Chapter 759 Catherine, We’re Here

No one at the scene seemed to have expected Catherine to be so arrogant in such a situation. She even shot someone in front of the alliance leader. Was she really not afraid of death?

The alliance leader’s already gloomy face had darkened to the extreme at that moment.

He thought to himself, “Catherine, not only did you challenge my majesty, but you also provoked me in public. If I don’t punish you, how am I going to manage the entire Florona in the future?”

The alliance leader gave orders to everyone with a cold face. He reached out and pointed in Catherine’s direction, his eyes filled with anger. ” Kill them all.”

With that, the attendants present shouted in response, “Yes, sir!”

Even if Catherine had strong abilities and could fight, it would be difficult for her to escape in the face of hundreds of guns aimed at her.

Not to mention the fact that she still had to take Regan with her, and Amos was in the alliance leader’s hands.

Just as Catherine was preparing to use her låst chip to negotiate with the alliance leader, the situation suddenly changed.

More than ten ships crossed the border defense line and headed straight for the dock.

The man standing at the bow of the ship had a black training uniform and sharp eyes. His handsome face looked more and more cold and resolute under the illumination of the light.

Regan panicked when she saw the man standing at the bow of the boat.

For her, it seemed like a dream. She couldn’t even believe everything she saw in front of her.

She thought inwardly, “He’s here! He really comes.”

Jotham also noticed that the handsome face of the man standing at the bow was similar to the man’s face in his memory.

His heart tightened. He knew that this matter was troublesome.

The alliance leader did not expect that besides Catherine, there would be someone who could break into Florona with so many people without his permission.

He thought to himself, “It looks like we’re going to have to redeploy our borderline defense.”

The alliance leader’s gaze fell on Catherine, and his fierce gaze scrutinized her up and down. “Did you bring the people behind you?”

Catherine didn’t respond, her expression becoming increasingly calm and indifferent.

“Hmph!” The alliance leader snorted disdainfully as if he did not take this group of people seriously. He even shouted arrogantly at Catherine, ” Come on. The more people you bring, the better. There hasn’t been a war on Florona for some years. You guys have come at the right time today. I will let all of you die on this island.”

Catherine listened to his threat as if she was listening to a joke. “If you can do that, just give it a try.”

Her calm but firm tone made the alliance leader somewhat indecisive. He didn’t know what allowed Catherine to say such words in such a calm and self-assured manner.

He even suspected that Catherine’s power was much more than what he saw in front of him.

The moment Branden saw Catherine, he finally felt a lot more at ease. Before the ship docked, he couldn’t wait to jump down from the ship and run to Catherine’s side.

Along the way, only Catherine was in his eyes.

He didn’t pay attention to anyone else except her.

When the members of the maintenance team saw Branden rushing toward Catherine, they subconsciously wanted to arrest him. However, Branden’s aura was too strong.

It was so strong that they didn’t even dare to make any extra movements when Branden passed by their side. They could only watch as he walked over to Catherine.

Branden had a lot to say inside, and he even had a lot of anger to vent, but the moment he reached her and saw her, all the words in his heart ended up turning into concern for her. “How are you?”

Catherine took the initiative to hold his hand and tightly grasped it in the palm of her hand. Because she saw his hand shaking.

Branden, who had always been calm, was so nervous that his hands trembled because of her.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine.” Catherine’s calm tone brought peace to Branden’s restless heart.

Only after confirming that Catherine was truly fine did Branden shift his gaze to Regan, who was off to the side.

He didn’t say a word, just gave her a quiet glance.

His cold and unfamiliar eyes caused Regan to have a heart palpitation. She even felt some difficulty breathing.

She had thought that she would never have the chance to see her son in her life, but to her surprise, her son was now right in front of her.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. Crystal tears unconsciously fell from her eyes.

Regan parted and closed her lips several times before she could call out the name that she had called out countless times in her dreams.”

Branden…”

“Yes!” Branden nodded slightly. His gaze was still cold, and his voice was also cold. “How are you doing?”

His cold tone made Regan have a heartache.

She couldn’t accept that her son was so cold to her, even colder than to a stranger.

But she knew she wasn’t in a position to blame Branden.

Because everything about today was her choice. If she hadn’t abandoned Branden since childhood, there was no way Branden would have treated her this way.

Regan forced herself to hold back the sharp pain in her heart. With great difficulty, she curved her lips into a smile. “Don’t worry. I’m fine!”

Branden really had no other purpose. He just wanted to know if his mother was still alive in this world and if she was living well.

Once, before he met Catherine, perhaps he would resent his mother.

But now, he had gradually accepted and let go of all this.

The things that one could gain in their lifetime were limited.

Branden’s mother abandoned him to pursue her own happiness, but God’s favor made him have Catherine.

It all balanced out. And he had let it all go with time.

Zobber and the others walked behind Branden. They hurriedly disembarked from the ship.

Seeing the confrontation between the two sides, they were all on alert and instantly entered a state of readiness. ” Catherine, we’re here!”

The alliance leader sized them up. He felt that these people were not simple.

The attendant beside him passed the information to him immediately. ”

Lord, that man is Branden. The people behind him are all from the Hacker Alliance, and there are quite a few soldiers from the Duncans.”

This might not be good news for the alliance leader.

This group of people was the elite of the elite. Although the alliance leader now had the geographical advantage, it didn’t necessarily mean that he would be able to win in a big way.

And even if he was victorious, it was likely that he would have to pay a terrible price.

Branden glanced toward Amos behind him and inquired to Catherine at the side, “He’s your man?”

“Yes!” Catherine nodded. “I’ll take care of it!”

As soon as she finished saying that, the expression on Branden’s face changed. His voice also became serious. “I’ll have the final say this time.”

Catherine knew Branden was still angry at her for the deception.

Looking at Branden’s stubble and dark circles under his eyes, Catherine felt a little distressed. She went along with it.

Catherine thought to herself, “Since he wants to solve it himself, let him. If the alliance leader dares to hurt my man, don’t blame me for going on a killing spree. I’ll simply overturn the entire Florona and kill everyone on this island.

After Branden finished his explanation, he walked straight toward where the alliance leader was.

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?"
