All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 507 I’m Here to Support Her

Jada’s words made everyone look at Catherine with increasing disdain. Compared to the powerful and

influential Jada Facer, Catherine, a woman of unknown origin, naturally became the target of criticism.

The crowd supported Jada and despised Catherine. However, Catherine’s gaze fell on Baron, and with

just a glance, she recognized him.

“Code 021?”

Baron nodded. He had seen Catherine once on the battlefield when she was their team’s highest

commander, leading them in a borderless rescue mission.

Catherine was a woman with a petite figure. How could these brave and skilled mercenaries possibly

take orders from her?

But in the end, Catherine proved herself with her formidable strength. She made everyone willingly

obey her commands, establishing herself as the most powerful candidate for commander.

Not to mention just Baron alone, even if there were ten more, they would be no match for Catherine.

Offending Jada would, at most, result in financial compensation and some physical discomfort, but

offending Catherine meant torture that was more unbearable than death.

Baron wasn’t stupid, so naturally, he made a wise choice.

The commotion in the banquet hall alerted Karl and Branden. Branden rushed over as soon as he

heard that something happened to Catherine, standing by her side.



Accompanying Karl was Conor. As soon as he appeared, without Jada saying anything, the people

nearby immediately came forward to complain on her behalf.

“Mr. Facer, this girl appeared out of nowhere and attacked Miss Facer. Even this bodyguard is on her

side!”

Conor glanced at his granddaughter. When he saw her embarrassed appearance, his expression

darkened. He then turned his gaze to Catherine.

Catherine calmly sat by the side, exuding a faint aura of dominance.

Conor couldn’t discern any emotions from her face. It was quite rare for a young girl to possess such

composure and calmness.

Standing beside Catherine was Branden. Although the Duncans didn’t reside in Loxton, Conor had

heard quite a bit about Karl’s grandson. He had seen Branden a few times. When had he ever seen

Branden act so intimately with a woman?

Even the Duncans themselves might not receive much attention from Branden. Now, in public, he was

being so close to a girl. Could it be that…

Conor furrowed his brows. He originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity, where his old

friend personally attended his birthday celebration, to discuss the engagement between Jada and

Branden.

However, something unexpected happened.

Considering Branden’s attitude toward Catherine, Conor didn’t directly confront her but instead first

asked for clarification.

“Miss, is there some misunderstanding? Why did you attack my granddaughter?”



Catherine nonchalantly set down her phone and looked up at Conor, giving a nonchalant response.

“She was too noisy!”

This comment was even more embarrassing than the last one of Catherine’s. Jada couldn’t control her

anger any longer and rushed in front of Branden. She was well aware that without Branden’s support,

this woman wouldn’t dare to be so arrogant.

“Mr. Duncan, have you seen how arrogant her attitude is? She completely disregards everyone. Are

you going to let her tarnish your reputation?”

Upon hearing Jada’s accusations, the people around couldn’t help but come forward in support.

“What a shameless woman!”

“How could she be so rude?”

“She has no manners at all. How did such a person infiltrate our circle?”

Several women took turns criticizing Catherine, belittling her to the point of worthlessness.

After receiving support from the crowd, Jada became even more arrogant and once again questioned

Branden, “Mr. Duncan, this woman not only tarnished your reputation but also brought everyone’s

discontent. Shouldn’t you say something to ensure justice?”

“Humph…” Branden sneered coldly, his voice extremely gloomy. “Ensure justice?”

Seeing his expression, Jada couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. But she still refused to back

down. She was sure that if Catherine admitted to her wrongdoing, Branden would stop protecting

Catherine immediately.

“Mr. Duncan, I implore you to ensure justice!”



Branden’s face grew colder, and his eyes grew darker. He placed his hand on Catherine’s waist, pulling

her closer to him, and said in an overbearing tone, “I’m here to support her, not to ensure justice!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the girls who had just slandered Catherine changed

drastically, their eyes filled with panic.

As Branden’s face grew darker, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became thick with tension.

All eyes were focused on Jada. The Facers were the most powerful family and the only one capable of

resisting the Duncans.

Jada immediately realized that something was wrong. She turned to her grandfather for help.

“Grandpa, look at Branden. He’s completely infatuated with this woman!

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Conor reprimanded Jada.

Given their respective positions, Conor wouldn’t compete with Branden. He turned around and began

conversing with Karl, who was standing behind him.

“Karl, who is this young lady?”

Conor, in his younger days, was a prominent figure with exceptional skills and a keen mind.

Since Branden dared to defend Catherine so firmly in public, aside from Branden’s own power, there

might be a connection with Karl.

Karl had initially planned to be a bystander and watch his grandson play the hero. Unexpectedly, Conor

suddenly questioned him, leaving him with no choice but to respond.



He smiled at Conor, pointed at Catherine, and had a somewhat proud expression on his face.

“Conor, she looks amazing, huh? She’s my future granddaughter-in-law, Catherine!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked. They had originally thought that

Karl didn’t like Catherine. However, not only was Karl’s attitude towards her favorable, but he also

openly acknowledged her identity.

Even Conor was momentarily stunned. However, he quickly regained his composure and calmly

congratulated Karl.

“Congratulations, you are truly lucky, Karl. Branden gets engaged at such a young age, which is

enviable!”

On the surface, he was congratulating Karl, but in fact, he was reminding Karl that Branden didn’t

require an early public engagement based on Branden’s age and status.

After hearing this, Karl burst into laughter.

“It’s about time. I’ve been looking forward to it for over a decade. Once Cassie graduates from college,

I will arrange for them to get married. And then, I’ll have fulfilled Vicente’s wishes! Let me tell you

something, Conor. Cassie is Vicente’s granddaughter. She was betrothed to my grandson, Branden, at

a young age!

Everyone had initially thought that Catherine was an insignificant girl with no status, but it turned out

that she was the daughter of the Swanns and had been betrothed to Branden since childhood.

The people who had mocked Catherine earlier were now in a panic.
