All Her Secrets

Audrey did not go far. She just sat by the fountain outside the shopping mall, so it did not take long for Catherine to catch up with her.

Catherine approached Audrey, and that was it. She had never dealt with such things and had no idea how to comfort Audrey.

If it were someone else, Catherine would not bother caring. She turned to look at Branden, wondering if he could come up with an idea.

Branden could help her with many things, but his hands were tied too in this aspect.

However, Branden could not bear to look at Catherine’s frowning face. He had no such experiences, but someone else had.

Therefore, the three who were supposed to go to the barbecue restaurant ended up in a newly opened bar in Casier.

They went there because of Triston.

Triston hit it off right away with Audrey. He held Audrey’s hand and had a great talk with her.

Catherine crossed her arms before her chest and stared at Branden near her doubtfully. She muttered, “Will it work?”

Branden mulled it over and raised his brows at Catherine, muttering to answer her. “Who knows if we don’t give it a try?”

Catherine thought his words had a point. She thought of what she would do if it were her. She would get Erik tied up and throw him under Audrey’s feet. She would avoid the vital parts of Erik’s body, stabbing him a hundred times to vent her anger without getting Erik killed.

Anyway, she could make up the forensic analysis to show those were flesh wounds. At most, she would pay for Erik’s medical fee.

Catherine got bored and took an interest in a glass of whisky aside. She took it and was about to drink.

Suddenly, an arm stretched out to stop her.

Unlike the last time when Branden took the glass away from her hand, he now leaned toward her hand and drank the whisky while she was holding it.

After gulping the whisky, he looked at Catherine with fun and said in a deep but rather hoarse voice. “Little girls are not allowed to drink alcohol.”

Catherine did not respond but fixed her beautiful eyes on him with bafflement.

Branden got closer to her, his warm breath spraying on her face, tangling with a light

fragrance of whisky. He squinted his eyes, and in them was relaxation mixed with enchantment. His voice became even lower and more magnetic, tugging Catherine’s heartstrings.
