All Her Secrets By Chestnut

career.

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

heard Audrey’s words.

But Audrey thought it understandable. Catherine would not stay in the entertainment industry. She only

joined 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 had

time, 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 the party earlier and meet you here. Then, we can go home. Don’t worry about me. Kim will pick

me up and go 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 the

entertainment 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 not

want 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 investor

who arrived, but it turned out to be Bobby Cooper.

The producer knew Bobby. They had dealt with each other. Seeing Bobby’s darkened look, the

producer 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, while

you’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 good

connections in the industry.”

Audrey changed color slightly and realized that trouble had come. She was only glad that Catherine

was 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.

“I

The investor might arrive at any minute. Peter aid not want to get into any trouDie.

Bobby refused to let it go. He turned Peter down with a cold face. “It’s not that I don’t want to drink with

you. 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 to

apologize to my daughter. Then, we can still be friends, and I’ll do everything to help you next time you

need 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 offend

him.

Kim put on his standard smile and walked to Bobby with a glass of wine, “Mr. Cooper, I’m Audrey’s

agent. I knew her well. She would never harm anyone. This must be a

misunderstanding. Please don’t be 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 at

Kim, 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 at

Bobby, “How could you do that? It was your daughter who started that fight. It’s unfair that you blame

the 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 and

said, “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.
