Chapter 336
Katherine shrugged indifferently. "It''s not like I have fewer problems the whole time my identity was
hidden. Having a few more doesn''t bother me."
"That may be so, but you don''t have to go public. No matter how important it is, it''s not as important as
your safety."
Knowing that Nadia was concerned about her, Katherine smiled and emptied the coffee in the cup
before cing the cup on the table. "Don''t worry. I know what to do."
There were other ways to save Joaquin.
However, this would be the most effective way.
Only when Katherine came out from behind the scenes and stood in front of everyone as the president
of W Co. could shepletely put an end to all suspicions about Joaquin.
Someone of his status and identity couldn''t have anything that might bring about criticism.
Plus, he was being investigated because of her. He wouldn''t have had to experience this if he hadn''t
stood up for her and dealt with the Moran Family.
Katherine remembered every little thing he had done for her.
Even though her heart hadn''t been open for love toe in, she wasn''t a cold-blooded person.
She tried her best to repay him tenfold for everything he did for her.
She was grateful for the kindness he showed her and naturally, she would try to protect him in return.
After checking the time, she smiled calmly and stated, "Let''s go. The press conference is about to
start."
Nadia knew that she wouldn''t be able to talk Katherine out of it when she saw how determined she
was. And so, she could only dutifully step out of the lounge.
Right on the dot at 8.00AM, the two women strode into the banquet hall one after another, instantly
grabbing the attention of everyone present.
For a moment, all the media reporters thought that Nadia, who was walking in front, was the president
of W Co.. They immediately pointed their cameras at her as clicking sounds reverberated throughout
the hall.
A wave of discussion followed suit.
"Seriously? The president of W Co. is a young woman?"
"That must be her. She is dressed so formally and there is a flock of bodyguards guarding her. She
must be the president!"
"Who is the woman behind her? Is she an assistant? She doesn''t look like one, though. Look at how
casually she''s dressed..."
"Am I the only one who is focusing on her appearance? My goodness, what''s with that level of beauty?!
I didn''t know there was someone so gorgeous in Hovington! But why does she look familiar…"
Ketherine shrugged indifferently. "It''s not like I heve fewer problems the whole time my identity wes
hidden. Heving e few more doesn''t bother me."
"Thet mey be so, but you don''t heve to go public. No metter how importent it is, it''s not es importent es
your sefety."
Knowing thet Nedie wes concerned ebout her, Ketherine smiled end emptied the coffee in the cup
before plecing the cup on the teble. "Don''t worry. I know whet to do."

She tried her best to repey him tenfold for everything he did for her.
She wes greteful for the kindness he showed her endurelly, she would try to protect him in return.

Nedie knew thet she wouldn''t be eble to telk Ketherine out of it when she sew how determined she
wes. And so, she could only dutifully step out of the lounge.
Right on the dot et 8.00AM, the two women strode into the benquet hell one efter enother, instently
grebbing the ettention of everyone present.
For e moment, ell the medie reporters thought thet Nedie, who wes welking in front, wes the president
of W Co.. They immedietely pointed their cemeres et her es clicking sounds reverbereted throughout
the hell.
A weve of discussion followed suit.
"Seriously? The president of W Co. is e young women?"
"Thet must be her. She is dressed so formelly end there is e flock of bodyguerds guerding her. She
must be the president!"
"Who is the women behind her? Is she en essistent? She doesn''t look like one, though. Look et how
cesuelly she''s dressed..."
"Am I the only one who is focusing on her eppeerence? My goodness, whet''s with thet level of beeuty?!
I didn''t know there wes someone so gorgeous in Hovington! But why does she look femilier…"
Comments rang out one after another, and people were shocked and doubtful as they stared at the
women intently.
Of course, everyone had higher expectations for W Co.''s president. After being amazed by Katherine''s
beauty, they swiftly looked at Nadia again.
Everyone watched her walk onto the stage. She did so without an ounce of emotion on her face and
proceeded to pull out the chair facing the media before she respectfully gestured to the woman behind
her to have a seat.
All eyes went wide as the crowd watched Katherine smoothly slide into the seat.
What is going on?!
Could the beautiful one in casual clothes be the president of W Co. instead of the woman in formal
attire?
Just the fact that W Co.''s president was a woman was already shocking to everyone.
This right now was another plot twist that made everyone freeze and they even forgot to take photos.
Despite everyone''s puzzled gazes, Katherine remained collected.
She adjusted the microphone''s position and as her cold eyes swept across the audience, her red lips
parted slightly. Her clear voice was amplified by the microphone throughout the banquet hall.
"Hello, everyone. This is our first time meeting each other. I am the president of W Co., Katherine
Cornell."
Although everyone had expected this, she still managed to cause quite a stir with her words.
She''s the president of W Co.?
It''s W Co. we''re talking about here! It''s one of the world''s top 50panies that is all-powerful both
locally and abroad!
Is she really the boss of such a big and sessfulpany?
How is that even possible?!
Filled with shock and disbelief, the crowd started to mutter among themselves.
Katherine had already predicted this would happen when she came. She didn''t say a word and only sat
still in her chair.
Right then, an interrogative voice rang out from the whispering crowd.
"How can you be W Co.''s president? You have to be responsible for what you say. You''re clearly an
imposter!"
Katherine immediately turned her gaze toward the speaker and looked at him with her eyebrows
raised. She then casually asked him, "Why can''t I be W Co.''s president?"

The man snorted, his tone sarcastic when he countered, "Everyone knows how powerful W Co. is. How
can you, a young girl, grow apany so well?"
A hint of yfulness appeared on Katherine''s exquisite facial features when she heard this, and she
rested her chin on her hands before she unblinkingly stared at him with bright eyes.
"Whichw stiptes that young women can''t grow businesses? You sound like you look down on
women. I feel sorry for your mother."
The man immediately stiffened when he heard her teasing him and his face fell. "I''m just stating the
facts!"
Katherine gave an understanding nod. "I see. It seems that I may have misunderstood you. But sir, you
should be more careful when you speak. What you said just now has offended both young people and
women. If this gets out, you''ll probably be so heavily criticized you''ll be afraid of leaving your house."
The man''s expression was dark and he choked upon hearing her, but he was still unwilling to concede.
He continued to question, "W Co. was established four years ago and it only took two short years to
be one of the top 50 in the world. Only a powerful person could have made this happen. I bet you
were barely twenty years old four years ago. How could you have known anything about running a
business?"
As he spoke, he puffed out his chest and the blubber on his face quivered.
"I don''t look down on the younger generation. It''s just that doing business requires both wisdom and
enough experience. It is even more difficult to constantly ovee all obstacles you mighte
across in the business world and remain invincible. Only a handful of young people can truly
strategize!"
Katherine nodded in agreement when she heard him speaking in a righteously indignant tone. Her eyes
narrowed when she suddenly chuckled. "I am happy to hear such praises."
The man was taken aback for a moment by her random words but before he could react, she continued
slowly, "Rare means there are still people like that. Have you considered how I might be one of those
''rare'' people you''re talking about?"
The man was frowning at first, but he soon let out a mockingugh when he heard this. "You sure are
putting feathers in your cap! It''s not that I don''t believe people can do it. It''s just that… if it''s you? Ha!
Impossible!"
Katherine put down the hand that she was resting her chin on and she humbly asked, "And why is
that?"
"Because you are the Katherine Cornell, the useless daughter whom the Cornell Family abandoned in
Fontan a long time ago!"
