All Her Secrets

The next day, Catherine walked out of the school gate. A low-key black Bentley was parked not far away, with the head butler of the Breens, Jay, standing next to the car. It was clear who was sitting in the car.
Catherine didn't avoid him and walked straight toward the car. Jay smiled and opened the door for her, and Catherine bent down to get in.
Shane had been waiting in the car, and when he saw Catherine, a rare smile appeared on his usually serious face." Cassie, long tno see!" Catherine looked politely at him, her eyes filled with indifference. "Long tno see." Shane's enthusiasm evidently did not fade due to Catherine's coldness. "It's been almost ten years since I last cto Loxton. You've been studying here, so you should be familiar with the city. How about takingto lunch?" Catherine did not refuse and then told the driver an address. Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Golden Spoon.
With her hands in her pockets, Catherine followed behind Shane and entered the private room. They didn't notice that a few people were watching them curiously on the side.
"Isn't this Catherine Swann from the electronic information engineering department?" The speaker was a student from Styre University, Isadora Wale.
Standing next to her was Emma Wale, who had been keeping a low profile since losing to Catherine in the National Literary and Art League. She had finally managed to get into Loxton and unexpectedly ran into Catherine. It really was a small world! "Isadora, do you know her?" Emma asked.
Isadora said disdainfully, "She's quite famous on campus. Everybody knows her." Catherine's popularity at school was too high, and Isadora looked down on such people the most. She said sarcastically, "Why does she cto a place like this with an old man? And they've even chosen a private room! There must be something fishy going on. Look at that old man. He's worth a fortune. Maybe she is that old man's kept woman!" Emma didn't expect Catherine to be still so high-profile in a new school, and she felt a surge of anger. She and Isadora were cousins, but Isadora had grown up in Loxton with a much better family background than hers. "Isadora, I think you're absolutely right. It's a shyour classmates are still in the dark, admiring her just for her looks!" This hit Isadora right in the heart. The man she admired the most was Drake.
She had a crush on him for his outstanding performance in the gaming arena, thinking he had great charm. However, she recently found out that Drake was actually interested in Catherine. There was even a photo of Catherine on the table in their dorm.
When she heard about this, her hatred toward Catherine intensified.
"Emma, you're right. We can't let such a disgusting and despicable woman be so arrogant. We must expose her shameless behavior," Isadora said to her cousin, Emma, her eyes filled with rage.
Watching the angry look on Isadora's face, Emma felt quite satisfied. This time, she was going to ruin Catherine's reputation.
In the private room, Catherine ate her food quietly. She had been to this restaurant several times with Branden, and the food was decent. Feeling her stomach full, she put down her fork.
Shane was still enjoying his meal, clearly satisfied with Catherine's choice of venue.
"The Eskanese cuisine is truly remarkable. No wonder you refused to eat the food the chef made when you were in Euphosean," Shane said.
Catherine had a taste for Eskanese cuisine, and the bread and steak lifestyle in Euphosean was bearable for her occasionally, but she couldn't handle it every day.
After satisfying their hunger, Shane's conversation turned to business." Cassie, I'm getting old. We need an heir, and I hope that person is you." He knew Catherine's capabilities better than anyone, and only she could be his proudest successor. In his opinion, Catherine was the one who could lead the Breens to a more powerful and glorious future.
He had known Catherine since she was 12 years old. At that young age, she was exceptionally thin and weak but had beautiful eyes. He initially thought Catherine was from a poor family in distress, but he didn't expect that everything about her, from her clothes to her living expenses, was not cheap. Later, he was impressed by Catherine's talent. He had never seen such a smart child.
Although Catherine was intelligent at that time, she was no match for Shane. He brought Catherine back to the family and trained her to bechis top assistant. Unexpectedly, she left later on.
Catherine's expression remained unchanged. Clearly, she had no interest in Shane's offer. She looked coldly at him and said, "I'm not interested!" Catherine never liked to repeat herself, and Shane knew her character well. Knowing that Catherine's rejection was genuine disinterest, he felt regretful. However, he had no intention of giving up just yet. Since he had taken the initiative and she was unwilling to accept it, he planned to find a way to make her cto him on her own. Many years ago, he was able to make Catherine follow his orders, and he believed he could still do so now.
After finishing their meal, Catherine suggested leaving, and Shane did not refuse. As they got up to go, they were informed that Mr. Duncan had already paid the
bill.
Shane raised an eyebrow and looked at Catherine with a meaningful smile. Cassie, it seems your boyfriend doesn't trust you," he said, implying that if he trusted her, why would he have someone keep an eye on her?

Almost all the waiters had been replaced, and their first rule at work was to
recognize who Catherine, the boss of the restaurant, was. The moment
Catherine appeared, the manager informed Branden.
Shane's face immediately darkened, as he didn't like this kind of joke. Clearly, he had beca laughingstock. Before leaving, Catherine didn't forget to taunt him. "It's getting late. My boyfriend will worry about me, so I'll be off!"
