Catherine skimmed through the materials Marshall handed her and found that the experimental project


    was very simr to what Rodge was currently working on.


    Rodge hadn’t yet ovee the entire experiment; he hadn’t even passed the first phase. She had


    been helping Rodge adjust the data but wasn’t physically present in theb. All the data was based on


    Rodge’s feedback, which inadvertently added difficulty and slowed down the progress of the


    experiment. If she joined the project at Styre University, she could directly observe the entire


    experimental process, which would better help Rodgeplete the experiment.


    “I’m in!”


    With these three simple but decisive words, Catherine agreed to Marshall’s request to join theb.


    Marshall was extremely excited; he could tell that Catherine was an absolute genius in this field. If he


    could bring such talent into their experiment, it would definitely help hisb make remarkable progress.


    For the past two years, hisb had been at a standstill, unable to implement experimental projects, and


    had reached a bottleneck. He had been unable to make a breakthrough.


    That day, in the botanical garden, Catherine pointed out hisputational error straight to the point. At


    that moment, he felt like he saw hope. Perhaps Catherine could be the hope to lead theb to a


    breakthrough.


    In addition to agreeing, Catherine also made a request. “I’ll join, but only for this one project.”


    Amelia looked at Catherine’s expressionless face and secretly admired her, thinking, “Catherine truly


    lives up to her reputation as a top- notch expert, daring to set conditions in front of Professor Hartley.


    Catherine will definitely be the leading figure at Styre University!”


    Marshall smiled knowingly, looking at Catherine with a sense of mutual understanding. He hadn’t even


    mentioned other projects to Catherine. The project he had just presented was intentionally used to test


    her, and everything went just as he had expected. She was the genius he had been looking for. Only


    such talent could understand how great his current project was.


    “Okay, no problem!” Marshall readily agreed to Catherine’s conditions. ”


    After ss, I’ll take you to theb for a tour,” he added.


    Returning to the front of the ssroom, Marshall was greeted by Jada. “Professor Hartley, are you


    ready to start the ss?” she inquired.


    Marshall nodded indifferently. “Let’s begin!” His demeanor shifted back to that of a stern instructor, a far


    cry from the amiable attitude he had just shown Catherine.


    Feeling like a clown, Jada retreated to the side, enduring the scrutiny of the entire ss, feeling


    extremely embarrassed. She couldn’t understand what was so special about Catherine that even


    Marshall treated her differently. Not only had he invited Catherine to theb, but after being rejected, he


    had also dangled the most valuable project in the entireb to entice Catherine.


    If this project seeded, theirb would lead globally, and they, as researchers, would gain recognition


    among the world’s scientificmunity. It was the ultimate honor, and Marshall had given this


    opportunity to Catherine, a freshman who hadn’t even opened her textbooks once. Why?

    Anger and resentment almost consumed Jada. Perhaps earlier, she could have endured it and waited


    for the implementation of the next n. But now, she couldn’t wait any longer. She had to destroy


    Catherine and reim everything that belonged to her.


    When no one was paying attention, Jada discreetly slipped out of the ssroom, clutching her phone.


    She was determined to change her ns and make Catherine pay the price for her pride.


    As the bell rang, Marshall promptly announced the end of the ss. He didn’t like to drag on, nor did he


    want to take up the students’ break time. However, being a renowned professor at Styre University,


    leaving after ss wasn’t so simple.


    Thetter half of the ss had been so captivating that many students were still engrossed in it and


    had questions to ask after ss. They had no choice but to stop Marshall and seek his exnations.


    Seeing Catherine stand up, Marshall, afraid she might leave, quickly called out in her direction,


    “Catherine, wait a moment. I’ll take you to thebter.”


    The surrounding students nced in Catherine’s direction, their eyes filled with envy. “To be favored by


    Professor Hartley, Catherine is truly fortunate,” they thought.


    Catherine heard Marshall’s call and paused with her book in hand before sitting back down in her seat.


    Seeing her sit down, Amelia followed suit.


    Catherine turned her head to look at her, raising her eyes and asking softly, ” Aren’t you leaving?”


    Amelia chuckled mischievously. ”


    Catherine, can I go with you to visit theb? Even though I’m not qualified to go to theb, I want to


    take this opportunity to have a look. You know, Professor Hartley’sb is the ultimate dream for


    students in this field nationwide!”


    Amelia’s expectant expression amused Catherine. “Okay,” Catherine agreed simply.


    Hearing this, Amelia was taken aback. She had expected to persuade Catherine for a while and then


    have Catherine ask Marshall for permission.


    She didn’t anticipate Catherine’s immediate agreement. She stared at Catherine in astonishment.


    “Really?”


    Shrugging, Catherine’s face was filled with nonchnce. “Do you want to go or not?”


    “Yes, yes, yes!” Amelia nodded vigorously.


    “Then let’s go!” Her voice, though soft, carried a verypelling tone.


    Amelia firmly believed that Catherine would follow through on her promise.


    Ten minutester, Marshall finally managed to escape the questioning students. He packed his


    teaching materials and approached Catherine. ” Catherine, let’s go!”


    Catherine stood up, and Amelia stood up as well. She was about to exin the situation to Marshall,


    but Catherine stopped her. She didn’t know what Catherine meant, but since Catherine didn’t want her


    to speak, she remained silent.


    The two followed Marshall to the most mysteriousboratory in Styre University, the top university in


    Eskana.


    At Styre University, Marshall had aboratory building all to himself, a promise personally given to him


    by the university president when he first started teaching at the university.


    They had to go through multiple processes and various password verifications to enter theboratory.


    Each time they passed a checkpoint, Marshall would introduce to Catherine the passwords and how to


    ess them.


    Amelia, unable to contain her curiosity, quietly asked Marshall, “Professor Hartley, when you talk about


    these confidential passwords, should I step aside to avoid them?”


    Marshall looked at her curiously. “Why would you need to avoid them? If you don’t know the


    passwords, how are you supposed to enter in the future?”


    Amelia was taken aback. “In the future? Professor Hartley, are you saying I can enter theboratory?”


    “Aren’t you Catherine’s assistant? Won’t you enter theboratory with her?” Marshall looked at her with


    some confusion.


    Amelia looked at Marshall, then turned her head to nce at Catherine, still not understanding when


    she became Catherine’s assistant. The sudden surprise of being able to enter the most famous


    laboratory in the country left her feeling dazed.


    Catherine smiled lightly, raised her eyebrows at Amelia, and whispered, ” Pay attention to what the


    professor said. We’ll talk about the restter.”


    Amelia nodded silently, feeling touched, and followed behind Catherine. She knew that Catherine must


    have fought for this opportunity, and she absolutely couldn’t be careless. She had to study hard and not


    let Catherine down.
