All Her Secrets

Chapter 202

Recently, the last class of the day has changed to become a self-study class. As for the students who had signed up to be part of the performance, they went to the practice room to practice.

Ever since the school announced the scale of the celebration gala, everyone had been eager to compete for fame.

Because of the incident with Grayson, many girls changed their opinion of Catherine. There are a lot more classmates who dared to take the initiative to talk to Catherine.

“Catherine, doesn’t your group need practice? It’s not too late for now. If you go later, the practice room will be occupied!”

Without even raising her head, Catherine answered lazily and nonchalantly, “I’m not interested!”

The classmate who asked Catherine the question had gotten used to Catherine’s attitude and stopped asking. Anyway, Catherine had been like this since she came to Class 8.

At first, everyone felt offended by Catherine’s attitude, but then they realized this was her nature and got used to it.

Liana followed her best friend, Jessica Freeman, to the classroom door and overheard the conversation between Catherine and that classmate. As she walked out of the classroom, Jessica frowned and asked, “Liana, your sister’s attitude is a little bad!”

Jessica was Liana’s new best friend after Elena. Like Elena, Jessica was also a rich young lady from a wealthy family. She had a beautiful and dignified look.

She was talented, and her swan dance surprised the audience. Liana had excellent communication skills. From a young age, Rachael had brought her out to participate in various social activities. As such, she knew best how to make friends with these wealthy ladies.

Since Jessica started talking about Catherine, Liana looked at her apologetically and whispered, “Jessica, don’t mind her. It’s just that my sister is not quite sure how to get along with others. She was sent to the countryside by my Grandpa when she was a child. It hasn’t been long since she returned, so she probably hasn’t gotten used to it yet!” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Hmph!” Jessica snorted coldly, her face full of disgust. “You’re right! She suddenly goes into the city and thinks she isn’t a humble country girl anymore, so she’s arrogant now.”

They were all in the same circle, and Jessica naturally had heard about the story of the Swanns. Her mother was close to Rachael and as such, she too heard only bad things about Catherine. In her heart, she was very disdainful of Catherine.

Liana sighed silently and didn’t say anything. But from her big, watery eyes, one could see her sadness and helplessness. Jessica realized she had said the wrong thing and hurriedly comforted Liana.

“Liana, don’t take it to heart. Although you are sisters, we know you are the real young lady from the Swanns. You’re the cultured young lady raised in a powerful and rich family. That country girl is no match for you. I don’t think Catherine can remain arrogant for long. Don’t worry!”

All Liana wanted was for outsiders to recognize her. She wanted everyone to know that the Swanns only had one young lady, and that was her.

Liana nodded politely. “Jessica, you can’t say that. Catherine is my sister after all. If she can be a little more modest, I’ll be satisfied. I hope she can get the championship at the celebration gala. As long as she is happy, I’ll do anything!”

Jessica looked at Liana with heartache, her dislike for Catherine growing stronger.

“Someone said she’s not interested, but she brought down the Student Union by some means to get promoted. Look at how she flatters Bryan. The Duncans must have helped her a lot in this.”

Everyone didn’t believe that Catherine could make the Wales bow down, and they all thought that the Duncans stepped in to resolve the matter.

They all believed that Catherine’s victory in the Student Union incident was because she had Bryan’s favor and the support of the powerful Duncans. But no one in their group liked Catherine. When it came to Bryan, Jessica couldn’t help but complain.

She had a good feeling about Bryan initially, but she didn’t expect Bryan to like Catherine. In Jessica’s opinion, Bryan followed Catherine around like a dog all day long. It caused Jessica to hate Catherine subconsciously.

“Liana, don’t worry. We’re all on your side. Bryan will see that country girl’s true face one day, and that will be the time for her misfortune!”

Jessica didn’t even bother to call Catherine by her name. In her opinion, Catherine didn’t deserve to have Swann as her first name. Liana lowered her head, and beneath her lowered eyes was all icy coldness.

Bryan wasn’t important! She needed Branden to see Catherine’s true face, and that was the key. Bryan was a junior in front of Branden. The person in power of the Duncans was Branden, the person standing at the top.

Liana didn’t realize that her Grandpa would be that biased toward Catherine. Not only did he leave all the family assets to Catherine before his death, he also arranged for Branden to be Catherine’s fiancé.

The most annoying thing was that the Duncans agreed to this marriage.

If the Duncans were any other family, others might think that they agreed to the marriage because they coveted the Swanns’ assets. However, the Duncans were so rich that the wealth of the Swanns was

several times lesser than that of the Duncans. How could the Duncans possibly covet the assets of the Swanns?

Thinking about this, Liana became angry.

“Jessica, come on. Let’s practice the piano!”

Jessica could see that Liana was in a bad mood but she could understand. Anyone else who had such a jinxed sister would be unhappy, right?

“Liana, it’s fine. You play the piano so well. The overall championship is yours for sure, and no one can steal your thunder.”

Liana smiled in embarrassment. Jessica, don’t forget that your dance is also amazing!” Jessica had a domineering appearance. “Don’t worry. I’m not interested in the overall championship. I’ll have all my fans vote for you then!”

Jessica had been famous for a long time and had quite a few supporters inside the school.

“Thank you, Jessica. You’re so nice to me!”

Liana’s face was covered in smiles. If one looked at her carefully, one could see the icy evil within her smile. That was a smile of an ambitious victory!

Catherine’s newly composed music score was finally ready. She sent the score to Ronin and Bryan.

“You should practice it sometime.”

Ronin shook his phone happily. “Boss, don’t worry. The tune you made is unprecedented.”

Bryan glanced at the music score and was shocked. Although he didn’t know much about music, he could feel the power of the song just from scanning the score.

Not only was its melody superb, but the lyrics had a great artistic conception. It was ethereal and overbearing, like the feeling of a great secret hidden behind the clouds.

It was subtle, weird, and overbearing. Bryan looked at the music score and then at Catherine in amazement. Boss, did you compose this?”

Without waiting for Catherine to answer, Ronin jumped in and said, “Are you stupid? If it wasn’t Boss, who else could have composed such an exquisite song? You idiot.”

Bryan felt that Ronin was right to praise Catherine. After all, their boss was excellent, but he couldn’t accept Ronin complimenting their boss while belittling him in the process. Bryan stood up suddenly, glaring at Ronin. “Idiot, who are you insulting?”

Ronin didn’t want to lose to Bryan. He responded, “Idiot, I’m insulting you!”

Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Catherine stood up and walked out. These two must have been enemies in their previous lives.
