All Her Secrets

Halfway through, Audrey received a call from Rachael, asking where Audrey was and specifically emphasizing one question.

“Has Catherine come along?”

After hanging up the phone, Audrey turned her head to look at Catherine, her eyes still filled with confusion.

“Kathy, why is Mom suddenly so concerned about us this time? She keeps asking if you’re coming or not. It’s really strange!”

Then, Audrey answered herself, lost in her own thoughts, “Maybe it’s because our relatives on Grandma’s side haven’t seen you for a long time, and they’re eager to see you since you rarely come back. Well, old people always hope for family reunions, right?”

Audrey muttered to herself, and Catherine remained silent. Audrey was used to Catherine’s silence, so she didn’t think much of it and continued to speak from time to time.

Catherine lazily leaned against the car door, her eyes half-open. The slanting sun made her face appear fair and radiant, which looked incredibly beautiful.

A hint of mockery was on her exquisitely perfect face, hidden within her lazy and carefree posture. “They want to see me?” Catherine murmured in her heart. “Perhaps. But anyway, I don’t care.”

After a journey of over half an hour, their car finally stopped at the entrance of the Langs’.

The Langs were originally an ordinary small family, but things changed because Rachael married into the Swann family.

The Langs’ children benefited from this marriage and gained many advantages from the Swanns. They went from an ordinary small family to a wealthy one. The rest of the Swanns had already arrived. Korbin, Rachael, Liana, and Johnathan were already seated and waiting.

Audrey glanced at them, a bitter smile appearing on her face. She whispered to Catherine, “Kathy, don’t you think they look more like a family? And we…”
