    They not only had to free their long- trapped souls but also faced a lot of assignments, which left this


    group of students exhausted.


    However, this exhaustion was mainly for ordinary students. For some students, those who were


    exceptionally outstanding made others envy and jealous as things were different. Take Bryan Duncan


    and Ronin Oconnor, for example. Their situation was unmatched!


    Bryan seemed to be in his usual state, but Ronin appeared to be a bit abnormal. He hunched over his


    desk, eyes fixed on something outside the window. However, it wasn’t exactly clear what he was looking


    at.


    His normally dull eyes suddenly sparkled for a moment. Then, he stood up excitedly and shouted at the


    ssroom door, “Boss…”


    Well, there was no need to look as everyone knew who had just arrived. Compared to the typical


    starstruck fans, Ronin, who was a die-hard fan of Catherine, was the epitome of perfect idol worship.


    His eyes only lit up when Catherine was around. A smile appeared on his usually cold and emotionless


    face.


    Catherine walked into the ssroom expressionless, and Bryan had already pulled out a chair for her.


    She sat down without a word.


    After everyone had arrived, Ronin approached Catherine with an aggrieved look on his face. Catherine


    nced at him and calmly asked, “Is there something you need?”


    Ronin pouted and looked like a little wounded animal. His eyes were fixed on Catherine, and there was a


    hint of resentment and grievance in his tone. He said, “Boss, why didn’t you call me before you left


    yesterday?”


    Ronin had been upset the entire day because of this. He was so furious that he almost destroyed Triston


    Lambert’s ind. If it weren’t for Triston Lambert’s persistent persuasion, Ronin would have exploded.


    Catherine had thought it was something important, but it turned out to be a useless sentence. But it was


    true, and it fitted Ronin’s personality.


    “Something came up, and I had to leave in a hurry,” Catherine exined briefly. Ronin, who had just


    looked so aggrieved, suddenly changed his expression within seconds.


    This change was as fast as a sh of lightning.


    His expression left everyone around in awe. To make it even more amusing, Ronin himself seemed


    completely oblivious to his actions. He continued cheerfully, ” Oh, I see. Boss, next time, if it’s not an


    emergency, please let me know before you leave.”


    “Alright,” replied Catherine.


    As Catherine responded promptly, Ronin’s smile became even more obvious. Bryan, who was observing


    this, couldn’t help but silently curse, “Idiot!”


    Ronin’s obsession couldn’t even be described as being a fan anymore. It was more like a deep


    infatuation that was beyond cure.


    Just as everyone was enjoying their conversation, suddenly, Liana Swann burst into the room in a fit of


    anger. She pped her hand on the desk in front of Catherine.


    “Bang”


    A loud bang instantly grabbed everyone’s attention. All eyes were on this scene, and they had no idea


    what kind of drama was about to unfold.


    Among the students of ss 8. the Swanns sisters were the most prominent figures. Liana used to be


    the uncontested star of the ss, standing at the pinnacle of the social hierarchy as the heiress of the


    Swanns.


    However, ever since Catherine had arrived, the situation had changed dramatically. While Liana still held


    her position as a wealthy heiress, Catherine’s unique personality and the support of various influential


    figures propelled her to a much higher status, surpassing Liana by a long shot.


    People in the room cautiously watched this spectacle unfold, fearing that their argument might


    identally ignite them, too.


    After all, neither of these two individuals was someone to mess with.


    Ronin had been displeased with Liana for a while now, and she dared to confront their Boss publicly. “Did


    she consider them all as dead?” thought Ronin.


    Ronin kicked the table in front of him with a loud bang, creating an ear- piercing noise, and then stood


    up. His gaze turned ice-cold, and he exuded intense anger as he red at Su Liana.


    “Liana, are you looking for trouble?” said Ronin. Liana shot him a disdainful nce, particrly irritated


    by his tough stance.


    “Ronin, this is between Catherine and me. It’s none of your business, and I advise you not to interfere,”


    said Liana.


    Ronin clenched his fists and ready to charge, However, Catherine stepped in and stopped him. She held


    Ronin back by a hand while the other rested on the table. Her fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop,


    creating a rhythmic beat.


    “Speak if you have something to say,” said Catherine. Catherine’s words were enough to send shivers


    down Liana’s spine.


    However, thinking that she had the moral high ground today, Liana raised her head arrogantly. She


    appeared to be an angry elder sister who had lost her rationality.


    Liana queried, “Catherine, what do you mean by this? What did Johnathan do to you that you want to


    send him to Dentler Academy?


    “Do you even know what Dentler Academy is? Do you know how dangerous and terrifying it is?


    “Johnathan is your brother! Are you really willing to threaten our parents and force your brother into such


    a dangerous situation? Do you have a heart of stone?”


    Liana’s voice was loud, and everyone could hear her clearly. The actions of Catherine left everyone in


    shock. Nobody had expected Catherine to do something like this.


    Most students hadn’t heard of Dentler Academy before, but from Liana’s description, they could tell it


    wasn’t a good ce. A few students who were familiar with Dentler Academy whispered in shock.


    “Dentler Academy? Oh my god, that’s like hell! Going to that school means risking your life. It’s


    terrifying.”


    Catherine remained silent, and her cold gaze fixed on Liana. “Is that why you came here in such a rage,


    just to ask me about this?”


    Liana was clearly infuriated by Catherine’s attitude. She red at Catherine with a rage bordering on


    madness and eximed, “Is it just for this? Catherine, how can you casually say such things?”


    If someone were to observe Liana right now carefully, they would notice a hint of a sinister smile in her


    eyes, contrary to her outward appearance of anger.


    “Catherine, did you do this on purpose? Are you afraid that Johnathan will take your ce in the


    Swanns, so you’re willing to put him in such a dangerous situation?” said Liana.


    She continued, “How can your heart be so cruel? He’s your brother!”


    Liana’s impassioned usations made her appear as a sister who deeply cared for her brother but felt


    utterly powerless to protect him.


    Liana’s emotional outburst resonated with the entire ss. People began to whisper and use


    Catherine of her actions.


    They had heard of rivalries in wealthy families, but to put one’s brother in mortal danger for personal gain


    was unheard of.


    No one had expected Catherine to be this kind of person. Her silence only made people believe she was


    guilty.


    As for Dentler Academy, Ronin had heard of it, and he knew it was a terrifying ce. He couldn’t believe


    that his boss had sent Johnathan there. He felt there must be more to the story since Catherine did that.


    Seeing that people were misunderstanding his boss, Ronin couldn’t help but urge Catherine. He said,


    “Boss, please exin!”
