All Her Secrets

Chapter 667 The Silvas

The small, shabby fried chicken shop was now crowded with good-looking people casually sitting around the table, talking and laughing. Their sports cars formed a line parking by the road. The fried chicken shop was taken over. Not only did Ronin and Kim come, but Drake and Withal rushed in as soon as they saw the message.

Ronin handed the fries to Catherine and asked, “Catherine, is Audrey okay?”

Catherine explained, “The surgery was successful. She still needs to rest for a while.”

Everyone knew that Audrey was Catherine’s elder sister, and Triston dreamed of marrying Audrey and followed her everywhere. They all cared about Audrey’s injury.

The shop owner was glad to see so many people eating there. He served another tray of fried chicken to their table. The chicken was taken by someone on the way. Judging by how he dressed, the shop owner knew he was one of them. So he said, “Are you one of them? Here’s your fried chicken.”

The food in the roadside shop didn’t come with rules and services. But Aidan didn’t care and took the fried chicken tray to his friend’s table. “It’s rare for you to come out. When I saw the message, I drove over a hundred miles to get here,” said Aidan.

Upon hearing his ramble, Zobber could not help but tease him, “I didn’t expect that street food could attract the attention of the noble Mr. Lane. I thought you only eat in those top Michelin restaurants.”

Aidan was not offended by her teasing.

Instead, he was in such a good mood. He responded, “You’re wrong. It’s not about where or what you eat. It’s about whom you eat with. I’m happy to squat on the roadside and chew on lollipops with friends!”

After hearing his words, Zobber did not tease him again. She said, “That’s more like it.”

If it were in the past, they would have bickered with each other until the end of this gathering. Aidan felt bored when Zobber stopped talking back. He turned to Catherine and said, “Triston said we were heartless to have this gathering while he accompanied Audrey at the hospital.”

If not for Audrey’s injury, Triston would have grabbed a seat and sat here by now.

Catherine grinned and raised her cup to clink Aidan’s. They both drank up. After drinking some beer, Aidan became talkative. He said, “Catherine, I’m unsure if I should tell you this.”

Ronin was most annoyed by this and couldn’t help but argue with him. ” Either say it straightly or do not mention it. Are you afraid we pass out for your explosive news?”

Aidan thought for a moment and felt that Ronin made some sense. So he continued, “I feel that Audrey has been particularly unlucky lately. Didn’t Triston take a hit for Audrey last time?”

Catherine had just heard Kim complain about this. She had already arranged for someone to investigate. Now, Aidan brought it up again.

Aidan was different from Kim. His last name was Lane, which made him accessible to all kinds of people and information. He knew way more than Kim did. Catherine felt that he had something else to say. She asked, ” What do you mean?”

There was no turning back. Aidan had to spit it out. Let alone Catherine was his good friend.

“A few days ago, the Lamberts arranged a marriage for Triston with a girl from the Silvas in Loxton. It is said that the Silvas approached them first, hoping to strengthen their power through the alliance!”

The Lamberts had always been a wealthy and influential family in Casier. Recently, the Duncans had moved to Loxton, transferring a large portion of their business here.

The Lamberts also determined that the prospects in Casier were limited, and they intended to follow the Duncans to Loxton.

The Silvas were prominent clans in Loxton. Unlike the rising Lamberts, the Silvers had been constantly declining over the past decade, only looking good on the outside.

To maintain their status, the Silvas wanted to ally with the Lamberts through a marriage between the two families.

A broke rich man was still wealthier than the poor. Although the Silvas were in dire straits, as a prominent family in Loxton, they still had relations and connections. These were what the Lamberts urgently needed.

The Silvas took the initiative to propose a marriage with the Lamberts. The elders of the Lamberts were not aware of Triston’s personal life. Seeing him hanging around all day long, they decided on the marriage without Triston’s consensus after meeting with the Silvas’ daughter.

Triston had become accustomed to being unchained, and it was not the first time his elders had made decisions for him. He didn’t even take it to heart.

As soon as Audrey consented, he would go public with their relationship. No one can say anything then.

Catherine’s patience wore off because Aidan kept beating about the bush. She got to the point and asked, “Are you saying Audrey’s injury is related to the Silvas?”

Aidan nodded, “To be precise, I think it’s related to Andrea Silva, the daughter of the Silvas. I’ve met her before. She is good-looking and smart. An intelligent woman with a clear target can be difficult to deal with.”

The eldest son of the Lamberts, Michael, was already engaged. He and his fiancée were a loving couple widely known in Casier. So Andrea could not be aiming at Michael. It could only be Triston.

Triston’s high-profile pursuit of Audrey is notable for everyone in their social circle. A woman like Andrea could not allow others to sabotage her plans.

The Silvas were involved in many cultural industries. Picking on an actress with no background and not getting caught should be easy for them.

Triston was deeply trapped in the situation. Aidan, on the other hand, saw through as a bystander. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

In addition, the relationship network of the Lanes in Loxton was much deeper than that of the Lamberts, and Aidan had also met Andrea several times and knew how smart she was. He didn’t have concrete evidence to prove Andea was behind the scenes, but he felt she had something to do with it.

Catherine nodded slightly, lifted the cup in her hand, and drank it all in one gulp as a gesture of gratitude.

She thought inwardly, “It seems like I have to meet with Andrea. It’s best if Audrey’s accidents have nothing to do with her. Then I’ll leave her to Triston. If Andrea is behind the scenes, I won’t go easy on her.”
