Chapter 720 A Sissy


    Marshall led the students to lunch after thepetition ended. They couldn’t return yet, as the result of


    thepetition would be announced in the afternoon. After discussing it, they all went to the


    designated cafeteria for the participants to have their meal.


    As they sat down after ordering their food, they watched the Johnville Team, who appeared arrogant


    and insolent, swagger into the cafeteria.


    Marshall, not wanting any trouble, advised his students, “After eating, let’s go to the rest area and rest


    for a while. Once thepetition resultes out in the afternoon, we can go back to the hotel and


    take a good rest.”


    Jason overheard these words as he passed by. “Why wait for the afternoon? In apetition that’s


    certain to be lost, waiting for the result is meaningless. I advise you guys not to waste time. Go buy a


    ticket back home early and focus on your coursework. Hah! You’re going to lose anyway!”


    Jason’s disdainfulughter infuriated the students of Styre University. They wanted to retort, but they


    couldn’t find any reason to support their argument. They didn’t even believe in their own team’s


    potential sess, so who else would believe in them? Ultimately, they were not confident enough.


    Eamon was worried that Jason’s words would affect Catherine’s mood, so he kindly came over to


    comfort her. ”


    Catherine, don’t be sad and don’t be upset. You don’t need to listen to that idiot’s nonsense. You’re


    amazing, and we all admire you!”


    Although it took some time for Catherine to execute the n, resulting in a rushedpletion of the


    experiment, her strategy was amazing. Even with a day’s time, Eamon might not have been able to


    Catherine remained silent. “Why would I be sad?” she wondered.


    The members who participated in thepetition were well aware of Catherine’s capabilities. They had


    noints. Several of them tried tofort Catherine.


    Catherine swallowed her words back down. “Forget it,” she thought. “Let’s wait for the result in the


    afternoon before wasting time on exnations.”


    Those led by Paddy, after hearing these sarcastic remarks, all turned their criticism towards Catherine.


    In their eyes, it wouldn’t have escted to the current situation if it weren’t for Catherine’s aggressive


    approach against the Johnville Team that made them issue a public apology.


    Paddy couldn’t contain his frustration as he watched Catherine eating calmly. “Looks like she’s too


    stupid to understand what’s going on,” he eximed. “She caused so much trouble and tarnished the


    reputation of Styre University, yet she can still sit there and eat as if nothing’s happened. It’s truly


    amazing!”

    His sarcastic remarks were not directly targeting anyone, but everyone knew well who he was referring


    to.


    Amelia, a staunch supporter of Catherine, couldn’t hold back her anger anymore. “Paddy, what


    nonsense are you talking about? Aren’t you from Styre University? Why are you joining in with a bunch


    of outsiders to mock us? What are you up to?”


    Being criticized, Paddy was furious. He red at Amelia, saying, “Did I say anything about you? Why


    are you so worked up? And tell me, am I wrong? Isn’t Styre University’s reputation being tarnished by


    her?”


    Paddy might have been average in studies, but he was quite the smooth talker. Unable to out-argue


    him, Amelia stomped her foot in frustration. “You…”


    Seeing Amelia’s frustration, Paddy felt a sense of triumph and taunted, “If you can’t speak, then sit the


    hell down!”


    Amelia was seething, and seeing Catherine sitting calmly and elegantly eating, she was confused.


    “Catherine, why are you soposed? Paddy is ndering you. Aren’t you angry?”


    Catherine calmly put down her fork and looked at Amelia, asking her, “What’s there to be angry with a


    sissy like him?”


    Amelia, who was initially fuming, suddenly burst intoughter upon hearing Catherine’s words. “Yeah,


    that’s true!”


    Despite Paddy’s tall stature, his habit of gesturing and talking incessantly made him seem effeminate.


    After Catherine’sment, everyone present thought of Paddy’s behavior and realized she had a


    point.


    Paddy noticed the strange gazes everyone was giving him and became agitated. “What are you looking


    at? Is there something wrong with your eyes? Don’t stare at me!” His voice rose and cracked, which


    became a more high- pitched and effeminate tone. The onlookers, unable to contain themselves, burst


    intoughter.


    Unable to bear it any longer, Paddy mmed down his fork and prepared to leave. Before he departed,


    he issued a final barb at Catherine. “Wait and see how you’ll embarrass yourself this afternoon!”


    Fergus shook his head in the direction Paddy had left and then walked over to apologize to Marshall.


    “Marshall, I’m sorry. I didn’t teach my student well.”


    Marshall quickly waved his hand, telling Fergus not to worry. There were plenty of people with thoughts


    simr to Paddy’s. It was just that Paddy was too eager to show his inner feelings, which made sense.


    Furthermore, Fergus had publicly apologized. If Marshall were to hold a grudge, it would just make him


    aughingstock.


    After epting Fergus’s apology, Marshall lost his appetite. He looked at the students sitting beside


    him and thought about Paddy’s words before leaving. He was considering leaving with the students


    now rather than staying here and subjecting them to ridicule. He’d rather bear the brunt of the insults


    alone!


    While everyone else was busy watching the drama unfold, Catherine had already finished her meal.


    Then, she took out her phone and sent a photo. Almost immediately, she received a reply. [Good girl!]


    These two simple words contained endless indulgence.


    Meanwhile, Branden had been busy as well. He took the opportunity to inspect the business in Alton.


    He indulged Catherine in many ways, but he also had his bottom line. If she didn’t eat on time, he


    would put aside his official duties ande to watch her finish her meal before leaving.


    After receiving the reply, Catherine put away her phone and stood up. Before leaving, she lightly


    pressed her hand on Marshall’s shoulder. “Professor Hartley, desertion is not something a man should


    do!”


    Marshall was stunned, his eyes fixed on Catherine’s graceful figure as she left. ” How did she seem to


    read my mind?” he wondered. She guessed his thoughts as soon as they urred to him, which was


    truly amazing!
