All Her Secrets

Audrey suddenly realized that Catherine had been refusing to respond as she was standing up for her. Audrey nodded repeatedly and said, “I’m sure. She had apologized to us, and I think that’s enough.”

“Okay, it is up to you,” Catherine said coolly and flung Branden a look. Without Branden asking, Paxton arranged for the security guards who were guarding the shop door to part.

Josh said to Catherine with gratitude, “Thank you, Miss Swann, for forgiving us. Let us know if you need our family to do anything for you. We are leaving now. Sorry to bother you today.”

With that, he pulled his wife and daughter away hastily. He seemed deeply afraid that he and his family would not be able to leave if he delayed for just one more second.

Catherine looked at their retreating backs, and a glint flashed across her eyes. It was a cutthroat world, and the weak would be eaten. Only men with power could overrule. everything.

The only way not to be bullied was to stand at the top. The Burtons and their people were gone. Audrey took Catherine’s hand and was about to leave as well.

Audrey felt quite uneasy with Branden around them, especially since he had such an imposing manner. “Kathy, shall we go to the next shop?”

Audrey seemed determined to buy some clothes today and she would not go home if her goal was not achieved. Catherine had to nod in agreement

Branden had been observing Catherine’s expression from the side. He could tell Catherine did not want to go shopping, but she held herself back and did not refuse Audrey.

He was somewhat curious about the reason.

The Catherine he knew would never force herself to do anything she did not want to.

Branden thought Catherine was indulging Audrey and not just tolerating her.

Audrey seemed to occupy an important position in Catherine’s heart.

“Catherine’s patient with Audrey, but why did she always have a poker face when talking to me?” thought Branden.

Audrey held Catherine’s arm and was about to step out of the shop.

“Wait!” Catherine suddenly shouted to stop her.

Audrey stopped walking and looked at Catherine in confusion, wondering what Catherine wanted to do.

Catherine rested her eyes on the service assistant, and the latter flinched under her icy gaze.
