All Her Secrets

Chapter 217

Hearing his wife’s frightened look, Jameson hurriedly comforted her. Sylvia was more than ten years younger than Jameson. She looked perfect for her age. She was almost forty but seemed only thirty.

She was adept at manipulation and coquetry, so Jameson adored her deeply. Jameson patted Sylvia’s back and glared at Terrance. “How could you say that to Sylvia? Apologize!”

Terrance was so disappointed with his father. He went about the trouble Aaron caused and begged for forgiveness. Yet, his father took Sylvia’s side and rebuked him. Terrance could not stand it anymore.

He finally understood that Aidan was right about his family. The Blatons were so hopeless. It was time for Terrance to draw a line with them and save himself.

He looked up at his father, his eyes firm. “Dad, the only thing we can do is to cast Aaron and this bitch out of our family. In that case, our family might still have hope.”

His words irritated Sylvia, but she was scheming and clever enough not to curse Terrance but ask Jameson to have her back.

“Jameson, you saw how Terrance treated me. He dared to say so in front of my face, so you can imagine how he spoke ill me behind my back-poor me. Aaron is still lying there unconscious. Why don’t you just let me die?”

Jameson was also enraged. He snapped at Terrance sternly. “You bastard! How dare you! Apologize to Sylvia, or you will be the one that is cast out of the family.”

“Well, well.” Terrance sneered. “Go ahead and cast me out. Think about it. What else will the Blatons still have after offending the Duncans?”

Sylvia panicked. She thought Terrance did not care about the family because the Blatons were going bankrupt. If that were true, Terrance still had the legacy his mother left him and a wealthy wife, but Sylvia

had got nothing.

She could not let Terrance abandon the family. She begged hard with the grievance, “It’s my fault. Jameson, Terrance, please, stop arguing.”

Terrance hated Sylvia for pretending to be so pitiful. He looked sternly at Sylvia, who stood on the edge of a precipice without knowing it.

“You can drop your act now. We all know what shameful secrets you are hiding.” Sylvia was livid. She stared daggers at Terrance, wishing she could rush to him and tear him apart.

“What are you talking about? Why do you have to be so sour? I see. You want to abandon your father and run away when the family has a crisis. Am I right? You are a jackass. You will get your comeuppance.”

Terrance fixed his eyes on Sylvia and asked her, “Sylvia, why don’t you talk about who the troublemaker is? We would not be in such a disaster if your precious son did not cause the trouble.”

“Damn it! That’s your younger brother! “Jameson roared with fury. Terrance still smiled coldly and calmly. “You are wrong. That’s not my brother.

Sylvia’s body froze with fear, but she maintained her composure. Jameson thought that his eldest son was crazy and refused to admit that he had a younger brother.

However, what Terrance said the next second seemed to have set off a bomb. Terrance stared at Jameson. An evil smile played on the corner of his lips, making him look somewhat ferociously.

He was not hysterical or bellowed with rage. He only spoke calmly, like talking about something ordinary. “Dad, tell me this. How can a type A blood and a type B blood give birth to a type O blood?”

Jameson was shocked, and his pupils were dilated. He seemed to age some years instantly. He was not a fool. Neither was his son. He could easily expose such a lie if Terrance lied about it.

Sylvia was dumbfounded. It took her quite a while to react. She took Jameson’s hand with her body trembling. “Jameson, that’s not true. Don’t believe him. Terrance was framing me!” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Terrance snorted coldly with disdain and took his wife to leave the ward, which disgusted him. His mother had long passed away, and there was no one worth Terrance sticking around for.

After receiving the news about what happened among the Blatons, Catherine smiled faintly and ordered Ronin, “Ronin, investigate Terrance and see if he is a talent. If so, keep him.”

“Yes. Boss. Leave it to me.” Ronin thought that Terrance was quite lucky. The Blatons were beyond saving. It would do no good to Terrance to stay with them anymore. If Terrance could work for Catherine, that would be a blessing in disguise. As Ronin thought, something else suddenly struck him.

“Boss, after we release the news of you and David officially signing the contract, plus the order the Swanns signed with our base, you will surely win in the valuation adjustment mechanism.”

It was still yet to come to the set time, but Catherine could easily double the market value of the Swann Corporation and get its stock price surge with the two contracts.

Ronin wanted to laugh. Those people were overreaching themselves by trying to fight against Catherine.

“Yeah,” Catherine mumbled muffledly. She was not surprised by her victory. She had arranged the projects well enough to ensure that the market value of the Swann Corporation could soar.

It was only that Catherine did not know what reaction Korbin would have after he heard the news.

The Swanns owned enough of the industries. Korbin had spent most of his life managing the businesses. How would he be willing to give up now?

Catherine decided not to think and just let things be. She only wanted to rest. Go back to your practice. We will have the preliminary the day after tomorrow and the final next week.”

When he received Catherine’s call, Ronin was practicing the drum set.

“Yes, Boss. I will work harder on it.”

Two days later came the preliminary. The outcome was never in doubt. Catherine’s team moved on to the final, and the audience immersed themselves in their music. The crowd surrounded Catherine, Bryan, and Ronin after they came down from the stage.

David looked thrillingly at the three. At first, people all thought that they were only fillers. No one expected that they had such prowess. The crowd started to praise them non- stop.

“Catherine, Bryan, you are just amazing! I heard your song at the rehearsal and could not sleep that night. Your song had been replaying over and over again in my head. Today, I finally could hear it again. It’s perfect. I love it.”

“I just filmed it on my phone. I can replay the whole performance tonight! I am filled to the brim with happiness just thinking about it.”

Catherine was expressionless. She was still calm and not affected by those praising words. On the other hand, it was the first time Bryan received such high comments from his good friends.

“Are you sure you are not exaggerating? Bryan looked at the crowd with doubt. The crowd nodded in unison and reached out to point at Catherine.” Especially Catherine. Her voice was angelic. I have never heard anyone sing like that.”

“Indeed. She’s great.”

An unexpected voice chimed in. People all raised their heads and saw it was all raised their heads and saw it was Grayson standing behind them.

Grayson had always been aloof and kept pretty much to himself. He had a natural gift for music and was proud, so he rarely talked to his schoolmates.

His schoolmates were used to his indifference. After all, the geniuses were usually lone wolves. No one had thought he would applaud Catherine, which proved that the crowd’s praises were not exaggerated.
