Chapter 190 Remove Your Makeup

Sitting straight there, Enzo stared sternly at Adrien. “Adrien, Catherine has been rarely educated and extremely unruly. I think you’d better send her into the army!”

Donna also chimed in with a sad expression, “Yeah, today, when she just got here, she slapped Johnathan so hard just because he said a few words.” Adrien sized up Catherine with intrigue again and thought, “She’s quite something.”

She had been back for a while only, but she just made the Langs and the Swanns work together to deal with her.

Clearly, she was really not ordinary. Catherine knew Adrien was scrutinizing her, but she didn’t care at all. She just sat there lazily.

Adrien was a bit surprised to see that she looked composed. She could maintain composure at such a young age. It looked like she couldn’t be an ordinary girl.

Thinking of the Langs’ and the Swanns ‘attitudes toward Catherine, Adrien couldn’t help being dismissive of them. The Langs were always self-centered and haughty. He knew this better than anyone. Yet, he didn’t expect Korbin to be like this too.

It was really ignorant of them to choose the inferior daughter over the actually outstanding one. While others were all criticizing Catherine, Johnathan deliberately showed his injured face, clearly letting everyone know that Catherine had slapped him hard.

At that moment, he didn’t care about his face or not. He would do whatever he could to send Catherine away and keep the Swanns’ assets. The relatives were all pointing fingers at Catherine. They looked like they wished to send Catherine away.

Adrien cast a look at Johnathan and took a tumble. However, he pretended that he knew nothing and sized up Catherine, waiting for her to give a reply.

Originally, Catherine just wanted to ignore these people. She only showed concern for those she cared about. As for other people, they had nothing to do with her.

Yet, Audrey was shivering as she was worried about her. So, Catherine decided to give these people a slap in the face again.

She raised her hand and beckoned to Johnathan. Her dark eyes were as cold and stern as the abyss, making Johnathan tremble all over.

Johnathan subconsciously stepped back. He had been beaten by Catherine before. He was afraid he would be beaten again. He wouldn’t be that silly!

“Catherine, do you think I’m a fool? Why would I go over there because you beckoned to me? What if I go over there and you beat me? Look! The marks of your fingers haven’t faded away yet.”

Catherine stared at him and snorted, 11 Are you afraid that I might hit you, or do you have a guilty conscience?”

“I…” Johnathan couldn’t answer.

Rachael took the opportunity to push him, signaling him to go forward. If Catherine still hit Johnathan on this occasion, people would all know that she was arrogant and unreasonable.

Even if they did anything against her, it would be perfectly justifiable. And Rachael didn’t believe that Catherine could beat Johnathan again. Having received Rachael’s hint, Johnathan went to Catherine reluctantly.

He squinted at Catherine and said with deep disgruntlement, “Just say it. Why did you ask me to come over here?”

Everyone fixed their eyes on the two of them. They were also curious about what on earth Catherine wanted to do. Unexpectedly, Catherine made a move. She stood up abruptly before Adrien could see clearly what had just happened.

Johnathan subconsciously started to scream with his eyes closed. Catherine seized his neck, and he thought that he was about to be throttled by her.

Having seen clearly what Catherine was doing, Adrien, who was going to take action, stopped. A few seconds later, Catherine also stopped and moved her hand away from Johnathan’s face quickly.

Meanwhile, she showed the makeup remover wipe in her hand to Audrey. She gave a sinister smile that contained an air of arrogance.

“I’ve just tested your makeup remover wipe. It worked really well!”

Catherine had thrown the dirty makeup remover wipe to the ground. Yet, her toss was like a slap in Rachael’s face, which made Rachael a total disgrace.

Johnathan came around and found that Catherine had removed the makeup from his face rather than hit him. In a hurry, he tried to cover his face. However, it was already in vain. After all, everybody had seen what happened.

Due to the good genes of the Swanns, every descendant of the Swanns was extremely fair-skinned, including Johnathan. Audrey came around and couldn’t help stepping forward to defend Catherine.

“Johnathan, you brat! You’re so mischievous. How can you do the makeup to frame Catherine? Don’t you know she is your sister?”

Johnathan looked so embarrassed and really wanted to flare up, but he was suppressed by Rachael forcibly. Korbin darted a glance at Rachael. Unexpectedly, she couldn’t even do that well.

Rachael was also innocent. Initially, she wanted to give Johnathan two slaps to make things worse so that she could make Catherine a scapegoat and show everyone how wicked she was.

Yet, Johnathan wasn’t okay with that. He was afraid of pain and refused to agree by all means. Rachael always treated Johnathan as the apple of her eye. How could she let her son suffer like that?

In the end, she could only feign the injury by putting makeup on his face. To her astonishment, Catherine had such a sharp eye.

Catherine not only saw that through but also disclosed it. Audrey was getting more and more unruly, who always set against her.

After disclosing Johnathan, Catherine turned her head to look at Adrien. Their eyes met. Catherine’s eyes were provocative and arrogant.

The Langs and the others all wanted Adrien to interfere with this. Well, she would let him deal with it then. Catherine had laid bare the truth. Now, she was waiting for his response.

Adrien was amused by Catherine’s reaction inwardly. He didn’t expect her to shift the target to him. When Catherine acted, he had felt something unusual. She was a lot more impressive than his imagination.

She acted unusually fast just now. Undoubtedly, she must have been professionally trained. This trip back to the Langs’ was indeed worth it.

After all, he found this interesting thing. Since Catherine wanted him to meddle in this, he would do it then. Adrien darted a glance at Johnathan. Instantly, the latter hastened to lower his head in fright, not daring to look at Adrien.

He looked at the Langs with a grave expression. “Dad, Mom, the army is indeed a good place, for one can be well trained physically and mentally there. “But I think the one to be sent into the army shouldn’t be Catherine but Johnathan!”

Instantly, Johnathan and the Langs were all flustered.

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?"
