All Her Secrets

The Duncans, a prominent family, have been located in the southwest corner of Casier for centuries. There had always been a legend that this place was a gathering point for spiritual energy.

It was rumored that one of the ancestors of the Duncans was a powerful psychic who recognized the auspiciousness of this location and built the ancestral home here, ensuring the prosperity of the Duncans for generations. Although Catherine wasn’t a psychic, she couldn’t deny that the Duncans chose a great location. Nestled by the mountains and rivers, it was a pleasant place to live in.

The car came to a steady stop in the courtyard, and Paxton stepped out of the car to open the door for Branden before standing aside obediently.

Branden walked around to the other side of the car and opened the door for Catherine.

Catherine stepped out of the car and entered the house together with Branden.

Unlike the modern-style architecture outside, the living room of the house was full of traditional decorations. The crimson color added a sense of solemnity and dignity to the entire room.

As soon as Catherine sat down, she heard the sound of a cane tapping on the floor coming from the side. She turned her head and saw Karl walking towards them energetically with his cane.

Karl had injured his leg when he was young, and now that he was older, he needed the cane to walk properly. Although he was nearing his twilight years, there was still a faint aura of dominance surrounding him that made people hesitate to meet his gaze.

After Karl sat down, Catherine stood up voluntarily and bowed slightly as a gesture of respect.

Karl was an elder, and although Catherine was usually not bound by formalities, she was not a disrespectful person.

Seeing her stand up and bow, Karl, who had originally wanted to maintain a serious demeanor, suddenly became less composed. He quickly extended his hand and gestured for Catherine to sit down, saying, “Please, have a seat. No need to be so polite.”

Catherine sat down with a calm expression on her face, her demeanor still indifferent and distant. Karl’s presence didn’t affect her.

Karl squinted his eyes and glanced at Catherine from time to time. He thought no one had noticed, but even Paxton could see it all.

Suddenly, Branden, who had been ignored by Karl the whole time, spoke up.
