Chapter 531 What Can You Do?

Calvin’s apology made Beatrice panic.

Now, she was fighting alone. The people around were all watching the fun. They couldn’t help her.

For the sake of her dignity, Beatrice had no choice but to cry and shout, ” Catherine, don’t go too far. You bully others based on good grades. Do you think that’s funny?”

Catherine sneered, and her playful eyes circled Beatrice’s body in disdain.

“Yeah, I find that’s funny. What can you do if I bully others?”

If she could do anything, would it be Catherine’s turn to question her like this?

Beatrice still didn’t give up and wanted to unite with the people around her to help her out.

Her eyes swept around, and wherever her eyes went, those people would subconsciously avoid her. They did not even dare to look at her, let alone speak up for her.

Ronin looked at Beatrice’s appearance and couldn’t help but urge, “Hey, you were quite arrogant when you forced others to apologize just now. How come when it was your turn, you were allowed to be a coward?

“If you dare to stand on the stage and apologize to Catherine, this could stop here!

“But if you still want to play tricks to frame people, don’t think of getting off the hook today. Moreover, even if I lose my degree today, I will fight with you to the end!”

Ronin’s seemingly plain words were full of domineering presence. Anyway, he came to Styre University to accompany Catherine, and it didn’t matter whether he had a degree or not.

Beatrice was really scared by Ronin’s words. Ronin didn’t look like he was lying at all. In order to keep her degree, Beatrice could only apologize.

“Catherine, since you have to embarrass me, then I will fulfill you!”

Looking at Beatrice’s decisive back, Ronin couldn’t help but complain.

“Catherine, I really can’t understand why she’s acting like this. She’s the one who should apologize, and she’s acting like she’s been wronged. Could she really get herself killed like she just threatened us with?”

Catherine glanced at Ronin calmly and curled the corners of her mouth slightly up into an evil smile.

“Forget it. There’s no way someone like her would commit suicide.”

Ronin nodded in agreement and turned to look at Amelia.

“I heard that you helped Catherine just now. Thank you!”

Ronin had always been arrogant and unrestrained, and nothing could keep him down. But as long as it was related to Catherine, he could do anything.

Amelia had spoken up for Catherine, and he had to thank Amelia politely.

Amelia had been staring at Ronin just now. She found that this person looked very handsome, even more so than those celebrities.

The most important thing was that Ronin had a domineering aura. He looked young, but his momentum was so powerful. His appearance was a great contrast to his personality, and Amelia liked this very much.

Now that she heard Ronin talking to her, Amelia’s ears were burning unconsciously.

She avoided looking at Ronin and lowered her head. “Catherine is my roommate, and I’m just telling the truth. Besides, I admire Catherine very much. This is normal, and you don’t need to thank me,” she whispered.

Ronin didn’t notice Amelia’s strangeness at all. He only heard Amelia say that she admired Catherine.

He couldn’t help but feel proud and said, “Yes, Catherine is so awesome. Anyone with proper judgment would admire her!”

Catherine was like a god in Ronin’s heart and was much worshipped by him.

Seeing Ronin still chattering, Catherine frowned slightly and whispered, ” Shouldn’t you go back?”

Her cold tone suddenly diluted Ronin’s passion.

“Okay, Catherine, I’m leaving right now!” said Ronin. The long and boring freshman meeting finally ended with the principal’s final speech.

After a two-hour break at noon, they had to attend a pre-physical training meeting at 2 p.m.

It could almost be said that the school didn’t even give the freshmen a chance to catch their breath. They all complained, but no one could change the rules of the school.

As soon as they were dismissed, Ronin rushed to find Catherine.

“Catherine, let’s go. I know there’s a good restaurant around here. I’ll take you there for lunch!”

“Uh-huh.” Catherine nodded casually, already accustomed to Ronin’s various arrangements.

However, Amelia suddenly approached them. She was in the same class as Catherine, so she noticed Ronin when he came over.

“Catherine, let’s have lunch together before going back to the dormitory.”

Hearing Amelia’s proposal, Ronin was a little displeased.

He finally could have a meal with Catherine, but why was she disrupting his plan?

But in the light of Amelia’s performance in the morning, Ronin didn’t say much and left it to Catherine to decide.

Anyway, it was all about grabbing a meal. Catherine didn’t have a problem with one more person coming along.

Therefore, the three went together. Ronin took Catherine and Amelia to a fast food restaurant at the end of the student center, which looked small but very clean.

The restaurant was targeted at students, so the prices were relatively low. With Ronin around, Catherine didn’t even need to order.

Amelia, who was at the side, watched this scene with envy. “It’s truly a blessing to have such a thoughtful person helping to service around,” she thought.

Amelia took a bite of the food and said in amazement, “Wow, it’s delicious. It has only been three days since I’ve been here and this is the best meal I’ve ever had. Ronin, how did you find this place? 11

Being praised, Ronin looked proud.

“You’ve only been here three days ago, but I arrived half a month earlier. I’ve eaten all the restaurants within a radius of six miles, so I naturally know which one is the best.”

Amelia gave him a thumbs-up and looked at him in admiration. ”

Awesome. You’re really a foodie!”

“It’s not like that. I just want Catherine to have the best food. As for myself, it doesn’t matter.” Ronin shrugged casually, seeming genuinely unconcerned about the food.

Seeing this scene, Amelia was a little surprised. She tried her best to control her emotions and asked cautiously,” Ronin, forgive me if it seems as if I am trying to gossip. Are you pursuing Catherine?”

Ronin looked at Amelia in surprise. His eyes seemed to ask Amelia, “How could you have such an idea?”

“Girl, you think too much. How can I be compared to Catherine? Catherine is perfect in my heart, understand?”

Amelia would have told that, but she still felt that Ronin and Catherine were getting too close.

“Is it possible that Ronin has a crush on Catherine?” Amelia wondered.

Catherine looked at Ronin, who she had brought up since childhood, and felt a headache.

“He has a good IQ but lacking in EQ,” she thought.

She raised her eyebrows at Amelia and calmly explained, “We’re sort of like brother and sister, understand?”

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?"
