All Her Secrets

Feeling the fury emanating from Rachael, Catherine halted and turned to face her.

Despite Rachael’s demeanor, Catherine’s expression remained indifferent and cold, seemingly unaffected.

She stared at Rachael with cold eyes, silently questioning her intentions.

In Rachael’s eyes, Catherine was an arrogant girl who thought highly of herself.

Rachael’s belief that Catherine was a troublemaker who could only cause distress only grew stronger, fueling her anger to the point where she couldn’t control her temper any longer.

She madly shouted at Catherine, “Who do you think you are, Catherine Swann? Let me tell you, you’d better start behaving yourself. You have no manners at all. Where the hell did you go after school? What were you doing, huh? Do you even know what time it is now? You’re nothing but a wild savage!”

Witnessing Rachael shouting at Catherine, Liana and Johnathan couldn’t hide the joy in their hearts. The bright smiles on their faces revealed their discontent with Catherine.

Liana, in particular, had developed intense hatred towards her after being overshadowed by her in school. She would have loved nothing more than to berate Catherine and kick her out of the house.

Audrey looked at Catherine with concern, wanting to help her. However, she knew how Rachael might react.

Any attempt to intervene without Korbin present would only further enrage Rachael.

Audrey feared that getting involved would fail to protect Catherine and might even result in her own punishment by Rachael. Therefore, Audrey refrained from speaking.

As Rachael saw Catherine remain silent, her anger intensified. She raised her voice again and yelled at her, “Who do you think you are? I’m talking to you! Can’t you hear me?”

Catherine raised her gaze and looked at Rachael, her eyes cold and her tone devoid of emotion. Her response instantly changed Rachael’s expression.

“I walked back home.”

Rachael was momentarily stunned, realizing that Catherine must have walked pretty fast to cover the distance from school to the Swanns’.

Catherine instinctively glanced back at Liana and noticed the guilt in her eyes, providing her with a clear understanding.

Rachael had initially heard from Liana that Catherine hadn’t returned home from school until this late hour, assuming she had been idling around the streets and tarnishing the Swanns’ reputation.
