Chapter 9
In the face of Rachael’s and her son’s threats, Catherine looked calm. Her expression did not change even a bit.
It was as if she had expected all this to happen. Catherine took out another piece of A4 paper neatly folded from her pocket.
It was the “Law of Succession” earlier. What was it now?
This piece of paper was for Rachael.
As Catherine handed the paper to her, Rachael reached out to take it. At a look at it, she almost fainted from anger.
[Declaration To Terminate Parent-Child Relationship]
The girl was truly ruthless!
Catherine looked lightly at Rachael. Compared to how angry Rachael looked with a flushed face, Catherine was clearly much calmer.
“You are only my biological parents. I will cooperate anytime if you want to terminate your parent-child relationship with me. Leonel gave me this. He said you only need to sign on it!”
After speaking to Rachael, Catherine turned her eyes to Johnathan slowly.
Her eyes shone with bone-chilling coldness and spookiness, but the smile on her face was so gentle.
The significant difference left Johnathan shivering in fear. He swallowed nervously and spoke only after moistening his throat, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Grandpa originally owned this mansion. If you terminate your relationship with me, you will be the one kicked out of this mansion!”
Catherine sounded so calm. It was as if this had nothing to do with her, that she was merely an announcer.
Johnathan was so scared that he almost threw himself into Rachael’s arms and cried.
The look in the country girl’s eyes was too terrifying!
Rachael was so angry that she was literally fuming. She could only turn to Korbin for help.
“Korbin, do you hear what the ungrateful brat is saying? She wants to eat all of us alive!”
With his brows furrowed, Korbin fixed Catherine with a questioning gaze.
He was sensitive to think that this was too much of a coincidence. The girl seemed to have predicted everything, as she had prepared a perfect strategy against their every move.
Catherine would never have been able to do so if she was just an ignorant and stupid girl from the countryside. Could she have someone behind her back to advise and help her?
The Swanns’ fortune was much more than tens of thousands of dollars. It was worth up to tens of billions of dollars.
Korbin looked at Catherine patiently. “Catherine, your grandfather had worked hard to build the Swann Corporation all his life. You weren’t at home, so you don’t know how important all this is to us. The Swann Corporation must be managed by one of the Swanns. It would be most appropriate to hand it over to me for management. You are too young. You will ruin the Swann Corporation, and I will never allow the company to be ruined just like this!
“If you refuse to see sense, I will have to hold a press conference for the society to determine who should get the inheritance.”
“There’s no need for that!” Catherine stopped Korbin’s words decisively.
Her reaction left Korbin hopeful. He thought that Catherine was scared and had therefore decided to step down.
After all, she was just an ignorant teenage girl. She must be scared out of her wits at the sound of holding a press conference.
However…
“I’ve accepted the invitation for an exclusive interview with The International Economics.”
The International Economics?
It was the top economic newspaper in the world. Even Korbin had never been invited for an interview with them. He couldn’t believe the girl would be invited for an exclusive interview.
Korbin stared at Catherine unbelievingly. He was so angry that he was shaking. “You are going to ruin the Swann Corporation!”
In the face of Korbin, who was abnormally agitated, Catherine smiled playfully. There was a trace of decisiveness in her eyes.
“Don’t worry. The Swann Corporation won’t be ruined in my hands. Give me three months. If I can’t increase the Swann Corporation’s share price by 30%, I’ll give you the signed Letter of Authorization.”
Catherine was so arrogant. Korbin had been working as the General Manager of the Swann Corporation for ten years, and he could only promise to maintain the company’s stock price. To think
that Catherine even wanted to increase the stock price by 30%!
It was a fool’s talk!
How dared a young girl like her to say something so outrageous!
Korbin wanted to see how Catherine would come begging for his help while crying then.
A trace of cruelty flashed across Korbin’s darkened face. He looked at Catherine seriously.
“Okay, you have my word. Don’t go back on your word then!”
Catherine took out another piece of paper neatly folded from her pocket and threw it at Korbin.
“I never go back on my word!”
With that, Catherine left briskly.
Korbin unfolded the piece of paper. There were two words printed on the top of it.
