Chapter 1033 Let’s Go for a Drink

The kidnapping had come to a complete end, and Triston proposed to send Audrey back. Afraid that she might take offense, Triston cautiously said, “If you don’t want to, I’ll have the driver take you instead. I won’t go.”

After Audrey had finished calling Kim, she heard Triston’s words.

She put down her phone and smiled at Triston. “Let’s go for a drink.”

Triston was momentarily stunned at her words.

His relationship with Audrey had always been quite stiff. He wanted to approach Audrey but was afraid of scaring her away again, so he could only watch over her carefully each time.

Seeing him stand speechless beside her, Audrey broke into a gentle laugh.” Mr. Lambert quit drinking for real, as people are saying? If so, I’ll have to find someone else.”

Triston was afraid that she might change her mind and quickly said, “No, let’s go now. Do you have a suitable place?”

Audrey said casually, “No, you decide.”

“Okay.” Triston chuckled and leaned over to open the car door, pressing one hand against the door frame to help Audrey get in.

If he was really quitting drinking, it must be for her.

Triston took Audrey to a classy bar, listening to music and casually sipping drinks. It was very relaxing.

Audrey was feeling good and got a little tipsy from drinking.

There were two adorable rosy blushes on her delicate face.

She squinted her eyes, peering through the smoke at Triston. “It is probably the boldest thing I’ve ever done.”

After she was kidnapped, she wasn’t scared at all, not even a little bit panicked.

Not only that, she also cleverly negotiated with the kidnappers and managed to turn the situation around.

Back then, this was something she couldn’t even imagine.

The experiences of these years had changed her a lot. She was not only more confident but also stronger.

Triston could tell she was really happy. He raised his glass and gently clinked it with hers. “You’re awesome, for sure!”

Audrey happily finished her drink and thought it was time to call it a day. ” Let’s go back!”

“Alright, I’ll drive you home!” Triston stood up with her, willing to accompany her wherever she wanted to go.

The car pulled up to the apartment building. Before Triston could even get out, Audrey opened the car door herself. “Bye. You go back early, too.”

She waved goodbye and then turned around to leave.

Upon hearing this, Triston suddenly quit the idea of getting out of the car.

He didn’t want to piss off Audrey, so he just stood there and watched her leave.

When Audrey went upstairs and opened the door, she immediately felt someone behind her.

She was originally a little drunk but instantly sobered up.

She acted calmly as if she didn’t notice; while opening the door, she took out her phone. Triston should still be downstairs. As soon as she gave him a call, he would come upstairs immediately.

“It’s me!” A familiar voice came through, causing Audrey to pause before dialing out.

She turned around and saw Brian standing behind her.

Brian’s face looked worn out, but his eyes were fixed on her.

Audrey sighed silently in her heart and pushed open the door. “Let’s talk inside.”

If she didn’t go in and turn on the light quickly, Triston was definitely going to come rushing up in less than five minutes.

After they entered, Audrey brought Brian a glass of water, and they sat on the sofa in the living room.

“What are you here for?” asked Audrey.

Brian took a good look at her and found out she didn’t have any obvious injuries on her body and looked very relaxed. Only then did he feel a bit relieved.

He slowly raised his thin lips and asked in a hoarse voice, “Are you okay?”

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?"
