All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 147 Continue to Investigate

Catherine’s sneering eyes were clearly calm. To Liana, they were like two sharp blades scraping down

hard on her face, hurting her to the core.

She lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Catherine’s eyes. Catherine’s eyes, as bright as

amber, fixed on Liana as if they could see right through her.

Liana didn’t believe that Catherine knew anything about rhythm. It was most likely that Ronin had

secretly told her about it. Liana clenched her teeth and made her decision.

When Catherine looked up again, she found that Liana had adjusted herself and was looking at her

with a fierce look. But what was the use of being fierce? After all, Catherine was no match for her.

Liana’s gaze was fixed on Catherine. ” Cut the crap, Catherine. If you dare to go up to play a song and

gain everyone’s favor, then you’ll win.”

Liana was sure that Catherine wouldn’t dare to go up because of her guilty conscience. Ronin had long

been tired of tolerating Liana. Compared to Audrey, Liana, also a daughter of the Swanns, was simply

a troublemaker.

“Liana, what do you think you are? On what basis do you think Catherine has to do what you suggest?”

Ronin shouted. Even if Ronin did not say that, Catherine wasn’t going to do so. She had always done

things as she pleased. She had never listened to the command of others. Her stay there would only

make Liana more arrogant, so why should she give her this chance?

Seeing Catherine about to leave, Liana shouted, “Catherine, are you afraid of losing? In fact, you don’t

know anything about music, and your words are all nonsense, right? You can leave as long as you

admit that you know nothing about music!”

Looking at Liana’s smug face, like she was winning, Catherine suddenly felt pity for her. “Liana, you’ve

forgotten why you first pursued music because of your desire to win. It’s really pathetic.”

Liana was taken aback by Catherine’s words. However, to embarrass Catherine in front of the crowd,

she had no other choice but to insist at this point.

“Catherine, stop pretending. Do you think everything is going to be fine just by putting up a high profile?

Since you said I played it wrong, go up there and play it again.”

The two were at each other’s throats when a boy with a hat sitting at the far corner suddenly stood up.

“She’s right. You just played it wrong,’ the boy said. His voice was not loud, but everyone present could

hear it clearly.

“As someone who practiced the piano since childhood, you don’t even dare to admit that you played it

wrong. You are indeed pathetic.”

Catherine looked in the direction of the person who spoke and saw that it was a young teenager with a

fresh appearance. His most impressive feature was his eye-catching fair skin, which was almost as if it

was transparent. Even the capillaries underneath the skin could be seen clearly.

Liana, with her back to him, didn’t know who was talking, but the other party’s words had already

annoyed her. Subconsciously, she wanted to teach the other party a lesson and blurted out, “Who is it?

How dare you say that? Do you know anything about music…”

Her reproachful words were silenced the moment she turned around and saw the other party. She

recognized who he was. She didn’t expect the always-aloof Terry to suddenly get involved in this

argument.

Terry shot a cold glare at Liana. “I don’t know anything about music? Liana, how dare you. That girl is

right. You’re really pathetic if you don’t even have the guts to admit that you’re wrong.”

Looking at Liana’s defeated expression, as if she had been poured cold water, Ronin felt an

inexplicable sense of comfort in his heart. “Who’s this guy? He’s so awesome. Why doesn’t anyone

refute his claims?”

It was not long since he came to the school, so not knowing about the school’s affairs was normal.

Hearing Ronin’s doubts, Bryan took the initiative to explain, “This person is Terry Hanke, our school’s

renowned musical genius. He is already a high- quality student. The world’s top music schools are

clamoring for him even before the exams start.”

Everyone in the school knew that there was a male musical genius called Terry and a female Liana, but

those who knew about music understood that Liana was no match for Terry.

But this was an average full-time school, not a music academy. Only a few girls excelled in music,

which gave Liana the chance to be on par with Terry.

Everyone in the school was aware of Terry’s position in music. He never socialized with anyone and

kept a low profile as if he were invisible, but his musical talent was there for all to see.

Therefore, no one questioned what he said because no one present had as much seniority as Terry,

even though they knew music.

Ronin excitedly replied, every word full of extreme sarcasm toward Liana,” Liana, you see it? Is it that

Catherine can’t do it? It’s only because you don’t deserve it, you know?

“Catherine is kind and doesn’t want to embarrass you, but you’re making a fool of yourself.”

Terry’s words were like a bucket of cold water thrown in Liana’s face. In comparison, Ronin’s words

added fuel to the fire and hurt her to the bone. Liana couldn’t take it anymore and fled in a panic, too

ashamed to stay in the music room.

Catherine didn’t bother to argue. She had wanted to leave long ago and would have done so if Liana

hadn’t stopped her. Liana came back crying, giving Korbin a headache.

It took a while to calm Liana down and send her away. Korbin leaned back in his leather chair and

rested, his face full of exhaustion. The assistant pushed the door in and greeted Korbin respectfully,

“Mr. Swann…”

Hearing the sound, Korbin looked at the assistant with slightly narrowed eyes. “How is the investigation

going?”

“Mr. Swann, we found out that Catherine has been in close contact with the Duncans recently. As for

things related to Catherine in the countryside, they should have been erased by Vicente. We can’t find

something useful.”

Korbin couldn’t figure out what Branden saw in Catherine that made him willing to get involved with her.

Although young, Branden was exceptionally powerful and famous in the business world.

Ordinary people dared not provoke him. Because of his status and position in the business circle,

numerous girls wanted to throw themselves at him. However, he took no fancy to any girl and instead

got close to Catherine.

Korbin thought very highly of Branden. If Branden had a crush on Liana, that would be a bonus. If not, it

would be fine for him to fall in love with Audrey. However, he chose Catherine, the most disobedient

jinx of all.

Korbin’s head hurt just thinking about it. These days, although Catherine did not make a move, she

was the chairperson of the Swann Corporation.

Because of this matter, he didn’t know how many times he had been laughed at. Inside, he blamed

Vicente for leaving this mess for him to clean up after dying. Fortunately, the time left for the bet was

limited. He had endured 10 years.

In a few days, it wouldn’t be a big problem. When the time came, he would kick that jinx out of the

board of directors and throw her to the countryside to fend for herself.

Korbin’s eyes flashed a fierce look as he looked toward his assistant. “Continue to investigate.”
