Chapter 179 A Particularly Important Person

The clock rang, and the Ferris wheel came to a stop. The door opened, and a long, straight leg appeared from the gondola.

Just seeing the leg alone was enough to set the audience screaming. Audrey tugged at Catherine’s sleeve in excitement, unable to control her emotions.

The man slowly showed up. His handsome face was like a work of art, well-defined and gorgeous, making people unable to move their eyes from him. A long black trench coat aptly framed his perfect figure.

As expected of a big star, his every smile was well-practiced, gentle, and polite. He appeared to be flawless in managing his expressions.

Catherine looked down at Audrey, who was on the verge of passing over with joy and couldn’t help but give a reminder. “Don’t forget, you’re a celebrity. Can you please mind your expression?”

Kim was now anxious before the screen. When he saw that someone finally understood his feelings, he couldn’t help but shed tears of excitement.

It seemed that begging Catherine to be here in the first place was the best decision he could make. If it wasn’t for Catherine being so upright, he didn’t know what Audrey would have done. If Audrey was to appear on the program alone, he was afraid that her acting career would be cut short by now.

Catherine remained emotionless while the crowd around her was just as ecstatic as Audrey was. Seeing this, Audrey couldn’t help but explain the situation to Catherine.

“Kathy, you may not know about this, but the man here is a national idol. He’s a dream to many youngsters!

“His name is Grayson Clifford, one of the hottest names in entertainment right now. Unlike some minor celebrities who can be replaced casually, he is a real big star who receives attention all year round. Wherever he goes, he attracts all. He’s a popular and awesome idol.

“Kathy, do you know? Grayson has won many awards at such a young age…”

Audrey excitedly listed all the major awards Grayson had won over the years to Catherine. Catherine felt that if Audrey had focused on her job like that, Kim wouldn’t have had to emphasize everything to her, over and over again.

Grayson smiled at the camera and greeted the crowd. Then, he exchanged greetings with the various groups of guests.

The first person he greeted was naturally Cindy, the most popular star among them. He had once worked with Cindy, but Grayson was new to the industry then.

No one had expected that this young and handsome youth would make such a terrifying progression in just a short period.

“Ms. Hill, we meet again. How have you been?”

He had a humble attitude, detached and cold but polite. Even Cindy, who had always liked to put on the airs of elders, could not find any fault with him.

After the two of them briefly exchanged pleasantries, Grayson greeted the Parkers before turning to Audrey. Audrey’s eyes lit up with a rare excitement when she saw him.

Grayson greeted her with a polite attitude that was a bit puzzling. Before Audrey could figure it out, she was shocked by Grayson’s action.

When Grayson moved in front of Catherine, anyone with eyes that his attitude had changed. s could see Grayson was courteous and impeccably perfect to everyone just now.

However, one could feel the detached coldness of his attitude. It was as though he had a natural ability to keep people at a distance.

However, he was somewhat different when he stood in front of Catherine. He straightened his back as much as he could, and his eyes lit looked at Catherine. up when he

“Catherine, I didn’t expect to be able to meet you. I’m so happy!”

The hard-to-approach boy seemed to become a half-grown child in front of Catherine in seconds. He smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into slits. Audrey was shocked. Not only Audrey but everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

Especially so for Grayson’s fans. It was the first time they saw their idol treating someone in such a warm manner. They had never expected to see such a scene.

“Kathy, do you know Peerless Grayson? “Audrey asked, Peerless Grayson was the fans’ alias for him because his achievements were just too amazing. They thought he was peerless in this industry.

Catherine looked up slightly with an inscrutable look on her face. Grayson heard Audrey’s question and took the initiative to respond. “Audrey, I have known Catherine for a long time. She’s particularly important to me!”

He emphasized the words “particularly important” on purpose, with an extremely ambiguous attitude. Catherine gazed at him gently. She was well aware of his thoughts.

Sensing her gaze, Grayson silently pursed his lips. Somewhat aggravated, he then took the initiative to clear up the ambiguity.

“Don’t get me wrong, guys. I said she’s important to me as Catherine is my teacher. I learned a lot from her and I’m especially grateful to her.”

Everyone wanted to hear the story of what had happened between them. However, they didn’t dare to ask Catherine because she always gave off a feeling of authority, even though she was not angry. Sometimes, people would be too scared to be near her.

But Audrey was different. As Catherine’s sister, her personality was the opposite. The crowd fixed their eyes on Audrey, signaling her to go ahead with the gossip.

Although she knew it would be difficult to get an answer, Audrey could not stop her curiosity and took the initiative to ask Catherine.

“Kathy, what have you taught Peerless Grayson? You’re so awesome that even Peerless Grayson calls you his teacher?”

Catherine cast a cold glance at her, her expression indifferent without a trace of warmth. “We’re here to film the program, not to catch up.”

“Oh!” Audrey nodded dully after being lectured. The director in front of the display sighed in relief. Finally, someone remembered that this was a variety show. The groups of guests returned to their positions, and the following program began in earnest.

Each of the three groups was assigned the task of cleaning the zoo, and the first group to complete it with the highest rating would win, and the winner would receive a reward.

Catherine rolled her eyes

expressionlessly at the director’s arrangement while Audrey couldn’t help but complain, “Director, can you come up with some creative ideas the next time? This is too childish!”

The director was speechless and looked at the troublesome sisters with a dark face. He cursed to himself, “A couple of pain in the asses.”

Everyone felt that the new game was childish. However, they went along with it since it was the director’s idea.

Since Audrey was the first to find the answer, Grayson joined her group. Everyone thought that Audrey’s group was going to win this time.

After all, there were three of them, and would be more efficient than two. Moreover, Audrey’s group had always been the first group to complete, so there was no suspense.

However, everyone seemed to forget that nothing was a sure thing for Catherine. At the next event, it was an eye-opener for the audience once again!

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?"
