Chapter 1040 You Still Have Me

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. Everyone blessed her and Triston after they found out they were together again, but Catherine was the only one who asked her to calm down and think it over.

In just a few seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Audrey’s mind, and her gaze also became firm. ” Kathy, I’m sure.”

“Okay.” After getting the answer, Catherine simply responded and hung up the phone.

Audrey was still a bit confused after Catherine hung up the phone. But she knew Catherine, and this was indeed Catherine’s style. She was a little surprised that Catherine was taking an interest in her personal life.

In the past, unless she was in danger, Catherine would hardly have contacted her.

She was used to Catherine’s outward indifference. Catherine was born that way, but deep down she loved her family to the extreme.

Audrey couldn’t help but smile at the thought of Catherine. This kind of feeling of being loved by her family all the time was too precious for her.

Audrey put her phone down. Just as she was about to lie back and rest, there was a knock outside the door.

She lifted the covers. Stepping out of bed, she opened the door only a little bit.

It was Triston outside the door. He stood there with a sunny and handsome face, and the hair hanging down from his forehead was constantly dripping with sweat.

It looked like he should have just returned from a workout, and that was why he was covered in sweat.

“Good morning!” He greeted Audrey in a pleasant tone.

Audrey looked at him with raised eyebrows. “Why are you up so early?”

Triston lifted food in his hand and showed it to her. “I came to bring you breakfast.”

He was well aware that Audrey had been working in showbiz for the past two years, and the long period of irregular work and rest had led to problems with her stomach. What he was doing now was to help Audrey recover her health.

The moment the food box approached, a fresh scent hit Audrey’s face and instantly made her feel hungry.

Audrey pulled open the door to let Triston in. “I’ll go wash up.”

In front of outsiders, Audrey still needed to maintain her image. After all, she was an actress. But in front of Triston, she could be what she was.

After simple cleaning with warm water, she walked briskly out of the bathroom.

The small table was already filled with food by Triston. The amount of food per serving was small but there were surprisingly many varieties.

“How am I going to eat all this?” Audrey said somewhat helplessly.

Triston smiled and took her hand to make her sit down. “Don’t worry. You have me.”

He knew what Audrey was thinking. She couldn’t eat much but she was greedy for food. She always wanted to eat many kinds of food but she couldn’t much of each type. She didn’t want to waste food, so she could only choose one or two foods. She had trouble choosing every time she ate.

With Triston helping her, Audrey instantly felt better.

This was the advantage of having a boyfriend. She could enjoy more delicious food.

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?"
