All Her Secrets

Korbin was not only alive but also doing much better.

When he emerged, Audrey asked, “Dad, what's going on?” Korbin pointed toward Liana and softly replied, “She... harmed... me.” Audrey couldn’t hold back and rushed forward to confront Liana. She grabbed Liana by the collar and asked, “Why? He's your own father!” Hearing that, Liana stayed silent.

Audrey, unable to contain her emotions, relentlessly slapped Liana’s face. “You're insane! You even hurt your own father!” Triston couldn’t stand it. He wasn’t against Audrey punishing Liana. But he feared Audrey’s agitation might hurt herself.

He stepped in and pulled Audrey away. He gestured for her to calm down.

Liana, previously quiet, suddenly raised her gaze. She stared at Catherine with an eerie look. “Catherine, you've got quite the schemes. You even use Dad to frme. What other tricks do you have? Just showall your tricks!” At this point, even Catherine was somewhat impressed by Liana’s rebuttal. “You're so stubborn!” “I'm stating facts!” Liana retorted with a displeased expression.

Then she continued, “Just like you all said, he’s my biological father. Why would | harm him? What benefit is there forif he dies?” Indeed, it was the issue that baffled everyone. As Liana said, Korbin cherished her the most. If he dies, it would also be her misfortune.

Catherine didn’t want to waste more time. She laid the truth out plainly.

She replied, “Because you feared people knowing that Korbin’s stroke was because of you.” Liana collapsed inwardly. She hadn't expected Catherine to know this. “How did you know?” Catherine retorted. “You did it yourself, yet afraid of others finding out?” When Korbin fell ill, Catherine sensed something fishy and then had someone investigate.

Liana had sinternal conflict after causing Korbin’s condition. While taking care of Korbin, she inadvertently revealed her feelings, which were overheard by a caregiver.

Later, the caregiver informed Catherine that. In reality, Catherine had no intention of dealing with Liana.

As Liana herself admitted, it wasn’t intentional.
