All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 582 The Real Mastermind Edward’s sudden reaction surprised everyone.

The onlookers who were admiring Liana for gaining Edward's favor were now following his gaze forward.

Step by step, Edward walked up and stood in front of Catherine.

His initially stern expression softened as he saw Catherine.

It was only then that everyone noticed another stunning beauty standing there. She was even more beautiful than Liana.

Liana remained in place and felt extremely awkward. Despite her efforts to get close to Edward, she found herself outshone by Catherine.

She wondered what Catherine had that attracted everyone's attention.

When Edward saw Catherine, he couldn't contain his excitement. His voice raised a few notches higher involuntarily.

“Catherine, it's great to see you again. How did you end up here?” Catherine smiled faintly and replied softly, “Just accompanying my boyfriend. | heard you were here, so | cover.” After hearing that Catherine had a boyfriend, Edward was surprised. He then turned to look at Drake behind her.

“Catherine, is this handsman behind you your boyfriend?” This question made Drake tensed up.

Although he and Catherine weren't in that kind of relationship, he was willing to cooperate if Catherine needed him to.

Just as Drake was about to nod, Catherine responded, “No. My boyfriend had slast-minute business and was taken away by a business partner.” Edward apologetically glanced at Drake, and he was secretly relieved.

He couldn't believe Catherine would be with someone who seemed so immature. He was not a good match to the powerful aura she exuded.

Jaxton Clayton, seeing that Edward's attention was on Drake, walked up. Mr. Anderson, this is my son, Drake.” “So, he is Mr. Clayton's son. No wonder he is so handsome.” “Haha. My son inherited his mother’s looks.” Jaxton then turned his gaze to Catherine and asked, “By the way, Mr. Anderson, who is this?” “Mr. Clayton, letintroduce you!” Edward walked to Catherine’s side and said, “This is our foundation's trading advisor, Catherine Swann. Our foundation will seek her opinion for all of our major projects. She's truly a remarkable talent.” This revelation shocked everyone.

Everyone looked at Catherine in astonishment.

If Edward hadn't said it himself, no one would believe it.

They never expected a college girl to be the trading advisor behind a global capital operation.

Edward was the public face of the Skybow Group, and Catherine was the real mastermind behind the scenes at the Skybow Group. She was the one holding the true reins of power.

Just a moment ago, Liana was disdainful of Catherine and deemed that she had used means to attract Edward's attention. Now, she was stunned.

“How is that possible?” Liana couldn't help but exclaim loudly, “It's impossible!” Her voice was so loud that she attracted everyone's attention.

Edward looked at Liana in confusion. She seemed somewhat similar to Catherine but lacked Catherine's powerful aura.

“What do you mean?” Edward asked.

Liana rushed forward. “You must have been deceived by her. She's just a country girl who grew up in the countryside. How could she be the trading advisor of the Skybow Group? Mr. Anderson, you absolutely cannot be fooled by her!” She explained hurriedly.

The crowd looked at them in curiosity and broke out into chaos.

Jaxton quickly stepped forward. “Miss, you can’t just talk nonsense.” Liana would say anything to make everyone believe her and tarnish Catherine’s reputation.

“I'm not lying because she’s my sister!” There was a commotion in the crowd. No one expected things to escalate like this.

Zain and Drake looked at Liana in astonishment. They thought Liana and Catherine looked alike, but they never imagined they to be sisters.

Catherine sometimes thought Liana was foolish beyond the point of redemption.

Edward glanced at Catherine. Seeing her calm demeanor, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that if Catherine got upset, everyone at the event would suffer.

“Catherine, is she your sister?” Hearing Edward's question, Liana looked at Catherine with disdain. She wanted to see if Catherine would dare to lie in public.

Facing the question, Catherine coldly glanced at Liana and said with disdain, “Maybe blood-related, but there's no connection in terms of intelligence.” “Haha...” Drake couldn't help but laugh. He said, “Catherine, | think you have a point. There seems to be a significant IQ difference.” Not only Drake, but even Edward nodded in agreement.

“I'm just about to say that. Catherine, how can you, being so smart, have such a foolish sister? If | don’t even know who my company’s trading advisor is, | probably won't have the qualification to stand here today.” People realized that Edward spoke the truth. To mistake a stranger for a friend was common, but not recognizing one’s boss was ridiculous.

Liana stood still and looked stunned. She wasn’t stupid. She just refused to believe that Catherine could have the ability.

She was like a clown now, subject to public humiliation. She thought Catherine was indeed formidable. No wonder even her father couldn't defeat Catherine.

Liana stared at Catherine in confusion.

“Tell me. Why? You were sent to the countryside since childhood. Why are you so capable?” Seeing her look of desperation, Catherine decided to reveal a little.

“Who told you that being sent to the countryside would makeworthless? Remember that no matter what, | am the daughter of the Swanns family, the granddaughter of Grandpa. | have a better education than you since childhood.” Liana sat on the ground and stared at Catherine.

Under her mother’s influence, Liana thought Catherine was a jinx, an unwanted child abandoned in the countryside at a young age.

Liana lived in the Swanns family hand considered herself superior to Catherine.

She forgot that, as Catherine said, Catherine was the daughter of the Swanns family, her grandfather's granddaughter.

As the dominant figure in the family, her grandfather would never allow the Swanns’ daughter to be in such a miserable state.

Even if Catherine was sent to the countryside from a young age, she must have received private tutoring.

If Catherine had shown exceptional intelligence, she would have gained even more.

After looking around, Branden decided to approach the crowd. Then he spotted Catherine.

“Kathy!” A familiar voice caught Catherine's attention, and she turned to see Branden walking toward her.

She took the initiative to grab Branden’s hand and introduced him to Edward who was standing nearby.

“This is my boyfriend, Branden.” With that simple statement, many were stunned.

A number of them had hopes of approaching her initially.

Even Jaxton couldn't help but sigh. He thought Catherine was so outstanding that she was clearly out of his son’s league.

Drake stared at Branden. Without even having to compete, Drake knew he could not win.
