Chapter 267 He Won’t Die

Under Catherine’s relentless barrage of questions, Liana was left speechless. Her eyes widened, and despite her anger, she had no way to counter.

Catherine raised another crucial question. She looked at Liana with cold eyes as she interrogated, “We’re not trailing behind Johnathan. How could we possibly know what happened to him? If Johnathan had an accident, shouldn’t you have informed us immediately?

“You didn’t even call us. You just storm into the hospital room to interrogate us. “What are you trying to achieve, Liana? Catherine’s words left Liana with no opportunity to respond.

She didn’t expect her ulterior motives to be so transparent to Catherine, and she certainly didn’t anticipate Catherine publicly confronting her like this. It left her speechless.

As Audrey watched the two of them face off, she felt a headache coming on. She didn’t think Liana was intentionally trying to achieve something. She thought Liana was just overly concerned about Johnathan.

“Alright. Stop arguing.”

After Audrey calmed Catherine down, she shifted her focus to Liana. “Liana, how is Johnathan now? Have our parents arrived? What’s the situation?”

Before Liana could answer, Audrey continued, “Never mind. Asking so many questions won’t help. Let’s see him together. It’s a big deal, and we can’t just stand here.”

After Liana heard that Audrey wanted to visit Johnathan, Liana’s expression changed slightly. However, she quickly regained her composure. She looked at Audrey with disdain, and her voice was laced with sarcasm.

“You weren’t in a hurry when it happened, and now you’re pretending to care? We don’t need you to visit.”

With those words, Liana turned and walked out of the hospital room. Her face darkened. Audrey became increasingly uneasy as she thought about the situation. She slowly got up from the bed and intended to follow Liana, but Catherine stopped her with a firm hand.

Catherine stared calmly at Audrey with her cold eyes and asked, “Are you giving up on your hand?”

Audrey had been highly cautious during this time to ensure proper wound healing and prevent hypertrophic scarring. She avoided any unnecessary movements that might disturb her wound.

She understood Catherine’s concern. But given the current situation with Johnathan’s accident, Audrey, as the elder sister, felt it was necessary to visit him.

Audrey looked at Catherine worriedly and tried to persuade her earnestly. She said, “Kathy, Johnathan’s life is hanging in the balance right now. We’re both his sisters. We should go see him together.”

Catherine glanced at Audrey with mockery.

“He won’t die.”

Audrey sensed a calmness in Catherine’s tone and found it strange.

“Kathy, do you know something?”

Catherine hadn’t initially planned to reveal anything, as she didn’t see the necessity. However, Audrey’s attitude made her reconsider.

“I heard that Johnathan’s car accident wasn’t severe. He just had a leg fracture and was operated on by one of the top surgeons at Mercy Hospital. The surgery was very successful. He’s young, so he should recover in two or three months.”

Although Audrey hadn’t personally verified the information, she trusted Catherine’s words. Audrey felt relieved that Johnathan wasn’t in grave danger and had only suffered a leg fracture.

She pursed her lips and complained in frustration, “Why did Liana make it sound so serious? She got me all panicked.”

Catherine thought inwardly, “If Liana didn’t make it sound serious, could she have fooled you?”

However, Catherine kept this to herself, as there was no need to share such thoughts with Audrey.

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?"
