All Her Secrets Chapter 72 by Chestnut

Chapter 72 Do It Yourself, or I Do It

Catherine’s aura was so powerful that Henry was frightened. He even felt that a big knife was slashing toward his leg as soon as Catherine’s voice came out.

Surrounded by his friends, Henry couldn’t show his cowardice. He had to agree even though he was afraid, not to mention that he did not think Catherine could win.

His girlfriend was correct. They ran on this road daily, and there was no way this girl could win them. Henry’s attitude became arrogant after he had come to a decision.

“Fine, we will take the gamble? Let’s begin!” The other party was ready and waiting for Catherine to make an appearance.

Catherine looked at Branden. She reached out and grabbed his collar gently, and stared at him coldly.

“Are you not coming?”

Branden was the heir of a wealthy family, so he had no reason to join the gamble of life with her here. Catherine left the choice to him.

Branden looked at her with profound interest. He took a step back instantly.

At an astonishing speed, one hand crossed Catherine’s waist, picked her up, and put her in the front seat.

There was no sloppiness in that series of smooth and neat actions.

The people watching wanted to scream.

Branden did not release his hold on Catherine’s waist even after she had sat down.

Catherine frowned slightly and shook her body after she noticed it,

Even so, Branden had not let go of her

He closed the distance between them again, then spoke slowly, with a deep and seductive voice. “I believe in Miss Swann’s driving skills, but I will be afraid if it goes too fast. Holding you can give me a little more sense of security.”

Damn it!

Wanting to have more sense of security was a hoax. This man was taking advantage of her.

But why didn’t she kick the man aside and cripple him?

While Catherine was thinking, Branden spoke again. “Miss Swann, we will show ourselves as

an unmarried couple in the future. You will need to learn to adapt to this kind of intimacy early!”

Branden could feel Catherine’s body soften after hearing what he said. She was not as stiff as before. He watched her retreat through the rearview mirror. A faint smile appeared at the bottom of his eyes, the corners of his mouth raising unconsciously.

“What a slim waist she has!” he thought.

With everything ready, the motorcycles drove out at high speed at the sound of the whistle.

Catherine started the car slowly amidst the crowd’s scrambling. The referee began to feel anxious for her because of her slow attitude.

The

person in question did not respond. It was okay if she didn’t. The problem was even the man behind her was not responding.

Branden slowly sat down, full of calmness, and he did not rush Catherine.

With the beauty in his arms and her waist so slender, why would he be anxious when he was so comfortable?

With the tip of her tongue against her cheek, Catherine saw that the red motorcycle had already driven half a lap, so she started the car at a slow pace.

One either wouldn’t move or moved in a way that shocked everyone.

Vroom!

There was a gust of wind, and it blew the referee’s hat

away.

He had wanted to mock Catherine for losing. But when he opened his eyes, the people before him were gone. He turned his head and asked the people around him about the whereabouts of the motorcycle.

The crowd was also bewildered. The people did not see clearly how those two accelerated, and they had already disappeared from everyone’s eyes.

The referee looked at the dust still floating in mid-air, the whistle inside his mouth falling to the ground.

Damn, did gods descend on Earth? Why were both the man and the woman so powerful?

Catherine didn’t release the throttle from the moment she started.

She modified the motorcycle personally. Accelerating without letting go of the accelerator would enable her to reach the limit.

At the same time, it was precarious to do so. With this speed, even a tiny stone could make the tires skid, and the motorcycle would crash.

It was a test of skills. The acceleration at this time was even faster than when Branden was

driving.

Their motorcycle was like a phantom in the night, quickly surpassing the other motorcycles, one after another, approaching the one at the front.

At the moment when the other party felt that triumph was near, lightly overtaking them would be like pouring a large basin of cold water down hard on them.

Wouldn’t it be boring to overtake them early and lead all the way?

Even if a cat caught a rat, it would not kill it instantly. But it would play with it slowly, allowing it to escape and capture it again. Wouldn’t such repeated play be fun?

Catherine had this in mind. Unfortunately, the opponent was so weak that there was no fun.

Catherine stopped the motorcycle. Branden sat in the back seat, and the expression on his face remained unchanged. He was still holding that cold smile in contempt of everything.

Beneath the seemingly calm and unchanged handsome face, there was turmoil in his heart.

Limitless accelerated speed, the extreme pleasure made it seem like some power in his body. was about to burst out.

Henry and the others lost, and Henry also knew that he had met an opponent. He couldn’t help but admire Catherine.

He was clear that he was also unable to win the girl in front of him. He got off the motorcycle. and walked to Catherine with a change in attitude. “Girl, I concede defeat. How about 10

million?”

Catherine curled her red lips, revealing a wry smile. “You do it yourself, or I do it?”

Henry was a little anxious, seeing that the other party refused to give up. If the soft approach didn’t work, it would have to be on the hard.

“Girl, I’m well-known in this area. It’s not worthwhile for you to offend me. How about making a friend? You can use my name next time, and I will protect you.”

Ha!

Protect her?

The person who could protect her didn’t even exist in this world!

Henry was acting all unreasonable. His people behind him had also gathered around, making a

scene.

There was no fear at Catherine’s side, and their expressions did not change.

Branden crossed his arms around his chest, leaning against the motorcycle, watching it all like

a spectator.

1/4

He didn’t do anything because Catherine didn’t ask him to. He wanted to see how Catherine would handle it.

The atmosphere became tense instantly.

Henry was ready to attack at any time. He looked at the other party and raised his chin with an arrogant attitude. “Girl, you had better be sensible and leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ungracious.”

Catherine looked at him coldly and said in a provocative tone, “Very well, go ahead!”

She wanted to see how rude this little black man was going to be.

Henry was about to let his people make the move. To teach her a lesson to warn her off.

Suddenly…

Vroom!

There was a roar, and a dozen rare top-class sports cars came speeding by.

The head of the pack was an arrogant fluorescent green Huracan. There were only three such cars worldwide, and Casier had only one.

The car was a symbol of status.

Henry’s and the others’ faces sank the moment the car appeared.

Everyone here was a car enthusiast, and everyone knew the owner of this top sports car.

Those cars behind him were also not to be underestimated. Who could have attracted these big shots here?

His Nanny Mate Chapter 250 By Eve Above Story

His Nanny Mate Chapter 250 By Eve Above Story

The time between Michael going to prison and Daisy’s birth were such a whirlwind of activity that the months practically flew by. Ethan and Kelly wound up being transferred to a mental health facility. I think that was better for them in the long run, as the things that they did were ultimately the result of Michael’s brainwashing. I didn’t hold any grudges against them; in fact, Edrick and I visited them on a monthly basis, and the medication and therapy that they went through seemed to be helping a bit. Of course, Kelly could never get over her obsession with Edrick. Nor could Ethan get over his obsession with me. It was very likely that they would spend years in that place, but at least we could have somewhat normal conversations with them when we went to visit. Michael, however, had no visitors and I didn’t feel the least bit bad about it. Verona eventually finalized her divorce with him, and she got most of his money as well as the house. She became the matriarch of the Morgan family, and over the next six months we went to countless wonderful parties hosted by Verona where there was no drama or fighting. It felt good to finally have a chance to enjoy attending those sorts of parties without judgment or hatred. My status as the Golden Wolf was quickly discovered by the public. There were, of course, some fringe groups who wanted me dead, but they had no way of killing the Golden Wolf now that the knife was gone. Thanks to what happened at the cliff, the future generations of the Golden Wolf would be allowed to live and continue to create peace in the world. I continued teaching at the school, and split my time with the orphanage and the Humanity’s Reach Initiative  as well. I was on track to become the next headmistress at the school someday, but I still didn’t know if that was what I wanted. Countless humanitarian organizations were still begging me to work for them, and the prospect of trying something new was exciting to me. Since I continued teaching, I only volunteered for these organizations instead. On more than one occasion, Edrick accused me of doing too much and not getting enough rest. I just laughed at him because I knew that the baby and I could handle it. We had been through so much before, and the volunteering that I was doing was making the world a better place. Edrick continued being the WereCorp CEO, but he was much different after the events at the mountain estate. He became more fair toward his human employees, and even went so far as to purchase Sophia’s orphanage. He donated money to other local orphanages, and the two of us quickly became known as the biggest philanthropists in the city. On Christmas, we even threw a massive charity gala that beat a record for the most amount of money raised toward humanitarian organizations. It was of course run by the Humanity’s Reach Initiative, which had grown immensely since we joined and put in our efforts. The two of us were happy together. We didn’t have to hide our relationship from anyone — not even ourselves. In the penthouse, we were a little family. We didn’t get engaged, though, but that was okay with me. I was just excited to meet our daughter. I was lying on the couch after a long day of teaching and going to public events when I felt it. Selina had just given me a good scolding for overexerting myself so close to my due date, and now I was reading a book with a sandwich and a cup of tea sitting on the coffee table. Suddenly, I felt something strange. “Um… Selina?!” I called out. I dropped my book and stood, my eyes widening at the large wet spot left behind on the couch. Selina came running, and her eyes widened as well. “Did your…” Her voice faded and she clamped her hand over her mouth. I nodded slowly, both excited and terrified out of my mind. “My water broke. Daisy is on the way.” Edrick and I decided to name the baby Daisy. Daisy Anne Morgan… Someday, I would tell her how her big sister picked that name out, and it was the prettiest and most special name I had ever heard. The contractions began soon after my water broke. Selina was on the phone with Edrick and was telling him to get home when I felt the first one. I let out a loud groan and practically doubled over from the pain as I gripped the back of the couch with white knuckles. “Mom?” Ella asked, tugging on my skirt. “Are you alright?” I nodded and swallowed, feeling myself already beginning to sweat from the pain. “Yes, love. It’s called a contraction.” Ella c****d her head to the side. “What does that mean?” I gritted my teeth through the pain and managed a smile. “It means that your little sister is trying to get out,” I said, pinching Ella’s cheek. I was overtaken then by another wave of pain, and Selina came scurrying out of the kitchen with a worried look on her face. “Edrick is on his way. I’ll take you to the hospital now if you want—” “No.” I shook my head firmly. “I want to wait for Edrick.” Selina opened her mouth to protest at first, but then quickly shut it again. I could tell that she knew that there was no changing my mind now, and so she and Ella both stayed with me while I paced back and forth around the living room, clutching my belly as waves of contractions came over me. Finally, Edrick burst out of the elevator with a wild look on his face. His tie was loosened, his shirt was half untucked, and his hair was a mess. He looked like he practically flew here. I couldn’t help but laugh. “You look ridiculous,” I teased. “Mom peed on the couch!” Ella shouted. Selina hushed Ella. “Don’t be rude!” she scolded. “It’s not urine! It’s called amniotic fluid.” Ella furrowed her brow, still clutching my skirt. “Well, it looks like pee.” Edrick and I both burst out laughing. Ella never ceased to lighten the mood, even when she didn’t mean to. Within minutes, Edrick and I were on the way to the hospital. Ella threw a royal fit when she found out that she couldn’t come until later, but I knew that it would likely be hours spent in the hospital and that it would be worse if she came now. As Edrick drove, he clutched my hand and kept looking over at me nervously, as though I would explode or even just disappear into thin air. “I love you,” Edrick said as he took a turn. Through the pain of the contractions, I could hardly speak. I could only smile back at him, and I squeezed his hand three times. Over the past six months, we had developed a secret code to say I love you without having to speak… And at that moment, I needed to use that secret code more than ever. Edrick grinned and squeezed back. Soon enough, the hospital came into view. Despite the pain, I couldn’t stop smiling. I was so excited to finally meet our daughter.
