Chapter 60
Even Leonel, who stood by Catherine’s side, was shocked, just like the secretary.
As an outstanding graduate of a world-renowned political science andw school, he had confidence in
his fluency in Theisian, the universalnguage. 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 nk 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 challengingnguages in the world.
If Catherine had requested a tranted 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 thest page of the contract.
Linda’s face turned gloomy upon seeing Catherineplete 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 trantion of the Creybian contract. She
looked at Catherine with a cold expression, her attitude bordering on impoliteness.
“Miss Swann, here is the tranted version. Would you like to take a look?”
Catherine epted 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 tranted this?”
Seeing her cold expression, Linda suddenly felt uneasy and stressed. She had nned to give
Catherine a lesson, but now she could only confess everything.
“Miss Swann, the trantor, 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 nce, 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 trantor, 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
eightnguages and could understand to some extent.
After reading what Catherine pointed out and carefully reviewing the content, she discovered a
trantion error. She was suddenly struck with shock, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning.
Embarrassment washed over her. Her n had been to teach Catherine a lesson, but now she found
herself unable to provide an urate trantion 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 forcking 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 ept 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 rxed tone.
The junior secretary beside Linda turned pale with fear, ncing 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. Crue De Vil had vanished, and Miss
Swann emerged as the true queen.
Linda was known for her strong principles and refusal topromise, 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 respondedzily, her attitude nonchnt. 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 nced at the financial allocation and could see everything. After all, the Swann Corporation
was arge enterprise, and Vicente had only hired talents. The ounts were meticulously done.
Though she could grasp everything at a nce, her eyes narrowed, and a sudden change came over
her face as she noticed a particr 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 ount, and one
million was transferred from herest week,” Linda exined 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 rtive serving as the finance
manager, he found various excuses to borrow money from thepany.
After Linda rified 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 amand.
Linda had just mentioned that the finance manager was Johnathan’s uncle, which meant he was
Catherine’s uncle as well.
Was Catherine truly nning 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 in 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 amanding presence. It’s hard to believe she’s still a student.”
Linda nced at the secretary, silently conveying that she waspletely 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.
