Chapter 592 Head of the Five Families

At the Facers, Catherine once again met the once-dominant Conor.

Conor, who had just celebrated his birthday, was in high spirits as he sat in the garden pavilion leisurely drinking coffee.

When he heard footsteps coming, he did not turn around. He said majestically, “Miss Swann, hi! Please have a seat!”

Troy accompanied Catherine all the way. Hearing Conor’s command, he took the initiative to help Catherine pull out the chair and asked Catherine to take a seat.

Catherine bent down and sat down. She acted very naturally. Conor poured out the coffee he had brewed in his hand and made a new one for Catherine.

“Miss Swann, I’m curious if you know how to make coffee. Drip coffee needs to be brewed for a longer period of time so that it can have a purer flavor. There’s no rush!”

If one was familiar with Conor, one would definitely know that there was something in his words.

Catherine naturally knew what he meant. But she did not have to pay attention to him.

So, Conor was saying what he wanted to say, while Catherine played her own game. They did not interfere with each other.

Seeing her in this natural and unpretentious look, Conor laughed out loud. “Haha, your grandfather and I knew each other in our youth as well. You really do have a bit of his early style.

“Here, have some coffee!”

After slightly curling her fingers and tapping on the tabletop, Catherine lifted her coffee cup and took a sip. After putting down the coffee cup, she slowly spoke up.

“Is that so? My grandpa never said I looked like him. He said I was an anomaly in the Swanns.”

Hearing this, Conor burst out laughing.

Troy had been waiting on the side. He had no idea what Conor was thinking about.

The company’s affairs were urgent. He wondered how Conor was still in the mood to chat with Catherine so leisurely.

When Conor did not speak, Catherine did not continue the conversation and just spent time on her cell phone.

Conor let out a long sigh after he sized up Catherine enough. He said in a deep voice, “Vicente is so lucky. Although his son is ordinary, his granddaughter is amazing!”

Among the next generation of these people who were on par back then, few could surpass them.

The same went for Conor. His two sons were quite mediocre.

He was not as lucky as Vicente and Karl, whose sons were not competitive, but their grandchildren were top-notch.

Catherine was quiet and did not say anything as she waited for Conor to continue. Conor took back his drifting thoughts.

His expression was calm and his gaze at Catherine suddenly became more serious.

“Tell me your conditions!” Conor said coldly.

He finally got to the point.

Catherine put down her crossed legs. Straightening herself slightly, she looked up at Conor.

“Mr. Facer, it wasn’t me who wanted to trouble the Grelin Group and the Facers. It was your granddaughter who hand-delivered something to me, forcing me to accept it!”

Although Catherine’s words were infuriating, Conor had to admit that Catherine was telling the truth.

It was indeed his granddaughter Jada who was too stupid to send the company’s interests to Catherine’s hands, and it would make Catherine appear stupid if she did not take it.

Catherine wanted to propose her conditions without hesitation. After all, she did not need to be soft when dealing with outsiders.

“I heard that the Facers bought an island up north two years ago!”

Conor calmly nodded and said, “We’ll give the island to you!”

Catherine curled her lips gently and as she raised her eyebrows. A strange smile appeared in her eyes. “There’s no rush. I’m curious if you have the final say in Grelin Group’s project in Casier.”

“We’ll give it to you, too!”

As Conor said this, his sigh was obviously longer.

Both for the Facers and the Grelin Group, the losses this time were heavy.

“Here is the third condition. You can take a look!”

Catherine placed her phone on the desktop, and the phone’s micro projection device projected a contract on the screen.

After seeing the contract Catherine showed, Conor’s eyes widened instantly. Then he suddenly looked up, looking at Catherine as if he was about to swallow her.

“You’re so young, but you’re very greedy!”

“Hmph!” Catherine snorted coldly. ” Mr. Facer, it’s said that don’t underestimate young people. I’m thin but I have a greedy stomach.”

Conor had a calm face and his eyes narrowed slightly. There was a dangerous aura in his cold eyes, and the chill lingering around him made people shudder.

“Girl, don’t forget. You’re in my house.

“Coming in here is easy, but going out can be difficult!”

“Phew…” Catherine let out a leisurely breath. She lazily stretched herself, completely ignoring Conor’s threat.

A hint of doubt arose in Conor’s heart. He carefully looked at Catherine and asked, “Aren’t you really afraid?”

“Mr. Facer, you can give it a try!”

On Catherine’s beautiful and delicate face, her slightly raised eyes exude an emperor-like dominance. It made people dare not underestimate her.

She picked up the phone on the table and shook it in front of Conor.

Two minutes later, Troy hurriedly came in front of Conor and leaned down to whisper a few words in Conor’s ear.

The moment he finished speaking, there was an immediate change on Conor’s face.

From the expression on his face, it could be seen that he was both unbelievable and somewhat frightened.

He looked at Catherine seriously and questioned once again, “What is your relationship with the Breens?”

Many people believed that the world’s richest family was the family of the computer-savvy tycoon, but few people know that the world’s richest family who was exposed was fake.

Because its transparent assets were ranked first.

The truly wealthy families were not superficial wealthy families like his. They were just the tip of the iceberg, and the world’s top five mysterious families hidden beneath them were the real wealthiest families in the world.

These five mysterious families not only control eighty percent of the world’s wealth but more importantly, they also control the decision-making power of many countries. They could even manipulate the election of presidents to make those decision-makers serve their families.

The most mysterious and wealthy of the five families was the Breens.

This ancient and mysterious big family controlled almost half of the world’s wealth.

All the rich businessmen and celebrities were nobody in front of the Breens.

The spokesperson of the Breens sent an official notice to the Facers just now that if they dared to hurt Catherine, the Breens would make the entire Facers disappear from the world.

This was not an alarmist talk. As long as the Breens wanted to do it, they could easily make the Facers disappear.

As for the entire Facers and interests, Connor naturally understood which was more important.

Watching Catherine’s calm and composed demeanor, he knew he had lost miserably.

In an instant, this once dominant old man seemed to age in an instant, aging a lot.

He sighed deeply. He closed his eyes and said with a helpless face, “This is my misfortune. I accept it. I’ll sign this contract!”s

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?"
