Chapter 720 A Sissy Marshall led the students to lunch after the competition ended. They couldn't return yet, as the result of the competition would be announced in the afternoon. After discussing it, they all went to the designated cafeteria for the participants to have their meal.
As they sat down after ordering their food, they watched the Johnville Team, who appeared arrogant and insolent, swagger into the cafeteria.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMarshall, not wanting any trouble, advised his students, "After eating, let's go to the rest area and rest for a while. Once the competition result comes out in the afternoon, we can go back to the hotel and take a good rest." Jason overheard these words as he passed by. "Why wait for the afternoon? In a competition that's certain to be lost, waiting for the result is meaningless. I advise you guys not to waste time. Go buy a ticket back hearly and focus on your coursework. Hah! You're going to lose anyway!" Jason's disdainful laughter infuriated the students of Styre University. They wanted to retort, but they couldn't find any reason to support their argument. They didn't even believe in their own team's potential success, so who else would believe in them? Ultimately, they were not confident enough.
Eamon was worried that Jason's words would affect Catherine's mood, so he kindly cover to comfort her. " Catherine, don't be sad and don't be upset. You don't need to listen to that idiot's nonsense. You're amazing, and we all admire you!" Although it took stfor Catherine to execute the plan, resulting in a rushed completion of the experiment, her strategy was amazing. Even with a day's time, Eamon might not have been able to cup with a better one than Catherine's. She was still so young, and she had a promising future.
Catherine remained silent. "Why would I be sad?" she wondered.
The members who participated in the competition were well aware of Catherine's capabilities. They had no complaints. Several of them tried to comfort Catherine.
Catherine swallowed her words back down. "Forget it," she thought. "Let's wait for the result in the afternoon before wasting ton explanations." Those led by Paddy, after hearing these sarcastic remarks, all turned their criticism towards Catherine. In their eyes, it wouldn't have escalated to the current situation if it weren't for Catherine's aggressive approach against the Johnville Team that made them issue a public apology.
Paddy couldn't contain his frustration as he watched Catherine eating calmly. "Looks like she's too stupid to understand what's going on," he exclaimed. “She caused so much trouble and tarnished the reputation of Styre University, yet she can still sit there and eat as if nothing's happened. It's truly amazing!" His sarcastic remarks were not directly targeting anyone, but everyone knew well who he was referring to.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmelia, a staunch supporter of Catherine, couldn't hold back her anger anymore. "Paddy, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you from Styre University? Why are you joining in with a bunch of outsiders to mock us? What are you up to?" Being criticized, Paddy was furious. He glared at Amelia, saying, “Did I say anything about you? Why are you so worked up? And tell me, am I wrong? Isn't Styre University's reputation being tarnished by her?" Paddy might have been average in studies, but he was quite the smooth talker. Unable to out-argue him, Amelia stomped her foot in frustration. "You..." Seeing Amelia's frustration, Paddy felt a sense of triumph and taunted, "If you can't speak, then sit the hell down!" Amelia was seething, and seeing Catherine sitting calmly and elegantly eating, she was confused. "Catherine, why are you so composed? Paddy is slandering you. Aren't you angry?" Catherine calmly put down her fork and looked at Amelia, asking her, "What's there to be angry with a sissy like him?" Amelia, who was initially fuming, suddenly burst into laughter upon hearing Catherine's words. "Yeah, that's true!" Despite Paddy's tall stature, his habit of gesturing and talking incessantly made him seem effeminate. After Catherine's comment, everyone present thought of Paddy's behavior and realized she had a point.
Paddy noticed the strange gazes everyone was giving him and becagitated. “What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with your eyes? Don't stare at me!" His voice rose and cracked, which beca more high-pitched and effeminate tone. The onlookers, unable to contain themselves, burst into laughter.
Unable to bear it any longer, Paddy slammed down his fork and prepared to leave. Before he departed, he issued a final barb at Catherine. "Wait and see how you'll embarrass yourself this afternoon!" Fergus shook his head in the direction Paddy had left and then walked over to apologize to Marshall. "Marshall, I'm sorry. I didn't teach my student well."
Marshall quickly waved his hand, telling Fergus not to worry. There were plenty of people with thoughts Ο similar to Paddy's Kwas just that Paddy was too eager to show his inner feelings, which made sense. Furthermore, Fergus had publicly apologized. If Marshall were to hold a grudge, it would just make him a laughingstock.
After accepting Fergus's apology, Marshall lost his appetite. He looked at the students sitting beside him and thought about Paddy's words before leaving. He was considering leaving with the students now rather than staying here and subjecting them to ridicule. He'd rather bear the brunt of the insults alone! While everyone else was busy watching the unfold, Catherine had already finished her meal. Then, she took out her phone and sent a photo. Almost immediately, she received a reply. [Good girl!] These two simple words contained endless indulgence.
Meanwhile, Branden had been busy as well. He took the opportunity to inspect the business in Alton Hen indulged Catherine in many ways, but he also had his bottom line. If she ད didn't eat on time, he would put aside his official duties and cto watch her finish her meal before leaving. After receiving the reply, Catherine put away her phone and stood up. Before leaving, she lightly pressed her hand on Marshall's shoulder. “Professor Hartley, desertion is not something a man should do!” Marshall was stunned, his eyes fixed on Catherine's graceful figure as she left." How did she seem to read my mind?" he wondered. She guessed his thoughts as soon as they occurred to him, which was truly amazing! X
