Chapter 559 Personal Grudges Jada couldn't bear it. She had heard before that Marshall had discovered a highly intelligent student during the admission process, and he had even snatched her from the University of Penny.
According to Marshall, he was particularly interested in this student and planned to bring her into his research group.
Jada had been following Marshall for a long time, from freshman year until now, always assisting him in any way she could. Not only that, but the Facers had also invested a considerable amount in Marshall's laboratory; and this year was her chance to enter the lab.
What right did Catherine have to get into the research group? Jada couldn't believe it.
Anger and jealousy had made Jada lose her rationality. She looked at Catherine with annoyance and couldn't care less about her image as she sneered. “These days, there are plenty of people who seek attention and create hype for themselves. Who knows if you're the student Professor Hartley mentioned? Could it be true or just a made-up story? As soon as Jada said that, the way people looked at Catherine changed. Sbystanders were immediately led astray by Jada’s words.
Amelia anxiously tugged at Catherine's sleeve. “Catherine, you need to think of a way to clarify this situation. If you don’t show them the evidence, it will be troublesin the future.” Catherine didn’t want to explain in the first place, but Jada’s face was just so annoying.
Jada heard the discussions rising around her and felt somewhat pleased. She just wanted to see Catherine's reputation destroyed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, Catherine stood up and stared directly JR I stared back, refusing to back down. She somewhat smugly asked, ” What? Are you angry because I told the truth?” Catherine looked calmly at her and said, “This is Styre University. | advise you to use your brain and not embarrass yourself like a clown here.” “You...” Jada was instantly speechless. Her face turned red and looked particularly ridiculous.
Amelia also noticed that Jada was targeting Catherine. Jada’s high and mighty attitude was quite annoying.
Seeing Catherine fight back, Amelia immediately cto her support.
“Exactly. This is Styre University. Rumors like these can be debunked in minutes. We're not fools. Besides, Jada, Professor Hartley only recruited one student from Casier, and that student is Catherine.” Catherine's and Amelia’s words left Jada at a loss for words.
Jada was powerless to retort, her face turning dark with embarrassment. Just now, she made a foolish decision in a moment of anger and didn’t expect Catherine to react so quickly.
The atmosphere becthick with tension. Catherine didn’t want her. personal grudges to disrupt the class for the other students.
“It’s meaningless to say these things. Let's not waste the first class,” Catherine said calmly. Many students nodded in agreement and urged Jada to start the class.
Jada was a senior at Styre University. She had been following Marshall for a long time. Although she wasn’t a top student, it wasn’t difficult for her to teach the basics to the freshmen.
Jada had originally wanted to showcase her abilities and prestige in front of the freshmen, but she was completely embarrassed by Catherine before the first class. All her plans were disrupted, and the first class ended in haste. As soon as the bell rang, she packed up and left the classroom awkwardly.
As soon as Jada left, whispers filled the classroom.
“Didn’t they say that students who can enter Professor Hartley's research group are all exceptional? Why does that girl called Jada seem so average?” “Perhaps speople are just not good with words and focus more on their projects. Those who can enter the research group are definitely not average students.” Hearing the discussion between two classmates, someone who knew a little inside information stepped forward to argue, “I heard that Jada is the daughter of the Facers, one of the prominent families in Loxton. The Facers have sponsored a lot of projects of Professor Hartley's lab.” After saying that, this person gave everyone a meaningful look, leaving them to interpret it themselves.
Amelia cover to gossip with Catherine.
“I was wondering why Jada was so arrogant. Turns out she has such a powerful background.” Amelia also grew up in Loxton, so she had heard of the Facers.
The Facers were well-known in Loxton as a wealthy and influential family, so it was no wonder Jada was so arrogant.
Catherine didn’t want to pay much attention to Jada’s background. She simply said, “Let’s go back to the dormitory.” Amelia saw that Catherine wasn’t interested, so she stopped speaking, ready to go back to the dormitory with Catherine.
As they reached the classroom door, they were stopped by the president of the EIE Classmate Union, Sophia.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSince the physical training had just ended, the president of the EIE Classmate Union had not yet been formally elected. Sophia was serving as the interim president.
Within the week, the Classmate Union would be officially formed, and everyone had the right to sign up for the election.
Sophia was a bit short in stature, and Amelia had to lower her head when looking at her.
“What's up, Sophia?” Sophia smiled at them, asking, “Do you have any interest in joining the Classmate Union?” Catherine remained calm, exuding a cold aura. Her intimidating presence made normal people hesitate to approach her. Sophia didn’t even dare to speak to her and could only turn to Amelia.
Amelia had been the academic representative for three years in high school and was truly tired of it.
“Sorry, we're not interested,” she replied.
Sophia didn’t want to give up so soon. She tried to persuade the two of them.
“You both know that there are only a few girls in the class. Amelia, ‘I've seen your record. You were the academic representative for three years in high school. Why not sign up?” After saying that, she glanced at Catherine and cautiously continued, ” And Catherine, | think the position of learning activities coordinator would suit you well.” Catherine didn’t respond or get angry, so Sophia continued to persuade her. ” I've seen the video of you participating in the dance competition. Your dance moves were amazing. I've also seen the variety show you were on. Audrey, the superstar, is your sister, right?” Upon receiving this piece of news, Amelia couldn't help but scream.
“Oh my goodness! Is this true? Catherine, you have a famous star as your sister, and you're talented yourself!” In Amelia’s senior year, she focused on preparing for the SAT and getting into her dream university. She barely had tto use her phone and spent every day battling various practice questions.
Catherine didn’t hide anything. Since the moment she appeared on the show, there were sthings that couldn't be avoided.
Seeing Catherine nod, Amelia becso excited that she almost jumped up.
Sophia quickly calmed her down, ” Amelia, you and Catherine are roommates. You'll have plenty of tto be excited. Can you spare stfor me, or maybe helppersuade Catherine?” Sophia then turned to Catherine. ” Catherine, sign up and participate in the election, please. | believe you would be the best candidate for the position of learning activities coordinator in our class.”
