All Her Secrets Chapter 991 by Chestnut

Chapter 991 Torturing

At the Duncans’ dungeon, Zobber finally got Karl’s permission to enter here safely after sucking up to him for days.

Zobber was totally impressed by the dungeon, which looked like it was made of iron.

She thought Hacker Alliance was mysterious enough, but it turned out Karl was even more badass.

Everyone thought that the Duncans’ roots were in Casier, so they wouldn’t have much influence when they first arrived in Loxton. But to everyone’s surprise, Karl had such an influential background here in Loxton.

Zobber wasn’t in a rush to meet Selene. She looked around carefully and studied for a while. “Paxton, Karl is quite something. That was truly impressive to have such a huge dungeon hidden in the bustling Loxton.

Paxton gave a somewhat arrogant smile and said, “Have you ever thought about how distinguished Karl was back in the day? This is nothing. Do you want to meet her or not? If not, I have other work to attend to.”

These days, the Duncans were busy preparing for Branden’s upcoming wedding. As the assistant to the Duncans, he was so busy that he didn’t even have time to sleep.

It was such a joyous occasion that he naturally had to make every effort. He had even fought hard to seize many opportunities.

If it weren’t for Karl’s orders and Zobber specifically requested his presence, he wouldn’t be wasting time here.

Zobber suddenly lost all interest and gave Paxton a displeased look. “Hmph. What’s so great about it? I’ll come with Catherine next time.”

Paxton was so angry that he wanted to grab Zobber, hang her upside down, and spank her. ‘This girl was really infuriating,’ he thought.

They walked to the bottom floor of the dungeon, where the most heinous criminals were held.

However, there was someone special.

Through the small window, Zobber saw a figure curled up in the corner inside. For just a few days, she had completely lost her charm from before.

Paxton asked Zobber for her opinion, then opened the cage.

Hearing some commotion, Selene slowly lifted her head from the ground.

Yep, the person detained here was Selene.

Everyone thought she had run away and disappeared, but no one knew Karl had already taken her away.

Karl locked her up in the dungeon of the Duncans, waiting for Catherine to finish up and then decide her fate.

At first, Selene was wilding out. She was causing a ruckus practically every second.

But this was the prison personally arranged by Karl. Many bad guys had been held here.

They didn’t even need to do much and just gave Selene a little bit of food every day to make sure she didn’t starve.

After just one week, Selene had already grown up and become obedient.

She stopped messing around, stopped crying and being loud, and just behaved.

The guard increased her portion to two meals a day, and she instantly stopped complaining because she had learned her lesson.

When she heard some noise, she thought it was the guards coming to bring her dinner. But to her surprise, she saw Zobber and Paxton standing there.

Her eyes instantly darkened, and her entire expression became incredibly cold. “Are you all here to see me off?”

Paxton didn’t say anything. Zobber walked straight up to Selene.

She squatted down, giving Selene a cold stare with a strange smile. “You’re pretty clever, huh? You can even guess why we’re here. Since you already know what’s going on in your heart, we won’t make things difficult for you. Do it yourself.”

Zobber threw a medicine bottle in front of Selene and stared at her with a blank face. “I’m giving you a chance. Take action quickly, This medicine won’t have any side effects. It won’t make you feel uncomfortable.”

This made Selene’s body shake uncontrollably.

She thought she didn’t care about living or dying, but when she really knew that someone was going to send her off, she still trembled in fear.

Seeing her in this state, Zobber wanted to play a little prank. ‘She actually dared to harm Catherine. She’s going to have to pay the price for it.’

Zobber gave a look to Paxton, who immediately understood what Zobber was getting at.

Despite feeling helpless, Paxton didn’t stop Zobber from taking action.

He quickly walked up to Selene and restrained her.

But he didn’t tighten his grip too much, leaving some room for her to struggle.

Selene started to go crazy, screaming loudly regardless of her demeanor. ” What are you trying to do? Do you know that killing is illegal?”

Zobber squatted down in front of Selene, squinting and examining her with a playful smile. “Yo, just a moment ago, you were acting all tough; why are you backing down now?”

Selene valued reputation more than her life. When she heard Zobber’s words, she felt more miserable than being killed.

Zobber firmly grabbed her chin, forcing her to make eye contact. “When you started messing with Catherine back in the day, you should have known there would be consequences like this.”

‘She actually dared to harm Catherine and even planned to harm the baby in Catherine’s belly.’ This was enough to make Zobber explode with anger just by talking about it, let alone the fact that the perpetrator was standing in front of her right now.

If she didn’t give Selene a good lesson, she would not be Zobber.

Selene was scared pale.

After watching her struggle for a while, Zobber said to Paxton, “Grab her tight. Let’s send her on her way now.”

Now, no matter how much Selene struggled, it was in vain.

Zobber quickly pried open her mouth and shoved all the white pills into her mouth.

Without giving her a chance to hesitate, Zobber directly forced her to swallow it.

After she swallowed it, Zobber gestured for Paxton to release her.

After Selene was released, she immediately shrunk to the side, frantically digging at her throat, trying to dig out the pills.

Her disheveled appearance was truly comical.

Zobber was laughing her ass off on the side, feeling pretty damn proud as she recorded every bit of Selene’s miserable state.

Selene threw up some of the pills, but Zobber gave her too much. She couldn’t guarantee she threw up all of it.

When she saw Zobber was still filming her, she got so mad and let out a loud roar. “Do you want me to die so bad? Do you think you can get away with it? If I die, none of you can escape.”

Upon hearing this, Zobber burst out laughing. “Scaredy-cat, I was just pranking; I didn’t expect you to be such a coward.”

Upon hearing this, Selene was immediately stunned. She stared at Zobber with wide eyes filled with anger.

Seeing her smile getting bigger and bigger, Selene realized she was being tricked and was so angry that she wanted to slap Zobber.

Before she could even get close to Zobber, Zobber kicked her away.

Zobber looked down at Selene, who was lying on the ground, and said with a cold tone, “You’ve got a chance to come clean. I’ll let you off today, but if you keep being stubborn, I’ll come to take care of you 24/7. Just you wait!”

Catherine Swann, a simple countryside girl, was having a leisurely and carefree life in the countryside. She thought she could have a happy life there for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, life had other plans for her. Her grandfather left a will for her, making her the inheritor of the Swanns’ billion-dollar fortune. As if that wasn’t shocking enough, he also arranged a marriage for her.

Branden Duncan, the only heir of the wealthiest family in Casier, was the dream prince charming of almost all the women in Casier. But Catherine turned him down in public. Instead of being angry about it, he was attracted by Catherine's cold eyes.Although Catherine seemed to be a girl with a simple life in the countryside, she was not simple. What kind of identity did she have? How would she deal with her unexpected fiancé and the opposition from the rest of the Swanns to her inheritance of the Swanns’ fortune?

Chapter 1 Return of the Jinx At Vicente Swann's funeral. As the Swanns were one of the three prominent families in Casier, Vicente's funeral was naturally packed with big shots and members of respected families in Casier. In the noisy venue, the arrival of a girl in a white T-shirt attracted the attention of everyone present. All of the people present were either rich or powerful. Despite being good-looking, the girl wore a cheap and battered T-shirt, setting her apart from everyone else at the funeral. Seeing how she walked straight toward the Swanns family, someone couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is she? Why is she sitting with the Swanns?" "I heard that she is Miss Catherine, the second daughter of the Swanns that had lived away from the family. Vicente only asked her to come back before he died." "Is that so? I heard that Vicente ordered the family to announce his will in front of everyone before he died. I guess she only returned for this!" ... The girl did not know that she had already become the topic of the guests' discussions. She looked calmly ahead with an indifferent expression on her face. Her eyes remained focused on Vicente's portrait in the middle of the venue. Nobody knew what she was thinking about at the time. At the sight of Catherine Swann like this, Liana Swann, the youngest and favorite daughter of the Swanns, couldn't help complaining to her mother, who was sitting next to her. "Mom, what is going on with this country girl? Grandpa has died. Even if she isn't sad, she should at least pretend to cry. What would the others think if the media took a photo of her like this later? She wouldn't even change her clothes when we asked her to. People that don't know better would think that the Swanns have mistreated her!" After hearing her youngest daughter's complaints, Rachael Swann furrowed her brows too. She thought that her youngest daughter did have a point. She never loved Catherine, her daughter from the countryside, dearly. In fact, Catherine pissed Rachael off just one day after she had returned. However, it was not the right time for Rachael to handle Catherine now. She planned to wait until the funeral was over before sending Catherine back to the countryside so that Catherine wouldn't continue to embarrass the Swanns here. Looking up, Rachael saw that her husband had arrived. She comforted her youngest daughter in a low voice, "Liana, be good. Your father is here. Bear with Catherine for now. We need to deal with what is important first!" Liana couldn't show her annoyance towards Catherine in public, so she could only choke back the complaints on the tip of her tongue. Nobody noticed that Catherine, who had been looking straight ahead, smiled lightly. The Swanns never spent time with Catherine, so they wouldn't know she had exceptional hearing. Even though Rachael and Liana spoke in a low voice, Catherine clearly heard every word of their exchange. Her mother truly did not love her! As Catherine stared at Vicente's portrait, her eyes flashed with a faint trace of sadness. Did she have to cry because of pain? ... Korbin Swann walked up the stage slowly. He gave a long speech first and expressed his views about how great Vicente was before finally announcing that the family would publicly announce Vicente's will. As many people knew this beforehand, the crowd was not too surprised. Vicente had a son and daughter. It was a no-brainer who would inherit the fortune of the Swanns. However, nobody understood why Vicente would make sure to make such a fuss to announce his will publicly. Was it just for formality? The lawyer Vicente trusted the most when he was still alive opened the sealed will and read it out loud. "After careful consideration, I, Vicente Swann, leave all my shares of the Swann Corporation, real estate properties, and a 500 million-dollar deposit at the Bank of Nospines to my granddaughter, Catherine Swann..." At the lawyer's words, the crowd gasped in shock. Not even the Swanns, everyone present was dumbfounded. Catherine Swann? Wasn't she the second daughter of the Swanns, the jinx that Vicente sent off to be raised in the countryside when she was young? How could it be? She would inherit the fortune of the Swanns. With their jaws dropped, everyone shared a similar look of horror. Except for Catherine, the center of the discussion. She still looked indifferent, as though nothing had happened. Her eyes were still fixed on Vicente's portrait in the center of the hall. Her lips parted slightly as she spoke in an almost inaudible voice. "Old man, what were you thinking?"
