All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 303 Gave Up

Korbin understood what Paxton meant for sure. Paxton might only be Branden’s assistant. However,

what he said represented Branden’s intention.

Korbin did not speak up soon and looked at Rachael instead. He wanted her to settle this matter.

Rachael panicked. She did not expect this matter to be so serious.

Being imprisoned for ten years would mean her son’s life would be doomed. She would never let that

happen. Under her husband’s instigation, she decided to beg Branden for mercy.

The only person who could turn the table was Branden. She put down her arrogance and looked at

Branden with a smile.

“Mr. Duncan, I think this must be a misunderstanding.”

It was again the same old sentence. Branden did not even look at her. Feeling awkward, Racheal

decided to punish her son. She turned around and slapped Johnathan. It was a loud slap as if she was

trying to prove something.

Johnathan was dumbfounded again. This was the first time his mother had slapped him in his life.

Rachael gritted her teeth and said, ” Brat, be honest! Do you want to be taken away by the police?”

Johnathan lifted his head and looked at his mother. He noticed his mother trying to beckon him to go

with her flow. He covered his face and cried, “Mom, I didn’t do it! I wouldn’t dare!”

He wanted to deny it, but Paxton did not give him another chance. Paxton took out a new piece of

evidence and said, “Mr. Swann, Mrs. Swann. this is the transaction history of Mr. Johnathan

transferring money to one of the culprits.”

When Paxton showed them the evidence, Rachael fell to the ground, and Korbin’s expression turned

gloomy. They finally understood that Branden did not go over to ask questions. He was there to seek

revenge.

From Paxton’s attitude, they could see Branden had all the evidence needed and was waiting for them

to admit it.

Since that was the case, Rachael could only make her son admit it and minimize the damage caused

to their family. Johnathan had never expected the Duncans to have so much evidence and wanted him

to go to prison.

He shoved off his mother’s hand and roared, “Mom, are you a fool not to notice Catherine is here to

seek revenge? I have never arranged for anyone to murder Branden. My target had always only been

Catherine!”

Branden snorted and opened his eyes. He squinted his eyes and looked at them. His oppressive

temperament was like the dark clouds before the storm. It was depressing to look at him. He looked

sinister and cold.

“Looks like you have admitted you paid someone to carry out a murder for you Mr. Johnathan?”

Then, he lifted his eyebrows and looked at Johnathan meaningfully. His gaze looked mysterious,

challenging anyone to decipher its intent. Since things turned out like this, Johnathan gave up.

“Yes. I planned this, but I never wanted to kill you. My target is that jinx, Catherine!”

Johnathan had always been ruthless and would never even listen to his parents. From the beginning to

the end, he had reflected on his mistake.

He felt embarrassed as he had been slapped by his parents and humiliated before so many outsiders

and the woman he hated the most.

“What have I done wrong? Catherine was the one who wanted me dead. I was getting back at her.”

Johnathan did not expect it to be such a coincidence that Branden happened to be with Catherine. The

men Dayton employed were thugs and would not recognize Branden.

If he knew Branden would also be there, he would never have arranged for them to attack Catherine.

No one would dare to offend Branden in Casier. He was not a fool. Why would he do something like

that?

Catherine happened to end her first round of games and heard Johnathan screaming through her silent

earphones.

She did not like explaining but would not let anyone accuse her either. She knew what Johnathan

meant by saying that.

Catherine took off her earphones and lifted her head to look at Johnathan. Her calm and cold

expression scared him a little.

Evan Johnathan did not know why he would feel fear when Catherine looked at him like that. It was

natural for him to be afraid when Branden glared at him.

Branden was a reputable man, and he had always had a domineering temperament. Meanwhile,

Catherine was nothing to him.

Putting her phone aside, Catherine felt uncomfortable sitting like that. She adjusted her position and

leaned against Branden’s shoulder, making him her bolster.

After adjusting her position, she spoke in her usual lazy tone as she glanced at everyone casually, not

taking anyone there seriously.

“It has nothing to do with me. You are a fool to believe in what others tell you and have been made

used by them. Don’t you realize that?”

Johnathan heard Catherine’s words and was pissed off. “How could that have nothing to do with you?

You did that. Catherine, do you think you could get away with it? You are such a coward for refusing to

admit what you have done! What a shame!”

Catherine scoffed as she looked at Johnathan. “I don’t need your praise. Johnathan, who do you think

you are to condemn me?

“You can report it to the police if you have evidence.”

Johnathan thought of something and quickly tugged his father’s trousers. “Dad, show them the

evidence you found. We can report it to the police and make them arrest this jinx.”

Johnathan had been a fool all this while. To him, he thought everything would be settled with Catherine

being arrested.

To keep herself safe, Catherine would have to let go of him. Then, he could get back at Catherine after

everything was over. Korbin was speechless by his son’s foolishness.

He could not understand why his son was such an idiot. He had indeed investigated that someone had

done something to Johnathan’s car, causing the accident.

But he had no proof that it had anything to do with Catherine. He would never let Catherine off if he had

the evidence.

With Korbin’s character, he would have already reported to the police and gotten Catherine arrested

long ago. It would help him eliminate this jinx and have the Swann Corporation to himself.

With Johnathan causing this trouble, they had not only alarmed Catherine but also given her an

opportunity to get back at them.

Catherine brought Branden to their place just to get Johnathan arrested. Johnathan was a fool and had

offended Branden. In Casier, no one would dare to provoke Branden. Korbin had no choice but to

speak and try to turn the table to save his son.

“Johnathan, what nonsense are you talking about? How could you think of your sister like that and be

blinded by other’s instigation? How could you even try to murder your sister? You disappoint me!

“Don’t ever say you are my son!”
