All Her Secrets Chapter 210 by Chestnut

Chapter 210 My Woman is Timid

Those who were present to witness the scene all widened their eyes in shock, their faces as pale as sheets. They had never seen a girl who was so ruthless and decisive in her actions.

On that stunningly beautiful face, her eyes were cold and indifferent. A wicked smile escaped from the corner of her mouth, seemingly indistinct, making people feel unreal.

When she sat there quietly without moving, she was like a holy flower on the top of a snowy mountain, lonely and cold. Her strikingly beautiful appearance and her cold, distant demeanor made it difficult for people to approach her with ease.

On the contrary, as soon as she made her move, her expression remained unchanged, but her aura became terrifying, just like Satan descending to earth.

She only struck three times, respectively aiming at Aaron’s two legs and an arm, each blow faster and harder than the last.

Aaron’s desperate screams echoed through the scene. The arrogant and unruly Mr. Blaton of half an hour ago was now like meat on the chopping block and could not do anything. Aaron passed out from the pain after Catherine’s beating.

Jameson was better. At least he wasn’t fainting. However, his sweaty face and bloodshot eyes gave away how much he was holding back his emotions and restraining himself at this moment.

Catherine swung the golf club and stood aside. Joseph respectfully stepped forward and held a clean white handkerchief in front of Catherine.

Catherine casually handed the golf club to Joseph and naturally took the white handkerchief to wipe her hands, like an elegant and noble queen.

Jameson did not look very well at this moment, so his secretary took the initiative to help him with the situation and came to Catherine to ask her about it.

After watching the whole process, everyone present no longer dared to look down on Catherine. The breathtaking aura around her overwhelmed the crowd. “Miss Swann, about the Blaton Group, may I ask…”

Catherine knew what the other party was going to say without him finishing his words, and she lazily glanced at the secretary.

Just a single glance gave the secretary the feeling of being pressurized by a powerful aura, so much so that even breathing became a bit of an agony.

Catherine remained silent, and at the side, Joseph took the initiative to Since say, you guys agreed to the deal, we will naturally not pursue Blaton Group any further. As for the losses caused by your own wrong decisions, you’ll have to bear them yourselves!”

Joseph’s face was full of smiles as he spoke, and the cold and heartless words coming out of his mouth gave off a feeling of thoughtfulness and care, which was just too scary. Jameson’s secretary shuddered and inwardly felt a pang of remorse for his boss.

Perhaps if they had decisively paid out 100 million dollars just now and acted a little more sincerely, they wouldn’t have gotten into this situation now.

In just a short 10 minutes, Blaton Group’s market value at least evaporated more than a billion dollars. Not only that, but Aaron also lost a pair of legs and an arm.

At the end of the day, it was all because they were too ignorant and arrogant to mess with someone they couldn’t afford to. Jameson arranged for his son to be sent away, and his bloodshot eyes fixed on Catherine. Catherine did not say anything and just stood there, her eyes cold and dark, without any change.

She knew that Jameson hated her. She had crippled Jameson’s son, and it was impossible for Jameson to let her off. As long as there was a chance, Jameson would make her worse than Aaron!

But the question was whether Jameson could get the chance. Catherine would wait and see if Jameson was so capable. Catherine looked up and caught the sight of the three men slowly approaching her.

Her gaze accurately landed on the man standing in the very center, who seemed to come in a hurry and didn’t even wear his coat. His tall, slender frame was perfectly showcased by a black slim-fit shirt.

The moment Catherine looked back, the man was already standing in front of her, making her unable to resist exclaiming in her heart, “Longer legs are better. They walk faster than others.

Branden stood beside Catherine and slightly bent down to hold her small hand hanging at her side. His sharp brows slightly furrowed on his stunningly handsome face. He  asked in a low, magnetic voice, “Why is your hand so cold?”

Catherine had been standing in the cold wind for so long that her hands were naturally cold. She raised her head and fixed her clear eyes on the man in front of her, saying, “I’m pretty much dressed, and it’s not very cold!”

The man was already less than pleased. Even if she had worn enough, after standing in the wind for so long, she would still get cold from the blowing. He took Catherine’s hand and turned back towards Jameson, who was watching them from the side.

Jameson stared at Catherine with intense hatred in his eyes, and inside his brain were images of how to get back at Catherine. He couldn’t even wait to kill this audacious woman right now.

Branden’s sudden stare caught him off guard, and he failed in time to retract his ferocious gaze. Branden’s face darkened at the ferocious look, and a murderous aura emanated from his body as the corners of his mouth lowered.

There was clearly a sense of arrogance and evil dominance in the man’s dark, deep, icy eyes that gripped Jameson’s throat like a vise.

“Mr. Blaton, my woman went too far and caused trouble for you.”

Jameson stiffened at Branden’s words. His already pale face became even uglier at this moment, and his bloodshot eyes instantly filled with desperation.

He looked at Branden in a panic. “Mr. Duncan, please don’t say so. It’s my son who was ignorant and offended Miss Swann. Mr. Duncan, please forgive us. It’s all a misunderstanding!”

“Misunderstanding?” Branden murmured softly, with a touch of weird teasing inside his eyes. “It’s better to be a misunderstanding! My woman is timid, so Mr. Blaton, you’d better not scare her. Just come to me anytime if there’s something you want to talk about.”

“What? Timid? Are you sure you’re not telling a joke? She wasn’t even hesitant when she broke my son’s legs, and that’s still considered timid? Then, what constitutes boldness? Fighting a tiger with bare hands? You’re just having her faults shielded,” cursed Jameson inwardly.

The Duncans stood unrivaled in Casier. If one wanted to do business in Casier, the most important thing was not to offend the Duncans. Jameson was not that stupid to fight with Branden. He wouldn’t court death, just like hitting a stone with an egg.

He knew Branden had seen through his thoughts. Given the power of the Duncans, Branden could easily make the Blatons disappear in Casier if he ever dared to have such thoughts in the future. Jameson hastily bowed his head to apologize, totally giving up what he had in his mind.

“Mr. Duncan, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

Branden did not bother with him anymore and led Catherine away. He didn’t know exactly what had happened tonight, but he knew the Blatons’ business in Casier was considered to be at its end.

Branden’s words had just been heard by a lot of people, and by tomorrow, the news was expected to spread throughout the entire city. It did not take a genius to realize that the Blatons had offended the Duncans, so who would dare to do business with the Blatons in the future?

Aaron really brought a big disaster to the Blatons this time!

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?"
