All Her Secrets

Paxton pulled over the car at the gate of the Swanns. Catherine said nothing during the ride from the police station to the Swanns. She did not intend to ask Branden why he had brought her to this place.

She was involved, yet she gave others a feeling that she didn’t care about this, like she had nothing to do with it.

This was the second time Branden had visited the Swanns. The last time he was there was at Vicente’s funeral. He had never thought he would be the one who would bring Catherine back.

It made him wonder what Vicente would think if he knew this. The maids did not show much enthusiasm when they saw it was Catherine visiting.

The maids were all Rachael’s workers and naturally would not be nice to Catherine. One of the maids who talked to Catherine did not even address her as Miss Swann. All she did was ask coldly, “Who are you looking for? Do you know you have to make an appointment to get in?”

Facing the maid’s attitude, Branden frowned and took Catherine a step back.

He glanced at the maid coldly. His fierce gaze and oppressive temperament scared the maid. She dared not look into his eyes, and her attitude was less rude.

After warning the maid with his gaze, Branden caressed Catherine’s soft hair and asked, “Has it always been like this?”

Catherine knew what Branden meant. He asked her if the maids had always treated her like this and why she did not fight for her rights. After all, Catherine’s character did not seem like she would endure this humiliation.

Catherine did not even look at them. She lazily said, “Why do I have to quarrel with the dog guarding this house? I don’t know how to bark.”

The maid’s face flushed red in embarrassment and turned pale. She felt humiliated, just like she had embarrassed Catherine just now.

The other two people behind Paxton tried hard to hold back their laughter, making the situation more awkward.
