Chapter 582 The Real Mastermindnovelbin
Edward’s sudden reaction surprised everyone.
The onlookers who were admiring Liana for gaining Edward’s favor were now following his gaze forward.
Step by step, Edward walked up and stood in front of Catherine.
His initially stern expression softened as he saw Catherine.
It was only then that everyone noticed another stunning beauty standing there. She was even more beautiful than Liana.
Liana remained in place and felt extremely awkward. Despite her efforts to get close to Edward, she found herself outshone byCatherine.
She wondered what Catherine had that attracted everyone’s attention.
When Edward saw Catherine, he couldn’t contain his excitement. His voice raised a few notches higher involuntarily.“Catherine, it’s great to see you again. How did you end up here?”
Catherine smiled faintly and replied softly, “Just accompanying my boyfriend. | heard you were here, so | came over.”After hearing that Catherine had a boyfriend, Edward was surprised. He then turned to look at Drake behind her.“Catherine, is this handsome man behind you your boyfriend?”
This question made Drake tensed up.
Although he and Catherine weren’t in that kind of relationship, he was willing to cooperate if Catherine needed him to.
Just as Drake was about to nod, Catherine responded, “No. My boyfriend had some last-minute business and was taken awayby a business partner.”
Edward apologetically glanced at Drake, and he was secretly relieved.
He couldn't believe Catherine would be with someone who seemed so immature. He was not a good match to the powerful aurashe exuded.
Jaxton Clayton, seeing that Edward’s attention was on Drake, walked up. Mr. Anderson, this is my son, Drake.”“So, he is Mr. Clayton’s son. No wonder he is so handsome.”
“Haha. My son inherited his mother’s looks.” Jaxton then turned his gaze to Catherine and asked, “By the way, Mr. Anderson,who is this?”
“Mr. Clayton, let me introduce you!” Edward walked to Catherine’s side and said, “This is our foundation’s trading advisor,Catherine Swann. Our foundation will seek her opinion for all of our major projects. She’s truly a remarkable talent.”
This revelation shocked everyone.
Everyone looked at Catherine in astonishment.
If Edward hadn't said it himself, no one would believe it.
They never expected a college girl to be the trading advisor behind a global capital operation.
Edward was the public face of the Skybow Group, and Catherine was the real mastermind behind the scenes at the SkybowGroup. She was the one holding the true reins of power.
Just a moment ago, Liana was disdainful of Catherine and deemed that she had used means to attract Edward's attention. Now,she was stunned.
“How is that possible?”
Liana couldn’t help but exclaim loudly, “It’s impossible!”
Her voice was so loud that she attracted everyone’s attention.
Edward looked at Liana in confusion. She seemed somewhat similar to Catherine but lacked Catherine’s powerful aura.“What do you mean?” Edward asked.
Liana rushed forward. “You must have been deceived by her. She’s just a country girl who grew up in the countryside. How couldshe be the trading advisor of the Skybow Group? Mr. Anderson, you absolutely cannot be fooled by her!” She explainedhurriedly.
The crowd looked at them in curiosity and broke out into chaos.
Jaxton quickly stepped forward. “Miss, you can’t just talk nonsense.”
Liana would say anything to make everyone believe her and tarnish Catherine's reputation.“I'm not lying because she’s my sister!”
There was a commotion in the crowd. No one expected things to escalate like this.
Zain and Drake looked at Liana in astonishment. They thought Liana and Catherine looked alike, but they never imagined they tobe sisters.
Catherine sometimes thought Liana was foolish beyond the point of redemption.
Edward glanced at Catherine. Seeing her calm demeanor, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was worried that if Catherine got upset, everyone at the event would suffer.
“Catherine, is she your sister?”
Hearing Edward's question, Liana looked at Catherine with disdain. She wanted to see if Catherine would dare to lie in public.
Facing the question, Catherine coldly glanced at Liana and said with disdain, “Maybe blood-related, but there’s no connection interms of intelligence.”
“Haha...” Drake couldn't help but laugh. He said, “Catherine, | think you have a point. There seems to be a significant |Qdifference.”
Not only Drake, but even Edward nodded in agreement.
“I'm just about to say that. Catherine, how can you, being so smart, have such a foolish sister? If | don’t even know who mycompany’s trading advisor is, | probably won't have the qualification to stand here today.”
People realized that Edward spoke the truth. To mistake a stranger for a friend was common, but not recognizing one’s boss wasridiculous.
Liana stood still and looked stunned. She wasn’t stupid. She just refused to believe that Catherine could have the ability.
She was like a clown now, subject to public humiliation. She thought Catherine was indeed formidable. No wonder even herfather couldn't defeat Catherine.
Liana stared at Catherine in confusion.
“Tell me. Why? You were sent to the
countryside since childhood. Why are you so capable?”
Seeing her look of desperation, Catherine decided to reveal a little.
“Who told you that being sent to thecountryside would make meworthless? Remen CthatnO hatterwhat; | nha Sughter of theSwanns family, the granddaughter ofGrandpa. | have a better educationthan you since childhood.” Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!

Even if Catherine was sent to the countryside from a young age, she must have received private tutoring.
If Catherine had shown exceptional intelligence, she would have gained even more.
After looking around, Branden decided to approach the crowd. Then he spotted Catherine.
“Kathy!”
A familiar voice caught Catherine’s attention, and she turned to see Branden walking toward her.
She took the initiative to grab Branden’s hand and introduced him to Edward who was standing nearby.
“This is my boyfriend, Branden.”
With that simple statement, many were stunned.
Anumber of them had hopes of approaching her initially.
Even Jaxton couldn’t help but sigh. He thought Catherine was so outstanding that she was clearly out of his son’s league.
Drake stared at Branden. Without even having to compete, Drake knew he could not win.
