All Her Secrets By Chestnut Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Take It

Korbin seethed with anger, but Catherine remained composed, unaffected by his emotional

display.

Her beautiful eyes glanced 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 manipulating 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 becoming 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 a company was not as easy as she seemed to think.

She thought running a company 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

1/4

“Hmph!” Korbin snorted coldly, stood up, and left the meeting room.

Why would he stay here? He didn’t want to be Catherine’s lackey.

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 black suit blocked her

path.

The woman had oversized sunglasses 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 placed a huge pile of files next to Catherine.

To familiarize herself with all these files in a day was mission impossible.

After placing the items down, Linda bowed to Catherine and exited.

Catherine glanced at the files on the table and then turned to Leonel, the lawyer standing beside her. She raised an eyebrow, displaying her carefree and dominant demeanor.

Leonel understood her silent inquiry and lowered his voice to explain. “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 glance 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 ‘Cruella 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 body language.

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 successful lawyer, with people begging him to help with lawsuits 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 classes, and Catherine had planned to rest

somewhere. Unfortunately, she would have no choice but read these documents

She turned her head, glanced at Lawyer Leonel, and said, “If you have other plans, 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 accompany 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 understand complex 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 frets the desk

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.

He gingerly touched his stiff jaw, his surprised expression still lingering on his face. His voice trembled slightly as he responded, “Miss Swann, have you completed everything?

His Nanny Mate Chapter 250 By Eve Above Story

The time between Michael going to prison and Daisy’s birth were such a whirlwind of activity that the months practically flew by. Ethan and Kelly wound up being transferred to a mental health facility. I think that was better for them in the long run, as the things that they did were ultimately the result of Michael’s brainwashing. I didn’t hold any grudges against them; in fact, Edrick and I visited them on a monthly basis, and the medication and therapy that they went through seemed to be helping a bit. Of course, Kelly could never get over her obsession with Edrick. Nor could Ethan get over his obsession with me. It was very likely that they would spend years in that place, but at least we could have somewhat normal conversations with them when we went to visit. Michael, however, had no visitors and I didn’t feel the least bit bad about it. Verona eventually finalized her divorce with him, and she got most of his money as well as the house. She became the matriarch of the Morgan family, and over the next six months we went to countless wonderful parties hosted by Verona where there was no drama or fighting. It felt good to finally have a chance to enjoy attending those sorts of parties without judgment or hatred. My status as the Golden Wolf was quickly discovered by the public. There were, of course, some fringe groups who wanted me dead, but they had no way of killing the Golden Wolf now that the knife was gone. Thanks to what happened at the cliff, the future generations of the Golden Wolf would be allowed to live and continue to create peace in the world. I continued teaching at the school, and split my time with the orphanage and the Humanity’s Reach Initiative as well. I was on track to become the next headmistress at the school someday, but I still didn’t know if that was what I wanted. Countless humanitarian organizations were still begging me to work for them, and the prospect of trying something new was exciting to me. Since I continued teaching, I only volunteered for these organizations instead. On more than one occasion, Edrick accused me of doing too much and not getting enough rest. I just laughed at him because I knew that the baby and I could handle it. We had been through so much before, and the volunteering that I was doing was making the world a better place. Edrick continued being the WereCorp CEO, but he was much different after the events at the mountain estate. He became more fair toward his human employees, and even went so far as to purchase Sophia’s orphanage. He donated money to other local orphanages, and the two of us quickly became known as the biggest philanthropists in the city. On Christmas, we even threw a massive charity gala that beat a record for the most amount of money raised toward humanitarian organizations. It was of course run by the Humanity’s Reach Initiative, which had grown immensely since we joined and put in our efforts. The two of us were happy together. We didn’t have to hide our relationship from anyone — not even ourselves. In the penthouse, we were a little family. We didn’t get engaged, though, but that was okay with me. I was just excited to meet our daughter. I was lying on the couch after a long day of teaching and going to public events when I felt it. Selina had just given me a good scolding for overexerting myself so close to my due date, and now I was reading a book with a sandwich and a cup of tea sitting on the coffee table. Suddenly, I felt something strange. “Um… Selina?!” I called out. I dropped my book and stood, my eyes widening at the large wet spot left behind on the couch. Selina came running, and her eyes widened as well. “Did your…” Her voice faded and she clamped her hand over her mouth. I nodded slowly, both excited and terrified out of my mind. “My water broke. Daisy is on the way.” Edrick and I decided to name the baby Daisy. Daisy Anne Morgan… Someday, I would tell her how her big sister picked that name out, and it was the prettiest and most special name I had ever heard. The contractions began soon after my water broke. Selina was on the phone with Edrick and was telling him to get home when I felt the first one. I let out a loud groan and practically doubled over from the pain as I gripped the back of the couch with white knuckles. “Mom?” Ella asked, tugging on my skirt. “Are you alright?” I nodded and swallowed, feeling myself already beginning to sweat from the pain. “Yes, love. It’s called a contraction.” Ella c****d her head to the side. “What does that mean?” I gritted my teeth through the pain and managed a smile. “It means that your little sister is trying to get out,” I said, pinching Ella’s cheek. I was overtaken then by another wave of pain, and Selina came scurrying out of the kitchen with a worried look on her face. “Edrick is on his way. I’ll take you to the hospital now if you want—” “No.” I shook my head firmly. “I want to wait for Edrick.” Selina opened her mouth to protest at first, but then quickly shut it again. I could tell that she knew that there was no changing my mind now, and so she and Ella both stayed with me while I paced back and forth around the living room, clutching my belly as waves of contractions came over me. Finally, Edrick burst out of the elevator with a wild look on his face. His tie was loosened, his shirt was half untucked, and his hair was a mess. He looked like he practically flew here. I couldn’t help but laugh. “You look ridiculous,” I teased. “Mom peed on the couch!” Ella shouted. Selina hushed Ella. “Don’t be rude!” she scolded. “It’s not urine! It’s called amniotic fluid.” Ella furrowed her brow, still clutching my skirt. “Well, it looks like pee.” Edrick and I both burst out laughing. Ella never ceased to lighten the mood, even when she didn’t mean to. Within minutes, Edrick and I were on the way to the hospital. Ella threw a royal fit when she found out that she couldn’t come until later, but I knew that it would likely be hours spent in the hospital and that it would be worse if she came now. As Edrick drove, he clutched my hand and kept looking over at me nervously, as though I would explode or even just disappear into thin air. “I love you,” Edrick said as he took a turn. Through the pain of the contractions, I could hardly speak. I could only smile back at him, and I squeezed his hand three times. Over the past six months, we had developed a secret code to say I love you without having to speak… And at that moment, I needed to use that secret code more than ever. Edrick grinned and squeezed back. Soon enough, the hospital came into view. Despite the pain, I couldn’t stop smiling. I was so excited to finally meet our daughter.
