All Her Secrets

Chapter 111

Kate seemed all right after they left the sea, but she, after all, had choked on the seawater. After shewas taken to the medical room, she had a sore throat, which led to a fever.

She had a high fever and had been making a fuss, which made the issue a grave situation.

The program team had to ask Kate’s agent to inform her parents.

Kate’s parents rushed to the program team without delay.

Seeing her parents, Kate whined to her mother, “Mommy, someone was trying to kill me.”

Kate’s mother was shocked. She asked, “Wasn’t it an accident? Why would someone want to kill you?”

The program team told them that Kate did not prepare well before she entered the water, which causedher to choke on the water.

The program team also passed the buck by implying that the accident was caused because Kate hadnot followed the instructions.

Kate’s mother was now confused upon hearing what Kate said.

Since her parents had arrived and backed her up, Kate told them everything she had been through.

She accused Catherine of bullying her during the program and nearly killed her in the water.

Kate’s parents knew their daughter well.

Kate had asked them to find the higher-ups to press the program team and cast Catherine and Audreyout.

However, Catherine and Audrey were favored among the audience and helped increase the audiencerating of the program. Why would the program team want to let such magnets go?

Kate’s parents thought Kate only quarreled with the Swanns, so they did not force the program team toremove Catherine and Audrey. Now that they heard Catherine tried to kill Kate, they were irritated andhad to take action.

Kate’s father banged on the table hard and snapped, “How dare you let this happen to my daughter?You must be answerable for this today, or I won’t let you off!”

On the other side, some staff members of the program team were preparing the after-party for the firstshow. The other three groups of families were also there. They had heard the biggest investor in theprogram would attend the party tonight.

The producer naa ordered the director not to make any mistakes since their Deneractor would be at thescene. Everyone seemed to be pumped with adrenalin.

When the three groups gathered together, Cindy kindly reminded Audrey of the attendance of theinvestor.

Audrey thanked her and ran back to Catherine in excitement.

“Kathy, you know what? Our biggest investor will come to tonight’s party, and so will Cindy! Do youthink it’s a good chance for me to reverse the situation?”

Audrey also got the news from her agent, Kim. Kim texted and asked her to be on her best behaviorand leave a good impression on the investor. In that case, Audrey would have more opportunities in hercareer.

Unlike Audrey’s excitement, Catherine did not react to the news. She was still emotionless as sheheard Audrey’s words.

But Audrey thought it understandable. Catherine would not stay in the entertainment industry. She onlyjoined the program this time for Audrey.

Audrey had benefited from the program. Kim told her that some advertisers had already contacted him,and they wanted Audrey to endorse their products.

It was something that Audrey did not even dare to think about in the past.

She asked Catherine, “Kathy, are you coming to the party with me tonight?”

Catherine shook her head without even thinking about it. She had no time for that investor. If she hadtime, she preferred to take a nap.

“No.”

Her answer was simple but firm and non-negotiable.

Audrey knew her well, so she did not force Catherine. “Alright, take a rest in the room. I’ll leave theparty earlier and meet you here. Then, we can go home. Don’t worry about me. Kim will pick me up andgo to the party with me.”

“Okay.”

Catherine turned over and went back to sleep.

Audrey left Catherine to rest. She took the things she needed and left the room.

She did her makeup and went to the party.

Kim was waiting for her at the hotel and was surprised to see her alone.

“Audrey, where’s your sister?”

Audrey answered straightforwardly, “Katny is resting in the room.”

“Call her and ask her to come. You know how important the party is. How can she not be here?”

said Kim seriously. He believed if he could sign her and be her agent, Catherine could do well in theentertainment industry.

Audrey disagreed with what he said. She even frowned and eyed Kim in displeasure.

“Kim, my sister’s character is unfit for showbiz. Don’t even try. She said she didn’t want to come here,so don’t force her.”

Kim had known Audrey for years and knew what mattered to Audrey.

Audrey valued her family and would not allow anyone to force her sister to do anything she did notwant to.

Kim had to give up and said, “Alright, alright. Anything you say, honey. Get in there. We can’t be late.”

Audrey arrived right on time, and she had a seat behind Kim.

The guests were seated and waiting for the investor to show up.

The door was suddenly opened. The program producer stood up excitedly, thinking it was the investorwho arrived, but it turned out to be Bobby Cooper.novelbin

The producer knew Bobby. They had dealt with each other. Seeing Bobby’s darkened look, theproducer walked to Bobby and greeted him with a smile.

“Mr. Cooper, what brings you here?”

Bobby snorted coldly, still wearing his grim expression. He said somewhat sourly, “Mr. Palmer, whileyou’re having such a lively party, my poor daughter has a high fever on a sickbed in the hospital.”

Everyone’s face changed.

Kim whispered to the puzzled Audrey, “This man is Kate’s father. He’s powerful and has goodconnections in the industry.”

Audrey changed color slightly and realized that trouble had come. She was only glad that Catherinewas not there at the party.

She would take all the blame and not incriminate Catherine.

Peter Palmer, the producer, was astute. He smiled at Bobby and said, “Mr. Cooper, it was an accident.No one wanted it to happen. Still, please accept my apology. How about you join us and take a seat?Let’s have a drink. If I have a new program next time, I’ll definitely invite Kate.

The investor might arrive at any minute. Peter did not want to get into any trouble.

Bobby refused to let it go. He turned Peter down with a cold face. “It’s not that I don’t want to drink withyou. What happened to my daughter was not an accident. Someone tried to kill her.”

Bobby glanced at the people around icily, and when he saw Audrey, he looked daggers at her.

Bobby went on pressing the program team. He said to Peter, “Give her to me. Let me take her toapologize to my daughter. Then, we can still be friends, and I’ll do everything to help you next time youneed me.”

Kim sensed something wrong. He took Audrey’s hand and got up.

Bobby had the means to achieve what he wanted in the industry, and they could not afford to offendhim.

Kim put on his standard smile and walked to Bobby with a glass of wine, “Mr. Cooper, I’m Audrey’sagent. I knew her well. She would never harm anyone. This must be a misunderstanding. Please don’tbe mad and accept our apologies. It’s our fault that made you angry.”

Kim was so humble, trying to calm things down.

However, Bobby did not show any respect to Kim. He knocked the glass in Kim’s hand down, glared atKim, and snarled, “Who are you? You’re not qualified enough to talk to me.”

It was a slap on Kim’s face. Audrey was furious. She could not suppress her anger and roared atBobby, “How could you do that? It was your daughter who started that fight. It’s unfair that you blamethe innocent!”

Bobby’s face was as gloomy as a tremendous storm was coming.

“Are you saying that I bullied you?” Bobby nodded repeatedly and fiercely. He growled at Audrey andsaid, “Fine, I’ll let you know what bullying is.”

Bobby raised his hand abruptly and slapped hard on Audrey’s cheek.

It was loud.

Everyone present was stunned.
