All Her Secrets

Jada was infuriated by the Duncans’ words. She couldn’t believe that not only did Branden defend Catherine, but even Karl did as well. Karl publicly stated that Catherine had been betrothed to Branden since childhood. What could she say now? Wouldn’t she become a laughingstock in Loxton after today?

Jada was so angry that she wanted Conor, her grandfather, to stand up for her. “Grandpa, they…”

Before Jada could finish her sentence, Conor sternly interrupted her, “Jada, stop making a scene!”

Conor knew that Jada had suffered a loss this time, but there was nothing he could do to seek justice for her. Today was his birthday banquet, and there was no need to make a fuss. Judging from Karl’s attitude and Branden’s behavior, Catherine was someone the Facers couldn’t afford to offend, even though she hadn’t officially become a part of the Duncans.

Conor had known Karl for decades, but he had never seen Karl defend anyone so firmly in public. It was evident how much Karl loved this future granddaughter-in-law of his.

Perhaps even Branden’s mother was not qualified to be treated in this way.

Despite Conor’s dissuasion, Jada was still unhappy. She had never felt so embarrassed in her life. She even felt that the gazes around her were mocking her as if she had been stripped naked and thrown on the street.

She stomped her feet in anger and shouted at Conor, “Grandpa, say something! Are we afraid of the Duncans? Today is the Facers’ banquet.

This woman openly assaulted me, which is a serious insult to the reputation of the Facers.”

Jada’s voice was sharp, and Catherine had already taken off her earphones. The piercing sound was like a screeching cat, causing Catherine’s eyebrows to slightly furrow.

Catherine couldn’t tolerate it anymore, and she didn’t need to. Before Branden could intervene, she stood up directly.

Catherine was much taller than Jada, and as Catherine stood up, the domineering aura she exuded gradually intensified.

Jada couldn’t believe that Catherine was still so arrogant. She thought that Catherine was taking advantage of the Duncans’ power. This made Jada even more dissatisfied.
