Ten minutes later, Catherine emerged from the doctor's office. Audrey's surgical outcome was even more perfect than she had anticipated. The wound had already begun to heal well, showing positive progress.Having learned the information, Catherine didn't bother to greet Audrey in the ward; instead, she walked straight out of the hospital.Just as she exited, she spotted Paxton waiting by the car door.Sensing her presence, Paxton immediately approached and bowed respectfully just a step away. "Miss Swann, Mr. Duncan had to return to Casier today due to urgent matters."Knowing Paxton wouldn't come without a reason, Catherine inquired, "Did you get any updates on the investigation you were assigned last night?""Yes." Paxton nodded. He was here for that very reason. He had rushed to the hospital entrance upon learning of Catherine's arrival."Get in the car," Catherine said, bending down and entering the vehicle.Paxton swiftly took the driver's seat. "Miss Swann, our people visi

Roderick's emotions spiraled out of control, and he resembled a frenzied beast. Displaying a threatening demeanor, he seemed almost eager to devour Branden on the spot. However, Paxton swiftly subdued him with a single hand before he could come forward, delivering a punch to his abdomen. Roderick crumpled in pain, curling into a ball."Who do you think you are? How dare you trouble Mr. Duncan? It was practically seeking death," thought Paxton. Feeling offended, he struck another blow to Roderick's stomach.This time, Roderick couldn't maintain his stance and collapsed to the ground, clutching his abdomen in agony.Branden approached slowly and looked down on Roderick with disdain. With lips slightly parted, he said in a cold, mocking tone, "This's what I gave you back."This simple sentence instantly changed Roderick's complexion. He dared not contemplate what this dignified man might do to his sister.Even though he had a firm and somewhat disdainful attitude just moments ago,

Zobber saw Catherine coming down and quickly walked up. "Catherine..."Catherine nodded, and the two walked to a small garden on the side. This was the usual place for students to relax on campus. Since it was class time, there weren't many people in the leisure area. Catherine led Zobber to sit here.Zobber carefully examined Catherine. She rarely saw Catherine wearing anything other than black and white. Today, she suddenly noticed Catherine in a light yellow coat, holding some documents. It gave off a bit of a college-student vibe, youthful and beautiful.Catherine turned her head to Zobber. "Why are you staring at me like that?""Catherine, you look really good like this, with a fresh and tender feeling." After saying this, Zobber looked down at her own outfit and sighed. "I feel like a delinquent girl in front of you."With purple hair, she wore skinny jeans on the lower half and a tight camisole on the upper half. It was indeed a bit out of sync in this artistic university s

Triston noticed that Audrey's expression became very unpleasant after she came out of the coffee shop.Initially, he was extremely cautious, afraid Audrey might erupt in anger and tear him apart with her fury. Now, he wished Audrey would just let it out. Audrey's silent demeanor left him anxious and unsure. No woman had ever stirred his emotions like this.Parking the car on the side, he reached out, grabbing Audrey's hand and holding it tightly in his palm. "Audrey, what's wrong? Did Andrea say something to you? You don't have to listen to her; she's just not in her right mind."Audrey weakly lifted her head and looked at Triston briefly before whispering, "I'm tired. Just take me home." After that, she turned her head away, unwilling to give Triston even a glance.Triston was getting frustrated, but Audrey remained calm, not raising her voice or causing a scene. Reluctantly, Triston had no choice but to respect Audrey's wishes and take her home. After all, if he pissed her off, t

The laboratory's large door was closed, and tension filled the air inside the lab.This incident was really significant. Not to mention the prestige of the Interstellar Championship trophy, just the data leakage from this experiment alone would be enough to shock the scientific community.The project, which Eskana had always led, had its results stolen, and what was more, the country responsible for the theft was Rexinheim, a nation with a longstanding feud with Eskana.If this news leaked, Styre University would surely be thrust into the spotlight, becoming the focus of the entire nation and possibly labeled as traitors collaborating with the enemy.Everyone present understood the severity of the situation. Though there were murmurs of discontent, no one dared to voice objections.Among all the people in the laboratory, Catherine and Amelia, the two youngest, displayed entirely different reactions. While Amelia's hands trembled with nervousness, Catherine sat calmly on the side,
