All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 220 She’s Gloriously Radiant
Liana’s performance had been arranged after Catherine’s, but Liana wanted to take the lead to impress the audience before
Catherine, so she switched the order with Jessica. Jessica naturally agreed.
She wished Liana could beat Catherine and avenge her.
“Liana, don’t worry. I already asked my fans to be prepared. They will all vote for you, and so will I. You will surely win the
championship.”
Liana put on a bashful smile and looked somewhat embarrassed. “Jessica, thank you so much. You are so kind, but I...”
Jessica interrupted her words. “There’s no ‘but.’ I want you to be the winner, and that’s it.
“Now, you need to powder your nose and freshen up. You are about to perform. You need to look astonishing.” Liana smiled
slightly and turned to walk toward the stage.
The moment she turned around, the smile on her face was gone. Her eyes were a little like Catherine’s, and in them flashed a
hint of coldness. Liana never thought that she would be the one to benefit from the fight between Catherine and Jessica.
She had regarded Jessica as a tricky opponent, but now Jessica had become her help. How ironic that was. Today, Liana would
let Catherine know what she was capable of.
The celebration gala began. Catherine’s show was at the later part, so she sat in the auditorium to have a rest. The
performances began one after another, attracting the audience.
Catherine had no interest in the performances. She leaned against Branden’s shoulder and closed her eyes to rest. Branden
was holding a tablet and working. He was there for Catherine and also had no interest in anyone else.
When it was Liana’s turn, Triston and the others in the front seats of Catherine and Branden were happy to see her walking on
the stage. Triston even turned his head back in a thrill and shouted. “Catherine, here comes your sister.”
Catherine was about to fall asleep but opened her eyes because of Triston’s words. Branden noticed her move and cast a cold
look ahead.
The mere look frightened Triston, making him want to kneel already. His heart skipped a beat and almost stopped. He shrank his
neck and dared not speak again. Catherine looked at the stage. It was indeed Liana.

Liana was wearing haute couture from a luxury brand and delicate makeup. She was in high spirits. It seemed she had spent
great effort for the celebration gala.
Liana started to play her song. Her piano prowess won the hearts of the audience. Catherine listened for some time and thought
that Liana had improved herself.
Catherine could tell that Liana had worked hard on practice, but she cared too much about the fame, causing slight impatience in
her melody. It was not a good thing to be too eager to show oneself.
Liana finished her song, and there was a burst of clapping. Ronin came to Catherine and reminded her in a low voice, “Boss, we
should go and be prepared.”
Catherine nodded and handed the coat on her lap to Branden. Branden gazed at her and said hoarsely but tenderly, “You can do
it.”
Catherine did not even bother to nod. She just revealed a faint smile before walking away with Ronin. Catherine went backstage,
and Bryan had already been well-prepared and waiting for her.
Seeing her still in her hoodie and shorts, Bryan was surprised. “Boss, aren’t you going to change your clothes?” Catherine
looked at him without much expression. She said quietly, “Is it necessary?”
Ronin chimed in, “That’s right. You look perfect dressing like that.” Especially her long legs, which added so much to her charm.
Since Catherine did not care, Bryan did not persuade her again.
“Last check before we go on the stage.”
Ronin and Bryan heard Catherine’s order and began to check their instruments. Liana left the stage slowly to tumultuous
applause.
She knew from the eyes under the stage that she would surely be the champion. She wanted to see how Catherine could
compete with her.
“Liana, you are brilliant.”
Nash walked to Liana with a bouquet of flowers. Liana took the flowers pleasedly. For her, the best thing was to be the center of
attention.

She left with Nash to celebrate her victory in advance. Anyway, the outcome was a foregone conclusion. It would be enough for
her to come back at the award ceremony.
The emcee called Catherine’s name and announced it was time for her team to perform the show. Catherine looked both sides at
Bryan and Ronin. They were both confident without any stage fright or nervousness.
That was the state Catherine expected them to be. She did not see this as a competition but merely a game she had in her spare
time. She spat out the gum she had been chewing into the trashcan and took the microphone.
Catherine walked onto the stage in an imposing manner. When the three stood still on the stage, the applause and cheerful
whistles sounded.
There was no doubt that they were popular among the students. Standing on the stage, Catherine hooded to cover her delicate
appearance.
She put her finger before her lips and made a gesture. The audience fell into silence. They were all holding their breaths and
waiting for her.
The spotlight found her and shone on her like a bright moon. Catherine was like a big star on the stage at the moment. Branden
sat quietly in the seat of honor in the auditorium, and he already put his tablet aside.
Just like everyone else, all he could see was only Catherine. Catherine was definitely attractive on the stage. Branden’s deep
eyes were sparkling, and a smile played on his lips.
Her little girl was gloriously radiant and striking. With a signal from Catherine, Ronin drummed the first note. Followed by the
deafening and intense drum beats was Catherine’s dreamy voice.
As the song’s climax came, Catherine was so excited that she pulled down the hood that hid her face. The audience saw her
gorgeous face on the large screen and almost forgot to breathe.
She was stunningly ravishing. Her voice was fantastic, and her appearance glamorous. She was born to be the center of focus.
Grayson was also sitting in the auditorium, watching Catherine’s show.
He had been mad at Catherine and decided to give her up since she had turned him down that day. But at that moment, he
doubted his decision.

He changed his mind. He would persuade Catherine to apply to the Ealsmen Conservatory. He believed she deserved it. No one
was more clear than he was that it would be a shame if Catherine did not enter the music world.
If Liana’s piano piece surprised the audience, then Catherine’s song was incredible. It was so pleasant to hear. Her voice was full
of power and remained lingering around. It was not shallow but haunting.
After a long time, the audience finally came back to their senses. There was a long, full meed of applause, which was the
greatest affirmation of Catherine’s team.
