All Her Secrets

Chapter 894 I Am Sorry

Ignoring the secretary’s attempts to stop her, Audrey stormed into Brian’s office.

The secretary, terrified by Audrey’s murderous intention, was about to call security but was stopped by Brian’s command.

“You can leave us,” Brian said, and the secretary hesitated before complying.

Before the secretary could exit, Audrey charged at Brian, gripping his collar fiercely, her glare seething with a desire to end him right then and there.

The secretary was taken aback by the sudden outburst. It was hard to believe the gentle superstar could exhibit such brutality behind closed doors.

Rumors had been swirling about her being a sugar baby, but no one had ever seen such a sugar baby storm into her sugar daddy’s office and grab him by the collar with such audacity. This was not sugar-baby behavior-it was like dealing with a deity.

Seeing Audrey so worked up, Brian quickly tried to calm her down. “Aud, you can say whatever you want. Just calm down, okay? You’re going to hurt yourself. Can we talk about this?”

Gradually regaining her composure, Audrey threw Brian’s hand off. ”

Alright, it’s time we had a real talk.”

She hurled her phone at him. “Explain this to me, Brian. I consented to all your conditions and every single threat you made. But have you been true to your word?”

Brian gazed at her with a look of heartfelt sorrow. “So, all that’s happened between us, in your eyes, it’s just a barter, something I coerced you into?”

Audrey’s eyes were filled with loathing. “Brian, if you hadn’t used that video of Catherine as leverage, do you think I’d be with you? Now the video’s leaked, causing an uproar. What the hell are you after?”

Brian felt a pang of pain. He hadn’t realized she saw their relationship as merely a deal. “I love you. Why would I leak the video and ruin everything between us?” he responded.

Despite Brian’s firm tone, Audrey didn’t buy it. “The video was in your hands, Brian. If not you, then who?”

“I wasn’t behind the video’s creation. Just because I could obtain it doesn’t mean others couldn’t. You underestimate Catherine and those she has angered. Their reach goes far beyond what you can imagine,” Brian replied.

Sickened by his glib defense, Audrey retorted with venom, “Stop explaining, Brian. First, you blackmail me with the video, then coerce me into this film. I’ve read the entire script, so what’s left for you to conceal?”

A flicker of panic crossed Brian’s face, quickly masked, but Audrey noticed.

“I’m warning you, Brian. If any harm comes to Catherine, I swear you’ll regret it for your entire life.” With those final words, Audrey stormed off the office to find Catherine. She was concerned Catherine might not be able to handle the scandal.

The apartment doorbell echoed.

“Answer the door!” Catherine shouted over her shoulder to Branden without taking her eyes off her intense game. He rose promptly and made his way to the door.

Branden wasn’t surprised to see Audrey there. Knowing the limited number of people aware of the apartment’s location, and the buzz surrounding Catherine online, it was logical that Audrey would have been alerted immediately.

“Where’s Catherine?” Audrey’s voice trembled with concern.

Branden stepped aside, gesturing for Audrey to enter.

Inside, Audrey found Catherine engrossed in her game, seemingly unaffected by the scandal. Audrey pulled Branden aside. “Mr. Duncan, does Catherine know about the video?” Given the widespread online discussion, Audrey doubted Branden would be oblivious, Considering his evident concern for Catherine, he must be aware. ‘Branden may have shielded Catherine from the news, leaving her in blissful ignorance,’ she thought.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Branden couldn’t help but smile at Audrey’s expressive face. “She knows.”

Audrey was stunned. “She knows? Then why is she…”

Before she could finish, Catherine looked over. Audrey rushed to her side. “Kathy, about the videos online…”

“It’s true,” Catherine admitted without hesitation.

Coming to her senses, Audrey embraced her sister tightly. Haunted by the video, she had suffered nightmares, waking up in tears each time. The thought of Catherine enduring such trauma at a young age was more painful than a knife to Audrey’s heart.

“I’m sorry, Kathy,” Audrey apologized, her voice heavy with guilt for not being there for Catherine when she faced such trials.

Catherine soothed Audrey’s hand. ” Loosen up, or you’ll suffocate me.”

At those words, Audrey instantly relaxed her grip.

Catherine inhaled deeply, having nearly been smothered by Audrey’s tight embrace. “It’s not your fault. You didn’t throw me in there,” added Catherine.

To Catherine, she held no resentment toward anyone. After all, her life and destiny were in her own hands.
