Chapter 644 An Honor
Catherine did not embrace Amelia’s good intentions.
This approach was too foolish. If she could find the thought process online, so could any other student.
Getting caught would be the real humiliation, and Catherine would be theughingstock.
As long as Catherine didn’t want to, no one could force her to do anything.
It was not that she disrespected the teacher by noting up to solve the problem; it was just that
even if she did, this teacher already held a grudge against her and would not let her go.
The ssmates, sensing the tense atmosphere in the ssroom, couldn’t help but discuss in hushed
tones.
“I heard that this teacher went to the principal. She strongly insisted that if Catherine doesn’t attend
ss, even if the school doesn’t expel her, she will give Catherine a failing grade for the final exams,
ensuring she never graduates.”
“So, it’s all because of the fear of expulsion. I thought Catherine was so amazing, but it seems not.”
“The weak cannot ovee the strong, right? After all, she is a teacher, and Catherine is just a
student.”
“Her arrogant attitude won’t change anything, even if shees to ss. The teacher will still be upset.
If she’s so capable, why not solve the problem.”
The surrounding discussions continued, and Catherine, hearing them, paid no attention and read her
book with an expressionless face.
However, the teacher at the podium had no intention of letting Catherine off so easily. She wrote
another problem on the ckboard and then stared directly at Catherine. “This problem is simple
enough, right? Come up and write down the solution steps.”
It was indeed a straightforward problem; many had already figured out the solution, but they also
understood the teacher was intentionally making it difficult for Catherine. If Catherine said she couldn’t
do it now, it would genuinely be on purpose.
Openly defying the teacher was not a minor offense. With an expressionless face, Catherine stood up,
walked to the front, and politely took the chalk from the teacher’s hand. She didn’t seem angry with the
teacher who intended to give her a hard time.
She heard a disdainful snort from the teacher behind her as she turned around. “Humph.”
Without saying anything, Catherine quickly wrote down the steps of the solution on the ckboard.
As she was about to leave, Catherine suddenly stopped. She casually wrote down the solution for the
so-called difficult problem beneath it.
Seeing Catherine returning to her seat, the teacher turned around and was ready to mock Catherine.
However, she paused upon seeing the answer.
Catherine not only solved the simple problem but also tackled the challenging one, providing a
straightforward solution that was not only correct but also far simpler than the teacher’splex
process.
“Hold on!” the teacher suddenly shouted sternly.
Catherine stopped in her tracks, turning to face the teacher expressionlessly.
The teacher questioned her with a deep frown, “You clearly knew the solution, so why didn’t youe
up earlier?”
Calm andposed, Catherine responded in a cold, clear voice, “I just thought of it.”
They said the problem wasplex, so it was expected to take some extra time to think about it.
However, Catherine’s answer still shocked the teacher. It took her three days toe up with the
solution, and hers was an unusuallyplicated process, unlike Catherine’s concise rity.
In the teacher’s silent moment, Catherine said again, “There are three more ways to solve it.”
The teacher looked up sharply, watching Catherine with shining eyes.
She was a problem enthusiast, always fascinated by various problem-solving methods.
This was why she gave up a well- paying job in a foreignpany and stayed to teach at the
university. Here, she could pursue research and learn more purely while earning a considerable sry.
“Are you sure there are three more ways to solve it?” asked the teacher.
Catherine returned to the podium, and the teacher handed her the chalk again. This time, there was no
mockery.
Catherine wrote down the other three solution methods on the nk space on the ckboard.
The entire ss was stunned. After thinking for so long, they hadn’t even figured out the thought
process. Catherine, however, had written out four ways to answer the question in a short time.
“Is this the difference between an ordinary person and a genius?” they thought.
Those who had been gossiping about Catherine were now silent, and even the teacher on the podium
saw Catherine differently.
Unable to bear it any longer, the teacher asked, “Catherine, have you been working on experiments
with Professor Hartley all this time?”
The rumors outside suggested Catherine had connections, especially with the principal. The principal
and Marshall were like brothers, and it was said Catherine’s entry into theb was due to these
connections and was only for experiences.
This teacher loved to studyplex problems in her daily life, and she was most displeased with this
kind of student who pulled strings.
Coupled with the fact that Catherine had been on leave and hadn’te to ss, the teacher became
increasingly dissatisfied with Catherine and couldn’t help but want to give her a hard time.
Catherine nodded without intending to exin further.
Amelia, beneath, couldn’t stand to see Catherine being bullied and quickly raised her hand, exining
to the teacher, “Ms. Bourn, I’m also in Professor Hartley’sb, but I’m just doing odd jobs. Catherine is
indeed working diligently in theb every day, single-handedly managing an entire project. Other
seniors can’t help, and even Professor Hartley asionallyes to her for advice onb-rted
matters. I can vouch for her; she didn’t skip ss on purpose. She is genuinely working on
experiments.”

All those present were taken aback by this statement.
Initially, they thought Catherine was just fooling around in theb to add some experience to her
resume for future job hunting.
After all, after graduation, having experience in Marshall’sb would make anyone a target for major
corporations.
However, Catherine not only went to theb but also specifically managed a research project. What
was even more terrifying was that even Marshall had to consult her onb matters asionally.
How did that sound so incredible? Yet, that was the truth; Super Catherine was indeed that formidable.
The way everyone looked at Catherine had changed. Catherine, however, remained expressionless.
She seemed utterly unperturbed and showed no signs of being affected.
“Ms. Bourn, if there’s nothing else, I’ll return to my seat,” said Catherine.
The teacher paused momentarily, then subconsciously waved her hand, letting Catherine go back.
After Catherine sat down, some curious ssmates approached her. ”
Catherine, did Professor Hartley really consult you?”
Catherine responded indifferently. “It’s not consulting; it’s just discussing problems with each other.”
Originally, bing Marshall’s student was already a glorious thing. However, among their
ssmates, there was such a powerhouse. Now, all ssmates looked at Catherine with admiration.
With such strength, Catherine’s future achievements were undoubtedly immeasurable. To be
ssmates with such a person was an honor.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the ss to end. Thetter half of this ss felt like a dream.
Catherine pulled her hat from her drawer and put it on with a calm expression. She was about to leave
when the teacher on the podium suddenly said again, “Catherine, wait!”
Those who were about to leave stopped in their tracks, wondering what the teacher was up to. “Is she
nning to cause trouble for Super Catherine again?” they thought.
