All Her Secrets

Chapter 247

In the hospital, Linda was in a state of disarray. She sat with the police to take statements. Herprofessional outfit was still stained with a lot of blood. Her hair, which had always been arrangedmeticulously, looked a bit messy at the moment.

However, her strong professionalism allowed her to cooperate under such circumstances calmly. It wasreally surprising. After the police had finished taking statements, Catherine went straight up and walkedto Linda’s side.

Linda was about to speak when she saw Catherine, but the expression on her face immediately changedwhen she saw Audrey behind Catherine.

Catherine could tell what Linda meant right away. She turned her head to Audrey and looked at her withan expressionless face.

“I’m thirsty.”

As soon as she heard Catherine say she was thirsty, Audrey immediately said anxiously, “I’ll go buy youwater then. You ran in such a hurry just now. It’s normal that you get thirsty. You just wait for me here!”

After saying that, Audrey ran away in a hurry. Catherine turned back to look at Linda. Before she saidsomething, Linda took the initiative to introduce the basic situations, displaying the competence of aprofessional secretary to the fullest.

“Miss Swann, Leonel is seriously injured, but his life isn’t in danger. His leg bone is broken. The doctorsare still examining his other injuries.”

Catherine breathed a soft sigh of relief, but her face continued to show a calm demeanor. Her cold gazewent over Linda’s body carefully.

“Are you all right?”

“Miss Swann, thanks for your concern. I’m fine. Leonel and I discussed the project about an hour ago. Itwasn’t long after we left the company that there was a car accident.”

Linda looked at Catherine with a strange look for a moment after she finished speaking. It didn’t take aguess for Catherine to realize that there was something in her words. “Just tell me!”

Linda nodded and lowered her voice, whispering, “Miss Swann, I suspect that this is not an accidentalcar accident but a deliberate murder. The other party drove toward us with no intention of slowing downat all.”

Fortunately, Leonel had a quick reaction and turned the direction of the car at a fast speed to minimizethe damage while shielding Linda at the same time.

Otherwise, Linda would be the one lying in the hospital bed right now. Thinking of these things, Lindacouldn’t help but want to tear the other party apart. Catherine’s calm eyes instantly became cold.

“This is not an accidental car accident but a deliberate murder…”

These chilling words kept coming to Catherine’s mind. She exuded a terrifying aura all over her body.Leonel had always served the Swann Corporation and was the chief lawyer of the Swann Corporationlegal team. He hadn’t offended anyone over the years.

Now that he suddenly had an accident, Catherine seriously suspected that this matter had something todo with her.

Linda looked at Catherine with some concern. The reason why she didn’t dare to say these words infront of Audrey was that she was worried that this matter would be leaked out.

Lowering her voice, she came close to Catherine’s side and gave her a reminder. “Miss Swann, I suspectthat this matter has something to do with the cooperation project we signed with Mr. David. Now thatLeonel and I are in trouble at the same time, you’d better be careful too.’

Catherine narrowed her eyes slightly at Linda. A chilling light appeared in her eyes, and her voice wascold to the bone.

“You mean, it was Korbin?”

Linda didn’t dare to nod her head, but her eyes were looking straight at Catherine. Linda wasn’t fullycertain who did it, but at the moment, Korbin was the most suspicious. Korbin was Catherine’s father, soLinda couldn’t say it bluntly.

Linda looked at Catherine carefully after she finished speaking.

She originally thought Catherine would be unable to control her emotions. After all, Catherine was just alittle girl. Even if she was a bit smarter than an average person, it was normal for her to be unable toremain calm in the face of such a crucial matter of life and death.novelbin

But to her surprise, Catherine’s expression remained unchanged after learning that the object ofsuspicion was her father.

The only thing Linda could sense was that Catherine’s aura was constantly strengthening, and thesurrounding air pressure became cold due to her powerful aura.

Just when she was hesitating whether to say something or not, Catherine opened her mouth to saysomething.

Catherine’s gaze was clear and cold as she looked at Linda. The end of her beautiful eyes was slightlyupturned, carrying an appalling domineering aura.

“I’ll arrange for someone to look into this matter. I’ll also arrange for someone to protect you and Leonel.Leave the rest to me!”

Leonel and Linda were the people who worked for her, so they were her people. Since those peopledared to touch her people, they would have to pay a corresponding price. For some reason, Catherine’swords made Linda feel inexplicably secure.

Catherine was born with leadership abilities and convincing abilities. If it were someone else who hadsaid something like that, Linda would have mocked them in her heart for their self- importance.

But Catherine made her believe it, and she was silently relieved. There was a sound of footsteps coming.It was Audrey who rushed back after buying water. Audrey handed Catherine a bottle of water in herhand. “Kathy, here you go!

Audrey reacted only after Catherine took the water. She reached out, planning to get the water bottleback.” Catherine, I’ll open it for you!”

At the moment she spoke, Catherine had already unscrewed the bottle cap. She handed Audrey thebottle of water that had been opened. After that, she took the unopened bottle in Audrey’s hand andopened it to drink. Watching the interaction between the two from the sidelines, Linda was a littleshocked inside.

Looking at Catherine’s attitude toward the Swanns, Linda had originally thought that Catherine wascarrying a great deal of hatred toward the Swanns inside.

After all, Catherine had been labeled as “jinx” since she was a child. She was sent to the countryside andsuffered a lot.

Linda thought that this experience, which was difficult for normal people to experience, was highly likelyto make Catherine become cold, indifferent, and even hate everything.

However, based on the relationship between Catherine and Audrey, Linda realized that her previoussubjective judgment was wrong. Catherine didn’t hate everything, and she was clear about what to love

and what to hate.

There was no disdain in Audrey’s eyes when she looked at Catherine, and she treated Catherine withwarmth and friendship. Catherine treated Audrey with the same attitude, giving her the greatest care.

Johnathan had always despised Catherine, and in return, Catherine had given him a severe whipping.So, Linda figured that if she was loyal to Catherine, Catherine would definitely be nice to her.

Audrey looked at Catherine and Linda. Only when she saw that both of them were quite calm did shedare to inquire,

“Is Leonel all right?”

Catherine glanced at Audrey and spoke in a cold voice, “He’s fine. He just broke a leg and a rib or two!”

Hearing her say such horrible words in such an extremely calm manner, Audrey almost fainted.

He just broke a leg?

And a rib or two?

This was called he was fine?

Audrey could feel the pain by hearing those words, but Catherine was able to say it with such a calmface. Catherine was really impressive.

After half an hour, the doctor came out and told them that the patient had woken up. Considering all thesafety issues, the hospital only allowed one family member or friend to enter the ward to visit.

Linda asked Catherine to visit Leonel without even thinking about it. “Miss Swann, you go. Maybe Leonelwants to talk to you.”

“Okay!” Catherine gave a grunt and nodded in agreement. She understood what Linda meant.
