Chapter 1020: Hidden at the Corner

After the reporter asked, the whole room was silent, seemingly waiting for Audrey Swann to answer.

Everyone wanted to know about this issue, but after all, it was rather sensitive, and many people were worried about offending Audrey.

Audrey had obviously expected that someone would ask her this question in public. Upon hearing the question, her attitude was very calm.

“Regarding that Sir, since it involves my privacy and interactions with others, I’m not allowed to respond. Let’s wait for the official announcement.”

Audrey’s response was quite direct, it seems like she doesn’t want to talk too much about this issue in public.

The reporter who asked was obviously wasn’t satisfied with her answer, and quickly followed up, asking, “So you don’t have anything to say about the fan who attacked you? Will you sue them?”

Kim Morris, who was standing on the side, instantly frowned when he heard this question.

Now it is very obvious, the reporter is obviously targeting Audrey with controversial questions.

That question is too tricky.

After all, when a celebrity sues a fan, no matter how justified the celebrity may be, it will certainly trigger some irrational reactions from fans.

Fans are the foundation of a celebrity’s presence in the entertainment industry, and no celebrity would want to offend their fans.

If Audrey were to say she’s suing this fan, it could potentially offend a large portion of her fan base.

If she says she won’t sue, it sets a potential situation for future incidents where haters can act without restrictions and be free, potentially causing Audrey countless troubles.

Mr. Morris hurried to step forward to intervene, but Audrey stopped him with a glance.

Audrey locked eyes with the reporter who asked and said: “Why don’t you answer instead? If you were in my shoes, how would you handle it?”

The reporter chuckled and replied: ” Ms. Swann, I’m the one asking the questions here. Please answer mine.”

Audrey’s expression turned slightly serious as she responded: “For legal matters, you should ask the police.”

“And since today is the brand’s launch, please be respectful and ask questions about the brand only.”

Seeing Ms. Swann getting annoyed, the reporter stopped pestering her, and everyone else backed off as well.

Audrey isn’t worried about the reporter misinterpreting things, she has been in the industry long enough to handle it.

After briefly responding to a few questions, Audrey stepped down from the stage.

As soon as she stepped down, Mr. Morris came up to her side.

“The reporter who asked the question just now is on our opponent’s side. Don’t worry, if he dares to say nonsense that is out of the line, I’ll make sure to deal with him.”

Mr. Morris spoke confidently with an assurance, as if he had everything under control.

No one wants to pick a fight for no reason, Audrey knew exactly what was going on when the reporter asked those controversial questions.

It must have been someone from the opposition being sent to stir up trouble. These things aren’t uncommon in the entertainment industry, but Audrey is not afraid.

“Come on, let’s go into the venue first.”

Mr. Morris understood that the brand event was more important at the moment. He nodded and replied, ” Okay!”

Once they entered the venue, Mr. Morris suddenly couldn’t find Ms. Swann’s seat.

Given Audrey Swann’s current status in the industry, attending the event would mean sitting prominently in the front row, if not right in the middle, at least in a prominent position where she could be seen easily.

But Mr. Morris searched around for a while and couldn’t find Ms. Swann’s name tag anywhere, which made him feel quite puzzled.

Audrey also noticed the issue and told Mr. Morris not to worry, asking someone to inquire about it first.

After asking the on-site staff, they finally found Ms. Swann’s name tag tucked away in a hidden spot at the back corner of the venue.

Seeing where the name tag was placed, Mr. Morris’s expression instantly turned serious.

“What’s going on? Did they just change the seats last-minute?”

“This is really unfair.”

“Even though they didn’t include about the seats into the contract, the seating arrangements were discussed beforehand. It’s rare for such last- minute changes like this to happen.”

“They really dared to do this, it shows how much they look down on us.”

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?"
