Chapter 739
Chapter 739 Interests Came FirstBefore the match began, Branden went backstage and found Catherine.
No pep talk. No worries or anxiety. He was calm, as if he was only visiting his girlfriend before class with a box full of food. Thebox contained everything that Catherine loved to eat, including bread, fruits, and small snacks.
Just a few minutes before the match began, Catherine picked some small snacks and stuffed them into her mouth, eating themslowly.
Branden accompanied her so quietly, as if someone would support her no matter what she did.
The phone buzzed. The caller ID showed it was a call from Marshall. Catherine knew he called to urge her to go back. She didnot pick it up.
She glanced at her watch. It was about time. She was ready to go to the match. Before she stood up, she asked Branden, “Areyou approaching the Hacker Alliance?”
Branden looked at her gently and nodded slightly. He had made it clear long ago that he had no secrets with Catherine. As longas she wanted to know, he would tell her everything.
He reached out to touch her hair, rubbing it gently. “Focus on your competition. I'll tell you about it when the match is over.”“Okay.” With that, Catherine turned and left the restroom.After she returned to the team, everyone officially stepped onto the stage for the final.
In fact, the team had some objections to Catherine’s participation in the finals. Since the last time, Viola Vence and anothersenior boy had an argument with Zobber in the hospital, she had been bearing a grudge against Catherine. After she returned tothe team, she complained to the team members and even added fuel to the flames to smear Catherine in various ways. They feltthat Marshall was partial to Catherine and wanted her to stand out.
Words spread quickly. But neither did Catherine or Marshall put a stop to it. Since no one was stopping her, Viola became moreunbridled. Before, Catherine’s expertise was enough to convince them. There was no one better than her in the entire team, andit was understandable for Marshall to favor her. Ability spoke for itself.
But now, there was Marlon, who everyone on the team also recognized after leading them to win with a comeback in the secondround of the match.
Although Marlon had never competed with Catherine, no one could say for sure that Catherine was better than him.
Things were different when there was a backup. After the senior fanned up the flames, the vibe in the team changed. Before thematch, someone came to Marshall and asked, “Professor Hartley, | don’t think Catherine is actively participating in thecompetition. I’m not sure if it's because she hasn't fully recovered yet. Why don’t we replace her with Marlon? Would it bebetter?”
Hearing what his team member said before the match, Marshall's heart sank instantly. He realized that the team spirit he was soproud of was gone.
Finally, someone spoke up, and the others joined him and gave the same advice. Viola stepped up when others hadforeshadowed. She pointed at Catherine and said, “Professor Hartley, we think it would be better if you put Marlon up for thegame, for the glory and those who worked hard. Don’t you want us to win?”
The words “win” made people lose their heads. Under such an atmosphere, many people began to waver.
Marshall pursed his lip and remained silent. Eamon, standing aside, was quite mad. He wanted to step up for Catherine but gotheld back by others.
Catherine stood there silently with a sneer on her face. She looked aloof and distant. In the face of interests, relations wereinsignificant.
Finally, Amelia could not bear to watch anymore. She was responsible for backing up the team. She stepped out and faced Viola,pointing at her and shouting in her face. “Why don’t we just put you up for the game? Why don’t you win the trophy for us? Wewill all applaud you.”
Viola knew Amelia and Catherine were close. She sneered. “Everybody knows you are Catherine’s henchman.”Saying that to Amelia’s face was insulting. Many people looked stunned when hearing this.
Amelia paused out of shock. Then she sneered. She finally figured out that interests came first.
Since they did not care about the fig leaf, she might as well make it clear. She was not qualified to be in the lab anyway. If theywanted to kick her out, that was fair. But she had to spit out what was on her mind. She could not bear it anymore.
So, Amelia grabbed Catherine’s hand. Her eyes swept over everyone with disdain and pride. Some people avoided eye contactwith her because of a guilty conscience.
Then, Amelia pointed at the crowdand cursed, “Look at you, topstudents of the world. You are nobetter than parasites. Youre justebunch Qileganes bau g off others!The'taboratory once we were soproud of is now rotting.” Many peoplewere dissatisfied with being pointedat and scolded by Amelia. In theireyes, Amelia got into the lab throughthe back door. So, she should bequiet and obedient. How did she darecurse everyone? The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
But Amelia did not care about what they thought of her. She fixed her eyes on Viola and continued, “You are right about onething. I’m Catherine's henchman because she deserves it. Are you as capable as her?”
Amelia interrupted her while Violatried to answer her question. “Shut upif you are not.

Everyone was speechless after hearing what Amelia said. They lowered their heads and remained silent. They only wanted towin the championship and make a name for themselves, but they never thought that it would be impossible for them to achievethis championship on their own.
Marshall, who had been silent for a long time, stood up. At this moment, he seemed to be a few years older.
He stood before everyone, his face turning blue, his expression somewhat listless, and he even felt a slight tremble whenspeaking. “I’m sorry to tell everyone that | was wrong. My education was a failure.”novelbin
