Chapter 1005 A Joke

Audrey felt nervous when asked by Catherine, even on the phone. “Just an accident. It’s settled. Don’t worry.”

Of course, Catherine knew it was settled. Or else she would be there to fix it instead of talking to Audrey on the phone. But she was more curious about Audrey and Triston. They had been off and on repeatedly. “What about you and Triston?”

Audrey didn’t know how to answer that. She coughed awkwardly. “There’s nothing between us. He happened to be there and helped me.”

Catherine could feel Audrey had no intention of talking about this. She didn’t push her. She was never a nosy girl and only made this call because she cared about Audrey.

“Fine. I’ll rest, then. Feel free to call me whenever you need any help.” said Catherine.

Audrey let out a sigh of relief after Catherine hung up. She was worried Catherine might keep asking. Then she wouldn’t know what to say.

Looking at the pale moonlight outside the window, she was lost in her thoughts. She forced herself to calm down and let go of whatever was on her mind. The only thing she needed to know was she and Triston were never getting back.

A burst of rapid knocks on the door woke up Audrey. She got out of bed and opened the door with hazy eyes and a vague head.

Kim stood there and glared at Audrey.

Girl, I’ve been knocked for ten minutes!

Audrey asked muzzily, “Really? Why didn’t you call?”

Kim went ballistic. “I did!” He would literally strangle her if she didn’t have work today.

He looked away and waved at her. “

Now, hurry up! Wash up and get dressed.”

Audrey went back to her room and instantly knew why Kim was so pissed off after she checked her phone and saw a dozen of missed calls from Kim.

Audrey took ten minutes to get ready before she came to Kim. “Let’s move.”

Kim’s anger was relieved since she was so quick.

Audrey had to attend a commercial event today where she would be provided clothing and jewelry by the brand.

The arrival of the jewelry from the brand surprised everyone here. Audrey had advertised for jewelry before. The jewelry was usually accompanied by the manager and a few bodyguards, but this time, there were too many bodyguards. All of them in black suits looked fresh and expensive.

Audrey looked at the gorgeous diamond when the manager opened the box and swallowed. The number of bodyguards seemed to be reasonable. It was beautiful and must be extremely expensive.

The manager looked at Audrey and politely asked, “Shall I put it on you, Miss Swann?”

Audrey nodded and sat on the chair.

A dazzling diamond necklace and an eye -catching pair of diamond earrings. Anyone would be eclipsed with them on, but not Audrey. She was beautiful and noble. The jewelry was like adding flowers to the brocade. It made perfection even more perfect.

The activity went very well. The brand was super happy with Audrey. It was weird because she had never dealt with such an undemanding brand before in her years in the industry.

She whispered to Kim when they were alone in the restroom. “Hey, Kim, do you find the brand too nice?”

It turned out Kim also found them over -cooperative.

The assistant packing up heard what they said and smiled. “Isn’t it a good thing? I think it means you are a superstar now.”

Audrey was increasingly valued as a rising star in the industry. But not like this. They rested for a while, and then someone knocked on the door.

The manager was here with a bunch of bodyguards. The assistant hurriedly invited them in. Audrey figured they were here to retrieve the jewelry. She removed them and put them back in the box they came with. As the poster woman, she wouldn’t take the jewelry since she had been paid. Let alone this set of jewelry was priceless. It happened before. Some actress refused to return the jewelry. But Audrey was too proud to do so.

The manager didn’t take the box. Audrey was stunned, but then she thought of something. “Yeah, right. You guys may want to check on it first.”

They usually checked the jewelry carefully before they took it back.

The manager smiled at Audrey. “Oh, no, Miss Swann, that’s not it. My boss is delighted with you. He thinks you will be a big upgrade to our company. The jewelry will be a gift for you from my boss. We hope you can take it.”

Audrey was dumbfounded. She knew some brands would send products to their poster men or women, but not the priceless ones!

Kim also found it strange. He wanted to ask, but the manager left directly.

Audrey held the box, looking at Kim, confused. “Is this a joke or something?”

It couldn’t be a joke. Kim was worried that they might want Audrey to trade her body. “Don’t worry. I need you to keep it well and wait till I find out who is behind this company.”

Audrey couldn’t think of anyone and did as she was told.

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?"
