All Her Secrets

Chapter 521 The Same Flight

In the blink of an eye, it was the first day of school.

Audrey had taken a leave from her acting job early in the morning and had Kim arrange the schedule

for her. She planned to accompany Catherine to Styre University in Loxton.

Ever since she knew that Catherine had been accepted to Styre University, Audrey couldn’t stop

smiling.

On the way, she kept talking to Catherine.

“Kathy, among our generation, you’re the smartest and the most talented in academics. If Grandpa

knew you got into Styre University, he’d be so thrilled!”

Catherine sat calmly and didn’t say a word. She thought inwardly, “Will Grandpa be happy just because

I get into Styre University?”

When she was seven and got into college, her grandfather had only given her a gift and didn’t seem

overly excited.

Instead, he boasted about the Swanns’ superior genes and claimed it was expected.

Back then, the young Catherine was full of defiance. She enjoyed challenging Vicente. So, she

immediately fired back.novelbin

She asked Vicente how the Swanns’ genes produced someone like Korbin.

Vicente was furious and shouted, “He had a genetic mutation. He can’t represent the Swanns’ level!”

Reflecting on those days, Catherine smiled slightly.

After a while, Audrey didn’t hear a response. She turned her head to look at Catherine.

When she saw the rare smile on Catherine’s face, Audrey was taken aback.

In the entertainment industry, Audrey was known for her stunning looks. However, when she noticed

Catherine’s radiant smile just now, Audrey realized what true beauty meant.

“Kathy, you’re so beautiful. When you smiled just now, my heart almost melted!”

Audrey wasn’t joking, and even Kim, who was beside them, was in awe when he saw Catherine.

Beauty was not just skin deep. The entertainment industry was filled with beautiful women.

Many of them were beautiful either by birth or through effort. However, many people’s beauty was only

skin deep. Natural beauties like Catherine were truly a rare find.

If Catherine were willing to enter the entertainment industry, she wouldn’t need to make much effort.

With her face alone, she could easily become a hot star and a leading influencer.

Sensing the intense gazes from the two of them, Catherine glanced down and then said softly, “I’m not

entering the entertainment industry. I won’t rely on my looks to make a living.”

Audrey pursed her lips and playfully fell into Kim’s arms.

“Kim, I feel deeply wounded. Some people are just born to be pampered by fate.”

Kim pushed her away and looked at her with disdain.

“Come on. Be content with what you have!”

Not only was Audrey born into a wealthy family and exceptionally beautiful, but most importantly, she

had a powerful sister like Catherine.

During their banter, Catherine’s phone suddenly rang.

Seeing her answer it and put it to her ear, Audrey and Kim stopped teasing each other and fell silent.

The caller was Branden. After Catherine answered the call, his deep, attractive voice came through. It

was distinctively tender.

“Are you on your way?”

“I’m in the car.”

Catherine gave a brief response. Originally, Branden had offered to drive her, but Audrey had already

taken leave, so she declined his offer.

She thought he had something important to say when he called, but he just warned her to be careful on

the road before hanging up.

After Catherine hung up the phone, Audrey finally dared to speak. She asked, “It was Mr. Duncan,

right?”

Catherine nodded slightly and didn’t say much.

However, Audrey wore a worried expression on her face. “Kathy, you’re going to study in Loxton, and

the Duncans are based in Casier. It’ll be a long-distance relationship. What are you going to do?”

Catherine found it strange that everyone seemed so concerned about this issue.

She thought inwardly, “Do couples have to be glued to each other to be considered together?

“If something doesn’t feel right, what good will chaining them together do?”

Catherine hadn’t wanted to answer such a trivial question, but when she saw Audrey’s worried

expression, she responded.

She said, “He will shift his work focus to Loxton later.”

Audrey paused for a moment and then finally understood.

“Kathy, are you saying Mr. Duncan will spend most of his time working in Loxton from now on?”

As the car came to a stop, Catherine didn’t bother to reply to Audrey. She pushed open the car door,

got out, and headed toward the airport.

Audrey turned to Kim and asked, “Did you understand?”

Kim couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her. “Are you really sisters, born from the same mother? How can

you be so different?”

With that, Kim left with a disdainful look on his face.

Audrey hurriedly followed him. As she questioned Kim, she lowered her voice to avoid attracting

attention.

“What did you say? You need to explain that to me!”

Due to Audrey’s status, they used a special boarding channel and sat in the VIP first-class cabin.

They didn’t have to wait long for the boarding process, and they smoothly took their seats on the plane.

After boarding, Audrey looked at Catherine with a polite expression.

“Kathy, it seems someone has purchased the seat next to you. But don’t worry. Once the other

passenger boards, I’ll ask to switch seats. I believe it should be possible.”

Catherine didn’t mind whether or not she sat next to Audrey. As long as her seatmate wasn’t too noisy,

she had no concerns.

Seeing Audrey’s insistence, Catherine gave a perfunctory nod.

As soon as Audrey left, Catherine leaned back, lowered her hat brim, and prepared to rest.

A few minutes later, she heard the sound of a heavy object settling in the neighboring seat.

Catherine knew the passenger in the adjacent seat had arrived. She furrowed her brow and continued

to rest. The plane began to taxi slowly, and the flight attendant in the first-class cabin initiated the

service.

“Sir, would you like a blanket?”

“She would like one.”

The familiar voice made Catherine instantly open her eyes.

She turned her head and found that the man beside her was Branden. Now Catherine finally

understood why he had been so quick to hang up the phone earlier. It turned out he had already

prepared for the journey.

This explained why Audrey had said there was no available ticket. It was because Branden had

purchased it in advance.

As the flight attendant observed the way Branden was looking at Catherine, she immediately

abandoned her previous thoughts.

She had initially thought Branden, sitting in the first-class, with his striking looks and powerful presence,

was a rare find. She had even considered making a move if the opportunity arose.

However, she could tell from how he looked at Catherine that she would never have a chance with him.

Branden accepted a blanket from the flight attendant and covered Catherine with it.

“Continue resting. I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”

Originally, he had arranged a private jet to take Catherine to Loxton, but Audrey had come along the

way.

He had no choice but to change his plan. He chose to take the same flight as Catherine to accompany

her.

Seeing that the cabin crew’s preparations were almost complete, Audrey decided to get up and ask for

a seat change. However, she was promptly pulled back by Kim.

Audrey looked at him in confusion. She was taught a lesson by Kim, who playfully poked her forehead.

“Can’t you pay a tad more attention and look at the person across from you?

Audrey finally glanced over and realized why Kim had prevented her from moving. It turned out that

Branden had arrived, and it was no wonder that Kim stopped her.
