All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 574 I'm Your Mother

Catherine, with her wireless earphones hidden in her hair, didn’t hear a word of what was being

said on the stage. Suddenly, Amelia violently nudged her, prompting her to press the power button

on her earphones.

Seeing that Catherine noticed her, Amelia quickly explained the situation to her in a hushed voice.

“Jada wants you to cup and solve the problem!”

Catherine looked up blankly and happened to lock eyes with Jada’s complacent gaze. She coldly

replied, “I can’t solve it.”

Then, Catherine continued to ignore Jada.

This decisive and straightforward response was completely unexpected by Jada. She had been

confident that Catherine would cup, considering that the problem wasn’t too complex for

someone of her level but posed a certain difficulty level for a freshman.

If Catherine couldn’t answer, she could mock her. If Catherine solved it, she could demonstrate an

alternative solution, showcasing her strength. She had thought through all these scenarios but

hadn’t anticipated Catherine’s direct and resolute refusal.

Jada looked at Catherine with a cold sneer. Since Catherine had willingly stepped into the firing line,

she would be very willing to teach her a lesson.

“Catherine, aren’t you the student personally recruited by Professor Hartley? How cyou can’t

even handle a problem like this?” The thick tension in the air drew everyone’s attention to the

interaction between the two.

It was clear to everyone that Jada and Catherine were at odds, especially considering the incident

that had already spread throughout the campus. Many classmates were aware of the animosity

between the two women. A showdown between them was imminent, and everyone was already

preparing to watch the unfold.

Catherine had initially wanted to rest, but the woman on the stage was incessantly chattering. She

looked up again, and her cold gaze swept over Jada, filled with disdain and mockery.

“Stop showing off with such a childish problem. Instead of wasting ton that, why don’t you

think about how to develop your dull mind?”

Amelia burst into laughter, clutching her stomach. “Catherine really has a sharp tongue!” she thought.

Jada hadn't expected Catherine to show her such disrespect, daring to insult her in front of the entire class.

Bang!

She slammed her hand on the desk, glaring in Catherine's direction, her neck veins popping with rage.

“Catherine, you've gone too far. Have you no respect for anyone? | asked you to solve the problem, and if you

didn’t want to, that’s fine. But why did you say the problem was childish and even insulted me? Who do you

think you are? “she scolded.

“I'm your mother. How about that?” Catherine responded unapologetically, her attitude extremely arrogant. She

wouldn't show Jada any respect.

No one had expected Catherine to be so harsh, not sparing any mercy in her rebuke of Jada. The classroom was

instantly filled with tension, and the other students subconsciously held their breath, watching quietly.

Suddenly, the arrival of someone broke the silence inside the room. It was unclear who first noticed the door, but

someone shouted, “Professor Hartley is here!”

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the door and saw Marshall rushing in with his teaching materials.

Jada, upon seeing Marshall, felt a surge of joy. She had been worried about not having the chance to show him

the true colors of Catherine, and now the timing was perfect.

She quickly complained to Marshall, ” Professor Hartley, you've cat just the right time. This student named

Catherine disrupted the classroom discipline and is affecting the rest of the class.”

Marshall looked at Catherine and askedsoftly, “Oh, is that so? Have you disrupted the classroom discipline?”

Catherine lowered her eyes with a hint of a domineering air between her brows. Though not loud, her cold voice

was heard clearly by everyone in the classroom. “Believe whatever she says.”

Seeing Catherine's nonchalant and arrogant attitude in front of Marshall, Jada secretly felt elated. Catherine was

too arrogant; she had no idea who Marshall was. As a top expert in his field, he despised people who were full of

themselves.

“She will be in big trouble,” Jada thought.

Jada couldn't wait to tell Marshall. about Catherine's behavior.

“Professor Hartley, | wrote a question on the blackboard to test the students in the class. | didn’t expect

Catherine not only to disobey the instructions but also to insult me!” she explained.

Marshall glanced at the chatty Jada, who immediately fell silent.

After Jada stopped talking, Marshall began to examine the question on the blackboard. Seeing his expression

darken, Jada knew that Catherine was in trouble.

Finally, Marshall spoke. However, what he said shocked everyone.

After checking the question on the blackboard, Marshall calmly said, ” She's right.”

Jada was stunned, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at Marshall.

“Professor Hartley, you...” she began, unable to comprehend.

Thinking Jada didn’t understand what was going on, Marshall pointed at Catherine and repeated, “I

said, what she said is indeed correct. With her intelligence and abilities, this kind of question is

indeed somewhat childish to her.”

After getting a definite answer, Jada was dumbfounded. “How could Professor Hartley say such

words?” she wondered.

Marshall then walked over to Catherine and stopped in front of her.

“Catherine, we meet again. Have you considered my invitation from last time? Would you like to

join my lab and work on the project with me?” he asked.

After hearing the professor’s words, everyone around was left in shock, their mouths hanging open.

Marshall, the renowned professor of Styre University, actually invited a freshman to his lab! This

was an opportunity that many doctoral students would beg for but never get. ” Did Professor

Hartley really extend an invitation to a freshman?” they all asked inwardly, wondering if there was

something wrong with their hearing.

Then, Marshall said something even more shocking. “I hope you won’t refusethis time,” he said

sincerely to Catherine. “Our lab is about to embark on a new project. Here’s the information. I think

you'll be interested.”

He handed Catherine a document from his arms. It was then revealed to everyone that Marshall had

previously invited Catherine, only to be rejected by her. “Who is Catherine exactly?”.they couldn’t

help but ask inwardly. “How could she make Professor Hartley repeatedly ask her to join the lab?”

Jada couldn’t snap out of her shock. Marshall’s words felt like a slap in the face to her. The thing she

had longed for was disdainfully refused by Catherine. How could she bear it?

Everyone was waiting for Catherine’s response, wondering if she would reject Marshall for the

second time. One rejection was unbelievable enough. If it happened again, the entire Styre

University would erupt into a commotion. How could someone be so disrespectful to Professor

Hartley?
