Chapter 593 Korbin Was Dying

After Conor finished signing the contract, Catherine casually put her cell phone away. She turned around, ready to leave.

Troy glanced subconsciously at Conor. Conor waved his hand to signal Troy to let Catherine leave.

After Catherine’s figure disappeared, Troy could not help but ask Conor, “We have agreed to all the conditions put forward by Catherine, but we have not made any demands on her yet. Is it okay to let her go just like that?”

Conor sighed helplessly and glanced deeply in the direction of Catherine’s departure.

“So what if it’s not okay? If she wants to make a move against the Facers, we can do nothing about it!”

Having the spokesperson of the Breens personally send an email warning them showed that Catherine’s position in the Breens was not simple.

Such a character was not someone that the Facers could offend!

The Facers could only blame themselves for not recognizing Catherine’s strength and attempting to make a move against her.

Upon hearing Conor’s tone, Troy was startled.

He thought, “Catherine is so powerful at such a young age. It’s too scary!”

Watching Catherine walk out, Jada immediately followed.

“Catherine, wait!”

Although Jada did not know what exactly her grandfather had promised Catherine, from the person who had told her the situation, she knew that Catherine had asked a lot from the Facers.

Hearing the voice coming from behind her, Catherine stopped in her tracks and gazed at Jada with a cool gaze.

Jada narrowed her eyes slightly. A dangerous light released from within her eyes as she watched Catherine.

“You must be very proud now that you have obtained so much from us. Aren’t you afraid of being punished by God for being too greedy?”

“Haha!” Catherine snorted coldly.

Jada’s brows instantly furrowed as she glared at Catherine angrily. “What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing at you for being so stupid!” Catherine was blunt and undisguised.

“Catherine, don’t go too far!” Jada shouted angrily.

“I go too far? If I hadn’t been merciful, do you think the Facers would still exist? An asset that is huge in your eyes is not even enough to be a tip in mine!”

It was true that she had benefited a lot from the Facers this time, but she was going to invest that money in the Arbotte Laboratory as startup funds for her experiments.

The money from the Facers might just be enough to finish the first phase of an experiment.

A huge asset in the eyes of others was not enough for her to use two or three times.

“Jada, I would have learned to be wiser if I had gone through this.

“People should not be afraid of falling.

But you keep moving forward even if you know you’ll fall. Don’t you think you are stupid?”

Catherine turned around and left straight after saying that to Jada.

She had no time to continue arguing with Jada, the stupid person.

Jada was so angry that she stomped her feet. She wanted to take this opportunity to teach Catherine a good lesson.

Now that Catherine was in her territory, was she still afraid of her?

Before she could do anything, she heard a familiar voice from behind her.

“Jada!”

Jada stiffened. She turned her head back slowly, and the hostile aura on her body gradually dissipated. She obediently greeted her grandfather, ” Grandpa!”

Looking at her grandfather’s stooping figure, Jada suddenly felt a little sad.

“Grandpa, I heard that you promised Catherine many unequal treaties. Is this true?

“Catherine is now alone in our territory. Why should we be so afraid of her?”

Seeing that Jada was still unclear about Catherine’s strength, Conor sighed helplessly, “That’s right, Catherine is here alone. But do you know how powerful and amazing the force behind her is?

“If you make another mistake, you’ll drag the entire Facers into the abyss. Do you understand?

“At that time, it won’t be a matter of whether I save you or not, but a matter of our entire family will be in trouble. Understand?”

Jada looked at her grandfather in fear. In her mind, her grandfather had always been mighty.

She never imagined that one day, her grandfather would say such words in such a humble manner.

Moreover, the person her grandfather was bragging about was still Catherine.

“Grandpa, are you sure you’re not joking?”

“I also want this to be a joke. If it were a joke, I wouldn’t have to lose half of the Facers’ assets!”

Conor finished helplessly and turned away with his hands behind his back. Jada fell and sat on the ground. The words of her grandfather warning her echoed in her mind.

She could care less about herself but could not implicate the entire family.

Coming out of the Facers’, Catherine saw the familiar black Bentley parked in front of her.

Branden leaned on the side of the car and looked down at the phone in his hand.

At the moment Catherine approached, Branden suddenly looked up. Their eyes met, and Catherine quickened her pace.

Branden reached out and grabbed her hand, asking softly, “Are you okay?”

Catherine raised her eyebrows and looked at him. She said jokingly, “If I’m not okay, are you still able to stand here?”

It was rare to see Catherine’s mischievous side, and Branden responded with a smile.

“You’re right.”

Paxton, sitting in the car, breathed a sigh of relief. He took out his phone and notified the people deployed around to retreat.

They thought a big war was inevitable. Now that Catherine came out unharmed, this war naturally ended before it began.

However, if the Facers dared to take action against Catherine today, they would no longer have a foothold in the territory of Loxton.

Paxton remembered when Branden gave the order; he said that if the Facers dared to put their hands on Catherine, they would directly destroy the Facers.

Branden’s tone at the time was very mighty and domineering, which shocked people’s hearts.

The breeze came and messed up Catherine’s hair. After Branden helped tidy her hair, he pulled her into the car.

“Get in the car. It’s windy outside!”

Catherine got into the car with Branden. Just as she sat down, she received a call from Audrey.

“Kathy, come back quickly. Dad is dying!”

Branden noticed the slight change in Catherine’s expression. After she hung up the phone, Branden immediately asked, “Something wrong?”

Catherine nodded slightly. “Take me to Casier. Korbin is dying!”

After Paxton, who was in the driver’s seat, heard it, he immediately stepped on the accelerator and accelerated the car’s speed to the fastest without waiting for Branden’s command.

The car then changed direction and rushed toward the airport.

At the Yanio Airport in Loxton, the Duncans had specially rented a piece of parking apron that allowed private planes to start at any time.

Seeing Catherine’s face calm and without any change in her expression, Branden gently grabbed her hand and slowly placed it in his palm.

His body temperature was transmitted to Catherine’s body through his palm.

“Don’t worry. I’ll go back with you!”

Two hours later, the Duncans’ private airplane landed on Casier’s personal apron.

The car, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward.

With steady steps, Branden took Catherine’s hand, got into the car, and headed toward the hospital.

Surprisingly, the entrance to the hospital was overcrowded and surrounded by people.

These people held various cameras, and there were constant flashes around. It was unknown which celebrity was on the scene.

Paxton was very sensitive and immediately discovered the person being trapped.

He reported the situation immediately, “It’s Miss Audrey!”

Catherine’s face then darkened as she casually pushed open the car door and stepped out.

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?"
