The mocking gazes and continuous sneers seemed to have no effect on Catherine. She remained unfazed, not even blinking or changing her expression.

Lifting her head, she slowly scanned the room with her pure brown eyes, as clear as glass, emitting a chilling light as she looked at each person present.

Wherever her gaze landed, no one dared to meet her eyes.

The mocking laughter gradually subsided, as no one had expected such a sharp and powerful gaze from a young girl.

They were subconsciously intimidated by her, even forgetting why they had mocked her moments ago.

With the room quieting down, Catherine reached out a hand to Leonel who stood behind her, without even turning her head.

Immediately, Leonel opened his briefcase and took out several documents, respectfully handing them to Catherine.

Korbin looked at Leonel with disdain.

Leonel was a well-known lawyer in the industry, yet he showed extreme respect to this young girl. "He is making a fool of himself," Korbin thought.

    Korbin seethed with anger, but Catherine remained composed, unaffected by his emotional display. Her beautiful eyes glanced around the room before settling on Korbin, and her lips curled into a mysterious smile that left everyone wondering what she was thinking."Mr. Swann, if you desire the position of chairperson, I can offer it to you," she calmly replied.Catherine blinked at him as if waiting for his nod of approval.The people present were shocked to hear Catherine's unexpected offer, thinking that she was arrogant. They couldn't believe that she would say such a thing.Leonel, standing behind Catherine, tried his best to maintain a serious expression. While Korbin might not have been as powerful as his father, he still held significant influence in Casier.Catherine offering him the position could easily be misinterpreted as Leonel manipulating his daughter.Catherine acted as if she were being gracious to Korbin, but her intentions were clear, to strip him of his power.

    Upon hearing Leonel's question, Catherine nonchalantly nodded, as if she were unaffected by anything that had transpired.It had taken an hour, which was too long for her."I've read everything and memorized the main points. There shouldn't be any problem dealing with the projects of the Swann Corporation. If I have any questions, I'll contact you!"Her voice was cold, without warmth or emotion.However, why did it sound sarcastic to him?Leonel couldn't help but feel like a fool for offering his support earlier.Did someone like her, who could absorb and memorize so much information in just an hour, truly need his assistance?Seeing Catherine get up and leave, Leonel quickly followed.He finally understood why Mr. Swann insisted strongly on Catherine returning to inherit the family business.There would be no hope for the Swann Corporation without Catherine.

    As everyone's eyes were fixed on Catherine, she walked alongside Branden and entered the restaurant. The interior design of the restaurant matched the style of the building, exuding an elegant and unique ambiance that transported people to a foreign country.They were given the largest private room, not in terms of table size, but in its expansive area, resembling a spacious, one-level restaurant. Branden handed the menu to Catherine and asked, "What would you like to eat?" Catherine didn't respond, her delicate face resting on her hand, indicating her fatigue and weariness.Branden noticed her exhaustion and sighed as he gazed at her. "Then I'll order. After we finish eating, I'll take you to rest," he said in a deep tone. Catherine had no objections. She didn't enjoy selecting dishes, so she didn't mind letting Branden decide on the meal.If there was anything she didn't like, she could choose not to eat it.Since there were only the two of them, Branden thought a simple

    The classroom was filled with noise, but it quickly fell silent as Catherine arrived.At that instant, all eyes were focused on her.Moreover, her attire stood out among her classmates, who were wearing the school uniform. Even in a simple white T-shirt and jeans, she exuded the presence of a movie star walking on a red carpet.Despite the intense scrutiny from her peers, Catherine remained unresponsive, her expression cold and indifferent, as she made her way directly to her seat.Before she even arrived, Bryan, standing nearby, pulled out a chair and gestured toward Catherine."Please," he said.Catherine glanced at him and nodded, possessing both delicate features and a touch of masculine energy.When Bryan received a response from Catherine, a slight smile appeared on his face.In his view, he felt that he had taken another step towards becoming friends with Catherine.Bryan was the most popular boy in the school, and many girls in the class had a crush on him.To their

It took a lot of nerve to do so.The homeroom teacher's expression immediately turned serious. "Liana, what are you doing? That's disrespectful. Do you think it's acceptable to speak to a teacher like that?"The math teacher saw an opportunity in Liana's accusation and quickly spoke up, saying, "Liana, if you know something, don't be afraid to share it. Don't worry. I will protect you!"Liana nodded, determined to expose Catherine's true nature at any cost. "I live with Catherine, and my parents have never called the teacher," she revealed.There had been rumors in school that Catherine was a daughter brought back from the countryside by the Swanns.

"Good. You're worthy of being the woman I love. I'm most annoyed with those women who stay at home day in and day out and like to gossip when they have nothing else to do. You have your own career and I'm very supportive of that."Triston said this with a proud look on his face and raised his eyebrows at Audrey, full of smugness.Willa's face instantly turned gloomy.Her son had demeaned her by calling her a gossipy woman just to please another woman, and it made her furious.Egbert kind of realized that his son was totally in love with Audrey.

    Although Audrey was born into a wealthy family, Triston's mother, Willa Lambert, had always been prejudiced against showbiz and therefore did not approve of Triston's pursuit of Audrey.In Willa's opinion, female celebrities in the showbiz industry had always appeared in public, which was not like the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.It was only after learning that Audrey and Triston might be together that she eagerly introduced Triston to girls in the first place.

Looking at Triston with disbelief in her eyes, she said, "Pardon me?"Triston's handsome face carried a gentle smile. "I've inquired with Kim. You don't have any work arrangements since this afternoon, and you can also take a day off tomorrow. It's just right for us to have dinner together in the evening."Audrey frowned and asked inwardly, "Is that what I care about?"What she cared about was who Triston had just said she would have dinner with tonight. "Why are you suddenly asking your family to have dinner with me?"The Swanns and the Lamberts were both in Casier and they were also considered to be friends. For Triston's family, although Audrey was not familiar with them, she had seen them at major parties.But in the past, they used to meet as ordinary friends.Now that she and Triston were in a relationship, his sudden proposal to take her to di

    Audrey hesitated for a moment but still answered the phone with a nervous heart.She believed that Catherine definitely had a way to get her to answer the phone, but things would be troublesome if she made Catherine take her actions.She put her phone to her ear and inquired in a low voice, "Morning, Kathy. What's the matter?"Catherine's voice remained as cold as ever, without any emotion. "Tell me, what is it that you haven't told me?"Audrey had already figured out a strategy to deal with it and how to excuse herself, but as soon as she answered the phone, Catherine asked her so directly, which made her suddenly unable to react.Audrey had no choice but to tell Catherine the truth.After listening to her trembling narration, Catherine only asked coldly, "Are you sure you want him to be your boyfriend?"Audrey was a bit hesitant.

    Faced with Triston's questioning, Ronin looked arrogant. "Catherine and Audrey are sisters, so Audrey is my sister. You can bully anyone, but you can't bully her. Or else, we can't even be friends."Ronin's words sounded childish, but there was seriousness inside his eyes when he said those words. He grew up with Catherine and regarded Catherine as his most important family member. To him, Catherine's sister was his sister.After listening to Ronin's words, Triston faintly laughed out. "I see."Ronin thought that Triston didn't take his words to heart, and immediately felt a burning anger. "What do you mean? You don't understand my warning, do you?""Easy!" Triston gestured for him to calm down, then said calmly, "Even death row inmates have a chance to explain, right? You should at least hear me out.""Hmph!" Ronin snorted disdainfully. He secretly thought in his heart, "If Triston says any more asshole words, I'll definitely not show him any respect."Triston put away that cyni
