oh!” Paxton collected himself from his daze, hastily took out the car keys, and offered them to Branden respectfully.

He thought that Branden was going to teach Catherine a lesson. To his astonishment, was going to drive her home himself instead.

Paxton was struggling to make sense of what was happening.

After getting the car keys, Branden returned to Catherine’s side.

“Let’s go. I’ll drive you home.”

Branden

Catherine looked at Branden with a frown. Didn’t she refuse him just now? Could Branden not understand her words? Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Before Catherine could speak, Branden’s following words made her choke back the words on the tip of her tongue.

He said lightly, “Get in the car. We’ll talk about what you wanted to discuss with me last time.”

Catherine wanted to go home herself at first. However, at Branden’s words, she changed her mind.

Since he was being so generous to offer her a ride, she would accept it. They could even take the chance to talk things out.

“Can we go now?” Branden shook the keys in his hand at her carelessly and spoke in a deep voice.

Catherine liked people with nice voices. She had to admit that listening to Branden’s voice was a pleasure.

Seeing Catherine nod faintly, Branden strode out the door first, with Catherine behind him…

It took a while for Branden’s men, who were left rooted on the spot, to recover from their shock. They never expected to see Branden being with a woman and talking so much at once. It was such a rare scene.

Catherine got into Branden’s car. She thought that he would be driving the latest and coolest supercar. She didn’t expect him to drive a black Maybach.

The car was low-key and luxurious. It didn’t match his age at all, but she kind of liked it.

She didn’t like supercars. In terms of speed, she preferred motorbikes.

She enjoyed riding freely against the wind.

As the car drove on, Catherine sat in the car with her eyes squinted. There was no expression on her face.

Branden took a glance at her from the rear-view mirror.

He even knew that even though Catherine had her eyes shut, she was studying him too.

Suddenly, Catherine opened her eyes. Her brown eyes shone with a sharp light like that of an eagle. However, her tone was somewhat lazy.

“What about your conditions? Aren’t you going to tell me?”

“Yes!” Branden nodded rarely. There was a light but willful smile on his face.

Catherine sat calmly in the backseat, waiting for Branden to speak. She was ready to hear what his conditions were.
