Chapter 782 I Have Something to Report

Faced with Branden’s dominance, Catherine shrugged and looked indifferent.

She said, “We weren’t doing you a favor by stepping in to help Casier Real Estate, and we had no intention of meddling with the Duncan Corporation. We simply don’t like Shane and want to target him, can’t we?

Catherine said it lightly. If someone else had said such words, everyone would have thought that person was talking big.

But these words were said by Catherine. No one dared to question her. After all, Catherine had the ability. She could do whatever she said she would do.

Branden looked at Catherine with eyes full of dominance and deep fascination. “Of course you can. I was hoping to win by relying on my girlfriend, but I didn’t realize that you had no intention of helping me. You did that just because you don’t like Shane!”

Catherine crossed her hands around her chest and looked at Branden with raised eyebrows. “How about you give me the position of the Duncan Corporation’s president? In this way, you can wait to win by relying on me for the rest of your life.”

Branden rubbed his chin back and forth with his slender fingers. It seemed he was thinking seriously about the suggestion Catherine had made. He then gave his reply. “What you say makes some sense. Why don’t we just set it up that way?”

Everyone listened to Branden and Catherine teasing each other. After learning they wouldn’t argue, everyone ate with peace of mind.

If Catherine and Branden hadn’t fought, everyone would have had a good day.

After finishing the meal, seeing Catherine leaning to the side, Ronin approached her. “Catherine, why didn’t you let me hide my tracks?”

Although Ronin obeyed Catherine, he didn’t understand the reason for Catherine’s actions this time. He thought about it and decided to ask clearly.

Catherine could have made this matter very covert, making it impossible for Shane to find out, and could have even blamed it on Branden, but she did not do that.

She even specifically instructed Ronin to expose his whereabouts without covering up the surveillance footage.

In the face of Ronin’s inquiry, Catherine said nonchalantly, “Shane found out about it, so what? Wouldn’t he target me if he didn’t find out about it?”

Shane’s real purpose was Catherine, and the reason he put his hands on the Duncan Corporation in the first place was also because of Catherine.

Even if Catherine hadn’t been involved this time, Shane wouldn’t have given up targeting Catherine.

Since that was the case, it didn’t make much difference whether she made Shane find out about it or not.

Ronin looked at Catherine with some concern.

He was afraid of being heard, so he lowered his voice. “Catherine, I’m worried that if Shane is really annoyed, he will release information that is unfavorable to you.”

Shane still had something about them in his hands, which made Ronin very worried.

Upon hearing Ronin’s words, Catherine’s eyes instantly darkened. She whispered in a deep voice, “Don’t worry. Shane would rather kill me than expose that information.”

Although that was the case, Ronin was still a bit worried. “Catherine, are we going to take any next steps?”

Seeing Ronin so worried about her, Catherine reached out and gently patted Ronin’s head. “Trust me!”

Ronin nodded without hesitation, his eyes filled with determination. “I absolutely trust you!”

The assistant had followed Shane for many years and knew Shane very well.

He understood that Shane had always wanted Catherine to inherit his position. If Catherine were willing to inherit, he wouldn’t have a problem with it.

But now Catherine had changed. She had started to help outsiders deal with the Breens.

The assistant thought to himself, ‘We can’t keep such a person.’ He hesitated for a long time before finally making a decision and dialed the phone number he had not contacted for a long time.

“Sir, I have something to report!”

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?"
