All Her Secrets

Korbin had been aware of Johnathan’s presence at the Swann Corporation from the moment. he stepped in. He knew his son had a volatile temper. However, with everything he had been dealing with since his father’s passing, he had no time to pay attention to Johnathan.

Despite hearing rumors about the brat’s behavior, he couldn’t be bothered by it. He believed Johnathan’s visit would cause trouble for Catherine and put her in her place.

Little did he expect to hear about the beating. The news shocked him, and he found it hard to believe. He knew Catherine was bold, but would she seriously dare to beat Johnathan in the company publicly?

He dropped everything and rushed to Catherine’s office, only to be met with a scene that left him astounded.

Catherine had indeed beaten Johnathan and had not held back.

Even in his presence, Catherine’s expression remained cold and unchanged, showing no signs of emotion.

In Korbin’s eyes, her behavior was deeply disrespectful towards him.

Catherine had crossed a line, and he felt compelled to teach her a lesson and assert hist authority.

Korbin’s cold gaze fixated on Catherine as he emitted an intimidating aura that sent shivers. down everyone’s spines.

“Catherine, why did you beat Johnathan?”

Facing Korbin’s anger, Catherine maintained her calm composure as she responded coldly and emotionlessly, “He asked me to do it, and I granted his wish.”

The bystanders struggled to contain their laughter at Catherine’s blunt response.

Catherine raised an eyebrow and glanced at Leonel, who understood her intention and stepped. forward to testify on her behalf. “That’s correct, Mr. Johnathan requested Miss Swann to whip him. I witnessed the entire incident.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Not only did Leonel testify, but he also involved Linda.

“Linda can confirm this too!”

Linda stared at Leonel. “Humph, this cunning old fox wants to drag me into this drama,” she thought.

However, she spoke up, as she found Johnathan extremely annoying.

“Yes, Mr. Swann. It’s true that he asked Miss Swann to whip him. I can vouch for that.”

Korbin looked at the two skeptically and sized them up.

It was already disconcerting enough that Leonel was supporting Catherine, but now even Linda was aligning herself with her?

Korbin had attempted to win Linda over with various incentives, but she had always refused.

Now, she openly sided with Catherine in front of everyone. It seemed like a declaration of loyalty.

Korbin’s expression grew increasingly sour as he realized he may have underestimated Catherine in the past. If he didn’t handle her properly now, she could become a problem in the future.

He intended to seize this opportunity to put Catherine in her place.

“Catherine, even if Johnathan said some foolish things, he is still your brother. Don’t you have an ounce of familial love? When he asked you to whip him, it was meant as a joke. How could you go so far as to

batter him like this? As the leader of the Swann Corporation, shouldn’t you possess even a shred of compassion?”

That was a serious accusation by Korbin.

Despite the gravity of the accusation, Catherine regarded Korbin with cold indifference, lacking any respect for him.

“Because he is my family, that was why I hit him. Otherwise, the consequences would have been much harsher.”

Korbin’s face turned red with anger as he glared at her, his eyes widening in disbelief.

“Tell me, what did he do to deserve such a severe beating from you? If it was about the one- million- dollar advance he took, you could have informed your mother or even me. Do you think we are incapable of teaching our son?”

“What if he jeopardized the company’s interests?” Catherine responded coldly, her gaze piercing into Korbin. “There are rules, Mr. Swann. If an employee of the Swann Corporation. damages the company’s interests, should we send them home and ask their parents to educate them?”

Korbin’s face grew increasingly gloomy as he stared at her. “Catherine, do you have evidence? Johnathan isn’t even an employee of the Swann Corporation. What makes you think he poses a threat to the company?”

Upon hearing Korbin’s doubts, Catherine turned around, opened her computer, printed a document, and handed it to him.

Suspicion clouded Korbin’s expression as he cautiously took the document, quickly scanning its contents.

The document comprised several pages, and as Korbin’s eyes skimmed through the first page, shock washed over his face, soon replaced by anger.

Observing Korbin’s reaction, Catherine understood what was going through his mind.

Even if Korbin had been present in the office today, she had no intentions of holding back when it came to Johnathan.

She spoke coldly, “Mr. Swann, Johnathan came to my office and demanded that I reinstate hist uncle’s position in the company. To prevent any future implications, accusations of collusion, or corruption involving him and Johnathan, I had no choice but to act as I did.”

Korbin stared at Catherine, his grip on the documents growing tighter. The excessive force. turned his fingertips white.

These documents provided evidence of the corruption committed by Johnathan’s uncle, Bruce Lang.

Only a few could resist the temptation of embezzling money in the position of finance manager. However, Korbin hadn’t expected Bruce to have the audacity to embezzle such a substantial amount for personal gain.

Furthermore, one incident occurred right after Johnathan took away the one million dollars.

If this information were to be leaked, Bruce would be ruined, and even Johnathan would be implicated.

Despite his shortcomings, Johnathan was Korbin’s only son.

He could only blame Bruce, the fool, for failing to cover his tracks and getting caught.

Consequently, Johnathan had been beaten, and now he had to thank Catherine for it.

Korbin’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Catherine, nodding in agreement and altering his tone. “You’re right. He deserved to be beaten. As his older sister, it’s your right to do so. You’re siblings, and you should take care of Johnathan. If he doesn’t learn his lesson this time, I’ll break his legs when we get home.”

Johnathan thought his father had come to support him, but little did he know that Korbin would utter such words. The flicker of hope that had just ignited was instantly extinguished. Gasping for breath, Johnathan fainted once more, unable to bear the pain.

Catherine quickly grasped that Korbin was openly and subtly reminding her of their blood relationship, as he feared she might take legal action against Johnathan.

Haha! How pathetic!

If she were to take action, would Johnathan even still be standing?

She had made a promise to her grandfather not to harm anyone from the Swanns unless absolutely necessary, and she intended to keep her word.

Her gaze slowly fell upon Korbin, and a mysterious smile curled on her lips. “Father, in that case, please handle the matter concerning Bruce.”

By addressing him as “father,” Catherine implied that the issue with Bruce could be resolved. privately. As long as Korbin provided her with a satisfactory solution, she wouldn’t harm Johnathan.

Despite his anger, Korbin had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure the situation.

“Alright, leave it to me, but I’m afraid I have to leave now!” he grumbled, turning his head with an irritated expression.

He then scolded his assistant in a low voice, “Take Mr. Johnathan out of here!”

The assistant promptly followed orders, dragging the injured and unconscious Johnathan. along as they exited the office, with Korbin in tow.

Linda and the others realized it was time to return to work now that the main characters had departed.

However, amidst the chaotic Swann family drama, Linda had the opportunity to witness. Catherine’s capabilities.

It became clear that Vicente had chosen someone truly extraordinary.

Before leaving, Linda unexpectedly turned around and respectfully bowed to Catherine. “Miss. Swann, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything!” she offered.

Leonel couldn’t contain his excitement as he looked at Catherine. Within half a day of joining the company, she had managed to win over Linda, the most challenging employee at Swann Corporation. Catherine truly lived up to her reputation.

It was clear that she was destined to lead the Swann Corporation.
