Triston's arrival at the restaurant had already caught Branden's attention.To avoid alarming Catherine, he allowed Triston to approach, but he didn't expect him to be so clueless.When Catherine looked up, Triston realized that the girl sitting across from Branden was her.His face instantly lit up with a smile as he addressed her, "Hey, Catherine, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you in my restaurant!"Catherine remained silent, maintaining her cold demeanor, not even glancing at Triston, and continuing to enjoy her barbecue.Triston, despite coming from a wealthy family, didn't act like the typical obnoxious rich kid.Even if Catherine ignored him, he didn't seem upset. Instead, his gaze shifted between Catherine and Branden."Oh, oh, oh, your table is ready. Maybe I should join you here? The more, the merrier! Am I right?"After saying that, Triston immediately sat down, took a new set of utensils, and didn't hesitate to start eating the food on the table.A
Feeling the fury emanating from Rachael, Catherine halted and turned to face her.Despite Rachael's demeanor, Catherine's expression remained indifferent and cold, seemingly unaffected. She stared at Rachael with cold eyes, silently questioning her intentions.In Rachael's eyes, Catherine was an arrogant girl who thought highly of herself.Rachael's belief that Catherine was a troublemaker who could only cause distress only grew stronger, fueling her anger to the point where she couldn't control her temper any longer. She madly shouted at Catherine, "Who do you think you are, Catherine Swann? Let me tell you, you'd better start behaving yourself. You have no manners at all. Where the hell did you go after school? What were you doing, huh? Do you even know what time it is now? You're nothing but a wild savage!"Witnessing Rachael shouting at Catherine, Liana and Johnathan couldn't hide the joy in their hearts. The bright smiles on their faces revealed their discontent with Catheri
The next day, Catherine didn't rush to school upon waking up. Instead, she took a leave from school and accompanied her lawyer, Leonel Bolton, to the Swann Corporation's office building. Being considered a top-tier aristocratic family in Casier, the security at their office building was naturally stringent. Two tall security guards stood downstairs, scanning the area with sharp gazes. The stern expressions on their faces were enough to intimidate even the most timid individuals, not to mention their well-trained and muscular physiques.As a black Mercedes parked steadily at the entrance, Catherine, the first one to step out of the car, walked confidently forward.Her eyes focused straight ahead, and her cold and proud expression symbolized her noble status.She strolled with confidence towards the building, causing the two towering security guards to subconsciously bend over and greet her, recognizing her as someone born to be respected.Only after the group entered the gat
The mocking gazes and continuous sneers seemed to have no effect on Catherine. She remained unfazed, not even blinking or changing her expression. Lifting her head, she slowly scanned the room with her pure brown eyes, as clear as glass, emitting a chilling light as she looked at each person present.Wherever her gaze landed, no one dared to meet her eyes.The mocking laughter gradually subsided, as no one had expected such a sharp and powerful gaze from a young girl.They were subconsciously intimidated by her, even forgetting why they had mocked her moments ago.With the room quieting down, Catherine reached out a hand to Leonel who stood behind her, without even turning her head. Immediately, Leonel opened his briefcase and took out several documents, respectfully handing them to Catherine.Korbin looked at Leonel with disdain.Leonel was a well-known lawyer in the industry, yet he showed extreme respect to this young girl. "He is making a fool of himself," Korbin thought.
Korbin seethed with anger, but Catherine remained composed, unaffected by his emotional display. Her beautiful eyes glanced around the room before settling on Korbin, and her lips curled into a mysterious smile that left everyone wondering what she was thinking."Mr. Swann, if you desire the position of chairperson, I can offer it to you," she calmly replied.Catherine blinked at him as if waiting for his nod of approval.The people present were shocked to hear Catherine's unexpected offer, thinking that she was arrogant. They couldn't believe that she would say such a thing.Leonel, standing behind Catherine, tried his best to maintain a serious expression. While Korbin might not have been as powerful as his father, he still held significant influence in Casier.Catherine offering him the position could easily be misinterpreted as Leonel manipulating his daughter.Catherine acted as if she were being gracious to Korbin, but her intentions were clear, to strip him of his power.
Upon hearing Leonel's question, Catherine nonchalantly nodded, as if she were unaffected by anything that had transpired.It had taken an hour, which was too long for her."I've read everything and memorized the main points. There shouldn't be any problem dealing with the projects of the Swann Corporation. If I have any questions, I'll contact you!"Her voice was cold, without warmth or emotion.However, why did it sound sarcastic to him?Leonel couldn't help but feel like a fool for offering his support earlier.Did someone like her, who could absorb and memorize so much information in just an hour, truly need his assistance?Seeing Catherine get up and leave, Leonel quickly followed.He finally understood why Mr. Swann insisted strongly on Catherine returning to inherit the family business.There would be no hope for the Swann Corporation without Catherine. She could make the Swann Corporation invincible and always stand undefeated in the industry if she wanted.As they rea
As everyone's eyes were fixed on Catherine, she walked alongside Branden and entered the restaurant. The interior design of the restaurant matched the style of the building, exuding an elegant and unique ambiance that transported people to a foreign country.They were given the largest private room, not in terms of table size, but in its expansive area, resembling a spacious, one-level restaurant. Branden handed the menu to Catherine and asked, "What would you like to eat?" Catherine didn't respond, her delicate face resting on her hand, indicating her fatigue and weariness.Branden noticed her exhaustion and sighed as he gazed at her. "Then I'll order. After we finish eating, I'll take you to rest," he said in a deep tone. Catherine had no objections. She didn't enjoy selecting dishes, so she didn't mind letting Branden decide on the meal.If there was anything she didn't like, she could choose not to eat it.Since there were only the two of them, Branden thought a simple
The classroom was filled with noise, but it quickly fell silent as Catherine arrived.At that instant, all eyes were focused on her.Moreover, her attire stood out among her classmates, who were wearing the school uniform. Even in a simple white T-shirt and jeans, she exuded the presence of a movie star walking on a red carpet.Despite the intense scrutiny from her peers, Catherine remained unresponsive, her expression cold and indifferent, as she made her way directly to her seat.Before she even arrived, Bryan, standing nearby, pulled out a chair and gestured toward Catherine."Please," he said.Catherine glanced at him and nodded, possessing both delicate features and a touch of masculine energy.When Bryan received a response from Catherine, a slight smile appeared on his face.In his view, he felt that he had taken another step towards becoming friends with Catherine.Bryan was the most popular boy in the school, and many girls in the class had a crush on him.To their
