All Her Secrets Chapter 563 by Chestnut

Chapter 563 E-sports Competition

The scene was silent for at least a minute as if even the air froze instantly.

The several boys sitting directly before Catherine had almost identical expressions and movements. Their eyes and mouths were wide open as they stared straight in Catherine’s direction.

The one who came back to the senses first was Amelia. After all, she had been with Catherine for a while and was already somewhat familiar with Catherine’s striking looks. She wasn’t that surprised.

However, Amelia was still excited to see so many people marveling at Catherine’s appearance.

She lowered her voice and approached Catherine. She said, “Super Catherine, your appearance is truly stunning and amazing!”

Catherine glanced at her lightly. She coughed to clear her throat. Her sudden cough pulled back the drifting thoughts of those around her.

The boys lowered their heads one after another. They dared not to look directly at Catherine again. The female senior smiled awkwardly, but inwardly, she was thrilled.

She did not expect that she would accidentally find such two beautiful schoolgirls for the club. With the addition of these two schoolgirls, their club would have no worries about flourishing.

The female senior said to Catherine and Amelia, “Please take a seat. Our club is different from other clubs. The biggest characteristic of our club is that we don’t follow the rules. I’ll introduce you to the members of the club so that you can get to know each other.

“This is the president of our club.”

The boy mentioned had a simple and honest appearance. The skin on his face was smooth and clean. He wore a pair of black framed glasses, which made him look like a good student.

He took the initiative to stand up and greet Catherine and Amelia, “Hello, guys. My name is Franco Braun. I’m a junior in the engineering department.”

Catherine followed Amelia and responded to Franco, “Hi, Mr. Braun!”

The female senior mysteriously whispered to Catherine and Amelia, ” I’ll tell you a secret. Franco and Hero are in the same dormitory. Hero can definitely be considered a member of our club.”

Catherine had no interest in Hero at all. She looked very calm.

Amelia was different. She was so excited that she was about to jump up.

Looking at Amelia’s excited reaction, Franco felt a little proud inside. Hero was really a living sign for their club!

He looked at Catherine again. Seeing that Catherine did not show any interest in Hero, he could not help but be a little curious.

“Catherine, don’t you like Hero?”

Catherine did not expect Franco to ask her about it like this suddenly. She turned her head to him and replied, ” Yes!”

Her cold tone made Franco a little embarrassed.

He thought in his heart, ‘Her nature is so cold.’

Amelia sensed something was wrong with the two of them, so she tried to smooth things over quickly. “Mr. Braun, it’s not that Catherine doesn’t like Hero. That’s just her personality. She’s not interested in anything.

“She is completely focused on her studies, and I forced her to join the club. I just want her to interact with everyone more so that she can have a more outgoing personality!”

Amelia’s explanation instantly dissolved the awkwardness. Franco smiled and said, “It seems that Catherine should be a top student with excellent grades!”

Catherine did not respond.

Amelia rushed to answer, “Of course. Catherine is my idol when it comes to studies. She’s the top science student in Casier. She’s very good at her studies!

In the face of Amelia’s praise, Catherine’s expression remained indifferent. She still stood in her original position.

She did not seem arrogant or irritable but exuded a domineering aura.

At the Styre University, there were many top students. Everyone there was accustomed to the students with excellent studies and isolated personalities.

After all, at Styre University, a top school, students who focused on learning and neglected other things were too common.

“I see.”

When they were chatting, a member of the club suddenly shouted out, “Holy shit!”

The sudden sound instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Franco looked toward the club member who had yelled out. “Berg, what happened? Why are you shouting?”

Berg was the person’s nickname, and everyone in the club called him that.

“Mr. Braun, those guys from the University of Penny are initiating a challenge to us inside the public channel.”

Hearing Berg’s explanation, a member

shouted disdainfully, “So what? Berg, take it easy. It’s just such a small matter. It’s not worth shouting like that! Are we still afraid of the Penny Team?”

“Cut the crap. Let’s turn on the game, get online and fuck them off!”

Berg was so anxious that he patted his legs to explain, “It’s not like that. Their team has recently recruited new players, too. They recruited the striker of the League Team, and their morale has risen so much that they said they’re going to make us lose seven times in a row tonight!”

“The striker of the League Team? You mean Stanley?” Franco frowned at Berg.

Berg nodded. “That’s right. It’s him. Mr. Braun, why don’t we ask Hero to join us? With this kind of professional player like him joining them, we still need a good player to secure a win!”

Stanley was the League Team’s newly recruited striker. His playing style was particularly aggressive. He became famous not long after joining the team.

Although all of them were good at the game, they were only limited to playing against ordinary players. There was still a big gap between them and professional players.

Facing Berg’s proposal, Franco shook his head. “Hero is in closed training these days.”

Hearing this, Berg was a bit desperate.

“What are we going to do then? Wait to lose?”

Franco tried his best to act calm in order not to let his teammates suffer from low morale.

“Don’t be so demoralized. Who says we’re bound to lose? They said they would make us lose seven times in a row? The Penny Team is too arrogant.

“Let’s get online. Let’s go frustrate the Penny Team!”

They met such an intense scene on their first day joining the esports club. Amelia was a bit nervous and pulled on Catherine’s sleeve secretly.

“Super Catherine, is this going to be okay?”

Catherine glanced at her with a faint and cold look. She looked incomparably calm.

“Let’s take a look first.”

There were only four positions in the game team.

To facilitate better viewing for the rest of the club members, Franco projected his phone onto the large screen.

As soon as the players of the esports club got online, the Penny Team sent out an invitation to apply for a rivalry match.

They chose the entertainment mode, team killing!

The rules were simple. The team members could resurrect an unlimited number of times, and whichever team’s one member got 16 kills first, the team would be considered the winner.

Team scores would not be accumulated. Only individual scores were considered.

Everyone was familiar with this mode. Franco and his team also used this mode before, so they were particularly familiar with this map board.

As the team leader, after entering the. game, Franco started deploying.

“Berg, you three cover me. This mode is for combat. My ability to shoot is still good, so I’ll be the main player!”

Berg and the others naturally had no problem with that. After all, among the four of them, it was indeed Franco who was the best in the game.

While they were still deploying, the Penny Team had already started clamoring arrogantly.

“Franco, stop struggling. Just admit defeat voluntarily.”

The opponent’s sarcastic tone sounded very unpleasant, making them very uncomfortable.

Originally, playing the game was to have fun, but to the Penny Team, it became a symbol to show off their strength.

Although the Penny Team said harsh words, the esports club refused to admit being inferior to them.

“Let’s use our strength to tell us who will win. Penny Team, be careful. Don’t get a real walloping later!”

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?"
