Chapter 728 Paddy's Apology
Paddy couldn’t stand hearing this. Now, everyone was praising Catherine’s talent and saying that her success had elevated theentire Styre University in the academic field. He had no idea how Catherine managed to win against the Johnville Team.Speaking of which, he thought the Johnville Team was nothing but a bunch of losers. They always boasted about themselves,but when it came to a major competition, they actually lost to a team like Catherine's. It was simply embarrassing.
Hearing some of his teammates whispering nearby, Paddy scoffed in disdain. “Catherine has a close relationship with thechairman of the competition as well.”
Hearing this, a junior student nearby couldn’t help but sigh. “I really envy Catherine. She’s so young, yet she knows such
influential people. Mr. Goodman was someone | could only see on TV and in magazines. | never thought Catherine would know
him.”“Exactly, I’m both envious and jealous! “someone chimed in.
Paddy's original intention was to make people doubt the purity of Catherine’s relationship with Richard and then suspect thatCatherine's success in the competition was achieved through cheating. But he never expected that these people not only didn’tdoubt it but also started to envy Catherine. Inadvertently, he ended up promoting Catherine’s power again.
Thinking about this, Paddy stomped in frustration. Unable to bear people’s envy towards Catherine, Paddy stood up and left theroom, unwilling to associate with such foolish people.
As Paddy stepped outside and breathed in the fresh air, he finally felt alive again. He couldn’t understand what those peoplewere thinking, actually envying and being jealous of Catherine, an opportunist. “What’s there to envy or be jealous of?” hethought. “If it hadn’t been for her somewhat good- looking face, how would she have gotten the chance to succeed?”
The more Paddy thought about it, the angrier he became. Just as he was worrying about not finding an outlet for his frustration,he received a text message on his phone.
Opening the message, Paddy was a bit puzzled. But after he read it carefully several times, a smile finally appeared on his face.He knew that the truth always belonged to a few. He was not the only one who hated Catherine, who was so ostentatious. Theperson who sent the message must also strongly dislike Catherine.
Paddy replied to the sender and then contentedly put away his phone.
After the vacation ended, Catherine returned to the hotel with the others. The next day was the second round of the competition,and Marshall messaged her to join the team in the hotel dining area for a meal and discussion before resting. Marshall had givenCatherine enough freedom, so she was willing to respect some of his decisions. She arrived at the dining area on time.
It was dinner time, and there were still a lot of people. Upon seeing Catherine, Eamon quickly raised his hand and greeted her,“Catherine, over here!”
The name “Catherine” was like a thunderclap, instantly capturing everyone’s attention. Many people looked towards theentrance, but Catherine remained composed, her expression unchanged despite their scrutiny.
Catherine walked towards them, and Eamon had already arranged the seating. As she approached, he pulled out a chair for herto sit. “Catherine, | heard you went out to sea for fun. Was it enjoyable?” Eamon inquired.
“Not bad,” Catherine replied nonchalantly. To outsiders, she seemed cold and unfeeling, but Eamon and the others knew shewas already showing them respect. If it were someone else, Catherine wouldn't even bother looking at them, let alone answeringquestions.
Catherine hadn't eaten dinner yet, so Marshall prepared a meal for her. ” Let’s eat. After we finish, we'll return to the meetingroom to discuss tomorrow’s arrangements.”
“Got it,” the group replied in unison.
“Catherine!” A sudden voice caught the attention of many. Eamon and the others turned to see Paddy approaching Catherinewith a glass in hand.
Eamon looked at Paddy with disdain. ” Paddy, you always despise Catherine. And now you're acting so affectionately. What areyou up to?”
Paddy glanced at Eamon with contempt and angrily retorted, “Get lost! I’m here to apologize to Catherine. Professor Lynchtaught me a lesson, and I've come to make amends. | genuinely apologize to you, Catherine. You have a competition tomorrow,so | won't offer you alcohol. Let this drink serve as a substitute, and | hope you can forgive me.”
Catherine casually ate the food on her plate, showing she didn’t take Paddy’s presence seriously.
Paddy stood with his drink in hand, the atmosphere becoming increasingly awkward and his expression turning darker by themoment. The surrounding atmosphere instantly froze, the air pressure dropping to an icy point. Many felt embarrassed forPaddy, while Eamon and the others thought that Paddy deserved it. If it were them being treated the same way by Paddy, theywouldn't bother with him either. They all supported Catherine’s attitude toward him. After all, it was Paddy who provoked her inthe first place.
The awkward atmosphere prompted Marshall, who usually didn’t want to get involved, to intervene. “Catherine, we're all from thesame school. Just show Professor Lynch some respect.”

Due to Marshall’s persuasion, Catherine turned her head, finished the drink in one go, and then placed the glass on the tablewithout saying a word.
Seeing this, Paddy didn’t ask for anything else. He just respectfully said, “Thank you, Professor Hartley,” before leaving.The moment Paddy turned around, his face revealed a strange smile.
