Chapter 557 Gaming Adonis

Zobber was focusing on completing the new mission Catherine assigned her, with no spare time to gossip.

The holiday had come to an end, and Catherine returned to school. After Beatrice left, the dorm room seemed more spacious and comfortable.

As soon as Catherine entered the room, she saw Amelia sitting on a chair with her feet propped up. Amelia was watching a live-streaming video on her computer.

Hearing the sound, Amelia turned her head and saw Catherine. She waved at Catherine excitedly and asked, ” Catherine, do you play the mobile game ‘PlayerUnknown’s Storms?'”

Catherine nodded slightly. She had indeed been playing that mobile game recently.

Amelia looked down on Isabella for being a bookworm and not playing games. Seeing Catherine nod, Amelia became extremely excited and quickly introduced her new idol.

“Catherine, since you play this game, you must know the top player, Hero. He’s become very popular on the internet, not only because he’s good at the game, but also because he’s incredibly handsome. He’s been dubbed ‘Gaming Adonis’ by his fans.”

Amelia excitedly pointed at the computer screen, almost dragging the man from inside the computer out and presenting him in front of Catherine.

Considering Amelia’s excessive excitement, Catherine glanced up at the computer screen.

Indeed, there was a pretty handsome face displayed on the screen.

The young man did have a handsome face. He had a refined oval face, a prominent nose, and three- dimensional facial features. He looked truly alluring.

Catherine took a quick glance and noticed the nameplate placed on the table. It was “Hero.”

For the past few days, there had been a player with the same name constantly sending her friend requests in the game.

Catherine had never accepted any of his requests. She never friended people she wasn’t familiar with.

Catherine’s lack of interest didn’t diminish Amelia’s enthusiasm. She continued to talk non-stop, introducing her new idol.

“Catherine, let me tell you, Hero is not only amazing at gaming, but he’s also incredibly intelligent. He’s in the same university as us. It’s said that he got accepted into Styre University this year. And because he’s participating in the competition, the school has granted him an exemption from physical training. Isn’t that amazing?”

Catherine didn’t say anything, as she had no interest in these gaming celebrities. Faced with Amelia’s enthusiasm, she just wanted to rest.

At the Golden Star Training Center, Hero’s teammates noticed that Hero was still staring blankly at his phone, which made them curious.

“Cap, hasn’t that mysterious player friended you yet?”

Hero furrowed his brow and remained silent. He had sent countless friend requests, but there was no response. He also noticed that the mysterious player hadn’t been online recently. He had checked this player’s game record and realized that she had only played a few dozen matches this season, which didn’t seem like the record of a professional player.

If this player was just an ordinary player, then they must have been an incredibly talented one. Having someone like them on the team would undoubtedly enhance their chances of winning the competition.

Knowing Hero’s dilemma, his teammates decided to give him some advice.

“Cap, I don’t think it will be difficult to find this person.”

Hero immediately looked up at his teammate. “Do you know this player?”

The teammate shook his head and said, “Of course not. If I knew such an amazing player, I would have bragged about it every day. Jacob is a computer genius at Styre University. We can trace this player’s location based on the IP address. Once we have the location, it should be much easier to find this player.”

Hero agreed with this idea. Even though it seemed a bit intrusive to invade someone’s privacy, in order to find this talent, he was willing to give it a try. Once he had made up his mind, he immediately stood up. “I’ll go talk with Jacob about it.”

In the female dormitory at Styre University, the sound of an alarm clock woke up the sleeping residents.

Isabella was always the first one up, followed by Amelia, and finally Catherine.

Unlike the other two, although Catherine woke up the latest, she was the quickest to leave. She was efficient and swift in her actions. With a simple tidying up, she could be ready to go.

As Catherine was about to leave, Amelia quickly called out to her, “Catherine, wait!”

Catherine turned around. Amelia pulled out a book and handed it to her. ” Catherine, your book. I went to pick it up for you yesterday.”

Catherine glanced down and reached out to accept it, saying softly, “Thanks.

This kind of thing was always taken care of by Ronin, and Catherine had never picked up her own books before. When she was at Loyalty Academy, her backpack was always kept in the drawer, with books from various subjects inside.

The way classes were conducted in college was a bit different, with no fixed classrooms. Depending on the course, students had to bring their own books to school for each class.

If it weren’t for Amelia’s reminder, Catherine would have just walked straight to the classroom like that.

Watching Catherine’s departing figure, Amelia couldn’t help but squint her eyes and turn to Isabella behind her.

“Bella, don’t you think Catherine has a great presence? She’s so cool when she said ‘thanks’ just now.”

Isabella chuckled and grabbed Amelia’s hand. “Alright, stop daydreaming and go to class. I don’t want to be late.”

Catherine walked downstairs and saw Ronin already waiting there. Holding a delicate food container, he rushed up to Catherine.

“Catherine, your breakfast.”

The lid of the food container was transparent, through which Catherine could see the delicious breakfast inside. All of it was her favorite, perfectly suited to her taste.

Catherine reached out and took it, asking in return, “Did you eat?”

“I did,” Ronin replied without hesitation. He had woken up at five in the morning just to prepare breakfast for Catherine. He knew that she wouldn’t be accustomed to the breakfast in the cafeteria. Since he was accompanying her to university, he had to take care of her from every aspect.

As for himself, he would just eat an egg later.

Ronin caught sight of the book in Catherine’s hand and widened his eyes in surprise.

“Catherine, you went to pick up the books yourself?”

He hadn’t known about this before. It was after his roommate told him that he knew he had to go pick up the books himself. After picking up his own books, he went to Catherine’s class and picked up her books as well.

Catherine raised the book in her hand and said, “Amelia picked them up for me.”

Hearing Catherine’s response, Ronin felt a little unhappy. His job had been taken over again. But it was a good thing. Catherine’s roommates weren’t annoying and were willing to take care of her.

Ronin was happy that Catherine seemed satisfied with the breakfast he had prepared.

“Catherine, I’ll accompany you to class.

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?"
