All Her Secrets by Chestnut

Chapter 285 Ronin’s Grievance

Audrey got out of the car halfway. She just couldn’t bear the intense romantic atmosphere inside. Actually, both Catherine and Branden remained silent. They were occupied with their own things.

But that feeling was something else. Branden drove the car while Catherine played games on her phone the whole time.

As the car stopped at a red light, Branden reached over and adjusted the button to recline Catherine’s seat. Catherine, who had been engrossed in her game, suddenly leaned back. She shifted her gaze from her phone to Branden.

She coldly stared at Branden with a hint of confusion. Branden gently looked at her with his sparkling eyes.

“Kathy, give your eyes a break, and I’ll wake you up when we’re there.”

Playing on the phone in the car could seriously strain the eyes. Although Branden was driving, he noticed that Catherine had been on her phone for at least half an hour.

So he asked her to take a break and rest her eyes. After understanding his intention, Catherine obediently turned off her phone and leaned back. She was completely unconcerned about the fate of her in-game characters.

“Wake me up when we’re there.”

“Okay.” Branden’s voice was incredibly tender. The car was moving unusually slowly, which was quite unexpected given its exceptional performance.

As Catherine woke up, the car had just reached the entrance of the residential complex. It was just heading to the underground garage. The moment Catherine woke up, Branden noticed and glanced at her from the corner of his eye.

Catherine leaned her hand against the window and tilted her head. She casually observed Branden without saying a word.

Branden had been driving attentively. Suddenly, he remembered a video Triston had shared in their WhatsApp group earlier in the afternoon. It was a small group with him, Triston, Aidan, and a few other friends they often hung out with.

After posting the video, Triston even mentioned everyone in the group. He just wanted to ensure everyone could see his one-handed steering wheel skills. He claimed that being able to drive with one hand was the latest trend. It was really impressive.

Branden had initially thought it was a boring stunt and it was something only Triston would take seriously. But to his surprise, everyone in the group agreed with Triston.

After Catherine woke up, Branden quietly switched to one-handed driving. Catherine propped her chin up and idly looked around. She paused as she looked at Branden’s fingers, which rested on the steering wheel.

Once the car stopped and the door automatically opened, Catherine finally diverted her gaze. As she got out of the car, she suddenly said to Branden, “Your fingers are quite good-looking.”

Branden was momentarily taken aback. Then he smiled slightly. He deliberately lowered his voice and leaned in slightly. Then he asked, “Do you like them?”

Without hesitation, Catherine gave a simple and assertive reply.

“Yes.” Then she walked away confidently. Watching Catherine leave, Branden smiled brightly.

Some of Triston’s tricks and antics seemed to have their uses sometimes. At the same time, Korbin was in the Swanns’ study.

Korbin returned home unusually early today. His posture remained almost unchanged from the moment he walked in until now. When he heard a knock on the door, he slowly extinguished the cigar in his hand.

“Come in.”

After Korbin’s personal secretary received the command, he gently pushed the door open and entered the room.

“Mr. Swann, there’s something new.”

Korbin furrowed his brow and coldly uttered a word. He said, “Speak!”

Just half an hour ago, Korbin received a call from Rachael. She informed him that Catherine appeared unharmed at the Langs’ and gave the Langs a good scolding.

Catherine even used her position as the chairperson of the Swann Corporation to threaten the Langs. Korbin never expected that his meticulously planned scheme would have a loophole.

He immediately dispatched someone to investigate. He wanted to find out what kind of force was behind Catherine. She escaped successfully under his design. The secretary lowered his head. His expression showed clearly how troubled he was at the moment.

Korbin urged him impatiently, which caused the secretary to shiver. “Mr. Swann, we’ve located Jacky. He is at the Hopkin Hospital in Casier. He’s injured quite seriously. Luckily, a passerby found him and rushed him to the hospital or he might be dead now!!
