Donna didn’t show any mercy at all. Everyone from the Langs sat aside, watching Catherine as if they were watching a good
show.
They all didn’t like Catherine. With Rachael’s marriage to the top- class family, the Swanns, she led to the prosperity of the entire
Langs.
Catherine, who was recognized as a jinx, was thrown into the countryside from a young age. And she was suddenly called back
to inherit the entire assets of the Swanns, which made the Langs dislike her, whether out of hostility to the rich or consideration
for their own interests.
They despised Catherine for growing up in the countryside and looked down on her. Watching Catherine being educated,
everyone gloated and held back their laughter. Catherine originally had no intention of paying attention, but she didn’t expect the
Langs to go too far.
She casually put down the fork in her hand and looked at Donna indifferently. Her pure brown eyes exuded a cold aura, which
made her look as fierce as a raging beast and sharp as an eagle.
“Grandma has a point. I have no one to educate me, and my nature is wild. The Langs is a literary family. You and Grandpa are
professors and great scholars, teaching and educating for so many years, but the daughter you gave birth to is superstitious and
threw away her own daughter.
“Grandma, do you think this is considered a failure in your educational milestone?”
Although everyone knew why Catherine was sent away from her childhood, no one ever mentioned it openly.
As Catherine said, as a descendant of a literary family, Rachael was superstitious and even sent her daughter to the countryside.
If this matter were made public, it would be a disgrace. No one expected Catherine to open up this matter in front of so many
people.
Not only did it humiliate Rachael, but it also showed no respect to Donna and Enzo. Everyone was shocked. No one in the Langs
dared to disrespect Donna and Enzo.
No one had ever dared to talk to them like that in the Langs, and Catherine was the first person who had ever dared to speak to
them in such a tone.
Audrey sat aside, her eyes widening in shock. Although she agreed that Catherine’s words were disrespectful, they sounded
pleasant to her. Catherine was amazing!
Donna was so angry that she gasped for breath. She reached out and patted the table, scolding Catherine angrily, You... You
unruly girl, how dare you talk to me like that?”
Rachael hurriedly calmed her mother, smoothing her breath while glaring angrily at Catherine with her sharp eyes.
She gritted her teeth and angrily pointed at Catherine, shouting directly at her, “Catherine, I order you to apologize to your
grandma right now. Do it right now!”
It had been many years since those present had seen Rachael, who had always appeared as a gentle noblewoman, get so
angry.
It could be seen how angry Rachael was this time. Everyone also began to blame Catherine as if she were a murderer or an
arsonist. Catherine didn’t say anything. She raised her head slowly, looking around with her cold eyes with a powerful aura.
The crowd was then instantly silenced. They had to be silent because Catherine’s aura was too powerful, and those who were
glanced at by her would subconsciously panic and not dare to speak.
Only after the scene quieted down did Catherine speak unhurriedly, “If you guys don’t want to have a relationship with me, you
can just say it! If you want me to sit here, then show your sincerity.
“I didn’t come here to sit and listen to a lecture.
“If you guys still want to have business dealings with the Swanns, then don’t put on such airs against me. Don’t forget who the
chairperson of the Swann Corporation is now!”
She said those words lightly but it made everyone change their expressions. The people of the Langs, who were originally
arrogant, now looked depressed.
Faced with the silence of the crowd, Catherine arrogantly curled up her lips and gave her final advice with a cold smile.
“Remember, you’re not qualified to meddle in my affairs!”
After saying that, she stood up with her hands in her pockets. She looked at Donna and Enzo with an arrogant attitude.
“I’m full, so I won’t be here to affect your appetites, lest you all can’t eat!”
After saying that, Catherine turned around and left. Before leaving, she picked up Audrey by the collar with one hand. She took
the still-dazed Audrey with her forcibly!
She was worried that if she didn’t take Audrey away, Audrey would be bullied by the Langs. Only after the two figures completely
disappeared did the Langs come back to their senses. Enzo was the first one to speak at that time. He slapped the table angrily
to vent his anger.
“It’s the first time I’ve been pointed at and humiliated like this in my life. And the person who humiliated me is a junior in my
family. I’ve lived my life in vain!”
As soon as Enzo said that, the others echoed.
“Catherine is just too much of a badass. She’s a junior but she dares to threaten her elders. We should really teach her a
lesson.”
The one who said this was Alyssa, who was shocked by Catherine just now. Now that she had come back to her senses, she
couldn’t wait to kill Catherine. Faced with the constant accusation of Catherine from the people around her, Liana was the
happiest one.
She appeared obedient to comfort Donna. “Grandma, don’t be so angry. Catherine grew up in the countryside, and she doesn’t
know how to behave herself!”
As soon as she said that, Alyssa chimed in sarcastically. “She doesn’t know how to behave herself? I think she knows it too well.
She was threatening us with the Swann Corporation? Who the hell does she think she is? Does she think she is in charge of the
Swann Corporation?”
“Alyssa, Catherine is indeed in charge of the Swann Corporation!” Adrien’s sudden words drew everyone’s attention. Donna and
Enzo’s gazes were all focused on Adrien, with a hint of exploration and confusion in their eyes.
Adrien didn’t care about the attention of the crowd. After all, he had already understood the intention of what they had just said.
He stared at Catherine all the time just now without saying a word because he wanted to see how much Catherine could endure
and whether she would seek help from him.
He didn’t expect this girl to be really tough, directly letting the whole family feel embarrassed. He appreciated Catherine’s tough
nature.
Alyssa didn’t understand Adrien’s meaning, so she took the initiative to ask, “Adrien, what do you mean by that? Could it be that
Swann Corporation really wanted Catherine, a little girl, to be the leader?”
Adrien nodded slightly, agreeing with Alyssa’s words.
“That’s right, the one who is in charge of the Swann Corporation now is Catherine. As far as I know, Catherine has the most
shares, and she has also passed the board of directors’ selection and has successfully been elected as the chairperson of the
board of directors of the Swann Corporation.
“As the chairperson of the board, Catherine has the right to decide on the future development direction and cooperation partners
of the Swann Corporation!”
To put it bluntly, Catherine held the power of life and death of the Swann Corporation. With the power in her hands, she could
cooperate with whomever she wanted.
If she didn’t want to cooperate with someone, she could just stop the cooperation directly.
