Chapter 261 Exclusive Information

“What do you want to eat?” The man leaned against the window and sat looking at Catherine. He had a cold face, and his dark black eyes were filled with doting.

Catherine had been eating barbecue almost daily lately and already felt slightly tired of it. She suddenly missed some simple home -cooked meals. “I want to eat those dishes you made the other day!”

“Okay!” The man responded softly, then ordered Paxton, “Go to the apartment!”

“Okay!” Paxton immediately responded, changed direction at the fork in the road, and rerouted to the apartment.

Paxton couldn’t see Catherine and Branden’s expressions through the fender, but Branden’s doting tone just now made him a bit panic. His hands were still shaking as he gripped the steering wheel.

So, Branden had now become a cooking tool?

Alas, the world might be about to change. Bryan followed them in his car and felt strange to see them suddenly change lanes.

“Are they going to change direction?”

Triston, who was driven to this car, saw through Branden’s thoughts at a glance. After all, they had been brothers for so many years, and he knew Branden more or less. He said slowly, “Alas, there’s no need to ask. They’re going home to romance and don’t want to take us with them!”

Ronin glanced at the street sign. The direction Branden’s car went was the direction back to the apartment. He said with some reluctance, “Maybe Boss is tired and needs to rest. She didn’t sleep much in class today!”

Rarely, Bryan didn’t refute him but echoed, “It makes sense!”

Triston suggested generously, “Since they don’t want to have dinner with us, let’s go by ourselves. Let’s have barbecues together and go on a spree. My treat!”

He finished speaking those words happily but only to find that no one was paying any attention to him. Yesenia put on a long face when she heard she could not have dinner with Catherine.

“Bryan, pull over to the side of the road!

Bryan complied and pulled over to a parking spot on the roadside. Yesenia couldn’t wait to get out of the car just as the car came to a stop.

“I’m going back by myself.”

After that, Ronin also got out of the car. Without Catherine, he wasn’t interested in having dinner with these people. Seeing that they were getting off, Triston was a bit anxious. “Hey, why are you all gone?”

As a result, no one cared about him, so he could only turn his face to Bryan. Unexpectedly, Bryan glanced at him and said coldly, “Your home and mine are not on the same road.”

This was clearly a rejection of him!

In the end, Triston was driven out of the car. Standing alone on the roadside, he cursed at Bryan’s car, “Why are all the Duncans so bad?”

Catherine followed Branden back to the apartment. Because Audrey was not there, she went straight into Branden’s apartment.

Branden pushed a snack cart over and placed it in front of her. “I’m going to make dinner. If you’re hungry, eat some nuts first.”

Watching a cart full of snacks with a wide variety and seemingly expensive prices, Catherine was somewhat surprised.

“I thought you didn’t eat snacks?” As far as she could remember, Branden never seemed to eat snacks.

He only ate candy to coax her, and she put the candy in his mouth forcibly. At that time, his expression was a bit unforgettable to her. The man had a warm smile, and the aura emanating from his body was indescribably gentle.

“Because I have you!”

Catherine froze momentarily, and a faint smile grew on her exquisitely cold face. She turned her head to look at Branden. With her beautiful eyes shining brightly, she sized him up with interest and said flirtatiously, “I don’t like snacks either. What should we do?”

Knowing that she was saying that on purpose, Branden cooperated and said, “Please take a bite for my sake!”

Catherine reached out to pinch a nut and put it in her mouth. After that, she rested her cheeks on one hand and looked at Branden with interest. The ends of her eyes were slightly upturned on her pretty face.

“Okay, I’ll take a bite for the sake of Mr. Duncan!”

Her tone was evil, wild, and provocative. Branden reached out and stroked her head. “Good girl!”

Catherine glanced at the laptop placed aside and asked, “Can I use it?”

“Feel free to use it. I’ll cook dinner. Food will be ready soon!” After saying that, Branden turned around and walked into the kitchen. On the other hand, Catherine used Branden’s laptop to deal with the work of the base.

She had upgraded the chip to another version during this time, and it was still in the testing phase, so she had to catch up on her work.

Time passed quickly, and Branden soon came out from inside the kitchen with the dishes. Catherine was still in front of the laptop with a deep look on her face.

Her serious look instantly made Branden a bit dumbfounded. A saying suddenly flashed through his mind, “People who work hard are the most beautiful!”

At that moment, Catherine was so beautiful, and it made him forget to breathe. His hot gaze made Catherine stop her work and look up. Seeing her raise her head, Branden raised the food in his hand to signal that it was time for dinner.

“Food is ready!”

“Okay!” Catherine responded and happily turned off the laptop, following the aroma of the food to the table.

It was a simple three dishes and one soup. There was veggie chili, which looked spicy, but Catherine loved it. When she went to the spicy food restaurant with Branden, she ordered and ate a lot of it. Maybe that was why this dish appeared on the table tonight!

After dinner, Catherine took the empty plates and was ready to put them in the sink, but Branden held her down.

“Leave it to me. You can continue to use the laptop. The guest room remains the same, so you can rest first if you’re tired!”

“Okay!”

Catherine answered and went into the guest room with the laptop in hand. Audrey was in the hospital, and it seemed she would still stay here tonight.

After arriving at the guest room, Catherine sent Ronin the chip information that had just been tested. Just as Ronin received it, the phone she put aside rang. Catherine picked it up casually and placed it beside her ear. Ronin’s excited voice came from the receiver.

“Boss, I thought you were rushing home to rest, but I didn’t expect you were rushing to work. The data from the first phase of chip testing is available now. It’s so quick. Boss, you’re simply God!”

“Cut the crap, put the stuff away, and arrange to go for testing!”

Catherine’s tone and attitude were cold, but Ronin had long gotten used to it and didn’t mind.

“Boss, don’t worry. Leave all this to me. But Boss, do you have an intended target yet? If the news of our successful new generation chip test is released, the outside world will definitely fight.”

Their chips were at the top level and in a leading position worldwide. The world’s top industry giants all had come to them with money to beg for chips.

If the news that the new generation of chips was about to be successfully developed was released, there might be another bloody storm.

Ronin even suspected that the reason why their base’s website was constantly being attacked before had something to do with this as well. Catherine swept a glance at the laptop placed in front of her.

She said slowly with a soft voice, ” Release the news to the Duncan Corporation!”

“The Duncan Corporation?” Ronin subconsciously raised his volume, and the shock between his words was hard to hide. “Boss, You’re giving them exclusive information!

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?"
