Chapter 165 Big News

On the following day. When Catherine appeared at school, the whole grade was shocked. “Didn’t she offend the Student Union? Why can she still study here?”

“Who knows, perhaps she has come to pack up her things!” Yesterday, Catherine confronted the Student Union with a group of people and reported the entire Student Union.

“Oh my!” All the students who were aware of this news were utterly shocked.

“This is the Student Union!” thought they. The chairs of the several departments inside not only held the title of “chair,” but each of them had considerable influence and authority. This was a prestigious school where every student admitted came from a wealthy background.

Those who could join the Student Union and become department chairs were all from powerful financial conglomerate families.

It was truly astonishing that Catherine attempted to challenge the entire Student Union dominated by a powerful financial conglomerate all on her own and still managed to show up at school safely the next day.

All eyes were on Catherine, but no one dared to stare at her openly. Although they had never witnessed Catherine losing her temper, Catherine exuded an aura that gave off an intimidating and unwelcoming presence, making others hesitant to approach.

She was like a cold light on the high mountain. One could only quietly admire her and couldn’t approach her rashly. Furthermore, Catherine had two guardians by her side.

One was Bryan, the infamous and terrifying bully within the school, and the other was the newly risen academic genius freshman, Ronin Oconnor.

Being able to keep up with Bryan and not getting taken advantage of by him, Ronin was definitely not just a simple character.

With the protection of these two individuals, Catherine was highly feared by the other students. After Catherine took her seat, Ronin proactively handed her a nutritious, high-protein breakfast.

There were quite a few things, and they filled the table. Seeing this, Bryan couldn’t help but tighten his throat and quipped, “Ronin, are you feeding pigs? So much stuff!”

Ronin rolled his eyes in disdain toward Bryan and said, “What do you know? Boss is still growing and needs more nourishment!”

“Boss fought a hard battle last night. Is it unacceptable to have a little extra high-protein replenishment today?” said he inwardly.

Last night’s epic battle was repeatedly discussed in the world hacker forum and was hailed as the most exciting showdown in nearly a decade. It was an extraordinary battle in a computer attack and defense war.

It was beyond amazing. Ronin felt a heightened sense of admiration in the way he saw Catherine today.

“As expected of Boss. She’s the best in everything, making people admire her greatly,” thought he.

“Still growing?” wondered Bryan. He gave Catherine a sidelong glance after listening to Ronin’s words. After scrutinizing Catherine from head to toe, Bryan’s gaze gradually slid down from her fair neck.

Her slender and graceful figure was tall, well-proportioned, plump yet elegant, which was truly a perfect and flawless physique.

With just a quick glance, Bryan felt his entire body tense up. Subconsciously reaching out to grab the bottle on the table, he prepared to swallow some water to relieve the heat in his body. He totally overlooked a major issue.

The water inside the bottle had only been filled when he left for school. It was hot! Hot as hell!

Bryan took a big gulp absentmindedly and almost scalded his entire mouth. He couldn’t help but blurt it out. Water splashed everywhere. Immediately, Class 8 fell into a state of silence.

It was worth noting that Bryan usually presented himself as a noble gentleman. However, today… he looked simply too awkward.

Not to mention the other classmates. Even Catherine paused her fork, looking at Bryan with confusion. The first to react was Ronin, his face contorted with rage and fury instantly.

“Damn, Bryan, you’re so disgusting!

“Seriously, you’re a grown-up and can’t figure out how to drink water?

“You sprayed water everywhere. How can Boss still eat now?”

At this moment, Ronin was even more fierce than a shrew. He cursed with precision, and his mouth was like a machine gun, firing a burst of rapid shots.

Despite the calm expression on his face, Bryan’s reddened ears betrayed his true emotions at the moment. He didn’t actually care about Ronin’s insults, but he felt embarrassed in front of Catherine.

He turned around with sincerity and bowed his head to apologize to Catherine. “Boss, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it…”

Catherine didn’t mind it. Ronin had prepared abundant food today. She had already eaten quite a lot earlier. She turned around and asked Ronin, Do you have ice cubes? Get him some!”

Oral burns could be serious. If left untreated, they might worsen and develop into painful ulcers. Ronin indeed had ice cubes. He even brought a small refrigerator to ensure that Catherine could always enjoy cold coke.

Despite his reluctance, Ronin took a glass of ice cubes and handed it to Bryan. Bryan happily accepted. “Thank you, Boss!”

“The feeling of being favored by Boss is really great, although it is indeed a bit embarrassing,” said he inwardly.

Just as the farce had finally come to an end, the class monitor, George Drax, suddenly stormed into the classroom shouting at the top of his lungs, “Big news, a shockingly huge piece of news in history!

“Goodness gracious. Catherine is truly impressive. Let me tell you…”

As George was about to make the announcement, he noticed Catherine lazily leaning on her chair and Bryan, who had something in his mouth and looked rather comical, by Catherine’s side. He was immediately taken aback.

He involuntarily blurted out. Catherine, why did you come so early today?” Subsequently, he stood there stupidly, his entire body frozen as if paralyzed.

Early in the morning, Audrey got up early. It was unknown what got into her. She insisted on taking Catherine to school.

Catherine usually arrived at the school gate at the last minute. So she indeed arrived a bit earlier than before. George acted impulsively because he believed that Catherine was absent from the class.

The other students focused on George with the utmost caution, desperately craving to uncover the big news. However, being intimidated by the authority of Catherine, they dared not ask. Catherine adjusted her posture and casually crossed her long legs over the top of the table.

Her whole body sank as she adjusted to a more comfortable position. Then she looked up at George with a calm gaze. George was a bit of a scaredy-cat. Catherine was worried she would frighten him.

“George, since this news is such a big deal, don’t waste time. Spill the beans! “said she. George had a face full of despair, as if on the verge of tears. He wondered why he could have encountered such a string of unfortunate events.

“Catherine, I…”

As he watched George’s hesitant and fidgety appearance, Ronin was growing increasingly impatient. He shook his head and shouted, “Stop wasting time. The boss asked you to speak, so speak!”

His chilling tone almost frightened George to his knees. He spoke up cautiously. “It’s… It’s those people from the Student Union…”

Catherine couldn’t help but feel impatient seeing his hesitant and uncertain appearance.

“Speak up! Don’t worry. Nobody will harm you!” added she.
