All Her Secrets Chapter 231 by Chestnut

Chapter 231 Fight

Catherine glanced at the four. In fact, there was no need for Grayson to take action. Ronin alone should be enough. If Ronin couldn’t defeat the four, then Catherine should seriously consider sending him back for further training.

Ronin and Grayson were not actually fighting for their lives but rather competing against each other. Grayson showed no mercy when fighting. Ronin didn’t want to be behind and increased his speed.

They knocked out the four top-tier bodyguards within five minutes. Ronin arrogantly stomped his foot on a bodyguard, looking at Loraine provocatively.

“Are you so looking down on us as to actually send someone like this? Can’t you find someone stronger so that I can move my muscles a bit?”

Yesenia and the others were dumbfounded. They never would have thought that Ronin, who looked like a young boy with delicate features, would be such a good fighter.

What surprised her the most was Grayson. She used to watch his movies and thought his martial arts moves were impressive. However, those were all just movies. She didn’t take it seriously.

Unexpectedly, he was able to fight exactly like in the movies. Yesenia felt that she liked Grayson a little more.

“It’s a pity that Grayson flattered that jinx. How hateful!” thought she. Loraine also didn’t expect the two boys by Catherine’s side to be such skilled fighters. While she didn’t send out her best fighters, it was not a problem for her bodyguards to deal with a dozen or so big men.

It was shameful that two thin young men defeated them within five minutes. Loraine took out her phone and sent out a distress signal. Soon, two men hurriedly rushed over.

The two were arranged by her father to protect her. Unless facing a life-or- death situation, she rarely resorted to their assistance.

Today, she was genuinely infuriated by Catherine. “I must teach her a lesson to regain my dignity,” Loraine said inwardly.

Of the two men brought by Loraine, one was tall, and one was short. The taller one had a towering stature and was a world champion boxer.

The shorter one was the grandmaster of boxing. They were both hired by the Sanfords to protect Loraine, and their combat force was exceptional.

Ronin’s eyes brightened when he saw the two. Finally came two interesting ones. He could have a good time fighting. The two experts recognized that Ronin and Grayson were skilled fighters and also looked forward to having a good fight.

For experts like them, it was quite rare to come across worthy opponents in their daily lives. Unfortunately, before Ronin could approach them, Catherine had already reached out and firmly grabbed onto his shoulder.

Ronin looked back. After figuring out Catherine’s meaning, he obediently retreated, though somewhat unwillingly. It was not that Catherine wanted to fight, but rather that she did not want to waste time.

“The two possess good combat skills. If Ronin and Grayson team up, they can easily handle one opponent each. “However, the opponents are also top- notch experts, and this tug-of-war might not end in a short period of time, ‘thought she.

She seldom went out to have fun and did not want to waste her time here. Seeing Catherine suddenly walk out, the two experts were a bit confused.

They carefully observed Catherine and did not see any significant signs of her having formidable strength. They pointed to Ronin and Grayson behind Catherine and said arrogantly, We don’t fight with a girl. Let the two brats behind come out.”

“Humph!” Catherine sneered coldly, tilting her head and glancing at the two with disdain. Her posture was lazy and domineering. “Stop babbling and just fight if you can!”

The two were provoked by Catherine significantly and intended to teach her a lesson. One excelled in using fists, while the other excelled in using legs.

The coordination between the two was very tacit, with one on the left and one on the right. In the beginning, both looked down on Catherine and only sent one person to fight.

After Catherine performed a sweeping kick and knocked down the short person, they realized she was an unfathomable expert.

Catherine gave the fallen man a chance to get up, hooking her finger at them with a defiant expression. Ronin and Grayson held their chins up in unison, watching Catherine fight with admiration.

It had been a long time since they had seen her fighting. How could they miss such a rare opportunity?

They hoped these two fools would put more effort into their fight and last for a while longer so that they might also learn from it.

The two experts attacked Catherine with full force. This time, they did not dare to underestimate her and fought with utmost determination.

One attacked her upper body, and one struck her lower body. They made every effort to attack but still could not resist Catherine’s moves.

Catherine’s movements were exceptionally nimble, and her punches contained a powerful force that could inflict severe injuries upon her opponents.

Seeing that they couldn’t take advantage of the situation and both of them together were no match for Catherine, the shorter person made the decision to resort to treachery. He quietly reached into his pocket and drew out a specially-made small dagger, preparing to ambush Catherine. Catherine had noticed it, but she didn’t care.

“Playing dirty? Don’t they know that I am their teacher in this field?” she thought. When the tall one lunged with his punch aiming at Catherine, Catherine greeted him head-on.

Her two slender and tender arms were like a huge pair of scissors at this moment, restraining the big man’s arm and bending it sharply.

“Clank!” There was a crisp sound. Then, they heard the big man open his mouth and let out a shocking scream. Ah…”

Under the terrified gaze of everyone, Catherine broke the big man’s arm forcefully without the slightest mercy. The short man saw the opportunity and rushed forward with his small dagger. Catherine was ready to lift her leg, but in the nick of time, suddenly…

“Ah!”

With a scream, the short man rushing toward Catherine abruptly collapsed to the ground in anguish and clutched at his leg. Catherine fixed her gaze and saw a knife was stuck in the man’s leg.

Perhaps due to the excessive speed and force, there was not much blood on his leg, but the scene was truly terrifying.

Everyone looked in the direction where the knife was shot from and saw a group of men with extraordinary temperament.

Branden was taking the lead, followed by Bryan and Triston. Bryan had just finished a phone call and happened to run into Triston. He asked a few questions only to know that his uncle was also coming, so he waited for his uncle to come together. To his surprise, he was greeted by such a stunning scene as soon as he arrived.

Loraine also saw Branden. She slowly stepped forward with a slight smile, ready to make the most beautiful impression on Branden. Seeing Branden walking toward them, she couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart and shouted in a low voice, “Branden!”

Unexpectedly, when passing by her, Branden did not pause and passed by her as he walked forward. Loraine turned back in anger, only to find that Branden had stopped before Catherine. In front of everyone, he directly took Catherine’s hand.

On Branden’s handsome and stunning face, his two beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his deep and dark ice-cold eyes glanced disapprovingly at Catherine. His tone was also cold. He seemed to be suppressing his anger.

He was really worried that his outburst would scare Catherine. The scene just now was too dangerous. He spoke coldly with a hint of suppressed anger in his tone. “Why did you do it yourself?”

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?"
