Chapter 197 Triston Was Despised

Catherine raised her eyebrows and waited for Ronin’s next words. Ronin originally had a spirited look, but he instantly drooped after meeting Catherine’s gaze.

He knew that Catherine was waiting for his next words, but he was terrified in his heart and dared not continue. He asked trembly, “Boss, are you going to dinner?”

“Uh-huh,” Catherine replied. Ronin couldn’t tell what her mood was at the moment. He continued cautiously, “How about you take me with you? I have nowhere to have dinner yet!”

His pathetic look would make those who didn’t know the situation think Catherine was abusing her men. As Ronin spoke, he pulled Bryan’s sleeve, signaling him to say something as well.

It was not that Catherine didn’t notice the interaction between the two. It was just that they were so funny that she didn’t even know what to say.

Bryan had just tricked Ronin once. He feared Ronin would get angry if he didn’t help him now. Therefore, he still forced himself to speak despite Bryan’s fear of his uncle’s dominance.

He looked toward his uncle’s car. His uncle’s car today was a luxurious and low-key McLaren. He had an idea instantly and said cleverly, “Boss, don’t worry. That car can’t accommodate so many people. I’ll take Ronin’s car!”

The most prominent feature of this McLaren was its integrated central control, which meant that only two people could sit in the back seat.

So Bryan arranged everything and put forward his ideas politely. Ronin secretly gave Bryan a thumbs up. He didn’t expect that Bryan, a man from a wealthy family, could almost be as cheeky as he was.

The two of them looked pitifully at Catherine with the same gaze. Catherine didn’t make a decision and turned her head to look at Branden.

Branden glanced coldly at the two of them. He didn’t know that these two boys were addicted to following Catherine. Since they liked to follow Catherine, he would just let them.

“Okay!”

After finishing speaking generously, he opened.the car door and led Catherine into the car.

As soon as the two of them got into the car, Bryan and Ronin, who were standing at the window, heard the ” snap” sound of the central locking system.

The car was locked, blocking Bryan and Ronin outside. With a faint glance, Branden looked at Bryan and Ronin outside the car window. He curled his thin lips gently into a smile, which looked very sinister.

Paxton had been with Branden for many years and understood him the most. The high-performance McLaren was driven away with just one step on the accelerator. Ronin and Bryan breathed in a lot of exhaust fumes, and their faces twisted with anger.

Seeing Bryan standing still without moving, Ronin said disgustedly, ” Alright, stop looking at it. They’ve already gone. Hurry up and get in the car to catch up!”

Catherine leaned back lazily on the back seat of the car. Watching the childish actions of the three men, she couldn’t help but want to laugh.

The place where Triston hosted the banquet was the Charm Bar, which was also the largest entertainment venue in the entire Casier. Watching the vast group of people come in, Triston grinned happily.

Glancing around, he realized that all these people were related to Catherine. It went without saying who they had come for.

“Catherine, thank you for coming. You brought so many people here. I like it.

The more the merrier!”

Facing Triston with an oily look, Catherine was filled with disgust. Fortunately, she was used to being cold, and Triston didn’t dare to be reckless in front of her. With Branden, a big shot protecting her, who dared to make a scene in front of her?

If she were anyone else, Triston would have rushed up and given her a big hug first. Triston suddenly asked, “Everyone else came, but why didn’t your sister Audrey come?”

Upon hearing Audrey’s name, Catherine’s eyes flashed a hint of strangeness. And then she fixed her gaze on Triston’s face as she asked, ” 11 She has an event to attend tonight. Why? You’re dying for her to come?”

Triston replied generously, “Yes, of course. The more, the merrier, and Audrey has a good personality. I like being with friends who get along!”

His attitude was sincere and generous, and he had no guilty look. Upon seeing that, Catherine felt that the reason for the change in Audrey’s attitude just now could not be attributed to him.

But Triston, who finally returned to his senses after a while, looked at Catherine with a fearful; gaze.

“Catherine, why are you staring at me like that? Could it be…

Before he could finish his words, Catherine said, “You have a pimple on your face!” After saying that, Catherine sidled around Triston and entered the private room.

Triston had indeed had some insomnia during this time. After staying up late every day recently, he had a small pimple on his face. He didn’t expect Catherine to notice it..

He couldn’t help but ask himself, “Is it that obvious?”

Ronin followed Catherine into the private room. As he passed by Triston’s side, he ridiculed coldly, “Your pores are huge!”

“What…” Triston became angry. He stopped Bryan, who was walking at the end of the line, and put his arm around his shoulder threateningly. “Bryan, tell me. Do I look that bad?”

Bryan hated it when Triston spoke to him threateningly just because he was his uncle’s peer.

And what he couldn’t bear the most was when Triston called him “Bryan” in a disgusting tone. Triston refused to change even after Bryan had asked him many times. He was simply seeking death.

Bryan pushed Triston away with a look of disgust and said nonchalantly, “If you have time, wash your face more often!”

Triston froze instantly!

So, how bad did he look now? So many people had despised him!

Was his skin really hopeless? After entering the private room, Catherine realized that there were quite a few other people in it, and Aidan was there too.

But she didn’t pay much attention and walked along with Branden to sit at the seats. When he saw Catherine, Aidan was about to say hello, but his attention was drawn to Bryan behind him.

He turned his head toward Bryan. ”

Hey, yo. Bryan, right? I haven’t seen you in a few years. I can’t even recognize you!”

Bryan frowned tightly, his handsome face turning livid. How could so many of them try to suppress and bully him because of their seniority?

Aidan, however, kept talking as if he hadn’t noticed that Bryan was already angry. “You were only in elementary school when I went abroad, right? In the blink of an eye, you are so big now. It’s rare that you’re willing to follow your uncle today.”

He could remember Bryan being very rebellious from a young age. He was always fearless, and only his uncle Branden could suppress him.

But it was normal. After all, there was no one Branden could not suppress. Bryan glared at Aidan with dissatisfaction and denied instantly, “I followed Boss here, not my uncle!”

Aidan was deliberately making fun of Bryan, trying to piss him off for fun. He didn’t expect Bryan to give him such an answer and confuse him. ” Boss?”

His eyes swept over Branden and the group. He didn’t believe Bryan had the guts to challenge Branden, calling him

“Boss” instead of “Uncle.”

Could it be that the “Boss” Bryan referred to was the cute boy on the side with a backpack?

Branden’s expression changed when he heard the way Bryan addressed Catherine. His well-defined and slender fingers rubbed back and forth at the position of his chin.

He was thinking, “Maybe now is the time. I should find a time for Grandpa to teach Bryan the importance of honor and respect for the elder and the difference between the elder and the young.”

Bryan didn’t know that his uncle was planning to torture him, and he was still focused on expressing his displeasure toward Aidan.

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?"
