Korbin seethed with anger, but Catherine remained composed, unaffected by his emotional display. Her beautiful eyes glanced around the room before settling on Korbin, and her lips curled into a mysterious smile that left everyone wondering what she was thinking."Mr. Swann, if you desire the position of chairperson, I can offer it to you," she calmly replied.Catherine blinked at him as if waiting for his nod of approval.The people present were shocked to hear Catherine's unexpected offer, thinking that she was arrogant. They couldn't believe that she would say such a thing.Leonel, standing behind Catherine, tried his best to maintain a serious expression. While Korbin might not have been as powerful as his father, he still held significant influence in Casier.Catherine offering him the position could easily be misinterpreted as Leonel manipulating his daughter.Catherine acted as if she were being gracious to Korbin, but her intentions were clear, to strip him of his power.

As everyone's eyes were fixed on Catherine, she walked alongside Branden and entered the restaurant. The interior design of the restaurant matched the style of the building, exuding an elegant and unique ambiance that transported people to a foreign country.They were given the largest private room, not in terms of table size, but in its expansive area, resembling a spacious, one-level restaurant. Branden handed the menu to Catherine and asked, "What would you like to eat?" Catherine didn't respond, her delicate face resting on her hand, indicating her fatigue and weariness.Branden noticed her exhaustion and sighed as he gazed at her. "Then I'll order. After we finish eating, I'll take you to rest," he said in a deep tone. Catherine had no objections. She didn't enjoy selecting dishes, so she didn't mind letting Branden decide on the meal.If there was anything she didn't like, she could choose not to eat it.Since there were only the two of them, Branden thought a simple

The crowd was left dumbfounded, unsure of what was happening.How dare Liana publicly accuse the homeroom teacher? It took a lot of nerve to do so.The homeroom teacher's expression immediately turned serious. "Liana, what are you doing? That's disrespectful. Do you think it's acceptable to speak to a teacher like that?"The math teacher saw an opportunity in Liana's accusation and quickly spoke up, saying, "Liana, if you know something, don't be afraid to share it. Don't worry. I will protect you!"Liana nodded, determined to expose Catherine's true nature at any cost. "I live with Catherine, and my parents have never called the teacher," she revealed.There had been rumors in school that Catherine was a daughter brought back from the countryside by the Swanns. Still, there had been no public evidence. Moreover, Catherine had never mentioned it, so it had always been the word on the street.Liana's statement seemed to confirm these rumors, implying that Catherine was indeed he

Bryan had never expected to become friends with Catherine. He believed he didn't deserve such an honor.Catherine possessed a commanding personality, exceptional combat skills, and remarkable intelligence.If she were an ordinary student, could she have taken a half-day leave and assumed the position of chairperson?While Bryan didn't even know which university he would attend, Catherine had already become the chairperson.Not many people could reach such a position, so naturally, Bryan wanted to be by her side.Catherine furrowed her brows slightly upon hearing Bryan's words. She wasn't a gang leader. Why would she need someone to address her as "Boss"?Ronin, that brat, often called her Boss, but she wasn't interested in acquiring another "lackey." If Ronin discovered that she was recruiting someone like Bryan, who knew what trouble it would cause?Thinking about the restless Ronin, Catherine was somewhat worried. She hesitated for a moment, lazily choosing not to respond.Br

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
