All Her Secrets Chapter 135 by Chestnut

Chapter 135 Wait and See

As soon as Catherine stepped into the classroom, Ronin immediately stood up and went up to say hello to her.

Previously, it was George who used to be the first one to reach class. Today, George discovered that Ronin had arrived when he arrived at class.

At first, he thought Ronin was a good student who loved to study and who wished he could go to class early to study every day, but later, he realized that he was wrong. He was completely wrong.

It turned out that Ronin didn’t go to class so early to study. After entering the class, Ronin took a small electric pot from his school bag. It was the kind of pot that could heat food. Afterward, his actions dumbfounded George.

George didn’t expect Ronin’s cooking skills to be so good, and even more so, he didn’t expect Ronin to go to class early in the morning to make breakfast.

He initially thought Ronin was living an exquisite life and pursuing perfection, but then he found out that Ronin didn’t eat the food he cooked. It wasn’t until Catherine showed up that George finally realized what was happening.

It turned out Ronin’s breakfast was all prepared for Catherine. Catherine’s position in Ronin’s heart made George exclaim and envy.

Ronin presented his prepared breakfast to Catherine as if he were offering a treasure. He knew that Catherine didn’t like to eat stale food. She only liked freshly made food. That was why he went to school early to cook breakfast.

“Boss, I prepared pizza, oatmeal, and some delicious pickles for you today. Do you want to eat some?”

Catherine took a look. Ronin’s cooking skills were indeed excellent, worthy of someone who was of the highest standard of skill in cooking.

But she was full now and didn’t have any appetite. Even if someone put her favorite dish in front of her, she wouldn’t want to eat it. Catherine shook her head and told Ronin, “I just got full!”

Hearing this, Ronin looked up at Catherine in surprise. “You just got full? Catherine didn’t respond to him but went straight to her seat and sat down. Ronin froze for a while before reacting that Catherine wasn’t joking.

But Catherine had never liked having breakfast. Why did she take the initiative to have breakfast today?

Ronin originally wanted to inquire about the reason. But when he turned his head, he realized that Catherine was already bending over the desk and sleeping. He had to shut up. Seeing Ronin’s hospitality toward Catherine failed, Bryan couldn’t help but laugh at the side.

Catherine was resting. The two didn’t dare to make any noise, but they had never stopped arguing with their eyes, and neither had let go of the other.

The people around were envious of Catherine when they saw this scene. Ronin not only was a good student but also had particularly good looks. He was sunny and handsome. He and Bryan were two completely different types of men.

Bryan was originally an influential man in the class. Many girls secretly had a crush on him. Now, these two excellent and handsome men were all around Catherine, and they couldn’t wait to hold her in their hands as a treasure, making people envy her.

Many people envied Catherine, and even more people were jealous of her. Liana’s deskmate’s face twisted in anger when she saw this scene.

“Liana, do you know what’s so good about Catherine? Or are those men possessed? Otherwise, why would they all be around her? Are they blind?”

Liana was also so angry that her face was twisted. She also couldn’t figure out what was so good about Catherine; the jinx came from the countryside. There were so many people chasing after her. Those people were really blind.

But she didn’t say these things out loud. After all, Catherine, a country girl, was not worthy of being compared to her in her eyes.

Hearing her deskmate’s words, Liana said coldly, “There’s no need to take it seriously. They just haven’t seen her true face.”

Looking at Liana’s relaxed face, her deskmate was still slightly angry.

“Liana, you’re just too good-tempered. Catherine is obviously comparing herself to you both in the open and the dark. If it were me, I would have gotten angry long ago. It’s just that you have a good temper and don’t bother with her!

Liana’s hand holding the pen kept tightening, and a touch of hostility flashed in her big eyes. Her deskmate was right. Catherine was too shameless. Did Catherine want to defeat her and make everyone think that she was the real lady from the Swanns?

There was no way she was going to let Catherine achieve that. Catherine was just dreaming of it.

“Liana, the audition will start tomorrow. You must show Catherine what true music art is! She doesn’t know anything at all!”

Liana’s deskmate looked in Catherine’s direction with great disdain in her eyes and said to Liana with sarcasm.

Liana thought that her deskmate was right. This time, she would make Catherine lose completely. During break time, Catherine woke up and leaned back in the chair in a daze.

Ronin noticed that Catherine’s sleeping time had been getting shorter and shorter lately, and he frowned slightly. “Boss, have you been in a bad state lately?”

“Nope!” Catherine answered in a cold voice. She was in pretty good shape lately and didn’t need to rest for that long.

Bryan finally found a chance to talk to Catherine. He naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity. “Boss, I went back and practiced the song you chose a few times last week, and I feel like I can play it better now. If you’re free this afternoon, would you like to listen to me play it?”

Catherine would participate in the celebration gala’s performance. Ronin was in charge of playing the drum set, and Bryan was naturally unwilling to be left behind.

He practiced guitar every day these days. He paid for three teachers who were specifically responsible for teaching guitar and followed the teaching throughout without missing a second.

He could finally play a piece proficiently and completely, so he couldn’t wait to show Catherine what he had practiced.

“Okay!” Catherine didn’t think much of it. Since Bryan wanted her to listen, then she would help him listen to it. Seeing Catherine agree, Bryan was very happy and looked at her with a smile on his face.

“Thank you, boss!”

Facing Bryan’s complacency, Ronin snorted in disdain. “Hmph, you’ve only been practicing for a few days. Do you really think you’re a musical genius? You don’t feel ashamed to show it off?”

Ronin’s sarcasm didn’t irritate Bryan, and he directly refuted, “Let’s just wait and see who’s the musical genius!”

“Yeah, I’ll wait and see!”

The argument between the two continued. With their eyes fixed on each other, they were eager to kill each other with their eyes if they could.

David and the others who were sitting around were trembling in fear. Ronin and Bryan could really get into a fight as soon as they meet. Catherine was probably the only one who could sit between them and let them bicker with no reaction.

She didn’t understand how Bryan and Ronin, who were originally quite cold, could become so childish when they met. She felt that both of them wanted to pounce on each other and bite each other before they would stop.

But Catherine didn’t want to care about it. She let the two bicker with each other. She thought it was their own business anyway.

Catherine Swann, a simple countryside girl, was having a leisurely and carefree life in the countryside. She thought she could have a happy life there for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, life had other plans for her. Her grandfather left a will for her, making her the inheritor of the Swanns’ billion-dollar fortune. As if that wasn’t shocking enough, he also arranged a marriage for her.

Branden Duncan, the only heir of the wealthiest family in Casier, was the dream prince charming of almost all the women in Casier. But Catherine turned him down in public. Instead of being angry about it, he was attracted by Catherine's cold eyes.Although Catherine seemed to be a girl with a simple life in the countryside, she was not simple. What kind of identity did she have? How would she deal with her unexpected fiancé and the opposition from the rest of the Swanns to her inheritance of the Swanns’ fortune?

Chapter 1 Return of the Jinx At Vicente Swann's funeral. As the Swanns were one of the three prominent families in Casier, Vicente's funeral was naturally packed with big shots and members of respected families in Casier. In the noisy venue, the arrival of a girl in a white T-shirt attracted the attention of everyone present. All of the people present were either rich or powerful. Despite being good-looking, the girl wore a cheap and battered T-shirt, setting her apart from everyone else at the funeral. Seeing how she walked straight toward the Swanns family, someone couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is she? Why is she sitting with the Swanns?" "I heard that she is Miss Catherine, the second daughter of the Swanns that had lived away from the family. Vicente only asked her to come back before he died." "Is that so? I heard that Vicente ordered the family to announce his will in front of everyone before he died. I guess she only returned for this!" ... The girl did not know that she had already become the topic of the guests' discussions. She looked calmly ahead with an indifferent expression on her face. Her eyes remained focused on Vicente's portrait in the middle of the venue. Nobody knew what she was thinking about at the time. At the sight of Catherine Swann like this, Liana Swann, the youngest and favorite daughter of the Swanns, couldn't help complaining to her mother, who was sitting next to her. "Mom, what is going on with this country girl? Grandpa has died. Even if she isn't sad, she should at least pretend to cry. What would the others think if the media took a photo of her like this later? She wouldn't even change her clothes when we asked her to. People that don't know better would think that the Swanns have mistreated her!" After hearing her youngest daughter's complaints, Rachael Swann furrowed her brows too. She thought that her youngest daughter did have a point. She never loved Catherine, her daughter from the countryside, dearly. In fact, Catherine pissed Rachael off just one day after she had returned. However, it was not the right time for Rachael to handle Catherine now. She planned to wait until the funeral was over before sending Catherine back to the countryside so that Catherine wouldn't continue to embarrass the Swanns here. Looking up, Rachael saw that her husband had arrived. She comforted her youngest daughter in a low voice, "Liana, be good. Your father is here. Bear with Catherine for now. We need to deal with what is important first!" Liana couldn't show her annoyance towards Catherine in public, so she could only choke back the complaints on the tip of her tongue. Nobody noticed that Catherine, who had been looking straight ahead, smiled lightly. The Swanns never spent time with Catherine, so they wouldn't know she had exceptional hearing. Even though Rachael and Liana spoke in a low voice, Catherine clearly heard every word of their exchange. Her mother truly did not love her! As Catherine stared at Vicente's portrait, her eyes flashed with a faint trace of sadness. Did she have to cry because of pain? ... Korbin Swann walked up the stage slowly. He gave a long speech first and expressed his views about how great Vicente was before finally announcing that the family would publicly announce Vicente's will. As many people knew this beforehand, the crowd was not too surprised. Vicente had a son and daughter. It was a no-brainer who would inherit the fortune of the Swanns. However, nobody understood why Vicente would make sure to make such a fuss to announce his will publicly. Was it just for formality? The lawyer Vicente trusted the most when he was still alive opened the sealed will and read it out loud. "After careful consideration, I, Vicente Swann, leave all my shares of the Swann Corporation, real estate properties, and a 500 million-dollar deposit at the Bank of Nospines to my granddaughter, Catherine Swann..." At the lawyer's words, the crowd gasped in shock. Not even the Swanns, everyone present was dumbfounded. Catherine Swann? Wasn't she the second daughter of the Swanns, the jinx that Vicente sent off to be raised in the countryside when she was young? How could it be? She would inherit the fortune of the Swanns. With their jaws dropped, everyone shared a similar look of horror. Except for Catherine, the center of the discussion. She still looked indifferent, as though nothing had happened. Her eyes were still fixed on Vicente's portrait in the center of the hall. Her lips parted slightly as she spoke in an almost inaudible voice. "Old man, what were you thinking?"
