All Her Secrets

Chapter 608 Catherine’s Kindness

Korbin was not only alive but also doing much better.

When he emerged, Audrey asked, “Dad, what’s going on?”

Korbin pointed toward Liana and softly replied, “She… harmed… me.”

Audrey couldn’t hold back and rushed forward to confront Liana. She grabbed Liana by the collar and asked, “Why? He’s your own father!”

Hearing that, Liana stayed silent.

Audrey, unable to contain her emotions, relentlessly slapped Liana’s face. “You’re insane! You even hurt your own father!”

Triston couldn’t stand it. He wasn’t against Audrey punishing Liana. But he feared Audrey’s agitation might hurt herself.

He stepped in and pulled Audrey away. He gestured for her to calm down.

Liana, previously quiet, suddenly raised her gaze. She stared at Catherine with an eerie look. “Catherine, you’ve got quite the schemes. You even use Dad to frame me. What other tricks do you have? Just show me all your tricks!”

At this point, even Catherine was somewhat impressed by Liana’s rebuttal. “You’re so stubborn!”

“I’m stating facts!” Liana retorted with a displeased expression.

Then she continued, “Just like you all said, he’s my biological father. Why would I harm him? What benefit is there for me if he dies?”

Indeed, it was the issue that baffled everyone. As Liana said, Korbin cherished her the most. If he dies, it would also be her misfortune.

Catherine didn’t want to waste more time. She laid the truth out plainly.

She replied, “Because you feared people knowing that Korbin’s stroke was because of you.”

Liana collapsed inwardly. She hadn’t expected Catherine to know this. “How did you know?”

Catherine retorted. “You did it yourself, yet afraid of others finding out?”

When Korbin fell ill, Catherine sensed something fishy and then had someone investigate.

Liana had some internal conflict after causing Korbin’s condition. While taking care of Korbin, she inadvertently revealed her feelings, which were overheard by a caregiver.

Later, the caregiver informed Catherine that. In reality, Catherine had no intention of dealing with Liana.

As Liana herself admitted, it wasn’t intentional.

Catherine wasn’t a saint and preferred not to meddle in the family matters between Korbin and his daughter.

But Liana had crossed a line this time. She even intended to kill Korbin.

Given this, Catherine decided to expose everything and ensure that Liana faced the deserved consequences.

As the truth was revealed, Liana knew arguing was futile. She chose to give up.

She glared at Catherine with resentment and was still unrepentant. She said stubbornly, “Catherine, it’s all your fault. Without you, I wouldn’t be in this mess today.”

After she said to Catherine, Liana turned to ask Rachael, “Why didn’t you just kill her back then? You let this jinx linger. Now, she is harming our entire family.”

In Liana’s eyes, without Catherine, she’d still be the esteemed heiress of the Swanns, a prominent socialite in Casier.

Facing Liana’s accusations toward Catherine, Branden, who previously remained silent, suddenly intervened.

He said, “You just blame others incessantly. Why don’t you look at yourself? You both come from the same family background, so why should you have everything from the start? Was Catherine meant to be cast aside just because you were born into privilege, or is it your excessive sense of superiority?

“If I were Catherine, from the moment I stepped into the Swanns’, I’d wipe you all out! Catherine never struck at you. If you had shown gratitude and treated her better, would you have turned out like this?”

Branden’s words acted like a wake-up call, which made everyone present realize the situation.

In the past, they all felt Catherine had been too ruthless toward her own family.

They forgot that everyone present from the Swanns had wronged Catherine from the beginning. They unjustly accused and harmed her during her childhood.

Being born into the Swanns wasn’t her choice. But her parents abandoned her. She returned to the Swanns’ because Vicente forced her to. However, the ones who had abandoned her repeatedly harmed her upon her return.

If anyone else were in her place, they might have acted even more ruthlessly than Catherine. Catherine stood quietly to the side and gently stared at Branden.

The crowd thought Branden made sense. After all, Catherine was so capable that many people wished they had the chance to align themselves with her. Unfortunately, the Swanns failed to appreciate this.

Based on their blood ties alone, if only the Swanns could have treated Catherine a bit better, they might have had the opportunity to gain her favor.

To the outside world, the Swann Corporation might seem significant, but to Catherine, it was nothing more than a mere toy. If Catherine was in a good mood, she would willingly give it away with open hands.

These people from the Swanns were extremely foolish.

A few minutes later, the police arrived on the scene.

Liana, who remained silent, finally reacted. She stared in disbelief at Catherine. “You had the police come to arrest me?”

Catherine ignored her. If she’d made a mistake, she should face the consequences.

Seeing that the police were going to take Liana away, Rachael panicked. ” What are you doing? Let go of my daughter!”

To everyone’s surprise, the police handcuffed Rachael. “Mrs. Swann, we suspect you in a case of embezzlement. Please come with us.”

Over the years, Rachael had installed several people in the Swann Corporation.

After Catherine took control of the Swanns, Rachael found it challenging to have significant financial resources.

So, she tampered with company funds. She thought she was unnoticed, but Linda saw through her actions.

Linda reported everything to Catherine. Catherine couldn’t be bothered to deal with these individuals. Now that she had the opportunity, she resolved to handle them all at once.

Audrey stood aside and remained silent. She knew she shouldn’t intervene now. She had lost all hope in her mother and sister.

Just as Branden had said, he might have massacred everyone who had harmed Catherine upon his return if it were him.

They all thought Catherine was ruthless, but in reality, Catherine had been kind enough.

Thinking this, Audrey felt even more ashamed. She looked up at Catherine and said sorrowfully, “I’m sorry, Kathy. We were all wrong!”

Catherine shrugged and replied indifferently, “Take care of yourself.”

With those who needed to be removed taken care of, Catherine didn’t want to stay.

Korbin was not her concern. Audrey could handle herself, and Catherine was sure she wouldn’t interfere again.

She took Branden’s hand and said, ” 11 Let’s go.”

Branden gently tightened his grip and led Catherine away.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
