All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 573 See What You Got

The Duncan Manor stood tall and imposing.

Paxton, holding the latest intelligence, approached the door of the study. Once granted permission, he cautiously

pushed open the door. “Boss, there's sinformation regarding the Swanns. Would you like to take a look?”

In the past, Paxton would have handled such matters himself without reporting to anyone. But things were

different now; she was the head of the Swanns, and she would be Branden’s wife. That was to say, the Swanns

were now considered part of the Duncans’ interests, so it was natural to report such matters to Branden.

Branden glanced over, frowning slightly. “Grelin Group?”

Paxton bowed and responded, “Boss, the Grelin Group is backed by the Coopers from Loxton, who are the in-

laws of Mr. Facer.”

Noble families loved powerful alliances, and Jada’s mother also cfrom a prestigious background, with her

family’s influence matching that of the Facers. Otherwise, Jada wouldn't have gained Conor's favor and affection.

Branden’s deep eyes narrowed slightly as he coldly stated, “Keep an eye on Grelin Group and find out what

they're up to.”

If Jada was not too foolish, she should know precisely what the consequences would be.

“Do we need to inform Miss Swann about this?” Paxton asked.

“No need. Kathy just started school recently and is busy with her studies,” Branden replied. His initially cold

voice softened noticeably when he mentioned Catherine.

Paxton complained inwardly, “Con. To her, going to university was just a way of experiencing a different life.

How could she be busy with her studies? That's definitely not going to happen!”

Branden handed the signed documents to Paxton. “Geta ticket for the morning flight to Loxton,” he ordered.

Paxton was taken aback. “Isn't it supposed to be in the evening?”

There was an important meeting in the afternoon, and negotiations for a project were scheduled for the evening.

In order to return to Loxton as quickly as possible, they had already been squeezing their schedule with no extra

time. And now, Branden was asking to leave even earlier. Perhaps this was what ‘going to extrlengths for

the sake of love’ meant.

Branden fixed Paxton with a cold gaze. Paxton was so frightened that he immediately knelt.

“Sorry, Boss. | will prepare it for you right away!”

When Catherine woke up in the morning, she received a call from Linda. During her tat school, she had

specifically assigned personnel to watch over the Swann Corporation. Besides the professional manager, there

was also Linda, the secretary left behind by her grandfather.

“Miss Swann, there's a significant potential investment opportunity in a recent large-scale collaboration, but it

involves a substantial amount. It may need your advice,” Linda said.

Having worked for the Swann Corporation for so many years, Linda wouldn't contact Catherine unless she met

something she wasn’t sure about.

Catherine responded, “Send the documents to my email,” and then hung up the phone.

“Catherine, we need to pick up the pace. Otherwise, we'll be late for Professor Hartley's class today!”

Amelia stood at the door, raising her voice to get Catherine's attention.

Catherine strode over to her. “Let’s go!”

Ever since Hero publicly invited Catherine to join his team and was rejected, Catherine's status in Amelia's eyes

had risen several notches. Now, she regarded Catherine as her idol, better than anyone else.

The two hurried to the classroom, and just as they entered, the bell for class rang. Amelia once again gave

Catherine a thumbs-up. “Catherine, you're amazing! You've calculated the journey down to the last second!”

Along the way, Amelia had been fretting about being late, whispering to Catherine to hurry up. Catherine,

however, calmly assured her that with their walking speed, they would make it to the classroom before the bell,

so there was no need to worry.

Amelia now finally understood why Catherine was always so composed. It wasn’t just confidence; it was also

meticulous planning. If she could calculate every detail-distances, speed, frequencies-so accurately, she might

also have that scomposure. But these were things that an ordinary person could never achieve, which set

Catherine apart as a “super” individual.

As they found their seats and saw Jada enter with the teaching materials, Amelia couldn’t help but roll her eyes

silently. Her impression of Jada was deteriorating, and she found Jada more and more annoying.

“Her again?” Amelia complained, but Catherine remained silent. She didn’t care who was teaching her. After all,

she wasn’t interested in any of the content.

Seeing Catherine’s silence, Amelia quietly warned her, “Catherine, that woman is giving you strange looks. You

should be careful.”

Catherine glanced at Jada. At that moment, Jada also looked back. Their eyes met, and the hatred in Jada’s eyes

was unmistakable. She clenched her hands on the desk, forcefully breaking the chalk in her grip.

Catherine, however, remained composed, with a demeanor that made it clear to any discerning person that she

didn’t care about Jada.

Jada could sense the disdain, and her hatred grew even stronger. She almost ground her teeth to pieces with the

intensity of her anger, but she knew it wasn’t the right time. She would make Catherine understand her power

soon enough. She vowed that even if Catherine begged for forgiveness, she wouldn't forgive this despicable

person.

Jada did her best to suppress her anger. “Everyone, Professor Hartley will join us in the second half of the class.

For now, I'll explain the basic concepts of this course. Please open your textbooks.

The sound of pages turning filled the room, and the class officially began. Soon after, Jada suddenly wrote a

problem on the board and then looked at the entire class. “This is a basic arithmetic problem. Who can cup

and solve it?”

The room fell silent as soon as she finished speaking, and no one wanted to step forward.

Jada chuckled. “Since no one’s coming up, I'll choose someone myself.”

While observing Jada’s smile, Amelia was about to comment to Catherine about how eerie it was when Jada

pointed in Catherine's direction and loudly said, “Let's have Catherine cup. I've heard Professor Hartley

personally selected you. Let's see what you got.”

The comment was filled with an unmistakable air of hostility.
