Chapter 589 The Truth
After Catherine finished the final step of her calction, she stood up and then approached these
experts.
She nced at the screen. As she watched the lines of code rapidly flickering, her mind processed the
entire program in mere seconds. “Let me give it a try.”
Although her cold voice was not loud, it broke the quiet and tense atmosphere of theb abruptly.
Instantly, everyone looked at Catherine, making her the center of focus.
Marshall hesitated and stared at Catherine. Although he didn’t know her too well, he believed Catherine
wouldn’t make such a request without reason.
As Marshall pondered, one of the students who had been quietly discussing earlier stepped forward.
It was Brodie, who had shed with Catherine before.
“Catherine, seeking the spotlight has its timing. What’s the point of causing a scene now?” Brodie
confidently remarked, “Don’t you know time is more valuable than everything else? Is your expertise
truly superior to these experts’?”
His voice reverberated through the entireb, causing mixed expressions among the onlookers.
Many felt Brodie had a point. After all, these were among the bestputer science experts at Styre
University, top- notch across the country, while Catherine was just a freshman.
Facing Brodie’s challenge, Catherine nced coldly at him. Her tone, though calm, held immense
authority as she retorted, “Quiet down for a moment. No one is treating you like a mute.”
Brodie was infuriated. He pointed at Catherine and said to Marshall, Professor Hartley, see this.
Catherine’s always this arrogant. Her attitude isn’t suitable for a research scientist.”

He aimed to reveal Catherine’s true nature to Marshall and ideally have her expelled from theb.
Marshall looked at Catherine. Watching herposed demeanor, Marshall decided to take a risk.
He reached out and tapped the man still engrossed at theputer in front. “Winston, step aside. Let
my student give it a try.”
Marshall’s words stunned everyone around, particrly Brodie. He didn’t expect Marshall to show such
favoritism toward Catherine.
Incredulously, Brodie eximed, ” Professor Hartley, this is…”
“What is it?” Marshall shot him a cold 11 nce and rebuked in a hushed tone, ” Do I need you to teach
me how to handle things?”
Hearing that, Brodie shivered and silently refrained from speaking further.
The person Marshall had called was a guest professor from Styre University’sputer science
department. He was almost equal in status to Marshall, and the two of them were friends.
Understanding Marshall’s character, Winston didn’t hesitate and stood up.
He rose and gestured for Catherine to take the vacant spot. He smiled lightly and said, “Come on,
freshman.”
Without hesitation, Catherine took her seat.
The moment Catherine sat down, her hands swiftlynded on the keyboard.
Her slender and graceful fingers moved across the square keys and danced swiftly.
As lines of code appeared on the screen, Winston, who had been spectating, turned increasingly
serious.
Incredulously, he leaned closer and stared at the screen. He murmured, ” How is this possible? How?”
Hearing his voice, Marshall grew curious. “Winston, what do you mean?”
Winston turned to Marshall and asked with a grave expression, “Where did you find this gem? Take me
there to dig a bit.”
Marshall smiled and was about to respond, but Catherine abruptly stopped and said coldly, “Done!”
Before anyone couldprehend, ab researcher eximed in delight, “It’s done. Myputer’s
fixed!”
Others hurried to check theirputers, and all were fixed too. Amelia rushed forward and found that
even herputer was fixed and back to normal operation.
“Catherine, you’re incredible!”
As Brodie looked at his now functionalputer, he was stunned and disbelieved in Catherine’s
abilities.
After pondering, upon seeing Catherine’sputer, he found his answer.
The next moment, Brodie shouted angrily, “Catherine, you’re despicable! You actually use this method
to boost yourself. Do you realize you’ve endangered the entireb?”
Hearing this usation, Catherine turned her head toward Brodie and frowned.
She coldly asked, “Why this intense desire for theatrics? Staying in thisb seems beneath you. You
should aim to show business and bring glory to our country.”
The people around chuckled at Catherine’s response.
Amelia rarely witnessed Catherine’s humor and burst outughing. Facing everyone’sughter, Brodie
felt embarrassed and redirected his usation toward Catherine.
“Catherine, you’re the one skilled at acting. This whole incident was orchestrated by you. You created
the virus, damaged theseputers, and then repaired them. Do you think no one would notice?”
Marshall looked at Brodie with a gloomy expression. “What are you implying? What do you mean by’
orchestrated’? Do you have evidence?”
“I do, Professor Hartley!” Brodie confidently stated and then walked to Catherine’sputer.
“Catherine, your methods are impressive, but even the most meticulous ns slip up!”
Catherine crossed her arms and gazed at Brodie with curiosity. “Do you think you are Holmes?”
“Stop trying to justify yourself!” Brodie struck a righteous pose. “Let me ask you. Why did every
computer get infected except yours? If this isn’t your doing, how is it so coincidental? Even Professor
Warner couldn’t crack the virus. As a freshman, you actually managed to crack it.”
As Brodie spoke, everyone’s attention shifted to Catherine’sputer. Its screen was still on and
disyed the document she had been working on.
The document was written during the virus attack. It proved Brodie wasn’t lying, and Catherine’s
computer had indeed remained unscathed.
Combined with Catherine’s extraordinary abilities, the perception of her among the group instantly
shifted.
Realizing this, Brodie turned to Marshall and shouted, “Professor Hartley, please give us the truth!”
