Chapter 243 Jessica Was Humiliated

Bryan thought he had arranged things. properly. Unexpectedly, the accident happened. At noon time, Catherine went with Bryan and the others to the school’s cafeteria for lunch.

The cafeteria chefs in the school were all very good chefs, and the executive chef was a senior chef.

If one went there once in a while, one would feel that the food there tasted good.

As soon as Catherine entered the cafeteria, she saw a group of girls gathered not far away. The reason why her attention was directed at them was because she knew several of the girls.

The one sitting was Yesenia, the one standing next to her with a big smile on her face was Jessica, and the one on the other side was Liana. Noticing Catherine’s pause, Bryan followed her gaze and spotted Yesenia as well.

He frowned slightly and made the suggestion immediately. “Boss, how about we go to a restaurant outside for lunch?”

“No need.”

Catherine responded casually before striding toward the food. The group of girls was too insignificant to make her change her decision.

The girls were talking and laughing. If someone got close and overheard their conversation, they would find these girls flattering Yesenia, especially Jessica.

The Freemans had recently had business dealings with the branch of the Duncans, which was managed by Yesenia’s father.

It was impossible for the Freemans to get close to Branden, but it was a great thing to do business with the Duncans. So Jessica began to work hard to please Yesenia.

“Do you guys know that? Yesenia is a real princess growing up in a wealthy family. She is the only girl in the younger generation of the Duncans. She’s a treasure that everyone in the Duncans holds in their palms. It’s really enviable.”

After saying that, Jessica put her hand on Yesenia’s shoulder intentionally, giving others a feeling that she and Yesenia were very close to each other.

The surrounding girls, except Liana, all cast envious gazes toward Jessica. She was of the same kind as Jessica. She knew Jessica’s purpose at the moment better than Jessica herself.

In Casier, there was no one who didn’t know the Duncans, and there was no one who didn’t want to establish a relationship with the Duncans.

Although Yesenia was not a descendant of the main branch of the Duncans, as Jessica said, she was the only girl in the younger generation of the Duncans.

Unlike ordinary wealthy families who prioritized sons over daughters, the Duncans were already strong enough to completely disregard the view of prioritizing sons over daughters.

When a thing was scarce, it was precious. Since Yesenia was the only girl in the younger generation of the Duncans, she was naturally loved by the Duncans.

Everyone treated her as the pearl of the Duncans. All the other girls were also thinking of building a relationship with Yesenia.

“Jessica, you’re so close to Ms. Duncan!

“Ms. Duncan, are you suddenly transferring to our school just to find your friend Jessica?”

Faced with a barrage of questions, Yesenia was annoyed to death. She didn’t expect her unintentional action to cause herself so much trouble.

She had approached Bryan at first, wanting him to lead her to Super Catherine, but Bryan simply ignored her and threatened her. In anger, she thought of Jessica.

Jessica was the follower who stuck to Loraine every day. Yesenia remembered that Loraine was also in this school. Unexpectedly, as soon as Jessica heard. that Yesenia transferred here after they met, Jessica greeted her warmly and said she could take her around the school.

Originally, Yesenia thought she could stroll around for a while since it was not yet time for classes to end.

She didn’t expect that she had actually become a tool for Jessica to show off. Yesenia couldn’t help but roll her eyes for a moment.

In her heart, she secretly thought, ” Why is Jessica so stupid? No wonder Bryan and the others don’t like her. “I was so blind to think she was nice.

“She is a world apart from Super Catherine.”

Just as Yesenia was glancing around in boredom, she suddenly saw a familiar figure. Her eyes lit up in an instant and she became excited.

She stood up without hesitation and rushed toward the figure. Sensing someone running toward her, Catherine sidestepped subconsciously. Catherine’s sudden movement made Yesenia unable to react in time and almost fell to the floor.

Fortunately, Catherine, who was behind her, suddenly reached out and grabbed her collar with one hand. She pulled her back forcefully.

Yesenia turned back toward Catherine after she stabilized herself, her eyes filled with tears of excitement. “Oh my goodness, Super Catherine. You saved me again.”

Her pious look would make those who didn’t know the situation think that she owed Catherine a big life-saving favor! Catherine frowned at the happy Yesenia in front of her. “Aren’t you in Women’s College?”

Yesenia was overjoyed to see that Catherine was willing to talk to her. If anyone else had mentioned Women’s College to her, she would have gotten angry. But Catherine was different.

In Yesenia’s mind, Super Catherine was concerned of her. Yesenia smiled. Her bright eyes sparkled with excitement as she looked at Catherine excitedly.

“Super Catherine, I went back last night, begged my Grandpa all night, and promised to enter the top ten list this semester. Only then did Grandpa help me persuade Uncle Branden to agree to transfer me to this school.”

The Duncans treated girls quite differently than boys. They doted on girls very much. That was why Yesenia didn’t do well in school. Seeing that she dared to make such a promise and begged all night, Karl promised her.

What Yesenia didn’t know was that Branden’s promise to transfer her to this school was not becasue he was moved by her promise, but because he saw her admiration for Catherine. Letting her go to this school wouldn’t cause trouble for Catherine, so he nodded and made it happen.

“Super Catherine, I did the transfer paperwork overnight and I came early in the morning. Do you think I’m a good student?”

Yesenia’s big watery eyes looked straight at Catherine, with a look that begged for praise.

After understanding the course of events, Catherine said expressionlessly, “Mmm.” After that, she turned her head to continue ordering food, not paying any attention to Yesenia at all.

Jessica and the girls came hurriedly. When Yesenia suddenly stood up and ran away just now, none of them reacted. They were surprised that Yesenia actually came to this school for Catherine!

Seeing Catherine’s attitude toward Yesenia, Jessica couldn’t help but spit out, “She’s so arrogant. How dare she be so mean to Ms. Duncan and show such disgust? Does she really consider herself a god and think that everyone has to praise her?”

After saying that, she immediately said to Yesenia warmly, “Yesenia, let’s ignore this jinx. Seeing her makes me sick. Let’s go over there and enjoy our lunch!”

Without waiting for Catherine to make a move, Yesenia flung Jessica away. Jessica lost her balance. If it weren’t for Liana helping her, she would have fallen to the floor.

She looked at Yesenia in surprise. Unexpectedly, Yesenia’s attitude was even more aggressive than hers. Yesenia glared at her and cursed, ” Watch your words! Don’t you know how to speak properly?

“You’re the one who makes me sick. Look at your sycophantic behavior. You should get a mirror and see what you look like!”

Jessica clenched her hands into fists and looked at Yesenia with shock on her face. She didn’t expect Yesenia to treat her like this.

Being humiliated in front of everyone,, Jessica was so furious that she struggled to prepare for a counterattack.

Yesenia, who was unruly and capricious, wasn’t inferior to Ronin when it came to fighting. Once again, she verbally assaulted Jessica, leaving her have no way to fight back.

In the end, Yesenia emphasized righteously, “Remember, I’m not friends with you. I transferred here for Super Catherine. Beware of me if I ever hear you denigrate my Super Catherine again.

“Don’t forget that your family is still relying on my dad to get rich!”

Hearing these words, Jessica’s face turned pale with fear. Her thoughts of retorting were completely stifled. Yesenia was right. The Freemans were still counting on the Duncans to get rich. Jessica couldn’t afford to offend the Duncans.

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?"
