All Her Secrets

Amelia sensed something was off. As the voice condemning Catherine rose, she discreetly tugged at Catherine’s sleeve.

“Catherine, maybe we should leave. Something's not right here!” Though Amelia believed Catherine was innocent, stirring up a crowd wasn’t worth it. They had better step back and let things cool down.

Catherine was initially planning to leave, but Jada didn’t figure out the situation and even morally pressured Catherine.

Jada was so clueless and asking for trouble. If Catherine didn’t play along, it'd be rude not to reciprocate.

Catherine took a couple of steps forward and approached Jada.

Seeing Catherine closing in, Jada was uneasy.

Catherine had an intimidating aura, which made Jada tremble as she talked to Catherine.

“What do you want to do, Catherine?” Catherine stared at her, sneered, and asked in a low voice, “Aren't you hoping I'll forgive you?” That cold, eerie grin sent shivers down Jada’s spine, making her upset.

She was regretting this, and she thought she shouldn't have provoked Catherine. Even though Jada felt a bit scared now, it was too late for her to change anything.

She braced herself and continued with her initial plan.

“Yeah. If you're willing to forgive me, I'll do whatever you ask!” Catherine crossed her arms and slowly circled Jada.
