All Her Secrets

After the will had been announced, the Swanns were in an uproar.Korbin immediately doubted the will, but it was announced by Leonel Bolton, Vicente's lawyer, himself. Besides, Leonel even showed them a video recorded by Vicente, especially for his will before he died, as proof.Moreover, in his will, Vicente noted that if any member of the Swanns were to object to such a decision, they would be instantly disowned and kicked out of the family.One had to know that every member of the Swanns was working in the Swann Corporation. They would have nothing left if they were kicked out of the Swanns.Now, the guests present finally understood why Vicente ordered to announce his will in public. He was doing so to catch Korbin off guard.Everyone knew Vicente was cunning. Even on his deathbed, he lived up to his reputation for making such a plan.However, why was Catherine chosen to inherit the Swanns' fortune? Wasn't she the Swanns' jinx?As he looked at the girl, who remained calm, Le

Catherine officially settled down in the Swanns. Her room was in the basement of the Swanns' residence.There were dozens of rooms in the broad residence of the Swanns'. But Catherine was arranged to stay in a room in the basement that even the maids would not stay at.Hah!One could see from this how the Swanns treated her.Looking around the spartan room, Catherine did not show any trace of emotion on her doll-like face.She did not care about where she was staying. She preferred staying in the basement, as it was quieter there.So that the other members of the Swanns would not bother her relentlessly.If it were not for Catherine's looks, nobody would believe that she was the daughter of the Swanns.Korbin's wife, Rachael, was known to be a beauty in Casier when she was younger.If she called herself the second prettiest woman in Casier, then nobody would dare to claim to be the prettiest.Everyone thought that Liana, the youngest daughter of the Swanns, looked like Rachae

At the Duncans' residence.After hearing about how Branden promised to get engaged to the country girl from the Swanns that came out of nowhere at the Swanns' funeral, Triston Lambert rushed to the Duncans' residence immediately.As the only friend Branden had acknowledged in public, Triston couldn't believe he did not get first-hand news about Branden's love life.How could Triston show his face in Casier in the future?After all, Triston was the only son and heir of the Lamberts.He couldn't afford to embarrass himself like this."Oh, Mr. Duncan, tell me something, okay? Why did you agree to get engaged to the country girl? Even though she is quite good-looking, there are so many good-looking girls in Casier. Why did you pick her?"Branden was reading the company's financial statement while Triston chatted away noisily next to him like an annoying fly.Branden finally put down the document in his hands as he couldn't take it anymore.He turned to look at Triston briefly, his

Catherine took the contract and took a look at it. A trace of a smile flashed across her charming eyes.Her father was genuinely nice to her. One could tell at a glance that Korbin had set this contract overnight. Every condition was outrageously bossy.If Catherine signed the contract, not only would the Swann Corporation no longer be hers to manage, Korbin would even get to control every word and action of Catherine.Seeing how Catherine flipped through the contract page by page, Korbin's patience wore thin.He didn't think that Catherine could understand the conditions. He heard that she didn't even go to school in the countryside."That's enough, Catherine. You don't have to read so hard into it. Sign now, and I will give you 100 thousand dollars every month as your allowance. You will live a carefree life at the Swanns' residence. You don't have to go back to the countryside anymore!"100 thousand dollars every month?Oh, that was indeed a lot of money for most people.But

At the Duncans' mansion.In the exquisite and luxurious living room, two men entirely different in character were resting on the sofa.Compared to how Triston was sprawled on the sofa, Branden, who had his laptop on his lap, was sitting upright.Seeing how straight Branden was sitting, Triston couldn't help but shake his head.Some people were born to be other-worldly. One could never understand what these people were thinking.The maid came to report the arrival of a guest."Mr. Duncan, Miss Catherine Swann is here!"Triston jumped up from the sofa at the maid's words and stumbled in front of Branden."Catherine Swann? Isn't that the girl from the Swanns that has just returned from the countryside? Isn't that your fiancée?"Branden glanced at Triston lightly, and Triston shut up immediately at his look.As Triston had stopped babbling, Branden raised his head slowly to look at the maid. "Bring her in!"Seeing that Branden had asked for Catherine to come in, Triston decided
