Chapter 212 Teach Me a Lesson

In Class 8, there was a commotion going on. However, this only happened when Catherine wasn’t taking a break. Whenever she rested her head on the desk, Class 8 would become quiet, and no one dared to speak.

Catherine never specified this rule, but everyone just accepted it. Now, Catherine was playing games, and the atmosphere in the classroom became lively. David and the others gathered around Bryan, making a lot of noise.

“Hey, Bryan, I’ve been hearing you hum this tune for the past few days, and it sounds really good. How about singing it for us?”

With the competition approaching, Bryan didn’t dare to waste time. He was the weakest among the three of them, so how could he afford to be lazy? If it weren’t for his talent, he probably wouldn’t even qualify to be in the group. Catherine was talented, and Ronin was also impressive. They didn’t need too much training.

As for Bryan, he had always been a top- notch talent, and he had never experienced this kind of torment before. In order to not hold his teammates back, he had to give his all. Therefore, he practiced whenever he had the time, never slacking off.

David and the others had been listening to Bryan practice all along. At first, they didn’t think much of it, but unexpectedly, they became fascinated by it.

Now they were begging Bryan to perform the complete version. Bryan pushed away David with disdain. “Get lost. Can’t you see I’m busy?”

David persistently begged Bryan. He had already told his friends that he could ask Bryan to perform it again. With his relationship with Bryan, there shouldn’t be a problem.

“Bryan, consider this practice, okay? How about we go to the cathedral? It will be the competition venue, and I’ve already secured a spot for you. You can treat it as a trial.”

Bryan glanced at him. “Well, well, well, David, you’re a little bold, aren’t you? Making decisions for me, huh? Do you think we need a rehearsal or practice?”

David smiled, trying to please him. “Of course not! Your skills speak for themselves. Bryan, just pity us a little and practice once for us!”

“That’s right!” Everyone chimed in. Bryan finally realized that these people had come prepared, fearing that they would keep annoying him if he refused. Coincidentally, Catherine finished her game, so Bryan approached her cautiously, seeking her opinion.

“Boss, do you want us to give it a try? David is right. It would be good to familiarize ourselves with the stage!”

After saying that, Bryan looked cautiously at Catherine. He didn’t know what she was thinking because he knew that she always insisted on not rehearsing.

In fact, Catherine didn’t resist rehearsing. She simply felt it was unnecessary. Although she was playing games just now, she heard everything David and the others said to Bryan. Since they liked it so much, then they would practice. Catherine narrowed her eyes and said, Sure!” ”

The moment she agreed, everyone around them erupted in excitement. David and the others even cheered happily, “Boss is the best!”

So, a group of people marched towards the school’s cathedral. This cathedral was donated to the school by outstanding alumni and was extremely magnificent. It was usually treated as a church, but on special occasions, it would become a performance venue.

The stage of the celebration gala would be held here, so many students who participated in the competition wanted to practice here.

Every day, the place was packed, and David and the others had already made reservations in advance just to be able to hear Catherine’s group rehearse. While most people would book a time slot, they directly booked the entire afternoon, showing off their influence.

Liana brought Jessica into the cathedral and reported to the registrar in charge of rehearsal planning for the cathedral, intending to use the stage for rehearsal in the afternoon. However, they were told that the entire afternoon was fully booked.

Liana and Jessica were unhappy. They were used to not having to wait in line. They could use the cathedral whenever they wanted because the administrators here were familiar with Nash and would always give priority to Liana.

Liana was unwilling to accept this. They had already come all the way here, so how could they just go back like this?

“Are there so many people rehearsing in the afternoon? The entire time slot is occupied?”

The registrar shook his head. “Not really, although all the slots are booked, there’s only one group rehearsing. Why don’t you go and negotiate with them?”

Hearing the registrar’s words, Jessica was not only angry but also surprised. ” One group occupying the entire afternoon? Who are they?”

“Liana, let’s go take a look. I want to know who these guys are!” Jessica was extremely angry. She didn’t expect that there were people even more powerful than them.

Liana also didn’t want to accept this, but she kept her composure. After all, with Jessica around, it was necessary for Liana to throw a fit. Liana and Jessica arrived in front of the stage and were shocked by the people on the stage.

On the stage, Catherine was helping Bryan tune his guitar. Even though she had her back facing the crowd, her arrogant and wicked demeanor was still recognizable at a glance.

At first, Jessica wasn’t too angry, but when she saw that the person standing on the stage was Catherine, she instantly became furious. “Who does this woman think she is?” she exclaimed inwardly.

Liana stood by the side, clenching her fists. Her fingers turned white with anger. She whispered to Jessica, “It’s Catherine. Well, we should leave. Let her practice. It increases her chances of winning the championship!”

Jessica pushed Liana’s hand away, looked at her with a face full of anger, and said, “Liana, you can’t be too lenient. I know you are a kind girl, but you can’t let her be so arrogant!”

After saying that, Jessica angrily stepped onto the stage, picked up the microphone, and called out to Catherine, “I’m talking to you, Catherine Swann. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate to monopolize the stage for the entire afternoon?”

Catherine had just finished tuning the guitar. When she heard the voice, she turned her head to look at the person. If she remembered correctly, this girl was Liana’s new “best friend”.

After examining Jessica for a second, Catherine rolled her eyes disdainfully. It seemed like birds of a feather flocked together. Seeing Catherine’s expression, Jessica became even angrier. She gritted her teeth and stared at Catherine in frustration.

“What’s with your attitude? Today, you must give me an explanation about the stage. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson! Catherine crossed her arms and looked at Jessica with a cold gaze.

“Who do you think you are? Why do you think I owe you an explanation? Come on. Teach me a lesson now!”

As Catherine said this, Ronin and Bryan had already put down their instrument and stood behind Catherine, staring coldly at Jessica.

Ronin sighed inwardly. “Ah, here we go again. Why would these idiots keep bothering Boss? Are they insane?”

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?"
