All Her Secrets

Johnathan received Dayton’s secret message, saying he was taken to the police station. He had a bad premonition and wanted
his mother’s help. Unexpectedly, he heard the maid mentioning Catherine was back.
He was so scared that he dashed into his room and locked himself in it. Catherine might not lay her hands on him in the Swanns’
place.
Meanwhile, Catherine and Branden were in the living room downstairs. The atmosphere of the living room was strange. Korbin
had asked Branden his motive for visiting the Swanns. Branden took a case file from the police station and handed it to Korbin.
“Mr. Swann, take a look at this!”
Korbin was taken aback by it and read through the document seriously. The victim had already been changed to Branden. Korbin
was startled by what he saw.
He had never expected there would be someone in Casier who would dare to assassinate Branden. That person must be foolish!
However, what shocked him most was Branden showing him the information. So, he knew that this matter might not be that
simple.
He put on a surprised expression and looked at Branden as she said, “Who is the person who even dares to assassinate you?
You should never let him off and punish him! Only then would no one dare to think about hurting you.”
Branden shot Korbin a cold glance unintentionally before looking away. He spoke coldly, “Mr. Swann, you are right. I do have to
punish the mastermind to warn others.”
Korbin was puzzled. He nodded and observed Catherine. Unsure why, he felt this had something to do with Catherine.
“Mr. Swann, haven’t you just asked who was behind this?” Branden asked suddenly, leaving Korbin utterly bewildered.
He could not guess meant. what Branden. He carefully observed Branden’s expression, hoping to get an answer. Before he
could guess, Branden told him the answer.
“Mr. Swann, according to the clues and evidence given to me by the police, the mastermind’s name is Dayton Barret.”
Dayton?
Korbin’s heart skipped a beat, and he almost passed out. Paxton placed Dayton’s document before him.

“Mr. Swann, this is the mastermind’s information. It seems the police found he might have partners and are still investigating the
matter.”
Johnathan had many bad friends. Korbin didn’t know many of his friends, but he knew Dayton once by coincidence.
He did not even get to double-confirm if his guess was correct. The next second, he saw the photo on the document Paxton
handed him.
Maybe it was because he was flustered, but he forgot to hide his emotions.
Although he calmed down shortly, Branden had noticed his puzzled and doubtful expression. He had been guessing that Korbin
was involved.
From Korbin’s expression, he knew Korbin had no idea what was going on. Korbin’s mind was in a mess, yet he remained calm
on the surface.
He would not believe his son would have the guts to murder Branden. Then, he looked at Catherine, silently sitting beside
Branden and observing them. He finally understood what was going on. Korbin decided to face this calmly.
He looked at Dayton’s information and pretended to be surprised. “I have never expected such a youngster would dare to kill
you, Mr. Duncan, you should never let this guy off.”
Catherine looked at her cunning father and remained silent. She understood why her grandfather was unwilling to hand over the
family. assets to her father.
Her grandfather did not want his lifework to be ruined just like that. Korbin would ruin everything he had accumulated all his life in
just a few years.
Even now, Korbin still could not see through Branden’s motive. Maybe Korbin was doing this to protect Johnathan. He was
willing to sacrifice anything for his son. Branden sneered meaningfully and observed Korbin.
“Looks like you don’t have any clue. Well, we will excuse ourselves, then.”
Korbin still felt something was off. He thought, “Is Branden here to test me?”
All Branden came for was to ask this.

It was impossible! It would not be simple. When he snapped out of his thoughts, Branden had already gotten up and wanted to
leave with Catherine.
Subconsciously, he called out. “Mr. Duncan...”
Branden stopped and turned around, looking at Korbin coldly. “Mr. Swann, is there anything else you want to tell me?”
Korbin hesitated and asked eventually, “Mr. Duncan, may I know if you have any clues about the other culprits?”
Branden snorted.
He had already been kind enough to speak nicely since Catherine was Korbin’s daughter. However, it seemed that he had been
too kind.
“Mr. Swann, isn’t it obvious why I am here?”
Korbin’s smile faded, and he realized he should not have taken it for granted. Branden was a reputable man and an influential
person in Casier. He was someone everyone feared.
Not only Johnathan but even if Korbin attempted to conceal it, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t be subject to investigation
by the Duncans. Korbin had no choice left.
He shot a cold glance at the butler and ordered coldly, “Go. Get that brat Johnathan to come down now!”
The butler knew something terrible had happened and left without hesitating. After the others left, Korbin invited Branden to have
a seat again.
“Mr. Duncan, please sit and wait for a while.”
Branden disagreed this time and still held Catherine’s hand tight. Korbin felt awkward. He had no choice but to give up. He could
not order Branden, but he could scold his daughter.
“Catherine, why are you standing in your house? Sit and bring Mr. Duncan over to sit there.”
Catherine sneered. They had never treated her as family, yet he said this was her house. It might be a little too late now to
acknowledge her.

Although Catherine did not care about Korbin’s order, she still sat. She wanted to see what Korbin would. do next. Upstairs,
Johnathan heard someone knocking on his door and scoffed as he put on his earphones, trying to pretend he had not heard it.
Unexpectedly, he had only been able to enjoy his silent moment for two minutes. The next second, the room door was opened
forcefully, and he was dragged out of his room to the living room downstairs.
The butler had received Korbin’s order and had to carry it out. He knew it was urgent. So, he did not give Johnathan any chance
to negotiate. He dragged Johnathan downstairs forcefully.
“Mr. Swann, Mr. Johnathan is here!”
Johnathan looked at everyone in the living room and scoffed in disdain upon seeing Catherine.
He was so angry that he broke free from the servant’s grip and shouted, ” How dare you treat me like this!”
Before he could scold more, he heard a loud slapping sound and felt a burning pain on his cheek.
That slap made him feel dizzy, and he was dumbfounded.
