When the exam began, the math teacher entered the classroom and distributed the papers. She immediately noticed that Catherine was sleeping on the desk as usual and didn't wake her up.As the students received their exam papers, Catherine continued to sleep, undisturbed.Even halfway through the exam, Catherine remained in slumber.Only in the last five minutes did Catherine finally wake up.Wearing a smug smile, the math teacher believed Catherine had barely enough time to write her name on the paper.The math teacher thought Catherine would lose the bet this time, and it would be a relief to get rid of her troublesome presence in the school.The students stood up as the exam bell rang and turned in their papers."Catherine was no exception. The math teacher glanced at her without bothering to look at her answers.In the math teacher's view, five minutes wouldn't be sufficient to answer even a single question. She thought, "I won't waste my time on her."The math teacher was
Even Leonel, who stood by Catherine's side, was shocked, just like the secretary.As an outstanding graduate of a world-renowned political science and law school, he had confidence in his fluency in Theisian, the universal language. However, Creybian wasn't his strong suit. He worried about Catherine because Linda deliberately made things difficult for her. He feared that Catherine would end up embarrassing herself this time.With a blank expression, Catherine picked up the document and spent a minute meticulously reading every word on the paper.Linda observed Catherine scanning the content and believed that she was merely putting on an act. She couldn't hide the flicker of disdain in her eyes.The document was in Creybian, known as one of the most challenging languages in the world.If Catherine had requested a translated version, Linda would have provided it. But since Catherine aimed to impress and didn't seek assistance, Linda chose not to offer it.Catherine reached for t
Soon, everyone else left, leaving only Catherine and Leonel in the spacious chairperson's office.Knowing that it wasn't the right time earlier with others around, Leonel finally mustered the courage to speak up. "Miss Swann, do you intend to shake up the Swann Corporation?" he asked.Catherine casually reclined on the genuine leather sofa. "Something is decaying here. Should we let it fester instead of cutting it off?" she responded without even glancing at Leonel.She was right, but the Swanns was not ordinary.It was inevitable for prestigious families to have their share of hidden secrets.Moreover, Eskana culture placed a high value on familial connections. People often trusted their relatives and friends rather than hiring outside talent for important positions. Over time, this led to issues and problems within companies.After giving it some thought, Leonel concluded that he should still remind Catherine so she could make the right decision. "Miss Swann, even when your gra
While Johnathan yelled and screamed, Catherine remained unfazed, as if he didn't even exist.Seeing that he failed to provoke a reaction from her, Johnathan grew even more upset."Catherine, you think you are the boss here, huh? Why aren't you saying anything?"Are you guilty? Scared?"Catherine took the office nameplate and showed it to Johnathan.Johnathan was about to continue yelling, but her action puzzled him. "What do you mean by this?" he asked with a confused look on him."Ha!" Catherine sneered, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain and mockery. "I may not be highly educated, but does Mr. Johnathan not know how to read either?"As Johnathan continued to struggle with understanding, Leonel, who stood behind Catherine, stepped in to clarify."Mr. Johnathan, the nameplate says 'chairperson.' Each nameplate represents the responsibility and identity of an individual. Miss Swann's nameplate says 'chairperson,' signifying that she is the highest decision-maker of the Swann
Korbin had been aware of Johnathan's presence at the Swann Corporation from the moment he stepped in. He knew his son had a volatile temper. However, with everything he had been dealing with since his father's passing, he had no time to pay attention to Johnathan. Despite hearing rumors about the brat's behavior, he couldn't be bothered by it. He believed Johnathan's visit would cause trouble for Catherine and put her in her place.Little did he expect to hear about the beating. The news shocked him, and he found it hard to believe. He knew Catherine was bold, but would she seriously dare to beat Johnathan in the company publicly?He dropped everything and rushed to Catherine's office, only to be met with a scene that left him astounded.Catherine had indeed beaten Johnathan and had not held back.Even in his presence, Catherine's expression remained cold and unchanged, showing no signs of emotion.In Korbin's eyes, her behavior was deeply disrespectful towards him. Catherine
Rachael rushed to the hospital and was horrified to find Johnathan lying in bed, covered in bruises. His face appeared pale and lifeless, almost as if he were dead. It shook her to the core, causing her legs to weaken. While she loved Liana dearly, Johnathan held a special place in her heart. After all, she gained a foothold in the Swanns only because she had given birth to a son.Approaching him cautiously, Rachael felt her hands trembling, unsure of how to handle the situation. "Johnny, how did this happen to you?"Johnathan held a grudge against his father for not standing up for him. However, Korbin had always been harsh to his kids, so he dared not speak up.However, now that he had his mother as his staunch supporter, everything felt different.Despite the pain, Johnathan summoned the strength to sit up and rushed toward Rachael.The sudden movement caused him intense pain, tears streaming down his face, making his plea more convincing. "Mommy, you're finally here! If you
Bryan's concern grew as he looked at Catherine. The presence of the principal in their class indicated the seriousness of the situation. He hesitated for a moment. As the current situation became increasingly dire, he decided to wake Catherine before making further decisions."Boss, something is up! Wake up!" The next moment, after he finished speaking, Catherine slowly awakened and glanced at him.Bryan felt awkward as he pointed towards the stage where several people stood.Catherine looked up and saw the group of individuals on the stage. She remained unfazed by the math teacher's malicious gaze.Although she had just woken up, Catherine's usually cold expression had transformed into a slightly endearing look of laziness.Standing on the stage, the math teacher was infuriated by Catherine's lack of guilt. She waved a few exam papers in her hand and confidently addressed the students of Class 8. "Present here are the outstanding students of Sincere High School. Class 8 has a
After Bryan called out, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.Now, the entire class was waiting for Bryan's explanation.Bryan did not back down either, and he met everyone's eyes."Catherine made it clear," Bryan said confidently. "Since the test questions can't be leaked out, it is therefore impossible for her to get it in advance and cheat. Furthermore, if she were to cheat, the only option would be to copy from someone else. No one scored higher than her, so who would she have copied from?"The logic is so simple. How can you all not figure it out?"When Bryan said that, it finally dawned on everyone, and they nodded."That makes sense!""That makes a lot of sense!""It is more than making sense," David said. "Whatever Bryan says is a fact!"Everyone rolled their eyes at David.Hearing this, the homeroom teacher found that it made sense too. She looked at the principal, waiting for his statement.However, the math teacher still refused to believe it. "Who knows
