All Her Secrets

Chapter 600 Welcome Back, Miss Swann

The reason Thomas didn’t agree to go to the Duncans’ old mansion but followed Catherine was because he wanted to talk to her privately.

Catherine noticed this, so she took the keys from Branden and left with Thomas. Catherine leaned casually on the corridor, revealing her perfect figure effortlessly.

A gentle breeze tousled her hair, causing it to flutter in the wind.

Thomas glanced at her. When he first met Catherine, she was only eleven years old.

At that time, she already showed her sharpness as a rebellious and cold teenage girl.

There was no childishness in her that should have been present at her age and no ordinary warmth. She was like a cold machine, indifferent to everything.

However, ever since he learned about her relationship with Branden, he saw different emotions in Catherine’s eyes. She seemed to become just like an ordinary little girl.

He was genuinely happy for Catherine. He didn’t expect to see this in his lifetime, and it was a rare sight. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“I heard you’ve contacted the Breens?”

Catherine confronted the Facers through the Breens, extracting a considerable sum. Although it was confidential, for the major families, it wasn’t difficult to uncover such information.

Many people now wanted to know Catherine’s true identity. After returning to the Swanns, she quickly took control of the whole family with strength. That was already astonishing.

What was more, who would have thought she was also the mastermind behind the Skybow Group and now connected to the Breens?

The Breens, on her behalf, took the initiative to approach the Facers.

Otherwise, how could the Facers, firmly rooted in Loxton for a century, easily hand over half of their family fortune to Catherine?

The Duncans had always been secretly using their connections to keep Catherine’s identity hidden. Others might not understand the intricacies, but Thomas was one of the few who knew the situation.

“I received a message. Shane wants you to go back, right?”

“Heh.” Catherine looked up and chuckled, her indifferent eyes filled with disdain and coldness. “Should I just go if he wants me to go back?”

She was used to ordering others; no one had the authority to order her.

Catherine glanced at the time; 15 minutes remained until her scheduled meeting with Linda. Driving from here would be just right.

“I’m leaving if there’s no other business.”

Watching Catherine’s graceful departure, Thomas shook his head helplessly. He didn’t know how things would develop in the end.

After Catherine kicked Scott out of the car, he hurried to his grandfather. ” Grandpa, did you make Catherine angry?”

Thomas glared at him angrily. “Kid, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“If you didn’t anger Catherine, why did she leave with such a cold aura, as if she was about to settle something with someone?” Scott looked puzzled as he stared at his grandfather. The way Catherine carried herself made it seem like she was prepared to take on an entire group alone.

Thomas sighed. Catherine would have to resolve this herself.

After figuring that out, Thomas raised his hand and slapped the back of Scott’s head. He shouted, “You brat, come on, let’s go for a walk!”

Scott rubbed his head in pain, his face twisted. “Grandpa, can’t you speak nicely? Why did you hit me?”

The two bickered as they left.

At 2:10 p.m., Catherine’s car smoothly parked in front of the Swann Corporation building.

She drove Branden’s car, a symbol of top-tier status in both the license plate and emblem. The security guard approached promptly, opening the car door courteously.

“Miss, may I ask which floor you’re going to and whom you’re looking for?”

Catherine glanced and saw that the security personnel at the Swann Corporation had changed since she was last there.

Linda, who had been waiting downstairs, saw Catherine and immediately approached along with her team, respectfully bowing to Catherine.

“Welcome back, Miss Swann. We’re honored to have you inspecting.”

After her words, the high-ranking executives behind her collectively shouted, exuding an imposing and somewhat domineering aura.

The security guard was momentarily stunned. Although he had heard that the current chairperson was a young lady, he hadn’t seen her, and he never expected the young chairperson to be so young and beautiful.

After regaining his composure, the security guard stood straight and respectfully saluted Catherine.

“Good afternoon, Miss Swann!”

Catherine glanced at him, and Linda immediately stepped forward. “Miss Swann, these security personnel just took office this month. Following your instructions, we rotate positions every month.”

Catherine had requested regular rotation for security positions, especially at the front gate.

Although seemingly inconspicuous, these positions could have a fatal impact. Anyone entering or leaving the company would encounter the gate security.

If one person stayed in this position for too long, there was a risk of people seeking opportunities for personal gain.

If a security guard understood the attendance patterns of internal employees and leaked that information, it could significantly impact the company.

Catherine nodded slightly and replied coldly, “Good.”

With her cold reply, the atmosphere among those present seemed to deflate.

Despite Catherine’s young age and resemblance to current pop stars, her business acumen, as reflected in the Swann Corporation’s financial reports over the past two quarters, was beyond what even Vicente could achieve. The decisions that led to significant profits were all projects approved by Catherine, this new chairperson.

Vicente’s two right-hand men, Leonel and Linda, were now following her orders obediently.

The company’s continuous growth was assured even if she wasn’t physically present at the Swann Corporation.

With such capabilities, who would dare to underestimate her?

“Miss Swann, please follow me.” Linda led Catherine up to the top-floor conference room of the Swann Corporation.

Catherine instructed Linda to display the cooperation plan with the Grelin Group on the large screen in the conference room.

Sitting at the head of the table, Catherine’s posture was extremely casual, in stark contrast to the serious executives below.

Yet, none dared to underestimate her presence.

As her spokesperson, Linda stood dutifully at her side.

Linda immediately conveyed her message with a slight lift of Catherine’s gaze.

“Managers, Miss Swann would like to hear your opinions on this project. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.”

With these words, discussions erupted below.

Some advocated for continuing the collaboration, while others believed the required capital was too vast, posing a threat to the Swann Corporation’s stability.

After all, with the Swann Corporation flourishing, there was no need to take such a risky gamble.

Since the Grelin Group had yielded and was willing to bear all the consequences by withdrawing, it might be better to drop this project.
