All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 60 Plot Twist
Even Leonel, who stood by Catherine’s side, was shocked, just like the secretary.
As an outstanding graduate of a world-renowned political science and law school, he had confidence in his fluency in Theisian,
the universal language. However, Creybian wasn’t his strong suit.
He worried about Catherine because Linda deliberately made things difficult for her. He feared that Catherine would end up
embarrassing herself this time.
With a blank expression, Catherine picked up the document and spent a minute meticulously reading every word on the paper.
Linda observed Catherine scanning the content and believed that she was merely putting on an act. She couldn’t hide the flicker
of disdain in her eyes.
The document was in Creybian, known as one of the most challenging languages in the world.
If Catherine had requested a translated version, Linda would have provided it. But since Catherine aimed to impress and didn’t
seek assistance, Linda chose not to offer it.
Catherine reached for the pen beside her and signed her name on the last page of the contract.
Linda’s face turned gloomy upon seeing Catherine complete the signing.
In the end, this girl was ill-suited to be the chairperson of Swann Corporation. Did she event comprehend the significance of her
signature? How dare she sign without delving into the details?
This audacious move took everyone by surprise. Catherine seemed unconcerned about making a fool of herself, so Linda
assumed she would stay on the sidelines.
From behind, Linda retrieved another document, an Eskanan translation of the Creybian contract. She looked at Catherine with a
cold expression, her attitude bordering on impoliteness.
“Miss Swann, here is the translated version. Would you like to take a look?”
Catherine accepted the documents and briefly scanned the content. She then raised her gaze slowly, her eyes ice-cold as she
stared at Linda. Her voice dripped with coldness and severity as she spoke, “Who translated this?”

Seeing her cold expression, Linda suddenly felt uneasy and stressed. She had planned to give Catherine a lesson, but now she
could only confess everything.
“Miss Swann, the translator, is the secretary in charge of our business with Creybia. Is there anything problem?” she asked.
Bago and tanned the third line. She gave Linda a cold glance,
her deep eyes sharp and chilling like an eagle, making everyone anxious.
The words she spoke were even colder and more terrifying. “As a professional Creybian translator, the person made the most
basic grammatical mistake.”
Linda quickly approached to take a look. While she wasn’t an expert in Creybian, she was proficient in eight languages and could
understand to some extent.
After reading what Catherine pointed out and carefully reviewing the content, she discovered a translation error. She was
suddenly struck with shock, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning. Embarrassment washed over her. Her plan had been
to teach Catherine a lesson, but now she found herself unable to provide an accurate translation of the document.
It wasn’t Catherine who would end up embarrassed; it was Linda herself.
Despite being middle-aged, Linda felt like a clown in the presence of Catherine, a young girl. She berated herself for lacking the
necessary abilities and attempting to embarrass others. In the end, she had only made a fool of herself.
Upon discovering the mistake, Linda immediately offered a respectful and sincere apology.” Miss Swann, I’m sorry. It was my
mistake in my work. I am willing to accept any punishment, and I ask for your forgiveness.”
Everyone present was dumbfounded. Miss Swann had already made Linda listen to her?
People had anticipated that Catherine would seize this opportunity to win Linda’s favor and gain some advantages. However, to
their surprise, Catherine publicly reprimanded Linda
without showing any mercy.
“Your performance bonus for this month will be deducted. Consider it your punishment, Catherine said with a relaxed tone.
The junior secretary beside Linda turned pale with fear, glancing at her cautiously, wondering if Linda would explode in anger.

Contrary to their expectations, Linda nodded without any retort and replied, “Thank you,
Miss Swann.”
The junior secretary couldn’t believe what she had witnessed. Cruella De Vil had vanished, and Miss Swann emerged as the true
queen.
Linda was known for her strong principles and refusal to compromise, which meant she couldn’t tolerate the slightest mistake.
She had made a mistake, and if Catherine hadn’t punished her, Linda would have looked down upon her.
On the other hand, Catherine’s actions further solidified Linda’s appreciation for her unwavering determination.
After this lesson, Linda no longer dared to make things difficult for the new chairperson. She now realized that Miss Swann was
an extraordinary individual.
Handing another document to Catherine, Linda said, “Miss Swann, this is the financial allocation for this month. Please take a
look.”
“Hmm!” Catherine responded lazily, her attitude nonchalant. However, no one dared to question her in the office. After all, they
had all witnessed the earlier scene and understood that challenging her would lead to dire consequences.
Catherine glanced at the financial allocation and could see everything. After all, the Swann Corporation was a large enterprise,
and Vicente had only hired talents. The accounts were meticulously done.
Though she could grasp everything at a glance, her eyes narrowed, and a sudden change came over her face as she noticed a
particular personal allocation.
Linda no longer underestimated Catherine and promptly detected the shift in her expression. “Miss Swann, this is a personal
fund request from Mr. Johnathan. It went through a private account, and one million was transferred from here last week,” Linda
explained promptly. Catherine furrowed her brows, feeling perplexed. “Does he have the authority to do that?”
“Miss Swann, this was demanded by Mr. Johnathan. His uncle is the finance manager in charge of disbursements, and the
Swanns’ children have monthly allowances. This is considered an advance payment, and he has already exceeded the limit by
over three million.”
Johnathan had previously restrained himself while Vicente was alive, requesting only small amounts, typically a few hundred
thousand.

After all, Johnathan was Vicente’s grandson, so he had never taken this issue seriously.
However, after Vicente’s passing, Johnathan began acting without restraint. He saw himself as the Swanns’ heir and took
advantage of the Swann Corporation. With his relative serving as the finance manager, he found various excuses to borrow
money from the company.
After Linda clarified the situation, Catherine’s face darkened. She issued an order to Linda, saying, “Notify the HR department to
terminate the employment of this finance manager due to negligence in his duties.”
Even Linda was taken aback by such a command.
Linda had just mentioned that the finance manager was Johnathan’s uncle, which meant he was Catherine’s uncle as well.
Was Catherine truly planning to fire her own uncle?
Linda hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly, “Miss Swann, are you absolutely sure about this?”
Catherine raised her head slowly, her cold gaze fixed on Linda, exuding an imposing and intimidating aura that sent shivers
down one’s spine.
“What seems to be the problem? Wasn’t I clear enough?” she calmly inquired.
However, her seemingly plain words carried a strong undercurrent of threat.
Even Linda, an experienced businesswoman, felt a sense of fear. “Yes, Miss Swann. I will issue the instructions to the HR
department today,” she promptly responded.
“Is there anything else I can assist you with, Miss Swann?”
Catherine waved her hand dismissively, and Linda, along with the junior secretary, respectfully exited the office. Linda even
closed the office door behind her before leaving.
Once they were gone, the junior secretary patted her chest in relief and said to Linda, “Linda, Miss Swann has such a
commanding presence. It’s hard to believe she’s still a student.”
Linda glanced at the secretary, silently conveying that she was completely unaware of the true situation.
Then she walked away with a mysterious smile.

“The new chairperson looks like a kitten but is a tiger. It seems that the Swann Corporation will change upside down,” she
thought.
