All Her Secrets

Chapter 260

Inside the hospital room, Audrey and Yesenia were still chattering about skincare products while Bryanstarted playing games online with Ronin.

Branden sat with his eyes closed, not saying a word, but no one dared approach him to disturb him.Paxton stood like a statue at Branden’s side, motionless and imposing.

With Paxton standing by Branden like that, others were even more afraid to go near him. Triston was theonly one who was idle in the huge ward.novelbin

He walked up and down the ward, looking around, but couldn’t find any fun. Seeing Catherine enter, hesuddenly had a bright idea and asked the crowd, ” Since everyone is here, why don’t we havebarbecues?”

Audrey was arranged in a high-end independent ward. There were only two wards on this entire floor,and they were separated, with direct elevator access. It would not affect other wards and routine medicalwork if they barbecued here.

But after Triston said that, everyone’s eyes attacked him. He glanced cautiously at Catherine. Beingglanced at by Catherine’s cold gaze was as terrifying as being looked at directly by Branden, making himtremble all over.

“I’m just asking. If you don’t want it, then forget it.”

Triston smiled to ease his embarrassment. “Take it easy. No hard feelings!”

Yesenia tsked in disgust, and her words were full of contempt. “Uncle Triston, you don’t know whatAudrey’s situation is now? She could only have light food now. She could only watch us eat if so many ofus barbecue here. Do you think it’s good?

“Or you’re holding a grudge against her and deliberately taking revenge on her?

Triston didn’t think so much. Audrey was Catherine’s sister. It didn’t matter if he offended Audrey, but ifhe offended Catherine, he would be finished.

When Triston planned to explain, Audrey said reproachfully, “That’s right. Triston, you scumbag. Do youhold a grudge against me? Or else why do you plague me like this?”

Triston’s face was full of grievances. He looked like he had nowhere to complain about his grievances.

“I don’t!”

He turned his head toward Branden for help, but Branden ignored him. Now, he was in despair. He couldonly blame himself for being greedy and offering this suggestion without thinking twice. Although theydidn’t want to have barbecues, it was still time to have dinner.

Seeing so many people in the ward, Audrey felt a bit awkward. After all, everyone was here to visit her.She said to Catherine, “Kathy, you take everyone to have dinner. The hospital has arranged healthymeals for me, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

Just as she finished speaking, she saw a girl wearing a sweatshirt and carrying a large school bag walkin. Seeing so many people in the ward, the comer seemed slightly surprised. Subconsciously, sheopened her mouth and said, “Are you all Audrey’s fans?”

Seeing the comer misunderstand, Audrey explained quickly, “Kiri, they are all my friends. This is mysister Catherine.”

“Kathy, this is Kiri, the assistant you helped me find. She’s coming to the hospital to stay with me tonight,so you don’t need to stay here with me. You still have to get up early tomorrow to go to school.”

Catherine glanced toward Kiri and nodded slightly in greeting. Her attitude was neither cold norenthusiastic.

Kiri, however, kept staring at Catherine, looking her up and down carefully. Then, with a face of surprise,she said, ” Miss Catherine, hello. Nice to meet you. I’m Kiri Herman.”

Kiri used to work as an assistant for Grayson for many years, but at that time, Grayson did not have thecurrent status. She was just an assistant responsible for chores around Grayson.

She knew Grayson’s efforts and talent better than anyone else. She watched Grayson work hard andquickly ascend the peak that others would never reach, even if they worked hard for a lifetime.

She always thought people like Peerless Grayson were like gods, without any emotions and desires,because she had never heard rumors about him.

Later, she discovered something accidentally that shocked her. She found that every time PeerlessGrayson received a mysterious phone call, he could be in a good mood for the whole day.

Moreover, a photo of someone’s back was inside Peerless Grayson’s wallet. Although she could not seethe face of the person in the picture, she was sure it was a girl.

Whenever something major came up, Peerless Grayson would stare blankly at this back photo. Sheonce boldly asked Peerless Grayson if the girl in the photo was the one he liked.

She clearly remembered that Peerless Grayson said to her with a serious face, “It’s someone that Iadmire and respect as much as a god!”

At that time, she was shocked. Later, when she saw the smile Peerless Grayson showed when he metCatherine in a variety show, she realized that this was the person who could make Peerless Graysonhappy all day with every phone call.

After meeting Catherine in real life, she finally realized what stunning beauty meant. Catherine was justtoo beautiful and graceful.

Kiri had been observing Catherine consciously or unconsciously, and Catherine had also sized up Kiri.When Catherine saw that Kiri was quick and good at caring for people, she agreed that Kiri would stayand take care of Audrey. Catherine glanced at the crowd and said, “Let’s go!”

Branden was the first to respond. He put down his crossing long legs and walked over to Catherine’sside, actively taking her hand. His movements were both smooth and natural. He took Catherine’s handand put it into his arm.

“Going to dinner?” The man’s deep eyes looked at her gently with questioning. Catherine didn’t answerhim but directly pulled him away, and the rest of the people naturally followed. In a few moments,however, Kiri was the only one left in the ward to accompany Audrey.

Seeing no one was around, Kiri boldly asked Audrey, “Audrey, who was that handsome guy holding yoursister just now? He was so imposing. I didn’t even dare to take a look at him.”

Audrey didn’t expect Kiri to ask this, but she could understand why Kiri asked that. After all, as long asBranden was present in a place, it was probably difficult for regular people not to notice him.

“He’s my sister’s boyfriend. Not to mention you, even I rarely look at him.”

Audrey showed a mysterious smile toward Kiri. Kiri, however, smiled a bit guilty. From how Brandenlooked at Catherine, Kiri knew their relationship wasn’t ordinary.

After learning about Branden’s relationship with Catherine, Kiri only felt a pang of heartache. She felt itfor Peerless Grayson.

She didn’t know what Peerless Grayson would feel if he learned that his idol had a boyfriend. Catherinegot in the car with Branden, and Triston followed to get in as well. When he reached out to pull the cardoor, he found it locked.

He subconsciously knocked on the glass, but the car was started and driven away. Triston almost fellbecause he didn’t react in time. He stomped his feet in anger.

Catherine couldn’t help but laugh at the image of Triston making a fool of himself. The man sitting next toher looked at her with his eyes filled with doting and asked softly, “Feel better?”

Catherine turned her head and looked back and forth at the man with cold eyes. Her voice was very light,but there was a sense of arrogance. “So you saw that!”

Although she didn’t know what exactly Triston had done to Audrey, Catherine knew that the one whosuffered was Audrey.

Since Audrey didn’t pursue the matter, Catherine naturally wouldn’t take action, but that didn’t mean sheforgave Triston for what he did. The man pursed his lips with a smile but didn’t respond.

However, Paxton, who was driving, felt a chill behind him and shivered. He knew now that he couldoffend anyone but never Catherine.

To make Catherine smile, Branden even fooled his friends. If Paxton offended Catherine, even if hewasn’t kicked out of the Duncans, he would be sent to an extremely impoverished place to mine.
