All Her Secrets Chapter 616 by Chestnut

Chapter 616 Revealed Identity

Loxton, seemingly calm, appeared to have hidden turmoil lately. Not only did Aidan come, but Triston also rushed to Loxton from Casier.

During this period, Audrey had been dealing with Korbin’s mess, hiring a caregiver to take care of him. As for Rachael and Liana, she didn’t want to get involved anymore. Following Liana’s suggestion, she let them face the legal consequences.

Thanks to Marshall’s special arrangements with the school, Catherine immersed herself in the laboratory every day and rarely attended classes other than a few main courses. Now, not only Marshall but even the school’s principal favored this genius student.

Marshall arrived at the lab and was somewhat surprised to find Catherine already there.

In his perception, Catherine was a rare genius researcher. Unfortunately, she lacked some of the noble qualities of a researcher. Relying on her exceptional talent, she never worked hard, living a carefree life.

However, she was capable enough to be lazy, as if she needed to do nothing, yet everything belonged to her. Among everyone in the lab, she was the most casual, but her grades were the best, unmatched by anyone.

Recently, Marshall noticed that Catherine’s diligence was somewhat unusual. Sensing something amiss, Marshall, who usually didn’t gossip, decided to find out this time.

He lightly knocked on the door, and Catherine responded without raising her head, “Come in.”

Marshall originally intended to inquire about her recent situation. No matter what, she was his student, and it was only right to be more concerned about the student’s life.

But after approaching, Marshall’s attention was captivated by Catherine’s computer.

Catherine was deducing the latest calculated data on the computer. After carefully examining it, Marshall pushed his glasses and was almost fascinated.

Looking at the data generated on the computer, he widened his mouth in astonishment. “This…”

Catherine ignored him and, fully focused, continued deducing her data.

Marshall, internally shocked, did not dare to disturb her and couldn’t find words to describe his amazement.

After Catherine finished deducing and stood up, she turned around to see Marshall dumbfounded beside her.

“Professor Hartley, what’s wrong?” Catherine asked.

“Catherine, did you deduce this yourself?” Marshall’s voice was somewhat cold, and if one knew him well, they could sense his suppressed emotions.

How he wished everything before his eyes was just a learning video created by Catherine. But he knew that was impossible.

Catherine didn’t deny it. She nodded.

Marshall’s gaze immediately darkened, and his expression was solemn as he stared intensely at Catherine. “Who are you, and what is your purpose in the lab?”

Once, Marshall thought Catherine was a genius student with strong learning abilities. But now, he didn’t think so. The data Catherine had just deduced was not something ordinary. Even he, perhaps, didn’t have that capability.

The entire Eskana couldn’t have a second person like this. He did not know why Catherine could do this.

He was now certain that Catherine had been exposed to this project before, perhaps even understanding the entire experiment better than they did.

“If that’s the case, why did Catherine come to Styre University for college, and what is her purpose in the lab? Is all this a conspiracy?” he thought.

Marshall looked at her with a pained expression; he didn’t want to give up on such a talented individual like Catherine. “Catherine, it’s not too late to confess now. Do you 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?"
