Chapter 168 A Liar

Tomorrow would be the weekend, and Catherine had to accompany Audrey to continue filming the show. With two more episodes to go, Audrey had accumulated a lot of popularity because of the show. Her endorsements and filming had increased, and now she looked happy in front of Catherine every day.

The bell rang for the end of school, and Catherine slowly woke up on time. When she opened her eyes, still redness in her cold eyes. there was On her extremely beautiful face, two dark brows furrowed tightly together. With a gloomy aura between her brows, she looked terrifying.

During Catherine’s one or two minutes of waking up, no one dared to go forward to disturb her. Even Ronin had to wait for her mood to improve before he dared to make a sound in front of her.

“Boss, have some coffee!”

Catherine didn’t even look up habitually stretched her hand. but Ronin moved naturally and served the coffee into her hand. Looking at her brows gradually relaxing because of the hot coffee in her throat, Ronin felt a trace of satisfaction in his heart.

Only he understood Catherine’s preferences. Seeing Catherine happy and making her comfortable was the most joyful thing for him because she had given him his life. No one could replace the position of Catherine in his heart. “Boss, tomorrow is the weekend. We don’t need to rehearse. Why don’t we go for a night out?”

Although the celebration gala was just around the corner, and many teams would take advantage of the weekend to step up their practice, did they need it?

With their level, they didn’t need to know what rehearsal was at all. Hearing what Ronin said, Bryan pricked up his ears and waited. He was ready to speak at the appropriate time to express his willingness for a night out.

Unfortunately, Catherine didn’t let the two of them have their way. She propped up her chin with one hand and played with the cup in her hand in a bored manner. “I’ll be up early tomorrow to film the show with Audrey. I need to rest tonight.”

Ronin knew Catherine would accompany Audrey to film the show tomorrow. If they played too late tonight, it would affect Catherine’s state tomorrow.

Catherine had to be beautiful on the TV show tomorrow. She couldn’t be affected. They would have time to have fun in the future.

“Boss, you go to film the show at ease. I’ll be in front of the screen to cheer you on!” Without waiting for Catherine to react, Bryan on the side couldn’t wait to add, ” I will do it, too!”

“Hey, why are you like this? You’re so fond of repeating what others say!” Ronin shouted in dissatisfaction. Bryan retorted unwillingly. They were two adults, but they were more childish than two kids.

Catherine shook her head helplessly and took her book bag with one hand to go out. By the time Ronin reacted, Catherine had disappeared, but he still did not forget to glare at Bryan as hard as he did.

“Bastard, I won’t argue with you today. I’ll kill you next time. Let’s wait and see!”

After saying that, Ronin ran away with his stuff. Bryan shouted in dissatisfaction, “I’m not afraid of you!” While he shouted, he didn’t stop moving his hands. After packing up his things, he rushed out.

When Catherine exited the school, she saw the familiar car parked at the entrance. The car parked there today was a car she had seen before. She walked toward the car.

The window of the black McLaren automatically rolled down when she appeared, and the man stepped out of the car with his long, slender legs. He went straight to Catherine. Branden’s deep eyes fell on her body, and his initially cold eyes became gentle instantly.

“You knew I was here?”

The evening sunlight fell with the setting sun, and the golden sunlight enveloped Catherine’s body, gilding her with a golden halo.

Her elongated figure was half-hidden in the golden light, bright and dark, making her skin look transparent.

Her beauty was dazzling and made people feel it was unreal. Catherine slung her bag in one hand and the other hand in her pocket, casually glancing at him.

“I don’t know.” She just had the feeling that he was there. She just felt that he would be there since it was a Friday. She had no expectations or hopes for him there.

She walked out of the school naturally and saw he was there as if everything had been planned. The man smiled lightly. His handsome face became even more attractive and charming due to his smile.

He lowered his eyes and pointed toward the car beside him with his chin. “Get in the car. How about we go for dinner?

“Okay!”

Catherine’s answer was sharp and straightforward. The man pulled the car door open for her. He put one of his hands against the top of the door to prevent her from accidentally bumping her head.

On the other side, Ronin and Bryan rushed and finally arrived at the school entrance. Unexpectedly, they only saw Catherine’s back getting into the car. Catherine said she had to rest tonight and wake up early tomorrow!

Liar!

She was a big liar!

Ronin vented all of his frustration on Bryan beside him, throwing all kinds of tantrums. Bryan was irritated by his tantrums. He couldn’t help but reprimand, “What’s wrong with you?

“It’s useless that you make a scene here. It’s not me who took Boss away!”

Ronin snorted in dissatisfaction and angrily pointed his hand at Bryan’s nose, saying, “You guys surnamed Duncan are all bad people!”

After saying that, he angrily walked away. Bryan, who remained silent, rubbed his face helplessly. Suddenly, he felt it wasn’t necessarily good that his surname was Duncan.

His uncle was too treacherous. Branden had planned to take Catherine somewhere for dinner, but not long after driving off, he received a call from Triston.

Triston invited Branden to a get- together and said a few friends, including Aidan, were there. Aidan felt the vastness of Casier after he arrived there, and he didn’t want to go back.

Branden didn’t say yes right away. He turned his cell phone on speakerphone and placed it in front of Catherine’s face so she could hear it.

“Are we going?” Branden turned his head and asked Catherine, his low, husky voice gentle. Catherine lethargically leaned back on the leather car seat, tiredly lifted her eyelids, and said faintly, “Yes!”

After receiving the reply, Branden put the phone back. Catherine’s voice was not loud, but the person on the other end of the line could hear her clearly.

Hearing that it was a girl’s voice and it was cold, Triston knew it was Catherine without even guessing it. He said excitedly, “Mr. Duncan, hurry up and bring Kathy here. We miss her. Hurry up. We’re waiting for you! We haven’t seen each other for a while. You must come.”

Branden thought in his heart secretly, ‘ Miss her?”

How dared Triston miss his woman? Branden hung up the phone without waiting for Triston to finish his words. Triston, who was smart, did not send the address to Branden but directly to Paxton.

He knew that it must not be Branden who was driving and that Paxton would definitely be following Branden.

After Paxton received the address, he glanced behind him. Seeing that Branden didn’t refuse, he turned the car around and drove toward the route Triston had sent him the address of. Are you busy?” Catherine suddenly asked.

Branden tilted his head toward her, his eyes mixed with confusion. Seeing that he didn’t understand what she meant, Catherine added, “You haven’t gone to meet with Triston and the others all this time?”

She remembered that he and Triston were inseparable. Although Branden disliked Triston, Triston loved to pester Branden. When Triston was free, he liked to stay by Branden’s side and could not be driven away.

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?"
