Yo, you think there was some shody business with that baby swap back in the day?
Catherine, cool as a cucumber, replied. "The Windsor family ain't your run-of-the-mill rich folks. No way a baby swap goes unnoticed for over a decade, especially with multiple kids involved."
"Got it, I'll dig into it right now."
Five minutes later, Catherine's info network pinged with the latest scoop.
Turns out, the baby swap with her, Clara, and Juniper went down because the hospital where their moms gave birth had a major medical screw-up at the time.
The maternity ward got moved to the nearby orphanage, which was packed and had zero security, leading to the baby mix-up.
Catherine, unfazed, said, "Give me the orphanage's location, Ill check it out myself later.
"Miss, the orphanage and the hospital are in the same spot, but the hospital's been shut down and abandoned for years. The orphanage is still there, still standing in Imperia City. It might not be an average place; you need to watch your back."
Catherine had a gut feeling something was definitely off with that orphanage!
She checked the address, then pocketed her phone.
Brandon's voice came from the doorway, "Catherine, come down for dinner. I wasn' 1 sure what flavors you like, so try it out and see if it suits your taste."
Brandon looked at Catherine with eyes full of affection, worried she might not like the food.
Following him, Catherine asked, "With our family's connections, why didn't you dig into my background after you found me?"
Brandon chuckled. "It was Juniper's idea. She said investigating beforehand would make us biased. If you had a rough past, it would be hard for us to make it up to you. So she suggested we get to know you slowly after you came home."
Catherine nodded.
The big dining room was lit up with windows, and a fancy crystal chandelier cast light onto the marble wall, spelling our: "Welcome Home, Catherine."
Four guys stood by the dining table, looking at Catherine with a mix of excitement and nerves.
They saw a girl on the stairs who looked a lot like Aurons, rocking a light purple
dress with a violet crystal bracelet on her wrist.
She had this elegant, almost otherworldly vibe, like an angel in a painting, but with a touch of icy alofness.
This was their biological sister!
Brandon introduced, "Catherine, these are your brothers. Come on, guys. Say hello."
The first guy was all suave and polished, wearing a custom Istalia suit with some pricey ruby cufflinks that were a big deal at last year's auction.
Catherine remembered those cufflinks were bought by Charles Windsor, the boss of Evergreen Industries
Charles wasn't just the youngest top billionaire but also a famous oil tycoon on the dark web!
Charles handed a black card to Catherine.
He was super gentle, his smile perfectly practiced to be both charming and elegant.
"Catherine, I'm your eldest brother, Charles Windsor. This is my gift to you. Buy
whatever you want no limit.
Catherine took it, nodding obediently, "Thanks. Charles Charles's smile was brighter than when he scored ten gold mines.
The second guy stepped forward, fair-skinned with chiseled features and hands so finely boned they looked like art.
"Catherine, I'm your second brother, George Windsor. This is my gift to you."
He handed Catherine a box, every corner polished to perfection.
George still had some wood shavings on his hands, showing he made it himself.
Inside the box was a hairband and a card.
George smiled, "The card gives you access to the best medical facilities worldwide, no matter what. You'll get top-notch care whenever you need it. Of course, I hope you never have to use it. I'm not as loaded as Charles, but I made this hairband myself. Hope you like it."
When Catherine was publishing medical SCI papers, she had come across the name George Windsor, the youngest medical genius in the world today. He was the only one capable of performing surgeries with a zero percent mortality rate, known as the "Hand of God." Many international organizations had offered him sky-high prices to recruit him, but none had succeeded.
