Chapter 455 He Is On My Side
In half an hour, a black Harley- Davidson motorbike stopped before the lobby entrance of the Swann Corporation.
The security guards, who had been used to seeing luxurious cars, were not accustomed to seeing the motorbike. They felt it was strange. They approached immediately, wanting to stop the lady riding it from parking her bike there.
“Miss, sorry. You can’t…”
Catherine shoved her leg backward and got off the bike. She even took off her helmet as she stood still.
Her fair and exquisite face was revealed. She looked like a fine sculpture, breathtakingly beautiful. No one would dare to take her for granted upon seeing her beauty.
The bodyguards were astonished by her beauty. They froze for a few seconds before realizing they should be asking her to leave.
One of the security guards approached Catherine and said politely, “Miss, I’m sorry, but I have to ask you to leave. This is not a parking area.”
Catherine glanced at him coldly. Her exquisite face looked cold and oppressive.
Before Catherine could speak, hasty footsteps came from behind them.
“Wait…”
The security guards heard the voice, and their attitudes were respectful.
Leonel and Linda strode toward them. Linda’s high heels made tapping sounds as she walked.
Seeing the two security guards stopping Catherine from entering, Linda’s gaze turned sharp.
“Keep your eyes open. This is Miss Swann.”
The security guards were startled. They knew the company’s chairperson had become the former chairperson’s granddaughter.
However, none of them had expected the granddaughter of the chairperson to be so young. Catherine noticed Linda was trying to help her establish her credibility and wanted to scold the security guards. She quickly interrupted.
“Let’s do what’s important first.”
“Sure!” answered Linda respectfully as she followed Catherine into the building. Looking at them leaving, the two security guards gossiped.
“Looks like Miss Swann, who can inherit the company at such a young age, is not simple. Even Linda is so respectful to her. Linda had never even treated Mr. Swann so respectfully.”
“Miss Swann is not only young and beautiful. She even had an oppressive temperament. Who said the Swann Corporation is doomed? I think it will have a better future with such a leader.”
Catherine and Linda would never know what the security guards had been gossiping about. After they entered the office, Leonel urged Linda to report the company’s situation to Catherine.
“Miss Swann, we suspect Mr. Swann had transferred the Swann Corporation’s assets.
They had suspected this earlier but were still investigating. No matter what, Korbin was Catherine’s father, and they would not dare to accuse him without evidence. However, Catherine looked calm upon hearing that, which was unexpected.
They thought Catherine did not believe them. Linda and Leonel looked at each other and took out the evidence.
“Miss Swann, this is the information of a trading company in Oceanvile. Mr. Swann, your father, is the owner of this company.”
It would not be strange for someone like Korbin to have many companies under his name. Having money and investing in many places was normal. So, it was understandable, even if he forgot how many companies he had.
However, Linda found out this company had been established lately and had something to do with the Winfreds in Oceanvile. Then, they found evidence of Korbin transferring the assets.
They had never expected Korbin to be so despicable. The first thing they did after the investigation was to inform Catherine. Catherine looked at the documents on the table and casually flipped through the pages.
When Linda saw Catherine seem to not care, she thought Catherine had not realized how serious this matter was and explained again.
“Miss Swann, although retrieving these transferred assets is difficult, we can’t just do nothing. If you can give out an order for the higher-ups to take action, we might be able to cover some of those losses.
Linda was anxious deep down and was not as calm as she seemed. She had no confidence in how much they could reduce the loss.
Korbin would never be reckless. He had planned this and was well prepared. Since this had happened, it would be difficult for them to stop it.
Catherine rejected Linda’s suggestion indifferently.
“Leave it. We don’t have to do anything. Linda was anxious that Catherine was doing nothing even when the situation was so bad.
She admired Catherine’s calmness, but this was a big matter. She could understand settling it calmly, but Catherine would at least have to think of a way to fix things.
Linda had already given a solution, yet Catherine put on an indifferent expression and even asked them to do nothing. She could not understand what Catherine meant.
Leonel stood up upon noticing Linda’s anxiousness. He glanced at Linda. Linda beckoned him to take over, and she retreated to the back.
Leonel stepped forward. He knew Catherine better than Linda. He had seen Catherine turning the tables in many impossible situations. From the moment he got to know Catherine, she had been cold toward everyone and everything.
That was her character, being calm in every crisis.
“Miss Swann, do you have other plans?
Please tell us so that we could come up with a solution.”
Catherine shook her head indifferently. “I have no plans.”
The cold tone extinguished Leonel’s enthusiasm.
Leonel was troubled, thinking Catherine could not come up with anything this time. Suddenly, Catherine spoke again. She said something out of the topic.
“Erick Olsen is with me.”
Leonel did not think much and subconsciously answered, “Who is Erick Olsen? Miss Swann, we are discussing about…”
Catherine lifted her eyebrow. Her gaze was so cold that it ran a chill down his spine.
“Erick Olsen?” Leonel’s eyes lit up, and he turned around and asked Linda, ” What’s the name of the new heir of the Winfreds?”
Linda did not expect him to react like that and was startled momentarily before answering, “If I did not remember wrongly, his name is Erick.”
Leonel turned back around excitedly and stared at Catherine.
“Miss Swann, Erick Olsen is your people?” He sounded uncertain and surprised. Catherine said nothing, but he could see the answer from her expression.
He clapped his hands happily as he said to Linda, “Linda, let’s go for a drink and relax tonight. We don’t have to worry about the rest.”
Linda did not understand what was happening and looked at Leonel in a puzzle.
Leonel explained patiently when he noticed Linda did not know what was happening.
“Don’t you even understand this? Erick is Catherine’s man, meaning the Winfred Group is in Miss Swann’s control. No matter how much Korbin transfers, he has to go through the Winfreds. So, in the end, the assets would still go to Miss Swann.”
Linda finally understood what they meant. She looked at Catherine with her jaw dropped.
“Miss Swann, do you have superpowers like predicting the future?”
