All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 307 Pleasing Your Stomach

After Catherine Swann, accompanied by Branden Duncan, had completely disappeared from the Swanns, Korbin slowly came to his senses.

At this moment, what echoed in Korbin’s mind was the sentence Branden had said before leaving and the terrifying look in his eyes.

He held his hand up in mid-air, looking somewhat awkward to maintain his balance. The Swanns’ butler, Ezra Noah, rushed forward to assist him and helped him sit down slowly.

“Mr. Swann, are you alright?” Ezra asked with concern. Korbin’s gaze wandered, and he shook his head slowly.

He hadn’t expected that Catherine would find such a formidable ally to support her. His attitude and demeanor just now had been truly startling.

He couldn’t help muttering to himself, “How did she manage to find such a powerful person to back her up?”

Ezra shook his head silently and felt somewhat helpless as he watched Korbin’s attitude. He had worked for the Swanns for the majority of his life, and his relationship with Korbin was extraordinary. In fact, he was a few years older than Korbin.

He genuinely didn’t want to see the Swanns divided. From his observations during this period, he realized that Catherine wasn’t an ordinary person.

Sometimes, the person directly involved might not see things as clearly as an outsider, which was clearly Korbin’s situation.

“Mr. Swann, this might not necessarily be a bad thing. After all, Miss Catherine is your daughter. Which daughter wouldn’t help her father? In fact, the Duncans are one of the most powerful families in Casier, with immense influence and immeasurable strength!

“Which family wouldn’t want to establish such a marriage alliance? Miss Catherine has this opportunity now. Shouldn’t you be happy?” said Ezra.

If the Swanns used the marriage alliance with the Duncans wisely, they could undoubtedly elevate their status. Korbin squinted his eyes and felt somewhat irritated when he thought of Catherine’s attitude just now.

“That troublesome girl, she hasn’t infuriated me enough already, and now she’s helping me? How is that even possible?” said Korbin. Ezra cautiously said, “Mr. Swann, if you’ll permit me to speak freely. Please don’t take offense.”
