Chapter 406 Jokes
Faced with Catherine’s resolute refusal, Sean couldn’t help feeling a bit frustrated. A project worth 100
million dors, with a ten percentmission, meant a cool ten million dors in his pocket.
He couldn’t help but feel like he had let a golden opportunity slip through his fingers. Ten million dors
was a big number, but Sean was no ordinary businessman. He ran the ck market, and in this
business, if you weren’t a bit ruthless, you wouldn’tst long.
It was all about mutual consent, and he believed it wouldn’t hurt anyone. After giving it some thought,
he decided to consult Ronin.
Ronin was often by Catherine’s side and knew her better than anyone else in their circle. He might hold
some valuable information or provide insights into her decision. Sean gave Ronin a call, briefly
exining the situation.
On the other end of the line, Ronin’s response was curt. “Thirty-seventy.”
Sean felt a pang of regret. He had forgotten that Ronin wasn’t just a follower of Catherine but also her
trusted financial advisor.
Ronin had a reputation for being shrewd when it came to money, and his de was sharper than
Sean’s in the realm of finance.
Sean was desperate. He would need to pay a high price to extract information from him. After some
contemtion, Sean clenched his teeth and replied, “You get three, I get seven.”
Ronin hadn’t originally nned to aim for a big profit. After all, the business belonged to Sean, and he
was just providing some assistance. Taking too much would be hical.
“Sean, don’t tell me you’ve be blinded by the allure of money. How can you not see the bigger
picture?
“Catherine refuses to ept it. What’s the use of trying to convince her? You should be trying to
persuade the other side. If she didn’t ept 100 million dors, wouldn’t she ept a billion dors?”
Sean was taken aback. Ronin had just raised the stakes tenfold. Under any other circumstances, it
would be a no-brainer. But with Catherine, nothing was certain. Sean inquired cautiously, “Are you sure
she’d agree to the higher price?”
“If she doesn’t, we have me, remember? Besides, Catherine is just flesh and blood, not a deity. Money
is something she naturally likes. No problem.”
With a renewed sense of purpose, Sean decided to seek out potential buyers for the project. He
dered, “Alright, I’ll find the buyers. You handle the rest.”
“Sure thing,” Ronin agreed.
He then ended the call with a smug face.

After disconnecting the call with Sean, Ronin sent a message to Catherine.
“Catherine, Sean contacted me!”
Making money was one thing, but betraying Catherine? He wouldn’t even consider it, no matter what.
On Catherine’s end, just after finishing her meal and preparing to rest, she received a text message
from Ronin.
Catherine pocketed her phone with a faint smile upon reading the message. She then looked up and
noticed the man sitting across from her, who had been watching her intently.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” she inquired. The man raised an eyebrow, and his starry eyes
sparkled with a radiant light. “I’m just wondering what kind of message could make you smile like that.
Sometimes, just a random smile on her face could make his heart beat faster.
“Haha.” Catherine Swann chuckled lightly and said, “It’s nothing. Ronin sent me a joke.”
With that, Catherine reclined on her dedicated beanbag. The beanbag here was genuinelyfortable!
As she watched the man tidying up the desk, the smile on Catherine’s lips lingered for quite some time.
Little did she know that after she uttered those words…
The man had assigned Paxton a task, leading him to flip through various joke books throughout the
night.
Yesterday, after Catherine had dealt with Rachael, she was cornered by Liana the very next day. Liana
wore a look of righteous indignation as she raised her voice, seemingly ready to break into song.
“Catherine, what have you done to Dad? Why did you upset him so much that he ended up in the
hospital?”
Catherine watched her coldly as she squinted her eyes, arms folded.
“Liana, sometimes you have to know your limits when you’re acting. Haven’t the previous lessons
taught you anything?”
Liana’s face turned pale. While Catherine’s words seemed harmless, they felt like a p across her
face, leaving her embarrassed.
“Catherine, what do you mean?” Liana clenched her teeth, ring at her. Catherine pushed Liana’s
shoulder with one hand.
“We both came from the same womb. Even if there’s a difference, I don’t believe it’s that big. Use your
brain to think, is this something you should be meddling in?”
If Liana could not handle it, she shouldn’t have interfered. How foolish could someone be to meddle in
something that was bound to have no result?
Catherine had said what she needed to. Whether Liana could understand it was up to her.
If she brought it upon herself, Catherine wouldn’t be lenient. Liana watched Catherine’s retreating
figure, and her teeth clenched so hard that she bit her lip.
Catherine was detestable. A person like her deserved to go to hell. Now that Catherine had thrown the
Swanns into turmoil, Liana was determined not to let her get away with it.Books Chapters Are Daily

She had been too impulsive in the past, underestimating Catherine’s strength.
It was surprising to see that Catherine, who had grown up in the countryside, had this kind of influence.
It seemed that her grandfather hadn’tpletely abandoned her. He must have secretly arranged for
someone to nurture her in the countryside. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be the person she was today.
She would n more carefully and not give Catherine another chance. The next day, Rachael got up
early, a rare sight considering she usually slept in until noon. She rushed to her parents ‘house.
Her parents were somewhat surprised to see her.
“Rachael, why are you back all of a sudden?”
Rachael, who was used to acting sophisticated in front of others and unting her status as a rich
man’s wife, didn’t hold back in front of her parents.
She angrily threw her handbag aside andined to her mother, “Mom, I can’t go on like this
anymore. Why did I give birth to a jinx?”
Seeing her daughter’s sudden outburst, Rachael’s parents were puzzled. Theyforted her while
urging her to exin what happened.
Rachael exined the recent events at the Swanns. Her parents were equally shocked, never
expecting such a turn of events in the Swanns. In their eyes, Korbin was quite a capable individual.
“Korbin was really hospitalized because of her actions?” Enzo still found it hard to believe.
Rachael’s eyes widened in anger. Every time she thought about Catherine, she couldn’t control her
facial expressions, and her entire face twisted with frustration.
“If it weren’t for such a significant incident, could I havee back to discuss things with you? Right
now, I don’t even have anyone to confide in. Korbin said she not only angered him but also gained
control over the Swanns. She even ims that the Swanns’ is her property, and she intends to kick me
out of my own home.
This news was indeed shocking for Enzo and Donna, as nobody could have foreseen such a dramatic
turn of events in the Swanns. They had assumed that with the passing of Vicente, Rachael’s husband
would take over the family smoothly.
They had been relieved that her husband’s family had no significant property disputes, which meant
fewer headaches for them. But now, instead of sibling rivalries, father-daughter conflicts were taking
center stage!
Rachael’s words deeply concerned her mother, and she urgently turned to her husband. “Dear, you
must help our daughter find a solution!” she said.
