Chapter 1038 An Undisclosed Relationship

They had an appointment at a recreational manor, a new property Zobber had just bought. Zobber had invited them to come along for the experience.

Since Catherine’s pregnancy, the entire Hacker Alliance had had much leisure time. Even though there was less to do, they had earned no less money and were basically in a dominant position.

Zobber enjoyed the current situation too much becasue there was still money to be made easily. They might only have one business per year, but the profit from this business was already enough for them to spend for a year.

After wandering around with her friends, Zobber excitedly looked at everyone. “How about this place? It’s not bad, right? I bought it at a high price!”

This was Casier, and Triston was aware of any changes in the real estate industry.

He had indeed received the news when Zobber auctioned off the manor, and he also knew that Zobber had given an above-market price to take the land. But he knew that Zobber had plenty of money. It was fine as long as she was willing.

Audrey admired Zobber’s vision. Although Zobber was a bit reckless and even a bit crazy, she was still very smart when doing business.

After wandering around, Audrey was full of envy and said, “This place is really nice. It’ll be nice if I can come here for two days every month when I have some free time.”

Looking at Audrey’s envious face, Zobber said casually, “With your strength, you can buy a manor easily. How about you buy one, too?”

Audrey shook her head with a light smile. “I don’t have that kind of energy to run such a big manor.”

Zobber, on the other hand, said generously, “Then you can come to my place when you want to relax. You can come here whenever you want. Anyway, I bought this place to provide everyone with another place to enjoy yourselves. I’ll be very happy to have you here. Come here whenever you want, and I’ll cover all the expenses.”

Amelia raised the glass and shouted, ” Come on. Come on. Let’s thank Zobber.”

The crowd was laughing and talking.

Triston, sitting on the side, stared intently at the happy Audrey with a smile at the corner of his mouth the whole time.

Audrey didn’t have many friends, and because she was in the showbiz, she could socialize with so few of them. It was rare to see her so relaxed and smiling so brightly.

Ronin, sitting on the side, observed Triston’s gaze fixed on Audrey and nudged Withal.

Withal was confused. After taking a glance, he felt that Ronin was too bored. He whispered, “Are you blind or something? Can’t you see that?”

Ronin was a bit confused. “Should I see something?”

Withal rolled his eyes silently and thought to himself, “Ronin is usually pretty smart, but unfortunately, he’s stupid when it comes to relationships.”

He said with a resentful tone, “Can’t you see that there’s something fishy about these two’s relationship? Maybe they made up a long time ago.”

Audrey and Triston didn’t publicize their relationship, but Withal and the others, out of the sensitivity of their professional habits, had seen through everything long ago. Ronin was the only one who hadn’t seen it yet.

Ronin tensed up when he heard this. He frowned and sat next to Triston, looking at him with a serious expression on his face. “Tell me, are you trying to seduce Audrey again?”

Triston gave a faint smile, his deep eyes fixed on Ronin. “When did I ever give up on seducing her?”

Ronin was just about to give a lecture when he suddenly reacted to what Triston had said. He looked at Triston with contempt. “You scum, you’re such a bad man. You’ve been thinking about Audrey.”

At his righteous indignation, Triston was a little puzzled. “If you were Catherine, I would understand your reaction. Why are you so concerned about Audrey too?”

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?"
