Chapter 708 Coffee Beans

When Catherine came out of the lab, she received a call from Audrey.

“Wait a moment. I’m coming right away!” At the school gate, Catherine saw Audrey. In just a few days, Audrey had lost weight.

“Do you need something from me?” Despite facing her sister, Catherine’s attitude was still chilly, and she spoke without warmth.

Audrey had long been accustomed to her sister, who seemed cold on the outside but actually valued the people she cared about more than anything.

“Kathy, are you getting used to being at Styre University?” Audrey looked at Catherine, feeling she was not doing a responsible job as an older sister. Instead of taking care of her sister, she often caused trouble for Catherine.

Without Catherine stepping in this time, she wouldn’t have made it through unscathed. Catherine not only helped her restore her reputation but also increased her popularity.

Now, calls for business were flooding in from Kim, and her external quotes kept rising. However, she wasn’t in a hurry to work. She could never earn enough money and wanted to take a break.

“Kathy, I plan to go on a trip for a while. I’ve been busy lately, working non-stop. I want to take advantage of this reason to relax and unwind on a trip,” said Audrey.

“Sure.” Catherine nodded slightly, agreeing with Audrey’s decision.

Audrey reached out to touch her but suddenly remembered that Catherine didn’t like being touched, so she lowered her raised hand. “I don’t have anything specific to discuss; I just wanted to see you before heading out. Take care of yourself at school. I’ll come back once I’ve had my fun.”

Unusually, Catherine didn’t show impatience. “Okay.”

In her view, it was good that Audrey wanted to take a break. With Shane keeping watch in Loxton recently, the people around her wouldn’t be too peaceful. Audrey’s leaving would reduce her concerns.

“I won’t disturb your studies. I’ll go now.” Audrey turned and left gracefully.

Catherine stood in place, watching her leave. She didn’t ask about Audrey’s development with Triston. She had made it clear earlier. She wouldn’t interfere in Audrey’s love matters.

Once Audrey completely disappeared, Catherine prepared to return to school.

The buzzing sound of her phone came from her pocket. Catherine took out her phone, looked at it, and silently sneered. She thought she had been quite busy today.

A few minutes later, Catherine knocked on Marshall’s office door.

“Come in!” said Marshall.

Seeing Catherine enter, Marshall got up and poured her a cup of coffee. “This is something good from Mr. Farrell. Try it.

He used the coffee beans he hadn’t been willing to drink himself and made a cup for Catherine as soon as she came.

He always valued his students more than his own children, especially this newest one.

Catherine took a sip. The coffee tasted good, and she took another sip.

Seeing that Catherine liked it, Marshall felt pleased. “If you like it, you can take the whole can later.”

If Winston passed by at this time, he would definitely stand at the door and curse at Marshall. Marshall hadn’t agreed to give him a cup of this coffee when he asked for it. Now, he generously gave all the coffee beans to Catherine. This old scholar was really biased.

“No need, Professor Hartley. If you like coffee, I’ll have Branden bring some,” said Catherine.

Karl also liked coffee, and the Duncans had many good coffee beans.

Sometimes, Branden would proactively buy some high-quality coffee, and there were quite a few of this quality in their apartment.

Upon hearing this, Marshall suddenly smiled. “No need. It’s enough that you have this intention.”

With her usually cold temperament, Catherine found it redundant even to glance at strangers. The fact that she thought of bringing him coffee showed that she sincerely regarded him as a teacher and a mentor.

Marshall felt happy in his heart. This student of his cared about him. “Let’s get to the point. I called you here to discuss something.”

Marshall knew Catherine’s nature of not liking to stand out. He wouldn’t have asked if anyone else had that opportunity, but Catherine was different.

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?"
