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 come up 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 come up, 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 come you 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
drama 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 time on 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? I 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 come at 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 asked softly, “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, I wrote a question on the blackboard to test the students in
the class. I 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.
