All Her Secrets

Catherine, who was accompanied by Branden, walked into the Charm Bar. It was the top entertainment venue in Casier. For Catherine, it wasn’t her first time here. She knew her way around.

Today marked the birthday of Aidan Lane, a close friend of Branden’s. Moreover, the Lanes were once a famous wealthy family in Casier. Aidan had settled abroad with his family as the Lanes’ overseas business flourished.

This year, their business brought them to Casier. And it happened to coincide with his birthday. So, Aidan had gathered a group of friends to celebrate.

Even Branden couldn’t resist the rare occasion and made a personal appearance at the gathering. He rarely participated in gatherings within the circle.

The most luxurious room at the Charm Bar had been reserved for the occasion by Aidan. The people who presented were all his closest friends.

As everyone began to arrive, they noticed that Branden had yet to show up. Someone decided to ask Aidan directly. One of them asked, “Aidan, didn’t you say Mr. Duncan would be here today? Where is he?”

Aidan grinned confidently at the questioner and replied, “Don’t worry. He’ll be here. I just spoke to him on the phone, and he should be arriving soon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the private room swung open. Everyone instinctively turned to see who it was. It was indeed Branden, but he didn’t walk in immediately. Instead, he stood there holding the door like a service attendant..

Those who witnessed this scene were taken aback. They thought inwardly, “Wow. Is there someone even more important than Mr. Duncan? He is personally holding the door!’

Aidan thought inwardly, “Triston has climbed to such a position?” Catherine didn’t know the people inside the private room, and they were guessing about her identity.

The crowd held their breath and waited to see who the newcomer was. They never expected the person to step forward in front of Branden to be a girl. Moreover, she was a very beautiful girl.
