Chapter 967 The Truth
After checking the contract, they found that Catherine was the declarer and the experiment’s leader and that Marshall was only assisting. Who would have thought Catherine could experiment all by herself? So, Styre University had nothing to do with this experiment. On the contrary, Styre University benefited from Catherine’s status as a titular student.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Ultan turned around and looked at Marshall in disbelief. “Is this true?”
Marshall spread his arms and shrugged. “It’s all written in the contract.”
Ultan’s mind was blown away. The reverse was entirely out of his expectations.
Marshall only cared about experiments. He didn’t mind giving up authorship if the experiment was meaningful. That’s why he didn’t stop Catherine from being the declarer. He almost forgot about it. It appeared that Catherine had everything planned and organized.
These old fellas stood no chance against a person so thoughtful as Catherine. However, it was funny to see them being fooled around.
Marshall let out a sigh of relief. Now that he was free from worries, he sat down and watched silently.
Ultan was mad at him. He glared at Marshall. “And you knew about it? You gave away the university’s project!”
Marshall couldn’t agree with him on this. He argued, “It’s not something you can give away. As we all know, Catherine experimented all by herself. The experiment would be just as well without me.”
Right. Catherine, his best student, was that brilliant.
And he got Ultan speechless. Ultan, of course, knew how talented Catherine was. But still, her excellence shocked him. And he could understand why Marshall was always so protective of Catherine.
Their argument made Catherine drowsy. She narrowed her eyes and looked ahead. Her gaze fell on Ultan. ” Mr. Farell, are you going to call the NSB or not? Cause if you are, I need to prepare for the trial.”
Ultan’s face was as dark as the sky before a storm. Why bother calling the NSB? Everything was settled. He got angrier at Catherine, not sure what her intention was.
After a while, Ultan was still silent. Catherine decided to leave on her own. So, she stood up and greeted Marshall.
Seeing Catherine strutting out was like a slap in the face for the leaders. They turned to Ultan. “That’s it? Are you going to let her walk off like that?”
Ultan glared at them. “It was her experiment. How she traded it is none of our business. I did my best. You can try to stop her, though.”
The room quieted down. Catherine walked out with their curious gazes.
When she left the building, she met Ronin, who rushed here after hearing the lab blocked Catherine.
“Catherine, are you okay?” Ronin ran out of breath and even gasped for breath when speaking.
Catherine looked at him peacefully.” Why wouldn’t I be?”
Although Catherine was safe and sound, Ronin was still full of anger. That’s great. Now, you wait here. I’m going inside to ask those old guys why they blocked you. You are literally the best thing that could ever happen at this university.” 11
Ronin was going in furiously before Catherine dragged him back.
“Calm down, Ronin,” she said.
“I can’t!” Ronin was so anxious. The thought of Catherine being treated rudely almost blew his head off.
Catherine looked at him expressionlessly. “Maybe a bath in the cold river could help.”
“You don’t really mean it, do you?” Ronin glanced at her awkwardly. Catherine was a woman of her word. If she nodded, he would have to jump in the river.
Catherine gave him a cold glance. ” Follow me if you don’t want to end up in the river. I’m so gonna kick you into the river if you do this again!”
Ronin hurriedly answered, “Never! I promise!”
Ronin was young and reckless. He would do anything for Catherine at any cost, which could be a hidden trouble.
Ronin confronting the university would only worsen the situation and put her in a dilemma. She was not afraid of confrontation. But the last thing she wanted was to affect others.
After being scolded by Catherine, Ronin calmed down. He couldn’t control himself sometimes. He wanted to blow up Styre University when he knew Catherine was bullied.
“What do we do next, Catherine?” asked Ronin.
Catherine patted his shoulder. “Next, we will eat. And then, go home and rest.
“We… Wait a second. That’s your plan?
“Ronin was disappointed. He was ready to fight or something. But he followed Catherine to eat anyway.
“What did you say?” Selene held her phone and shouted. Thankfully, she lived in a single VIP ward, and the scream didn’t escape the room.
After a moment, she asked again, “Are you sure about this?”
“I was there in the conference room, Miss Miller. One hundred percent positive.”
Selene angrily hung up after hearing the reply. It was beyond her expectation that her perfect plan failed.
She couldn’t believe a young girl fooled around Styre University.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. So, she smashed everything in the ward. The nurse standing outside wanted to stop her but was held back by another nurse. “She’s with Mr. Duncan. We better stay out of this.”
Selene smiled proudly when she heard what they said. She would not let Catherine get away so easily next time.
