All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 264 Change Her Mind

It had been a while since Catherine had spoken. In Ronin’s mind, this pretty much confirmed Catherine’s refusal to participate in the upcoming national art competition. But then, to everyone’s surprise, Catherine suddenly spoke up.

“Does anyone know how long this competition will last?” she inquired. Both Ronin and Bryan were taken aback, especially Ronin.

However, Bryan knew more about the competition, so Ronin didn’t reply, and Bryan responded to Catherine.

“Boss, the competition consists of preliminaries, semi-finals, and the grand finals. It’ll take about a month. They’ve streamlined the competition this year, and there’s a rule that the top three in the preliminaries can bypass the semi-finals and go straight to the grand finals.”

The competition wasn’t an everyday affair. To accommodate student participants, it was scheduled on weekends to accommodate student participants, except for the special grand finals.

Bryan handed the competition schedule to Catherine. Coincidentally, the reality show that Audrey was part of had to make a substitution due to her injury, which gave Catherine time to participate on the weekends.

After calculating the timing, in front of Ronin and Bryan, Catherine made her decision. “Arrange everything. We’re participating in the competition.”

Bryan and Ronin exchanged glances in surprise. They wondered why Catherine had suddenly changed her mind. Catherine leaned back in her chair. With her arms crossed, she glanced at the two of them. “Any problems?”

They both shook their heads in unison. “No problem, Boss. We’ll follow your lead.”

Bryan had never been interested in these things but hadn’t had much fun at the celebration gala. If it meant cooperating with Catherine and the others again, he was more than willing.

As for Ronin, he always followed Catherine’s orders without question. If Catherine wanted to participate, he would participate. It was as simple as that.

In Ronin’s view, Obedience to Catherine was above all else. By the afternoon, news of Catherine and their group’s participation in the competition had spread throughout Class 8.

David and the others were so excited that they banged on their desks and cheered. “Catherine, Bryan, you can count on us. When the time comes, we’ll cheer you on with all our might!” David exclaimed.

George, who was standing by, looked at them and chuckled. He said, “Our class is truly honored this time. There are only three slots for the whole school, and we have two!” Ronin turned his head and glanced at George. “Two?”

“Yeah. One of them is Liana. The sisters from the Swanns are exceptional, and each one is better than the other,” George explained. As George was speaking, Liana happened to pass by.

The somewhat clueless George stopped Liana and stared at her warmly. “Liana, Catherine agreed to participate in the competition, so our chances of winning just got better, don’t you think?”

When Catherine heard Liana’s name, she glanced up and saw Liana standing there with a forced smile next to George. Liana appeared calm but was actually on the brink of exploding with anger. It amused Catherine.

Liana had endured a lot over the years to maintain the image of a high-born young lady. Liana’s patience was truly remarkable.

Before passing by this spot, Liana had already heard the news. She remembered that Catherine had initially refused to participate, and now Catherine had changed her mind. She thought inwardly, “Does this jinx want to hog the limelight?

“She is born to oppose me. She is such an infuriating jinx. “As for the damn George, why does he embarrass me like this?”

Liana was seething inside but had to maintain a gentle and composed demeanor. She looked at Catherine and casually asked, “Catherine, I heard you declined to join the national competition last time. You claimed you weren’t interested. Why the sudden change? Is it because you discovered this competition will be broadcast globally, and you want more people to know you?”

She was trying to convey that Catherine was flip-flopping for fame.

Catherine agreed to participate because our homeroom teacher enthusiastically invited her. When I was in the office earlier, our homeroom teacher said she had finally convinced Catherine. She’s delighted that Catherine is representing our class in the
