Chapter 312 Classmates
The bell for the end of class finally rang. Liana never thought standing for a whole class could be so
exhausting. Both of her legs were numb.
As soon as the homeroom teacher left, she stiffly walked toward her desk. She was eagerly waiting for
class to be over, and so was Ronin.
“Catherine said that we should respect our teachers.
“Although these teachers might not be able to teach us much, they were still teachers, so they deserve
respect.
“During class hours, it is unacceptable to cause disturbances that disrupt the teacher’s teaching or
distract the classmates.
“I’m the most obedient to Catherine, so naturally, I can’t go against her wishes, “thought Ronin.
Catherine saw the subtle hints that Ronin was giving her. Ronin constantly made funny faces and
winked as if he were worried that Catherine wouldn’t notice.
Catherine knew that Ronin was eager to engage in a fight. As long as Ronin didn’t hurt himself,
Catherine was not interested in bothering with him.
“Liana was annoying, but that was totally on her,” thought she. She couldn’t be bothered with it and left
Ronin to handle it himself.
After receiving a response from Catherine, Ronin was all fired up and ready to take action. Liana
walked toward her seat. Just as she was about to sit down, someone secretly snatched her chair away.
Without any precautions, Liana almost fell flat on her face. She angrily stood up and looked at Ronin on
the side, cursing with a red face full of anger, “Ronin Oconnor, is there any point in doing this?”
Ronin just shrugged, spread his hand, and looked at Liana with a confident and righteous expression.
“Liana, please be reasonable. What did I do to receive such words from you?”
Seeing Ronin’s attitude, Liana got furious. All her anger exploded in that moment. “Ronin, as a man,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou pulled my chair to make me fall. You dared to do it but can’t even admit it?”
“Haha!” Ronin sneered. “Just because you claim that I did it, I must admit? When stating accusations,
one must provide evidence. Do you have any?”
“Evidence? That’s easy..
“It’s break time. There’s no way that not a single person in the whole class noticed it,” said Liana
inwardly.
She looked around to find some witnesses for herself. She noticed that other classmates either had
their heads down or were mocking her, showing no intention of helping her at all.
Liana was about to glance at her deskmate, but when she turned around, she saw her deskmate
pretending to sleep on the desk with such poor acting.
Just now, Liana dragged everyone down to deal with Catherine. She knew exactly what was going on,
but she intentionally got everyone to join in opposing Catherine.
Fortunately, the homeroom teacher stepped in. If Catherine had insisted on an explanation, Liana
would have implicated everyone. Everyone was so pissed off at Liana right now, so why would anyone
want to help her?
Liana was so angry that she gritted her teeth while Ronin laughed heartily.
This contrast was so ironic.
Ronin snorted and glared coldly at Liana.
“What? No evidence, right? Let me tell you, you can eat whatever you want, but be careful what you
say, or I’ll sue you!”
Liana glared angrily at Ronin, who was jumping up and down in front of her. She knew this must be
Catherine’s idea. “Ronin always listened to Catherine.
Without her permission, how could Ronin trouble me like this?” said she inwardly. She directed all her
grievances at Catherine and was so angry to the point of losing her rationality that she confronted
Catherine directly.
“Catherine, you’re so shady. You pretend to be nice on the surface but order Ronin to mess with me.
Why are you so evil?”
Ronin didn’t expect Liana to be so shameless. “It was clearly me who had a conflict with her, yet she
blamed it on Catherine,” thought he.
This really pissed off Ronin. He didn’t care what Liana thought and confronted her directly.
“Hey, just come for me. Why get Catherine involved? Can’t you see her resting? If you bother her, don’t
blame me for being rude!”
“Humph, some pretentious bitch is absolutely disgusting!” The tone of Liana was indescribably
sarcastic. If it weren’t for the dominance of Catherine, Liana might have already cursed it out.
No matter how harshly Ronin tried to confront her, Liana ignored him entirely and directed her anger
toward Catherine.
Catherine had initially intended to nap, but unexpectedly, someone was constantly chattering beside
her. Finally, she showed a reaction.
She lazily opened her eyes and lifted her eyelids, revealing those mesmerizing eyes. A cold gaze fell
upon Liana. For a moment, Liana froze, her breath completely halting.
But soon, she reacted and pretended to stay calm as she locked eyes with Catherine. Although she
was scared inside, she still looked very defiant.
She couldn’t believe that Catherine would hit her in front of so many people. Catherine wouldn’t hit
Liana, not because she was afraid, but because she was just too lazy to bother with Liana. She looked
at Liana coldly and said, ” Before doing anything, ask yourself whether you deserve it or not!”
This sentence didn’t cause much harm, but it was highly insulting. Liana had a stubborn and indignant
look but held her anger in earlier.
Now, she was totally overwhelmed by anger. Her expression alternated between red and white, which
was amusing. The statement from Catherine was humiliating. She ripped Liana’s dignity off and
stomped on it on the ground.
That was not all, Catherine added coldly.
“I suggest you take it easy, considering that nobody in our class has a taste for jerks!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter listening to Catherine’s retort, Ronin stood on the side and applauded continuously.
“Catherine, you rock! That was an awesome speech!”
“The ability to humiliate people without using any vulgar language and to leave people speechless was
only possessed by Catherine,” thought he.
Under the mocking gaze of the entire class, Liana couldn’t take it anymore and ran out of the
classroom to hide. She hadn’t come back until the classes were over in the afternoon.
It was time to finish school, and Ronin’s thoughts began to stir. With a smirk, he leaned in toward
Catherine and gave her a pleasing look.
“Catherine, let’s have a barbecue together tonight. It’s been a long time since we had a meal together.”
These words were indeed true. Since Branden started cooking at home, Catherine rarely ate outside.
Whenever Branden was available, he would come to pick Catherine up after school, and then they
would go to his apartment first.
After having dinner, Catherine would return to Audrey’s apartment to rest. Sometimes, she was too lazy
to walk and slept at Branden’s apartment.
Catherine looked sideways at Ronin and said, “Think about what day it is today!”
Ronin was caught off guard and glanced at his phone before realizing it. He totally forgot about it. Now,
it was not the same as before.
He came to study with Catherine, and for him, this period was all about self- cultivation. He had nothing
to do every day and even lost track of time.
“Come on, Catherine! You can do it!”
“Okay!” Catherine slightly nodded as she slung her backpack on one shoulder and walked away. Ronin
couldn’t help but stare in a daze at Catherine’s back as she walked away. He felt like Catherine had
been acting differently lately.
But he couldn’t put into words what had explicitly changed. Perhaps the only adequate description
would be that Catherine gave him a sense of ordinary people.
For the first time, Ronin felt it would be the right decision to let Catherine return to the Swanns.
