Chapter 52
Korbin seethed with anger, but Catherine remainedposed, unaffected by his emotional disy.
Her beautiful eyes nced around the room before settling on Korbin, and her lips curled into. a
mysterious smile that left everyone wondering what she was thinking.
“Mr. Swann, if you desire the position of chairperson, I can offer it to you,” she calmly replied.
Catherine blinked at him as if waiting for his nod of approval.
The people present were shocked to hear Catherine’s unexpected offer, thinking that she was arrogant.
They couldn’t believe that she would say such a thing.
Leonel, standing behind Catherine, tried his best to maintain a serious expression. While Korbin might
not have been as powerful as his father, he still held significant influence in Casier.
Catherine offering him the position could easily be misinterpreted as Leonel manipting his daughter.
Catherine acted as if she were being gracious to Korbin, but her intentions were clear, to strip. him of
his power. It was a brilliant strategic move on her part.
Korbin scrutinized Catherine carefully, his eyes cold and resembling those of a venomous snake.
In his eyes, this girl was young, ignorant, and full of herself.
In his opinion, she was a naive girl who had lost touch with reality after suddenly bing the heir to a
major corporation.
He found it absurd that she would dare to mock him. She, indeed, was a jinx. Whenever she showed
up, there would be problems for the Swanns.
Today, he would hand over the chairperson position to her. He wanted to see how this girl could raise
the stock price within three months.
He believed she would give up within that time, if not sooner. Running apany was not as easy as
she seemed to think.
She thought running apany was easy, didn’t she?
He thought about everything in his mind.
“Since you want me to assume the position of chairperson, I’ll help you this time and allow you to gain
some experience. But remember our agreement!” he replied.
After understanding Korbin’s message, Catherine nodded at him and responded, “I always
“Hmph!” Korbin snorted coldly, stood up, and left the meeting room.
Why would he stay here? He didn’t want to be Catherine’sckey.
The other shareholders followed suit, leaving the room one by one.
Catherine was ready to leave the room as well. However, a woman in a ck suit blocked her path.
The woman had oversized sunsses on her face, a severe expression, and spoke without emotion.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Swann. I am the chairman’s secretary. You can call me Linda. This is the
material that Mr. Swann asked me to bring to you. The meeting is over, so you can officially start your
position. There will be many documents and projects for you to sign and handle. I hope you can get to
know them as soon as possible, and it will be best if you can be prepared by tomorrow.”
After speaking, she ced a huge pile of files next to Catherine.
To familiarize herself with all these files in a day was mission impossible.
After cing the items down, Linda bowed to Catherine and exited.
Catherine nced at the files on the table and then turned to Leonel, thewyer standing beside her.
She raised an eyebrow, disying her carefree and dominant demeanor.
Leonel understood her silent inquiry and lowered his voice to exin. “Linda is indeed the secretary,
and she has a formidable reputation within the Swann Corporation.”
Catherine noticed that when Leonel mentioned Linda, he widened his eyes. Catherine took a nce at
him, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes exuded a cold and arrogant aura. “Tell me more!”
Leonel continued in a hushed tone, “Everyone in the Swann Corporation knows Linda. She is highly
efficient and ruthless in her methods, earning her the nickname ‘Crue De Vil.’ Even your father
couldn’t control her when she was angry. Her attitude towards you is considered normal, as she doesn’t
show favoritism to anyone, not even your father.”
“Is she good at her job?” Catherine tilted her head. If it weren’t for her cold eyes, she could. have
looked adorable with her expression and bodynguage.
Upon hearing Catherine’s question, Leonel promptly raised his thumb and said, “She is the best!”
If Linda could gain approval from Leonel, she must have extraordinary business skills.
Catherine had already sensed this. Linda didn’t seem to underestimate her, but her gaze only held pure
dislike.
Whether or not Linda liked her was inconsequential. She wasn’t concerned about being universally
liked, she was focused on achieving her goals.
Leonel rubbed his nose, and his eyes showed a hint of helplessness, for he thought he would climb to
a higher position after working for years.
He used to be a sessfulwyer, with people begging him to help withwsuits every day. How did
he end up like this young girl’s assistant nove?
Vicente had indeed caused him a lot of trouble!
Looking at the towering stack of documents on the table, Leonel was a bit overwhelmed. Reading
everything within a day would be challenging even for a super genius.
There was still some time before afternoon sses, and Catherine had nned to rest
somewhere. Unfortunately, she would have no choice but read these documents
She turned her head, nced at Lawyer Leonel, and said, “If you have other ns, you are free to go.”
Leonel quickly shook his head and said, “It’s fine I am mostly free today. I’ve served the Swann
Corporation for over ten years and understand their projects well. If you need anything, please do not
hesitate to ask me.
Being able to apany someone of Catherine’s stature was an opportunity that others. would envy,
so Leonel had no desire to leave
Noticing Catherine wanted him to leave, Leonel changed his mind and didn’t see himself as her
assistant anymore.
At this moment, he sat quietly next to Catherine, as if being able to be next to her was the most
significant achievement in his life.
Catherine noticed Leonel’s change of mind and decided to let him stay She adjusted herself
comfortably, leaned back in the chair, and then took out a document to review.
Leonel had been discreetly observing Catherine. He held a cup of coffee, intending to sip to wake
himself up However, he hadn’t put it down since he picked up the cup. His mouth was agape as he
witnessed the scene before him to the point where he could swallow an egg
He had encountered many intelligent people, even geniuses who could grasp information quickly, but
Catherine’s ability to flip through pages and understandplex documents within seconds was
beyond anything he had witnessed before.
Catherine finished reading a document that would have taken an ordinary person a day or a mone
intelligent individual half a day, all in less than three minutes. She then casually picked up atavettier für

Catherine with a mix of fear and astonishment.
Catherine, maintaining a calm expression and a slight frown, gazed back at him and inquired, Can I
leave now? Or is there anything else I need to attend to?
Her voice was soft and monotone, yet it exuded an undeniable sense of authority that resonated with
those who heard it.
In an instant, Leonel’s mind snapped back to the present moment.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
He gingerly touched his stiff jaw, his surprised expression still lingering on his face. His voice trembled
slightly as he responded, “Miss Swann, have youpleted everything?
