Chapter 638 The One She Loved

The Arbotte Laboratory was researching the most cutting-edge chip globally, and if this chip hit the market, it could change the entire era.

Not only the Arbotte Laboratory, but all top labs worldwide were in on this.

Everyone was racing to develop this chip and aimed for the quickest production to maximize development and profits.

Once this chip hit the market, it would bring numerous profits.

Money was not the main thing here. It was the possibility of monopolizing the technology of this chip that drove innovation across the board, which would push forward the whole tech scene.

According to the information they held, so far, among all these labs worldwide, the Arbotte Laboratory made the fastest progress.

Rodge led Catherine to the core of the lab and saw the latest results of his research. It was the lab’s most secretive place that only Rodge and Catherine could access.

“Chief, take a look!” Rodge said.

Catherine sat at the console, opened the mathematical model, and reran the experiment from scratch to search for the root cause.

The first run didn’t show any issues yet. Catherine ran it again and finally spotted an odd data point.

She pointed at it and said, “Maybe the problem is here. Let me tweak the data and rerun it.”

Rodge felt odd. This data came from numerous calculations, so it shouldn’t be wrong.

He didn’t want to doubt his calculations, but he trusted Catherine even more.

He stood at the side and watched Catherine silently. He was deeply impressed by her incredible computational abilities.

Catherine stayed in the lab since they touched down, and it was almost 6 PM.

The machine finally printed the results of the first run. Catherine glanced at it and handed the data to Rodge, who was eagerly waiting.

Seeing that, Rodge widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Wow! Chief, you’re amazing!”

It turned out to be a problem with the data. However, the issue remained resolved as they were unsure if there may be other problematic data.

However, Catherine found the crux of the problem with just one move. It was something an ordinary person couldn’t possibly do. Despite being amazed countless times, Rodge had to praise Catherine once again.

Phones weren’t allowed here. Catherine looked at Rodge and asked, “What time is it?”

Rodge checked his watch and replied, ” Chief, it’s almost six.”

Catherine headed straight out after putting down the equipment. As she passed Rodge, she said, “I’m leaving.”

Rodge hurried to catch up. “Chief, are you taking a break? How about I treat you to dinner?”

Catherine stopped, turned back, and declined his offer. She replied, “No need for that. Someone’s waiting for me.”

Rodge knew exactly who Catherine referred to.

As he watched Catherine walk away swiftly, Rodge couldn’t help but smirk. Ever since Catherine started dating, he could sense a more human side to her.

She wasn’t the distant, unapproachable legend anymore. She was once so cold and didn’t have any preferences. With a powerful brain and a stunning face, she seemed to look down on everyone.

That kind of Catherine was too unreal. It made people love and fear her at the same time.

The current Catherine seemed better. Rodge was pleased with the change in her since she started dating.

Perhaps Branden was just the one she loved.

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?"
