Chapter 56 Trillion Dollar Fortune

The crowd was left dumbfounded, unsure of what was happening.

How dare Liana publicly accuse the homeroom teacher? It took a lot of nerve to do so.

The homeroom teacher’s expression immediately turned serious. “Liana, what are you doing? That’s

disrespectful. Do you think it’s acceptable to speak to a teacher like that?”

The math teacher saw an opportunity in Liana’s accusation and quickly spoke up, saying, Liana, if you

know something, don’t be afraid to share it. Don’t worry. I will protect you!” Liana nodded, determined to

expose Catherine’s true nature at any cost.

“I live with Catherine, and my parents have never called the teacher,” she revealed.

!!

There had been rumors in school that Catherine was a daughter brought back from the countryside by

the Swanns. Still, there had been no public evidence. Moreover, Catherine had never mentioned it, so it

had always been the word on the street.

Liana’s statement seemed to confirm these rumors, implying that Catherine was indeed her sister.

As Liana finished speaking, all eyes turned to Catherine, curious to see her reaction.

Despite being the center of attention, Catherine remained as composed as ever. Her beautiful yet cold

face showed no signs of being affected by Liana’s words.

Liana despised Catherine’s calm demeanor. She wanted to see fear in Catherine’s eyes, to make her

understand the power she possessed.

But Catherine showed no such emotions. Instead, she gazed at Liana with cold eyes.

That unchanged gaze somehow made Liana anxious, causing her heart to race.

Liana stared back at Catherine, trying to project fearlessness to mask her inner tension. “Well, tell us,

did you find someone to impersonate a family member for your absence, or is the homeroom teacher

lying?” Liana questioned Catherine.

Catherine let out a cold chuckle as she looked at Liana. Her calm gaze made Liana’s loud accusations

look like a monkey’s performance in a zoo, entertaining the crowd.

“Liana, since you’re so curious, why don’t you ask the homeroom teacher who called her this morning?”

Before Liana could ask, the homeroom teacher explained, “It was Catherine’s guardian, the renowned

lawyer Mr. Bolton.”

The custody of Catherine had always been in the hands of Vicente, and later it was transferred to

Leonel.

Although Catherine was of legal age, the custody hadn’t been terminated since she was still studying. It

made it easier for her to attend school with a guardian listed on her paperwork. Liana’s frustrated

expression caught Catherine’s attention, bringing a sense of thrill to her. Someone like Liana had never

bothered her since they were not on the same level.

Unfortunately, Catherine had just woken up and was feeling grumpy.

In a bad mood, she was naturally inclined to make those who offended her bear the consequences.

Catherine stepped onto the stage and took out a vintage cell phone from her pocket.

The sight of Catherine’s outdated phone astonished the onlookers.

Was she from the last century? How could she still be using such an old phone? Did she not even use

WhatsApp?

As everyone stared at Catherine with surprised looks, she turned on the projector connected to the

phone and directed her gaze toward Liana with a hint of amusement.

“If you’re so curious about what I did this morning, I wouldn’t mind sharing it with you.”

Catherine tapped the screen of her phone, and a magical scene unfolded.

The vintage phone unexpectedly connected to the computer on the stage, displaying financial news on

the board.

“The new chairperson of the Swann Corporation has been elected. The person is Catherine Swann, the

second granddaughter of the former chairman of the Swann Corporation Group, Vicente Swann. This

news is tracked and reported by Global Financial Times reporter.”

Global Financial Times, the world’s most famous financial channel, had never made a mistake in their

news. They were renowned in the industry.

As the news segment ended, everyone in the class was left in shock.

Liana’s eyes widened in astonishment. “Has Catherine become the chairperson?” she asked inwardly.

“How’s this even possible?

Why had her father agreed to such a situation? What was going on?

Liana was taken aback, and even Bryan couldn’t believe what he had just heard. He gave a thumbs up

to Catherine, admiration in his eyes.

“Catherine, you disappeared all morning dealing with your trillion-dollar inheritance. That’s so amazing!

You’re my idol from now on, and I’ll call you boss.”

Everyone present was stunned. They couldn’t believe that their mediocre classmate had suddenly

inherited a trillion-dollar fortune.

The most skeptical person was the math teacher. She had believed Catherine was a student accepted

by Sincere High School due to her background, a jinx for her family, and just a nobody. After all, the

math teacher also came from a wealthy and distinguished family. However, she hadn’t expected

Catherine to have such a background. This girl was the chairperson of the Swann Corporation, and

even her father-in-law couldn’t do anything to stop her.

The math teacher knew that she had gotten herself into trouble. Fear crept into her heart, and

Catherine had no intention of letting her off the hook.

Catherine didn’t like causing trouble, but once she took action, she showed no mercy.

Catherine picked up the chalk holder from the table and threw it, landing it steadily in front of the math

teacher.

With a cold expression and narrowed eyes, she emitted a chilling aura. “Ma’am, it’s time for you to fulfill

your promise.”

The math teacher felt afraid and awkwardly smiled. “Catherine, it was just a joke. Let’s forget about it,

shall we? It was a misunderstanding, right?” She had set aside her pride and would give her all if

Catherine didn’t provide an escape route.

While this tactic might be effective for others, Catherine showed no concern for this strategy.

“I don’t play games,” she declared, her emotionless tone emanating an awe-inspiring presence. It was

characteristic of Catherine not to leave any opportunity for her adversaries.

Catherine directed a fierce gaze at the math teacher, a look that combined rebellion, arrogance, and a

hint of wickedness.

“You can rest assured that I’ll keep my promise. If I don’t rank first in the class next week, I’ll withdraw

from school.”

By uttering these words, she left no room for negotiation or any chance for the math teacher.

Catherine knew exactly what she wanted, and she would pursue it relentlessly.

Witnessing the math teacher’s embarrassed expression, the surrounding students became

apprehensive of Catherine.

As the situation reached a deadlock, the homeroom teacher intervened as a mediator.

“Catherine, I’m making this request on my behalf. Can you reconcile with the math teacher? She didn’t

mean any harm. How about if I ask her to apologize, and then we can move forward? What do you

think?”

Catherine glanced at the homeroom teacher, who had been kind to her since the beginning of the

school year.

Whenever she faced any issues, the homeroom teacher would step in to assist. Considering this,

Catherine could agree to the request.

“Alright, I’ll do as you say. Just remember, I’m doing this for you.”

Upon hearing Catherine’s response, the homeroom teacher promptly fetched the math teacher.

“Come on!”

Reluctantly, the math teacher cast a glance at Catherine and uttered, “What happened today was my

mistake. I misunderstood you, and I apologize.”

Although she didn’t want to apologize to Catherine, she had, at the very least, done so.

Since the homeroom teacher had requested forgiveness, Catherine didn’t want to create a

scene.

With the situation seemingly resolved, people present dispersed. However, Catherine’s next move

startled everyone.

“Stay put!” she suddenly commanded in a chilling voice, her words sharp and authoritative.
