Chapter 463 Monopolize the Property

Catherine glanced at her with a cold expression of disdain. Her wise eyes seemed to tell Audrey, ” How can you fool me with your poor tricks?”

Usually, as soon as Audrey returned, she would inevitably chatter incessantly and then collapse on the couch, screaming and complaining for a while.

As soon as she entered the door today, she had a worried and preoccupied expression and then slowly approached Catherine, sizing her up several times. Catherine wasn’t blind or stupid, so how could she not notice it?

Audrey timidly approached and told Catherine about Rachael’s visit to her this afternoon.

“Kathy, do you have any misunderstandings with our family? Why did Mom say that you have joined hands with outsiders to snatch our family’s money?”

Catherine was not surprised that Rachael went to Audrey about this matter. After all, it was possible for Rachael to do such a thing when she was desperate. Catherine looked at Audrey with a relaxed and leisurely expression. ”

According to her understanding, what she said was right.”

Audrey was really shocked now. She rushed toward Catherine in a hurry.

“Kathy, have you really taken action on the assets of the Swanns? What’s going on? Did Dad bully you again?”

Audrey’s first thought was not that Catherine would embezzle these assets, as Rachael said. In her opinion, Catherine would only fight back after she was hurt. Catherine squinted her eyes slightly, sizing Audrey up with interest.

“Aren’t you worried that I’m trying to monopolize all the money of the Swanns?”

Anyway, the Swanns were considered one of the four wealthiest families in Casier, and the little bit of wealth they casually allocated was the money that many people had never been able to earn in their entire lives.

Audrey shook her head without even thinking. “No one can snatch my things away, and I won’t snatch others’ things. What Grandpa should have given me has already been given to me, and the rest is given to you by Grandpa.

How you handle it is your business.”

Most importantly, Audrey thought Catherine was exceptionally powerful. It was definitely not good to hand over the Swanns to her, but it was different to hand it over to Catherine.

The stock price of the Swanns had recently skyrocketed, and even Kim came to inquire about it from her and asked if she had any internal information.

This was all thanks to Catherine.

“Kathy, what’s going on? If it’s Dad and the others bullying you, you must tell me. I will help you!”

Catherine initially didn’t want to tell Audrey about this, but she changed her mind after hearing what Audrey said.

She told Audrey about Korbin’s transfer of the Swanns’ property.

After listening in confusion, Audrey thought for a long time before roughly understanding the situation.

She was shocked by her father’s actions and didn’t expect him to do such a thing.

“Kathy, is Dad crazy? He’s also a member of the Swanns. How could he do such a thing?”

The Swanns had a century-old foundation, but their father’s actions were undoubtedly ruining the Swanns.

Catherine curled up her lips with a faint evil smile in her eyes.

“As long as the money is in his pocket, what does it matter if the Swanns’s century-long glory is still there?”

Most people were selfish and could do many unimaginable things for money. After listening to Catherine’s description, Audrey suddenly understood why their grandfather did not leave the assets of the Swanns to their father, but rather to Catherine.

Their grandfather was a wise man, and he knew his son very well.

Their grandfather must have known that their father would do anything for profit. For the sake of the Swanns’ century-old foundation, their grandfather entrusted Catherine with managing the Swanns’ property.

Audrey felt a little guilty when she thought that Catherine was younger than her but had to bear so much, and as the elder sister, she couldn’t do anything to help.

Audrey anxiously cautioned Catherine, “Kathy, I think Dad and Mom won’t stop. You’d better be careful. If there’s anything you want me to do, just let me know. I’ll help you.”

Hmph, even if they wouldn’t stop, so what?

Catherine had a cold and calm face. Korbin couldn’t pose any significant threat to her now.

“You just focus on your filming and be at ease. I’ll take care of the rest!”

Audrey still wanted to say something, but when she looked up and saw Catherine’s domineering and absolutely beautiful face, she silently closed her mouth.

Since she couldn’t help, she would listen to Catherine, who was never wrong.

Rachael suffered setbacks from Catherine, and seeing that Audrey was also so disobedient, she immediately became furious.

When she returned to the Swanns’, she immediately instructed the people under her command to ban Audrey. Since Audrey didn’t listen to her, she would make Audrey pay the price for her disobedience.

Rachael thought to herself, “Even if I can’t handle Catherine, can’t I even handle Audrey?”

Rachael had a dedicated secretary who was not only responsible for the business activities she usually attended but also helped her with some tasks.

Rachael asked the secretary to investigate the situation of Audrey’s agency and instructed the secretary to cancel all of Audrey’s activities to ban Audrey from the entertainment industry completely.

Was it not easy for their Swanns to ban a person in the entertainment industry?

The Swann Corporation invested in many advertisements yearly, supporting many celebrities who relied on endorsements for their livelihood so those agencies wouldn’t dare to offend them.

After hanging up the phone, Rachael’s mood finally improved, with a cheerful smile.

Since Audrey dared to go against her, Rachael would make Audrey return obediently and beg her to take her back. Then, she would let Audrey know what would happen when she did not listen to her parents.

Ten minutes later, the secretary called her back.

Rachael answered the call elegantly and said coldly, “Is everything done?”

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Swann!” The secretary’s apologetic voice came from the other end of the line.

Rachael’s brows instantly tightened.” What’s the situation?”

The secretary said warily, “Mrs. Swann, according to our investigation, the boss behind Miss Audrey’s agency has changed, and the other party is powerful. If we forcefully intervene, it may cause certain damage to us.”

“Who is it?” Rachael raised her volume, and her eyes became incomparably sharp. Were there still people that their Swanns could not afford to offend in Casier?

“It’s the heir of the Duncans, Branden! “the secretary whispered in response to Rachael.

The Swanns were remarkable in Casier, but there was still a big gap compared to the huge Duncans.

After understanding clearly who the opponent was, Rachael exploded completely. She threw the phone in her hand and smashed it to the floor, shattering it into pieces. The Duncans would not protect Audrey without reason.

Needless to say, it must be Catherine who was behind it.

Catherine was really a jinx. She would not feel good before she ruined the Swanns.

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?"
