All Her Secrets Chapter 451 by Chestnut

Chapter 451 A Perfect Boyfriend

The three-week special training on Scorpion Island officially came to an end, and only eight people, including Branden, successfully graduated.

As soon as the graduates’ list was released, many people contacted Jon, hoping to hire these eight graduates.

Jon looked at the list and laughed coldly.

Without Branden, the entire team would have been wiped out. But then again, Branden had to admit one thing. This batch of trainees would be the most outstanding since the establishment of Scorpion Island.

Under Mr. Anon’s training, any one of these eight people was qualified to become a leader.

After the training ended, Catherine prepared to return to Casier. Her studies were not yet finished, and Ronin and the others were waiting for her there.

To go from Scorpion Island to Casier, she had to pass through Oceanvile. Naturally, Branden would accompany her, and Thomas also joined them.

Thomas hadn’t seen his grandson in a while, so Catherine decided to stay in Oceanvile for a day before heading back to Casier.

At the airport, Jon looked at everyone with reluctance. The person he was most reluctant to part with was Mr. Anon. “Mr. Anon, can we invite you back for next year’s training?”

Catherine looked at Jon jokingly, replying, “It seems that Scorpion Island’s funds are quite abundant!”

On this trip, she had spent the reserve funds for the next three years of Scorpion Island, and only eight trainees graduated successfully, four of whom were Duncans. Scorpion Island had suffered a great loss.

Jon rubbed his nose and glanced at Branden beside him. The Duncans were one of the backers behind Scorpion Island. It was reasonable for him to ask for the opinion of the main financial supporter right now.

Branden coldly swept his gaze over Jon and gave him a look that meant “Don’t even think about it.”

At first, Branden didn’t know that Anon was Catherine. If he had known, how could he have allowed her to come to the island? After all, besides Catherine, there was no other female on the entire island.

Sensing Branden’s possessiveness, Jon looked at Catherine with concern and whispered, “Mr. Anon, take care of yourself!”

Catherine couldn’t understand the meaningful look in Jon’s eyes. Ever since Branden appeared, she had felt a sense of sympathy in Jon’s eyes when he looked at her.

Jon thought that Branden was so strong, while Mr. Anon looked particularly petite. When the two of them were together in bed, Mr. Anon must be the one below Branden. Jon felt sorry for the torment Mr. Anon had to endure!

Knowing Branden was a tough man, Jon sighed inwardly. “Poor Mr. Anon…”

A helicopter slowly approached. It was their ride to Zerwick. Since they were about to leave, Catherine didn’t need to disguise herself anymore. She took off the heavy disguise she was wearing.

Jon didn’t pay attention to Catherine at first. After talking to Paxton, he turned around and saw a slender and stunning beauty standing behind him, which instantly made him dumbfounded.

He stared at Catherine, his face full of disbelief. “Where did you come from?”

Just as he finished speaking, he noticed the disguise next to Catherine.

“It’s exactly the same as Mr. Anon’s!” he exclaimed inwardly. “Could it be…”

“Are you… Mr. Anon?”

Everyone around looked at Jon with a helpless expression. Jon was probably the only one who didn’t know Catherine’s identity.

Catherine casually glanced at him, and then Branden pulled her onto the plane. After Branden and Catherine completely disappeared from sight, Jon finally came to his senses. He grabbed Paxton’s hand and exclaimed excitedly, “So, Mr. Duncan isn’t a gay?”

Paxton gave him a fierce glare and rolled his eyes. “You’re the gay one! Your whole family is gay!”

The helicopter landed at Oceanvile Airport, and Scott, who received the message, immediately dragged Rodge to pick them up.

Thomas hadn’t seen his grandson in a while, so when he saw Scott coming to pick him up, he couldn’t wait to rush over.

“Scottie, Grandpa is here!”

Scott’s originally excited face darkened when he heard his grandfather calling him. He went straight past Thomas and pounced towards Catherine.

“Chief, I miss you so much!”

Just as Scott was about to hug Catherine, Branden suddenly appeared. His icy gaze fell on Scott, frightening him into stepping back.

Branden’s aura was just too intimidating. Scott couldn’t afford to provoke him.

However, although Scott couldn’t afford to provoke Branden, Scott couldn’t resist his love for Catherine.

Scott looked at Catherine with a pitiful expression and said in a childish voice, “Chief, it’s been so long since we last saw each other!”

Branden turned around and grabbed Catherine’s hand, not allowing her to meet Scott’s gaze.

Catherine seemed to be sought after, as people everywhere wanted to get closer to her. “This brat doesn’t seem like a good guy,” Branden thought. “If he gets involved, he might be even more troublesome than Ronin Oconnor!”

To prevent any potential problems, Branden had to nip it in the bud. Scott was infuriated. He felt that Branden was too domineering. Unfortunately, Branden was so powerful that Scott couldn’t afford to offend him.

Seeing his grandson being upset, Thomas approached Scott with a smile. “Come to Grandpa!”

Scott turned around and glared at his grandfather. “Old man, you’re always running around. Watch out. I might complain to Grandma! And if you don’t want me to tell Grandma, stop calling me by my nickname!”

Scott thought his name sounded normal, but whenever his grandfather called him by his nickname, he couldn’t help but feel like a little girl. Therefore, he particularly disliked Thomas calling him “Scottie.”

Unfortunately, Thomas loved to call him that, and they would argue about it every time Thomas mentioned that name.

Thomas was fearless in his entire life, except when it came to his wife, whom he obeyed and became increasingly obedient to. This led his descendants to threaten him with it every day. However, this time, Scott couldn’t threaten him.

“Kid, I came out to help Cassie. Your grandmother knew about it, so she won’t blame me!” Seeing his grandfather looking smug, Scott became angry. His cute little face instantly puffed up.

The car arranged by Paxton arrived, and everyone set off for the Duncans’ villa in Oceanvile. Upon arriving at the villa and sitting down, a servant came to inform them that there was someone visiting outside the door.

Catherine leaned back on the couch, lying in a comfortable but somewhat domineering posture. She listened to the conversation of everyone with half- closed eyes, showing no intention of chatting. She was tired and just wanted to rest.

Paxton frowned. They had just arrived at the villa, and someone was already visiting. Could there be a mole among them?

“I’ll go check it out, Boss!” said Paxton.

Branden was fanning Catherine with a fan and had no time to deal with Paxton. He casually waved his hand, letting Paxton handle it himself.

Thomas said that Catherine was afraid of cold because of an accident in her childhood that inflicted her with some hidden illness. If she followed the instructions and took care of herself, it could be cured. Unfortunately, she never listened to his advice and never paid attention to it.

After Branden knew this, he treated it as a top priority. He didn’t even turn on the air conditioning in the spacious villa. When Catherine felt hot, he fanned her to cool her down.

What a perfect boyfriend who would go to great lengths to take care of her!

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?"
