All Her Secrets

Chapter 958 Fate Is Unfair

Catherine and Branden walked hand in hand out of the courtyard. Thomas noticed them first. He nudged Karl and said with contentment, "Karl, you might not be much, but your grandson is quite nice. He matches well with Cassie."

Karl felt a bit displeased. He was about to retort. But upon careful consideration, he thought Thomas's words, though not pleasant, were somewhat accurate. Uncharacteristically, he didn't argue and instead nodded in agreement. "Catherine is exceptional. Otherwise, I

wouldn't have agreed to Vicente's proposal so readily and made the betrothal for Branden early on," Karl said.

Karl's words imitated Thomas. He knew Karl's business acumen was sharp, never engaging in unprofitable deals. Unexpectedly, Karl was just as discerning in judging people. When Catherine was still very young, Karl had already set his sights on her and chosen her for Branden.

Reflecting on it now, Thomas became even more unwilling and retorted, "You old rascal, at that time, Cassie was just a few years old, and you were already thinking of her becoming your granddaughter-in-law. You are so cunning."

Karl coldly snorted and replied, "You're just jealous!"

As Catherine and Branden entered, they heard the two old men bickering. Catherine shook her head helplessly.

Branden lightly patted her hand to ease her. He asked, "Has dinner started?"

Thomas's attention was immediately redirected. He smiled at Catherine. "Cassie, are you hungry?

Catherine, in cooperation with Branden's hint, nodded. "A bit."

Thomas promptly stood up. "I'll go to the kitchen and urge Aaron. I'll also lend him a hand." And so, Thomas left.
