All Her Secrets

Upon hearing Leonel’s question, Catherine nonchalantly nodded, as if she were unaffected by anything that had transpired. It had taken an hour, which was too long for her.

“I’ve read everything and memorized the main points. There shouldn’t be any problem dealing with the projects of the Swann Corporation. If I have any questions, I’ll contact you!”

Her voice was cold, without warmth or emotion. However, why did it sound sarcastic to him?

Leonel couldn’t help but feel like a fool for offering his support earlier. Did someone like her, who could absorb and memorize so much information in just an hour, truly need his assistance?

Seeing Catherine get up and leave, Leonel quickly followed. He finally understood why Mr. Swann insisted strongly on Catherine returning to inherit the family business.

There would be no hope for the Swann Corporation without Catherine. She could make the Swann Corporation invincible and always stand undefeated in the industry if she wanted.

As they reached the ground floor, Leonel was about to inquire about Catherine’s next destination so he could make the necessary arrangements.

Before he could speak, a tall and imposing man suddenly appeared. This man exuded an air of majesty and seemed to bring a chill with him wherever he went.

Leonel recognized him as Paxton, Branden’s assistant.

However, what was Paxton doing here? Leonel turned his head to look at Catherine beside him.

Catherine showed no surprise at Paxton’s presence, as if it wouldn’t faze her no matter who appeared.

Paxton maintained a stoic expression as he gazed at Catherine, who reciprocated with a cold and frigid look in her eyes. Paxton respectfully bowed.

“Miss Swann, Mr. Duncan heard you are at the Swann Corporation’s office, so he is here to see you. Please follow me.”

Catherine furrowed her brow upon hearing Paxton’s words.

It was said that this man was distant and aloof, and yet he stuck to her like a shadow, which was unexpected.

However, she wasn’t surprised that Branden knew her whereabouts.

After all, the Duncans wouldn’t have dominated the city of Casier for so many years if they didn’t have this ability.
