Chapter 573 See What You Got
The Duncan Manor stood tall and imposing.
Paxton, holding the latest intelligence, approached the door of the study. Once
granted permission, he cautiously pushed open the door. “Boss, there's some
information regarding the Swanns. Would you like to take a look?”
In the past, Paxton would have handled such matters himself without reporting to
anyone. But things were different now; she was the head of the Swanns, and she
would be Branden’s wife. That was to say, the Swanns were now considered part
of the Duncans’ interests, so it was natural to report such matters to Branden.
Branden glanced over, frowning slightly. “Grelin Group?”
Paxton bowed and responded, “Boss, the Grelin Group is backed by the Coopers
from Loxton, who are the in- laws of Mr. Facer.”
Noble families loved powerful alliances, and Jada’s mother also came from a
prestigious background, with her family’s influence matching that of the Facers.
Otherwise, Jada wouldn't have gained Conor's favor and affection.
Branden’s deep eyes narrowed slightly as he coldly stated, “Keep an eye on
Grelin Group and find out what they're up to.”
If Jada was not too foolish, she should know precisely what the consequences
would be.
“Do we need to inform Miss Swann about this?” Paxton asked.
“No need. Kathy just started school recently and is busy with her studies,”
Branden replied. His initially cold voice softened noticeably when he mentioned
Catherine.
Paxton complained inwardly, “Come on. To her, going to university was just a way
of experiencing a different life. How could she be busy with her studies? That's
definitely not going to happen!”
Branden handed the signed documents to Paxton. “Get me a ticket for the
morning flight to Loxton,” he ordered.
Paxton was taken aback. “Isn't it supposed to be in the evening?”
There was an important meeting in the afternoon, and negotiations for a project
were scheduled for the evening. In order to return to Loxton as quickly as
possible, they had already been squeezing their schedule with no extra time. And
now, Branden was asking to leave even earlier. Perhaps this was what “going to
extreme lengths for the sake of love’ meant.
Branden fixed Paxton with a cold gaze. Paxton was so frightened that he
immediately knelt.
“Sorry, Boss. I will prepare it for you right away!”
When Catherine woke up in the morning, she received a call from Linda. During
her time at school, she had specifically assigned personnel to watch over the
Swann Corporation. Besides the professional manager, there was also Linda, the
secretary left behind by her grandfather.
“Miss Swann, there's a significant potential investment opportunity in a recent
large-scale collaboration, but it involves a substantial amount. It may need your
advice,” Linda said.
Having worked for the Swann Corporation for so many years, Linda wouldn't
contact Catherine unless she met something she wasn't sure about.
Catherine responded, “Send the documents to my email,” and then hung up the
phone.
“Catherine, we need to pick up the pace. Otherwise, we'll be late for Professor
Hartley's class today!”
Amelia stood at the door, raising her voice to get Catherine's attention.
Catherine strode over to her. “Let's go!”
Ever since Hero publicly invited Catherine to join his team and was rejected,
Catherine's status in Amelia's eyes had risen several notches. Now, she
regarded Catherine as her idol, better than anyone else.
The two hurried to the classroom, and just as they entered, the bell for class
rang. Amelia once again gave Catherine a thumbs-up. “Catherine, you're
amazing! You've calculated the journey down to the last second!”
Along the way, Amelia had been fretting about being late, whispering to
Catherine to hurry up. Catherine, however, calmly assured her that with their
walking speed, they would make it to the classroom before the bell, so there was
no need to worry.
Amelia now finally understood why Catherine was always so composed. It wasn't
just confidence; it was also meticulous planning. If she could calculate every
detail-distances, speed, frequencies-so accurately, she might also have that
same composure. But these were things that an ordinary person could never
achieve, which set Catherine apart as a “super” individual.
As they found their seats and saw Jada enter with the teaching materials, Amelia
couldn't help but roll her eyes silently. Her impression of Jada was deteriorating,
and she found Jada more and more annoying.
“Her again?” Amelia complained, but Catherine remained silent. She didn’t care
who was teaching her. After all, she wasn't interested in any of the content.
Seeing Catherine's silence, Amelia quietly warned her, “Catherine, that woman is
giving you strange looks. You should be careful.”
Catherine glanced at Jada. At that moment, Jada also looked back. Their eyes
met, and the hatred in Jada’s eyes was unmistakable. She clenched her hands
on the desk, forcefully breaking the chalk in her grip.
Catherine, however, remained composed, with a demeanor that made it clear to
any discerning person that she didn’t care about Jada.

Jada did her best to suppress her anger. “Everyone, Professor Hartley will join us
