Chapter 561 The Esports Club

Catherine calmly rejected Marshall’s proposal without any hesitation or indication of interest. She just didn’t feel like going. She was tired from getting up early in the morning.

‘School’s over now. Why am I going to the lab?’ she thought.

Marshall felt slightly down since he didn’t expect Catherine to reject him. He could tell that Catherine was not someone who could be forced to do something.

Although he really wanted to test Catherine’s ability urgently, he didn’t dare to rush it.

“That’s cool. Just drop by whenever you have time. My lab’s doors are always wide open for you!”

Catherine politely replied, “Thanks a lot, Professor Hartley!”

As soon as the words were spoken, Catherine didn’t waste any time and left directly.

Amelia was following behind, completely absent-minded, and almost bumped into Catherine.

Catherine stopped in her tracks and looked at Amelia. With a casual tone, she asked, “Can you please pay a bit more attention while walking?”

The cold tone snapped Amelia back to reality.

She looked up with excited and admiring eyes at Catherine.

“Oh my god! Super Catherine, you actually turned down Professor Hartley’s invitation!”

After finishing speaking, she couldn’t believe what she had just personally experienced. Instinctively, she tightly covered her mouth.

Catherine watched her exaggerated movements. Amelia’s eyes were wide open like a little hamster, and she was actually kind of cute.

“Can you stop being foolish? Didn’t I say to go back to the dormitory? So why let these things interrupt us?”

‘Just because she wanted to go back to her dorm and rest early. That’s the only reason.

‘Catherine is incredibly stylish and exudes an overwhelming aura of authority. It’s truly impressive!

‘Why is an opportunity that others can’t even beg for so insignificant for her?’ thought Amelia.

It suddenly became quite lively after they came out of the botanical garden.

As they were still in the welcoming period, many clubs took advantage of the free time to onboard freshers.

Little stalls were set up with desks lining both sides of the road, and senior students were constantly trying to persuade people to join them.

When Catherine and Amelia passed by, they immediately caught many people’s attention.

Although Catherine wore a hat, her tall and straight figure, graceful physique, and excellent temperament were still the main attention-grabbers.

Amelia wasn’t bad-looking either. She was a fair and clean little girl with pretty big eyes, about the same height as Catherine, the type that stood out in a crowd.

If it weren’t for the powerful aura emanating from Catherine, people would have probably already started fighting for her along the way.

Amelia was attracted by a poster halfway through and stopped in her tracks. At the same time, she called out to Catherine.

“Hey, Super Catherine, come here quick!”

Catherine thought something big had happened, but when she looked back, she realized Amelia was drooling over the poster with a lovesick expression.

Amelia couldn’t take her eyes off the character on the poster, excitedly sharing her happiness with Catherine.

“Super Catherine, check it out. It’s Hero, my idol, like a big shot in the gaming world!”

Catherine was totally not surprised by Amelia’s idol revelations.

‘This girl is a top-level flirt.

‘Her idol’s expiration date is probably calculated by months. Maybe she even forgot who her idol was three months ago,’ said Catherine inwardly.

Seeing that a girl finally showed up and actually stopped by their booth, the recruitment senior students of the esports club hurriedly went up to her.

The esports club had plenty of new members, but they were seriously lacking in female freshmen.

It was even rare to have two girls, and they were so beautiful and elegant. Such promising talents must not be missed.

“Hey girls, you interested in joining our esports club? Besides having top-level senior players who can help you rank up, the best part is that our club spokesperson is Hero! There’s even a chance for you to meet Hero in person!”

That senior student was pushing it really hard. She practically wanted to sign up for them herself.

Catherine couldn’t care less, but Amelia was enthusiastically discussing with the senior.

Seeing that Amelia was so engrossed in the conversation, Catherine was about to leave first, but then Amelia stopped her right there.

Amelia was looking at her with a hopeful expression. “Catherine, aren’t you also playing this game? Let’s join the esports club together. It would be great to have someone to play with!”

Catherine had zero interest written all over her face. She was not interested in joining any club.

“Not interested!”

However, Amelia had already been brainwashed. Recently, she had been deeply infatuated with Hero, and just now, the senior student tempted her with the promise of seeing Hero next time. It was really a blow to her heart.

There was no need for this senior student to take action as Amelia had already used all her means to persuade Catherine.

“Super Catherine, just join in. The senior student just mentioned earlier that the esports club doesn’t have many errands going on. It’s really easy. I know you don’t like getting involved in too much trouble. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered inviting you to any other clubs.

“Super Catherine, being a college student without joining a club is not complete. Come on!”

Catherine couldn’t dissuade Amelia, mainly because Amelia was too good at acting cute.

She just tossed the registration form that someone shoved into her hands to Amelia and said, “You fill it out!”

Amelia eagerly reached out and grabbed it, practically jumping with excitement.

“Super Catherine, I always knew you were the best!”

So Catherine was forced to join the esports club and became a new member. The senior student was holding two registration forms, totally thrilled.

“Hey, you two, remember to attend the orientation meeting tomorrow night at 8 PM! Don’t be late, okay?”

Amelia nodded and contentedly pulled Catherine away.

Throughout the journey, she was yakking away with Catherine, talking about how handsome her idol was.

Catherine had absolutely no reaction, not even a word in response.

Amelia secretly thought that Catherine was not just a bit cold but also didn’t understand what was a hot guy.

‘Catherine doesn’t really care about the well-educated professor.

‘Even a handsome guy doesn’t catch her attention. What exactly is she thinking?’ said Amelia inwardly.

The two of them walked to the dormitory building, getting ready to go upstairs. Amelia suddenly spotted a handsome figure ahead, which instantly caught her attention.

She stared at it carefully momentarily, and her emotions were instantly stirred up. She excitedly grabbed Catherine’s sleeve and shook it continuously.

“Catherine, look! There’s a super handsome guy!”

Catherine looked nonchalant but couldn’t resist the enthusiasm of Amelia, so she turned her head to look.

At the moment she caught sight of the person, Catherine’s expression changed.

“Catherine, can you believe that hottie is walking toward us? What does he mean? Oh my god, my heart can’t handle this. He’s soooo hot!”

Amelia was so excited that she started stomping her feet unconsciously.

The tall man walked straight up to the two of them and paused for a moment.

But his gaze wasn’t on Amelia but was tightly fixated on Catherine standing beside Amelia. His gaze was beyond gentle.

“Kathy, why did you come back so late? Didn’t you finish class at forty?”

Chapter 562 Surprise Everyone

Branden knew Catherine’s class schedule even better than Catherine herself. He knew she only had one morning class at Styre University that day, so he rushed over to see her once he finished his work.

Standing aside, Amelia initially couldn’t understand why such a handsome guy would approach them. It turned out he was seeking after Super Catherine.

‘He even called Super Catherine Kathy, such an intimate nickname,’ said Amelia inwardly.

She was staring at them without blinking, trying to figure out something.

The gaze by Catherine’s side was so passionate. Catherine wasn’t blind, so of course, she could sense it.

She slightly turned her body, looked up at Branden, and then turned her gaze to the side at Amelia. She calmly introduced, “My boyfriend, Branden Duncan!”

Branden knew that Amelia was Catherine’s roommate, so he politely nodded at her.

“Hello!”

Amelia’s face turned red instantly when she was greeted by such a handsome guy.

‘Turns out this handsome guy is Catherine’s boyfriend,’ she thought.

Just a moment ago, she thought to herself that Catherine couldn’t appreciate the handsome guy for not being excited when seeing Hero. Now, she realized how wrong she was.

‘Who says she couldn’t appreciate handsome guys? She simply doesn’t care about Hero’s looks, that’s all.

‘If I had a handsome boyfriend like Branden Duncan, I wouldn’t even bother looking at other men,’ Amelia thought.

Enough daydreaming, Amelia decided to back off smartly.

“I gotta go rest upstairs. You guys keep chatting!”

Branden glanced at the back of Amelia as she ran off and chuckled softly, saying, “Your roommate is quite interesting!”

Catherine nodded in agreement. “Her personality is pretty good, very cheerful!”

Branden thought that Catherine just needed someone with a lively personality by her side.

Catherine was such a cold person.

Genius was meant to be lonely. She had long surpassed the heights that others could never reach in their entire lives.

This also destined her to an extraordinary life. So when Catherine chose to go to college, Branden did not oppose her decision and also felt that Catherine should experience the typical journey that most people take at her age.

“Feeling hungry?” His gentle voice surrounded Catherine’s ears.

Catherine shook her head and said, ” Nah, I’m not hungry. On our way back just now with Amelia, we stumbled upon a club recruitment event, and she convinced me to sign up for the esports club. Took us a bit of time.”

This could be considered an active response to the question posed by Branden earlier.

Branden gently took her hand and placed it beside him. “You could join the esports club since you play games often,” he said.

“Since you’re not hungry, how about taking a rest first and going out to eat later?”

The last half sentence was a question. Catherine heard it, but she didn’t really have any thoughts about going out to eat.

“Forget it. How about you cook?”

Branden was totally okay with cooking himself. Since Catherine wanted to eat his cooking, he would get in the kitchen.

“Okay.”

Around 7 o’clock in the evening, Catherine was bored and playing games on her phone when Amelia suddenly ran over excitedly.

“Super Catherine, when are we going to hit the road?”

Catherine slightly raised her gaze, looking at Amelia with a puzzled expression in her eyes.

“Super Catherine, you didn’t forget about tonight’s esports club orientation meeting, did you? The senior told us we must not miss it!” exclaimed Amelia as she raised her voice.

The esports club only managed to recruit two female freshmen as new members.

The senior was so afraid that the new members would run away. After adding Amelia’s WhatsApp, she kept reminding and urging them to come tonight and not be late.

Actually, Catherine totally forgot it.

Of course, even the registration form was filled out by Amelia for her. She didn’t care about this at all. She didn’t even hear clearly what the senior student instructed them to do.

But it was not too late now. They could still go there in time.

“Are we going now?”

Seeing Catherine didn’t back out, Amelia let out a sigh of relief. She was actually worried that Catherine would say no and quit the esports club.

If that were the case, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to the senior at all.

“Come on. Let’s leave now!” replied Catherine.

Catherine turned off the game, took her hat, and pressed it onto her head, covering up a large part of her delicate eyebrows and eyes.

It was a bit of a distance from the dorm to the esports club, and by the time the two arrived, it was already past eight.

As soon as she walked in, Amelia immediately apologized.

“Sorry, guys. We’re late!”

The sudden and sweet female voice instantly caught the attention of all the guys inside.

It had been a long time since the members of the esports club saw any female members. Now, not only had girls finally shown up, but there were two of them.

The girl without a hat looked so cute and soft.

As for the one wearing the hat, although her face was not visible, her figure and demeanor were truly exceptional.

Upon their arrival, the senior student who had recruited them felt relieved and greeted them warmly.

Looking at the two with a big smile, she said, “It’s okay. Our esports club is not that uptight. As long as you can make it, come on in, two lovely freshmen!”

After she pulled the two in, the welcoming ceremony of the esports club kicked off.

Speaking of the welcome ceremony, it was essentially an opportunity for everyone to introduce themselves and share their gaming rankings, facilitating making friends through showcasing their strengths.

Everyone had finished introducing themselves, leaving only Catherine. Seeing that Catherine did not react, Amelia couldn’t help but bump into her.

Catherine finally realized what was going on and slowly stood up. Her voice was devoid of warmth. ” Catherine Swann, playing The Storm, platinum level.

It was a simple self-introduction, similar to the style shown by Catherine, austere and cold.

After finishing speaking, Catherine was about to sit down.

The rest of the people curiously sized up to Catherine, and nobody was surprised by her gaming expertise.

Girls are generally not as good as guys when it comes to playing games. Being in the platinum level is pretty normal for girls.

In The Storm, platinum level is the second to last rank, which is not really considered a great achievement.

‘But Catherine has such a cold personality,’ they thought.

The senior student awkwardly looked at Catherine, unsure why she always became cautious when facing Catherine.

Subconsciously, she was convinced by Catherine’s powerful aura.

“Catherine, now you’re also part of our esports club. You always wear that cap, and we can’t see your face clearly. How about taking off the cap and showing us your face?

“In the future, we’ll all be part of the same club. Just in case you have something going on, we can cover for you!”

It was just a habit for Catherine to wear a hat. She didn’t mean to target anyone in particular.

So, after the senior student made this request, Catherine nodded and took off the hat resting on her head. The moment the hat was taken off, her beautiful, delicate face instantly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

When everyone saw Catherine’s appearance, they couldn’t help but stare with wide eyes. Some even forgot to breathe.

‘Wow, what a beautiful face and such a pretty girl,’ said they inwardly.

At that moment, they finally understood why Catherine chose to wear a hat.

‘Going out with such a gorgeous face, she must have encountered a lot of. trouble.

‘After all, who could resist such a face?’ they thought.

Chapter 563 E-sports Competition

The scene was silent for at least a minute as if even the air froze instantly.

The several boys sitting directly before Catherine had almost identical expressions and movements. Their eyes and mouths were wide open as they stared straight in Catherine’s direction.

The one who came back to the senses first was Amelia. After all, she had been with Catherine for a while and was already somewhat familiar with Catherine’s striking looks. She wasn’t that surprised.

However, Amelia was still excited to see so many people marveling at Catherine’s appearance.

She lowered her voice and approached Catherine. She said, “Super Catherine, your appearance is truly stunning and amazing!”

Catherine glanced at her lightly. She coughed to clear her throat. Her sudden cough pulled back the drifting thoughts of those around her.

The boys lowered their heads one after another. They dared not to look directly at Catherine again. The female senior smiled awkwardly, but inwardly, she was thrilled.

She did not expect that she would accidentally find such two beautiful schoolgirls for the club. With the addition of these two schoolgirls, their club would have no worries about flourishing.

The female senior said to Catherine and Amelia, “Please take a seat. Our club is different from other clubs. The biggest characteristic of our club is that we don’t follow the rules. I’ll introduce you to the members of the club so that you can get to know each other.

“This is the president of our club.”

The boy mentioned had a simple and honest appearance. The skin on his face was smooth and clean. He wore a pair of black framed glasses, which made him look like a good student.

He took the initiative to stand up and greet Catherine and Amelia, “Hello, guys. My name is Franco Braun. I’m a junior in the engineering department.”

Catherine followed Amelia and responded to Franco, “Hi, Mr. Braun!”

The female senior mysteriously whispered to Catherine and Amelia, ” I’ll tell you a secret. Franco and Hero are in the same dormitory. Hero can definitely be considered a member of our club.”

Catherine had no interest in Hero at all. She looked very calm.

Amelia was different. She was so excited that she was about to jump up.

Looking at Amelia’s excited reaction, Franco felt a little proud inside. Hero was really a living sign for their club!

He looked at Catherine again. Seeing that Catherine did not show any interest in Hero, he could not help but be a little curious.

“Catherine, don’t you like Hero?”

Catherine did not expect Franco to ask her about it like this suddenly. She turned her head to him and replied, ” Yes!”

Her cold tone made Franco a little embarrassed.

He thought in his heart, ‘Her nature is so cold.’

Amelia sensed something was wrong with the two of them, so she tried to smooth things over quickly. “Mr. Braun, it’s not that Catherine doesn’t like Hero. That’s just her personality. She’s not interested in anything.

“She is completely focused on her studies, and I forced her to join the club. I just want her to interact with everyone more so that she can have a more outgoing personality!”

Amelia’s explanation instantly dissolved the awkwardness. Franco smiled and said, “It seems that Catherine should be a top student with excellent grades!”

Catherine did not respond.

Amelia rushed to answer, “Of course. Catherine is my idol when it comes to studies. She’s the top science student in Casier. She’s very good at her studies!

In the face of Amelia’s praise, Catherine’s expression remained indifferent. She still stood in her original position.

She did not seem arrogant or irritable but exuded a domineering aura.

At the Styre University, there were many top students. Everyone there was accustomed to the students with excellent studies and isolated personalities.

After all, at Styre University, a top school, students who focused on learning and neglected other things were too common.

“I see.”

When they were chatting, a member of the club suddenly shouted out, “Holy shit!”

The sudden sound instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Franco looked toward the club member who had yelled out. “Berg, what happened? Why are you shouting?”

Berg was the person’s nickname, and everyone in the club called him that.

“Mr. Braun, those guys from the University of Penny are initiating a challenge to us inside the public channel.”

Hearing Berg’s explanation, a member

shouted disdainfully, “So what? Berg, take it easy. It’s just such a small matter. It’s not worth shouting like that! Are we still afraid of the Penny Team?”

“Cut the crap. Let’s turn on the game, get online and fuck them off!”

Berg was so anxious that he patted his legs to explain, “It’s not like that. Their team has recently recruited new players, too. They recruited the striker of the League Team, and their morale has risen so much that they said they’re going to make us lose seven times in a row tonight!”

“The striker of the League Team? You mean Stanley?” Franco frowned at Berg.

Berg nodded. “That’s right. It’s him. Mr. Braun, why don’t we ask Hero to join us? With this kind of professional player like him joining them, we still need a good player to secure a win!”

Stanley was the League Team’s newly recruited striker. His playing style was particularly aggressive. He became famous not long after joining the team.

Although all of them were good at the game, they were only limited to playing against ordinary players. There was still a big gap between them and professional players.

Facing Berg’s proposal, Franco shook his head. “Hero is in closed training these days.”

Hearing this, Berg was a bit desperate.

“What are we going to do then? Wait to lose?”

Franco tried his best to act calm in order not to let his teammates suffer from low morale.

“Don’t be so demoralized. Who says we’re bound to lose? They said they would make us lose seven times in a row? The Penny Team is too arrogant.

“Let’s get online. Let’s go frustrate the Penny Team!”

They met such an intense scene on their first day joining the esports club. Amelia was a bit nervous and pulled on Catherine’s sleeve secretly.

“Super Catherine, is this going to be okay?”

Catherine glanced at her with a faint and cold look. She looked incomparably calm.

“Let’s take a look first.”

There were only four positions in the game team.

To facilitate better viewing for the rest of the club members, Franco projected his phone onto the large screen.

As soon as the players of the esports club got online, the Penny Team sent out an invitation to apply for a rivalry match.

They chose the entertainment mode, team killing!

The rules were simple. The team members could resurrect an unlimited number of times, and whichever team’s one member got 16 kills first, the team would be considered the winner.

Team scores would not be accumulated. Only individual scores were considered.

Everyone was familiar with this mode. Franco and his team also used this mode before, so they were particularly familiar with this map board.

As the team leader, after entering the. game, Franco started deploying.

“Berg, you three cover me. This mode is for combat. My ability to shoot is still good, so I’ll be the main player!”

Berg and the others naturally had no problem with that. After all, among the four of them, it was indeed Franco who was the best in the game.

While they were still deploying, the Penny Team had already started clamoring arrogantly.

“Franco, stop struggling. Just admit defeat voluntarily.”

The opponent’s sarcastic tone sounded very unpleasant, making them very uncomfortable.

Originally, playing the game was to have fun, but to the Penny Team, it became a symbol to show off their strength.

Although the Penny Team said harsh words, the esports club refused to admit being inferior to them.

“Let’s use our strength to tell us who will win. Penny Team, be careful. Don’t get a real walloping later!”

Chapter 564 Super Catherine Joined Them

Facing the shouts from the Styre Team, the Penny Team flaunted their new player proudly.

“Franco, you want us to lose? I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult. By the way, I forgot to tell you guys. The striker on our side today is Stanley. Since you guys are so confident, how about we make a bet?!”

Franco asked in a cold voice, “Bet on what?”

The Penny Team shouted arrogantly, Whoever loses will post on the other party’s Bulletin Board System admitting defeat and saying they are inferior to the other party.

“How about that? Do you guys dare to bet?”

They pushed the Styre Team so hard that Franco had to force himself to agree.

“Alright, we’ll make this bet!”

The emotions of the members of the Styre Team were aroused. After all, no one wanted to be a coward, nor did they want to lose to such people!

The enthusiasm of the entire club members was high, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Catherine sat on the side, quietly watching the screen. At first, all four team members chose favorable terrain to conceal themselves. No one wanted to be the first to be killed.

With the end of the broadcast prompt, the battle officially began. The first shot was taken with great caution by everyone.

Bang, bang, bang…

With a burst of intense gunfire, the broadcast soon broadcasted the latest news.

“Penny Team takes the first point!”

The Penny Team leader, who was hiding in the dark, met Berg and killed him to win the first blood. Seeing that Berg was a bit frustrated, Franco hastened to comfort him.

“Don’t be anxious. It’s only the first blood. We’ll catch up soon. Everyone, go for it!”

Watching the anxious war between the two sides, Amelia’s heart was in her throat.

She always wanted to grab something when she was nervous. Not daring to yank Catherine’s hand directly, she tugged at Catherine’s clothes tightly.

“Super Catherine, do you think we can win?”

At that moment, the game was 10-3.

The Penny Team had successfully taken 10 points, and the Styre Team had only gotten 3 points. Catherine gave Amelia an indifferent answer. “We’ll definitely lose!”

There was a significant difference in strength between the two teams. The striker of the Penny Team was really strong, and he scored 7 points alone in the first half.

How could the Styre Team match such strength?

Upon hearing Catherine’s comments, the worry on Amelia’s face increased a bit.

Catherine’s voice was not loud, but quite a few people around her heard it.

Everyone’s faces looked gloomy. Although the situation was currently unfavorable for the Styre Team, Catherine’s statement was too straightforward.

Given that Catherine was a girl, the others were not planning to argue with her. But the way they looked at her had changed.

The next moment, the bell rang for the end of the match, and the Styre Team lost this round.

Best of three, the Styre Team lost in the first round.

Moreover, they were crushed and lost the match completely.

Their morale instantly lowered, and all the members of the club looked particularly frustrated.

There were still two more rounds to go. Seeing that the Styre Team was playing so hard and still could not match the Penny Team, the rest of the people in the club were not feeling good in their hearts.

Amelia asked Catherine in a low voice, ” Super Catherine, what should we do? I don’t think there’s much chance of winning!”

Catherine gave her a cold glance. “It’s not that there’s not much chance of winning. It’s that there is no chance of winning at all!”

Catherine’s words instantly sparked dissatisfaction among some boys present.

Someone glared at Catherine angrily and shouted, “What do you mean? Are you only happy when we lose?”

“You should know what level you are. You’re just a play at the platinum level. What qualifications do you have to make comments on the game between players at the ace level? You know nothing!”

“That’s right. Girls are lacking knowledge and experience!”

“If you have the ability, come and compete with us!”

Facing the accusations from the crowd, Catherine was not angry, but Amelia suddenly became furious.

“Don’t speak so harshly. We are also concerned about our club. Are we wrong?”

“You’re concerned? I think you two are just trying to demoralize us. If you have the ability, don’t just talk about it. Let’s sit down and compete!” a boy said arrogantly.

Catherine glanced at the boy who was speaking. With a simple glance, Catherine made the boy shut his mouth immediately.

“You’re right. Let’s speak with our strength!”

After saying that, Catherine walked over to Berg.

Berg was the striker of the team, and the opponent’s striker was professional Stanley. Berg was not a match for Stanley at all. If they kept Berg in this position, it would only make their team weaker.

Watching Catherine suddenly appear, Berg looked up at her in confusion.

“What do you want?”

Catherine said two words with a cold face and a faint tone, “Stand up!”

Berg froze for a moment and stood up involuntarily. He did not even realize his movements. After Berg stood up, Catherine stepped forward and sat down.

Franco looked at Catherine in disbelief. When Catherine introduced herself just now, she said she was only at the platinum level in the game.

Berg was at least a player at the ace level, and they had been cooperating for so long and had already had a tacit understanding.

So Franco felt that no matter what, it would always be better for Berg to play than for Catherine to play.

In order not to hurt Catherine, Franco said politely, “Catherine, I think…”

Seeing his hesitant appearance, Catherine felt a bit impatient. She said coldly, “Cut the crap. If the game is lost, I will be responsible. Let’s start!”

Her domineering attitude left Franco unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

It so happened that the second round was about to start.

The Penny Team was yelling arrogantly again, so in a state of impatience, Franco clicked start directly.

As soon as they entered the game, the Penny Team saw that the Styre Team had changed one player, and it was a female player. They began to mock arrogantly again.

“Haha, Franco. You can’t beat us, but you arranged a female player… I thought you were going to arrange someone professional. And I was planning to compete with you guys wholeheartedly, but you actually arranged a girl!

“And she’s at platinum level. Are you trying to humiliate us? Or is it a direct surrender?”

The players of the Styre Team, except for Catherine, all looked gloomy. Penny Team was too arrogant. But they were very strong now. The Styre Team could not beat them and could only be laughed at by them.

Some even blamed all this on Catherine, believing that they would not have been ridiculed so hard if it were not for Catherine’s appearance.

Facing various doubts, Catherine remained calm all the time, without even changing the look in her eyes.

Amelia, standing by, could not help but applaud for Catherine in her heart.

She thought to herself, ‘Super Catherine, you’re really powerful!’

The battle started immediately.

Less than three seconds into the game, the first scoring point came out after a burst of intense gunfire.

Everyone was staring at the screen.

They had hardly had time to see clearly before someone was killed.

Some wondered inwardly, ‘The person who fired was so amazing! What the hell is going on? Who was the first person to be killed?’

The next moment, the broadcast prompt on the big screen made everyone dumbfounded.

No one expected that the first person to be shot would actually be him!

Chapter 565 Catherine’s Playstyle

“The Red Team takes the lead with 1 point as the Blue Team’s Stanley gets eliminated by the Red Team’s player!”

As the announcer’s voice echoed, the crowd was taken aback. No one had expected that Catherine, the newcomer, would achieve the first victory.

Even more astonishing was that Catherine not only claimed the first win and the initial score but also ousted Stanley.

He was the strongest professional player on the opponent’s team.

The audience was momentarily stunned, but Amelia couldn’t contain her excitement and was on the verge of jumping up.

She knew that Catherine would surely deliver. On the Penny Team side, they quickly reacted after a brief moment of bewilderment.

The captain from the Penny Team over on the public channel taunted disdainfully, “Hey, even a blind pig can find an acorn once in a while. Consider this your one lucky shot!”

Not just the Penny Team, but even the Styre Team felt that Catherine was just lucky.

After all, when a platinum-level player defeated a professional-level superstar, besides sheer luck, what other explanation could there be?

In the face of the Penny Team’s arrogance, Catherine remained indifferent. She smiled with her delicate eyebrows raised subtly.

Her rosy lips parted slightly as she softly said to the microphone, “Blind pig? That’s a fitting description for Stanley.”

As the captain of the Penny Team heard Catherine’s words, his expression noticeably darkened. He hadn’t expected to get caught up in this banter.

Carefully tilting his head, he glanced toward a young man with a refined face and a cool temperament standing nearby.

Sensing the sidelong gaze, the young man turned coldly and locked eyes with him.

Then Stanley, the young man, said, Let’s give it our best!”

Even though he was the captain of the Penny Team, he couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of fear toward Stanley, who was a newcomer.

Upon hearing Stanley’s words, he didn’t dare say much and simply nodded in compliance.

“Don’t worry. This time, we won’t hold back. If we don’t grind Styre Team into the ground, I’ll write my name backward!”

After hearing the spirited words of his teammates, Stanley remained focused and vigilant. He was confident that the previous victory of the opponent was not mere luck.

Every second counted in the professional gaming arena, and luck was not a factor.

Looking at the opponent’s season stats, he couldn’t discern any exceptional qualities, and their ranking seemed rather low. There was a possibility that the opponent was using a new account and hid her true identity.

Regardless, Stanley couldn’t afford to underestimate the situation. He adjusted his stance and prepared for the decisive battle.

Due to Catherine’s retort, the Penny Team took a hit, while the morale on the Styre Team’s side received an instant boost.

The Styre Team finally vented their frustration. They began to relax a bit. Franco raised his arms and shouted to rally the team.

He exclaimed, “Guys, charge!”

They continued with their original strategy, with everyone supporting Franco to help him score.

However, Stanley on the opposing team proved to be too formidable. He took down two of Franco’s team members in quick succession.

Catherine had initially intended to play a supporting role to help the team. However, after seeing what happened, she realized that Franco was not up to the task and was merely giving the opponents an advantage.

Catherine completely abandoned Franco and decided to step in.

Just moments ago, the Penny Team had been brimming with confidence and filled with arrogance, but now they were stunned.

The score had gone from 7-2 to a tie in the blink of an eye.

Catherine was like a ruthless butcher, effortlessly eliminating opponent after opponent with her bladed weapons.

In less than a minute, she scored about seven points alone and surpassed the Penny Team.

Even the Styre Team was left in disbelief, let alone the Penny Team.

As they saw Catherine’s skills, they were all stunned.

No one had expected Catherine’s skills. to be this exceptional, her gameplay this brutal.

It didn’t feel like a competition. It felt like a massacre.

Catherine’s three teammates on her team stood there in a daze. She glanced at Franco and scolded coldly, “Are you still standing there?”

Her cold voice immediately snapped Franco back to his senses.

He had to change the original strategy and adapt to Catherine’s playstyle.

He urgently called out to his other two teammates, “Let’s go! Protect Catherine.”

The other two teammates, who had previously looked down on Catherine, now understood her true strength and didn’t dare to object.

They responded in unison, “Okay!”

After seeing that they took action, Catherine directed their movements.

After all, it was a team game. Even Catherine’s strength wouldn’t be enough to secure a victory if her teammates kept feeding kills.

At this moment, Catherine exuded the aura of an invincible, powerful, and dominant general. Amelia, who was high-spirited, kept her eyes fixed on the screen without blinking.

“Super Catherine, go for it! Take down the Penny Team! Charge!”

Stanley seemed to have figured out Catherine’s playstyle. He avoided her line of sight and targeted other Styre Team members to secure points.

Suddenly, a thud could be heard.

Things took an unexpected turn when a gunshot rang out, and Franco fell to the ground.

Stanley saw an opportunity and believed his strategy was successful.

This was a game where the team with more points won, so if he couldn’t defeat Catherine, he could at least score against other opponents.

Just as Stanley was proud of his strategy and expected to achieve victory soon, the broadcast announced the game’s end.

“The game is over. The Red Team’s player, Cassie, is the first to achieve victory. Congratulations to the Red Team!”

Stanley was dumbfounded. He thought inwardly, “Weren’t there three more points to reach the end of the game just a moment ago?

“How could this happen?”

Stanley was unwilling to accept the result. He reviewed the game’s final moments.

When he saw Catherine skillfully take down three opponents with precise headshots in a matter of seconds, he was astonished.

He was shocked by Catherine’s speed, accuracy, and recoil control.

Even professional players couldn’t execute such a beautiful performance without cheating.

Moreover, Catherine was a girl, inherently less sensitive than male players.

Before Stanley could voice his doubts, the other members of the Penny Team couldn’t help but mutter, “Captain, isn’t the Styre Team using cheats?”

The Penny Team’s captain silently shook his head. Although he also found it unbelievable, cheating was out of the question.

“No. Setting aside Franco’s character, we have monitoring and replays for every match, as well as anti-cheat devices. Styre University can’t afford to have anyone cheating. They wouldn’t dare.”

Losing a game was one thing, but getting caught cheating would be the most embarrassing outcome.

Both Styre University and the University of Penny prided themselves on their skill and wouldn’t resort to such deceitful tactics.

“Don’t discuss this. Guys, pull yourselves together. It’s only 1-1. We haven’t lost yet!”

The Styre Team’s morale skyrocketed with this victory, and cheers filled the air.

The way people looked at Catherine had completely changed. Those who had previously underestimated Catherine now had a change of heart. They echoed Amelia and called out to Catherine in unison.

They shouted, “Super Catherine, how should we play next? You lead, and we’ll follow your commands!”

Chapter 566 An Exceptionally Powerful Gamer

In the third round, despite the Penny Team showing great determination, they were still crushed by Catherine’s dominant performance, resulting in an overwhelming defeat.

Even with an excellent player like Stanley, there was no chance of salvation. As the battle concluded, the Styre Team erupted into thunderous cheers.

“We won! We actually won!”

Amid the jubilation, one could hear the astonishment in their voices at this unexpected outcome.

What they had assumed was a guaranteed loss had been miraculously turned around by Catherine singlehandedly.

In the third round, Catherine was like a butcher who relentlessly eliminated opponents.

No matter the tactics used by the opponents, they couldn’t withstand her marksmanship.

After the game ended, the Penny Team fell into silence.

At the same time, the Styre Team began to boast. Berg and the others excitedly taunted the Penny Team over the voice chat and demanded they uphold their promise.

Initially, the Penny Team had been very arrogant, but now they found themselves in a humiliating situation.

Nevertheless, the Penny Team had to keep their word, for breaking a promise was more shameful than losing the match.

Once the Penny Team responded, Berg and the others immediately surrounded Catherine. They looked at Catherine with admiration and excitement. No one had expected Catherine to be this formidable.

As the captain, Franco, spoke first, Miss Swann, we never expected your combat skills to be this powerful. We were truly disrespectful earlier, doubting you like that.

“It’s mainly because you used a platinum-level account to play with us. Did you intentionally use a new account?”

Catherine didn’t deny it. Many people already knew about her main account.

Whenever she logged in, someone would invite her to play. She didn’t want to play games with her friends at the moment, so she created a new account.

She had only played a few games on that account and had just reached the platinum level. Franco noticed that Catherine had a cold and reticent personality.

The three rounds of the match had taken over an hour.

Catherine glanced at her phone and then gracefully stood up. Then she looked over at Amelia.

“Coming with me?”

Amelia was momentarily taken aback. Then she immediately nodded and replied, “Yes! Super Catherine, let’s go together!”

Catherine politely said goodbye to the group and walked gracefully out of the classroom. Amelia closely followed her.

It was only after the two had completely left that the others realized what had happened.

Staring at Catherine’s retreating figure, Berg couldn’t help but mutter, “What a powerful aura! She’s so dominant.”

Franco nodded in agreement and said, ” She can afford to be dominant. Who among us can match her?”

Even professional player Stanley was utterly defeated by Catherine, making him look like a beginner. How could ordinary gamers like them ever hope to compete with her?

Seeing that it was getting late, Franco informed everyone that they should leave.

After that, he headed back to the dormitory.

Once in the dormitory, he ran into Hero, who suddenly returned. He looked at Hero in surprise.

“Hero, weren’t you in closed training? Why are you back?”

Hero glanced at Franco and replied coldly, “I was feeling a bit agitated. I came back to clear my mind.”

A persistent figure had been in his mind, making it impossible for him to. concentrate during training.

Seeing Hero’s downcast state, Franco thought about chatting with him to provide some encouragement.

“Hero, let me tell you. Today, our club recruited two new female members. One of them is an exceptionally powerful gamer!”

After hearing what Franco said, Hero appeared somewhat disdainful.

He didn’t see how a girl could be outstanding at gaming.

He thought Franco was just being chivalrous.

However, what Franco said next took him by surprise.

Chapter 567 A Familiar Scene

Franco could tell from Hero’s expression that Hero didn’t believe a word he was saying. To prove he wasn’t exaggerating, Franco recounted today’s events to Hero.

Franco said, “You have no idea, Hero. The Penny Team got all cocky when they added this professional player called Stanley. If I didn’t know you had your phone off during your training, I’d have asked you for backup.

“Let me tell you. Our new classmate, Miss Swann, is seriously amazing. Don’t be fooled by her being a girl. Her playstyle is incredibly aggressive and powerful. She wiped the floor with Stanley, making that professional player look like a noob!”

Hearing what Franco said, Hero frowned with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

“Is she really that powerful?”

Franco took out his phone and opened the game replay to prove his point.

“Here. Take a look at her performance!”

Unexpectedly, after watching the game replay, Hero snatched Franco’s phone.

He noticed that the skill of the female player in the battle was indeed astonishing.

With pinpoint accuracy in her shots, her marksmanship was impressive. It was as if the bullets were guided by her command, striking the enemies with precision.

Hero had faced Stanley before. He knew Stanley was a newly recruited member of the League Team.

The reason why Stanley was placed in the forward position was because of his incredible speed and precision with the steel gun. He was capable of instant enemy kills.

However, in this battle, Stanley was completely outplayed and the female player exploited his weaknesses.

Often, she took down Stanley before he. could get close.

After watching the game replay of the second round, Hero immediately opened the game replay of the third round. Now, he was curious about the new female classmate.

In the third round, the female player seemed to have changed her strategy.

She became even more swift and aggressive. It seemed that she wanted to end the battle quickly.

What should have been a half-hour match was abruptly over in just twenty minutes.

As the match ended, Hero contemplated the scene. He thought it felt a bit familiar.

Suddenly, he seemed to have realized something. He thought of the mysterious, powerful player, Sugar.

In the third round, the female player’s playstyle was eerily similar to that of Sugar, and both of them were female. Hero wondered whether it could be the same person.

Then Hero turned and grabbed Franco’s collar.

Franco was frightened, and his face turned pale. His voice trembled as he asked, “What are you doing?”

“Tell me. What’s this girl’s name, and where is she now?” Hero’s voice carried an intense excitement.

“I only know her name is Catherine Swann, and she’s a freshman this year. As for anything else, I’m not sure. As you know, recruitment is not my department.” Franco replied.

This kind of detailed work, like recruiting students, was typically handled by female members, while Franco was solely in charge of team training.

Hero was extremely eager, and he couldn’t hide his excitement. He asked, “So, where is she now? Take me to meet her!”

Franco looked at Hero in amazement. His eyes filled with disbelief as he asked, “Now?”

Hero couldn’t understand Franco’s surprise and asked, “Is there a problem?”

Franco pointed to the dark sky outside and said, “Hero, it’s already 10 p.m. In half an hour, the lights will be out. You want me to take you to find a freshman club member who’s also a girl?

“Do normal people have such thoughts? Have you not been hit on the head by the dormitory supervisor’s broom, and it didn’t sit well with you?”

Franco’s scolding made Hero gradually realize the situation.

It was indeed quite late, and approaching a girl from the dormitory at this hour might startle her.

Thinking about these things, Hero. could only suppress his curiosity and return to his original gloomy demeanor.

Seeing him like this, Franco felt a bit sorry.

“Don’t be so disheartened. Maybe I can ask our learning activities coordinator to organize a club gathering tomorrow. Miss Swann is a new member of the club, and she might attend. You two can have a chat then.”

After hearing Franco’s suggestion, Hero, who was usually reserved and spoke very little, surprisingly responded, “Alright.”

Franco was once again shocked, as he didn’t expect Catherine to be so charming.

She even made Hero, who hardly talked to Franco, actively respond to him.

In Franco’s opinion, Hero’s strong desire to meet Catherine was mainly because he admired her exceptional gaming skills and wanted to have a friendly exchange.

To fulfill his roommate’s rare request, Franco informed the learning activities coordinator, a senior responsible for recruitment, to organize a friendly match to assess the club members’ skills.

Such activities were common, so it didn’t raise any eyebrows.

The next day, Catherine, as usual, got up for her classes. Perhaps because it was the beginning of the school year, the workload wasn’t too heavy.

She had only one class in the morning, which was her second-period class.

After class, Amelia immediately bounced over to Catherine.

“Super Catherine, it’s almost 11 a.m. Let’s go to the cafeteria together. I heard the fifth cafeteria in our university is famous in the entire college town!”

Catherine had no objections. The choice of food wasn’t very important to her as long as it was clean and didn’t taste too strange.

As they left the classroom, they spotted Ronin waiting in the hallway.

Ronin stood at the staircase with a cold expression. There was an air of indifference about him.

However, when he noticed Catherine, everything changed dramatically.

His previously cold and indifferent gaze lit up instantly, and he looked in Catherine’s direction with a warm smile.

“Catherine, I’m here!”

After seeing Ronin, Catherine knew that he had come to join her for lunch, so she mentioned Amelia’s suggestion.

“How about going to the fifth cafeteria together? Amelia said the food there is pretty good.”

Seeing Amelia present, Ronin had initially thought he wouldn’t have a chance to have lunch with Catherine.

He was pleasantly surprised that Catherine invited him. “Sure, Catherine! I’ve never eaten at the school cafeteria. Let’s go together!”

Watching Ronin’s excited expression when he saw Catherine, Amelia couldn’t help but envy their close relationship.

“Super Catherine, your little brother is so considerate. He came to find you right after class. Having such a supportive family member in a new place is really nice!”

Amelia knew that Ronin was a few years younger than Catherine, and although they weren’t biological siblings, their bond was incredibly strong.

Ronin wasn’t thrilled about Amelia, who was always hanging around Catherine. However, hearing Amelia praise their good relationship made him look at her in a new light, and he visibly perked up.

“Let’s go quickly! I don’t want Catherine to go hungry!”

Chapter 568 A Friendly Match

At Styre University, one of the top three universities in Eskana, even the cafeteria standards were higher than those of regular colleges.

The campus boasted five cafeterias, each offering a different cuisine.

The fifth cafeteria specialized in upgraded New Orleans chicken wings and beef stew, earning high praise among students and making it the most popular on campus.

Surveying the crowded cafeteria, Ronin stepped forward enthusiastically.

“Catherine, tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll stand in line and get it for you!”

Catherine glanced at the electronic screen above the cafeteria and casually selected a few dishes.

Ronin instantly took note and said, ” Catherine, just wait. I’ll go get it!”

After saying that, he turned to the side and gave Amelia a meaningful look.

Amelia immediately understood and said, “I’m not picky. I’ll have whatever Super Catherine is having!”

Ronin thought that the request wasn’t too troublesome. Then he nodded in satisfaction.

Catherine surveyed the area, found an empty seat, and sat down.

The moment she sat down, numerous gazes were directed toward her.

Some were filled with admiration,

while others carried a strong sense of envy.

Not only was she attractive, but her figure was also top-notch. She was such a rare find in the mortal realm.

Catherine calmly sat in her seat and scrolled through her phone. She was completely indifferent to the surrounding attention.

Amelia admired Catherine’s calm and domineering attitude, finding her disregard for everything quite impressive.

When Ronin returned with the tray, Amelia received a WhatsApp message. After reading it, she promptly informed Catherine.

“Super Catherine, the club said they’re organizing a friendly match tonight. The president wants to assess everyone’s gaming skills and foster camaraderie within the club.”

In the early stages of club recruitment, clubs typically organized events to help new members integrate faster. These activities could facilitate the bonding between new and old members.

Catherine remained silent, but Ronin wore a curious expression and approached. “Catherine, did you join the club?”

“Yeah!” Catherine grunted in agreement and nodded.

Ronin dared not press her further and redirected his question to Amelia at his side.

“What club did you get Catherine into? “he inquired.

Amelia was a bit displeased with his questioning style. “What do you mean? How are you so sure it was me who got her into it?”

Ronin gave Amelia a disdainful look. ” Who do you think Catherine is? She has no interest in joining clubs, so it must be because you dragged her into it!”

Amelia admitted that Ronin was right.

“It’s no big deal. I just noticed that Super Catherine plays games regularly, “she confessed.

Ronin immediately saw through the truth. “So, you dragged Catherine into the esports club, right?”

With her chin resting on her hand, Catherine listened with interest as the two bantered.

Both Ronin and Amelia were fun individuals with straightforward minds, making it easy to be around them.

Feeling like her secret was exposed, Amelia didn’t want to continue the conversation with Ronin.

She turned to Catherine and wore a bright smile.

“Super Catherine, it’s our club’s first event. You’ll join me, right?”

For some reason, Amelia always felt that convincing Catherine, the revered figure, wouldn’t be easy.

However, she had already promised the senior student that she would ensure Catherine attended, and she couldn’t afford to go back on her promise.

Chapter 569 The Queue Jumpers

Catherine hadn’t responded to Amelia yet when Ronin raised his hand to express his interest.

“Catherine, if you join the esports club, I want to join too! Take me with you!”

For him, the club itself didn’t matter. What mattered was being with Catherine.

Catherine, who was initially uninterested, agreed when she saw the enthusiasm of the two.

Since she played games when bored at night, she figured a change of location wouldn’t hurt.

The Duncan Corporation was quite busy with its operations these days.

Branden had flown abroad and wouldn’t be back until tomorrow night.

Seeing Catherine finally nod, Amelia breathed a sigh of relief. It met the expectations of the senior student.

The food at the fifth cafeteria was indeed good. Even Catherine ate quite a bit.

After finishing lunch, the three stood up to line up and take their trays to the recycling area.

Ronin tried to take Catherine’s tray. ” Catherine, I’ll do it!”

They had ordered a lot, and if Ronin carried the tray for Catherine, there was a risk of dirtying his clothes.

Although Catherine was lazy, she was not fussy.

She said, “No need. Let’s go together!”

Seeing Catherine insist, Ronin didn’t say much.

The fifth cafeteria was crowded, and even the line to return trays was quite long.

At Styre University, there was a rule that after eating, students should take their trays to the recycling spot. This made it easier for the cafeteria staff to clean up.

If a student didn’t follow this rule and got caught on the cafeteria cameras three times, they would face disciplinary action.

The punishment was severe, making students unwilling to take shortcuts.

After all, returning trays was just a couple of extra steps, but getting disciplined meant having a record.

Things were going smoothly, with everyone in an orderly line. Suddenly, up ahead, a girl in a purple dress started waving and calling out to her right. In no time, several people squeezed in front of her.

This blatant cutting in line was downright audacious.

Many people present had their reservations, but most preferred to roll their eyes silently rather than confront such behavior.

However, Amelia couldn’t take it anymore. She became highly annoyed as she saw that. She had initially hoped someone else would speak up first, and then she would support them, but nobody did.

She couldn’t hold back any longer. With a raised voice, she exclaimed, Could you please have some decency and not cut in line intentionally?”

As soon as she spoke up, the surrounding murmurs of discontent started to rise.

The girl in the purple dress became displeased. After rolling her eyes, she turned around and identified the source of the loudest voice, which happened to be Amelia.

“Excuse me. I’ve been waiting in line since early on. I’m holding spots for my friends. Any problem with that?

“Which eye of yours saw me cutting in line? Don’t go around accusing people of having low manners. If you have the time, I suggest you improve your own manners first.”

Amelia had never seen someone make a mistake and then act so confidently.

Those who had cut in line with the girl in the purple dress stepped up to support her.

“Yeah. You don’t have a bit of camaraderie!”

“You’re really so rushing. Can’t spare this bit of time?”

“Some people have nothing to do but poke their noses in others’ business!”

“Do you just love being the center of attention?”

The voices were clamoring. All of them scolded Amelia.

This infuriated Amelia. With a red face, she nearly ran out of breath, trying to respond.

After a while, she could only manage to say, “You cut in line, and you still think you’re justified?”

Catherine coldly surveyed the brazen crowd. When she caught sight of Jada standing among the queue jumpers, she finally understood the meaning of birds of a feather.

Amelia had only spoken a sentence, which had already triggered an

onslaught from the group.

“Apologize!”

“Accusing us of cutting in line and calling us uncivilized? Just because your mouth is on your body doesn’t mean you can say whatever you want!”

“That’s right. Don’t even think about leaving if you don’t apologize today!”.

The group clamored, demanding an apology from Amelia.

Catherine held her phone and spun around, capturing each person’s face on video.

With one hand casually in her pocket and the other steadying her phone, she spoke in a cold tone, “No need to argue. You all know whether you cut in line or not. I’ll upload this video to the internet later. The entire cafeteria is under surveillance. Let the school and netizens decide who should apologize.

What do you think?”

After hearing that, the group changed their expressions.

No one expected Catherine to escalate the situation to this extent and bring it online for public judgment.

The group felt upset.

Whether they did something wrong or not, the queue jumpers knew it best.

The earlier arrogant ones suddenly fell silent. They looked at each other and hoped someone would come up with a solution.

Jada noticed Catherine taking charge and felt a surge of anger.

She hadn’t even confronted Catherine yet, and Catherine dared to provoke her again. She thought Catherine was asking for trouble.

She stepped forward and looked sternly at Catherine. “Who gave you the right to record me? You’ve violated my image rights. I demand you delete the video immediately, or I will sue you!”

After her statement, the group joined Jada in shouting, all threatening to sue Catherine.

Facing the threats, Catherine remained calm and even laughed lightly.

“Sue me?” She chuckled and then continued, “Sure. I’ll be waiting for your court summons anytime!”

Seeing Catherine’s arrogant attitude, Jada felt a deep sense of anger and dissatisfaction.

“Catherine, do you think I can’t do anything to you? The Facers’ legal team is no pushover. If we go to court, I guarantee you won’t get away with it!”

“Is that so?” Catherine retorted coldly with a sarcastic tone. Then she continued, “I don’t know if the Facers’ legal team is pushover or not. Miss Facer, you claim to be a high-IQ socialite, but you seem quite ignorant. You don’t know any legal knowledge!”

“You…” Jada stamped her foot in anger. She was infuriated by Catherine. ” Catherine, don’t be so arrogant. You actually dared to scold me publicly!”

Catherine raised her head with a domineering and audacious demeanor and loudly replied, “I’ve publicly slapped you. What’s there to be afraid of in scolding you?”

Upon hearing this, the onlookers were all shocked.

The usually arrogant socialite Jada had been slapped by Catherine. This was truly big news. After Jada heard Catherine’s words, her face turned pale.

She felt everyone around her staring at her with eyes that seemed to be enjoying a joke. She was so angry that she was unable to move.

Her eyes widened as she glared at Catherine. She gritted her teeth in anger.

“Catherine, you’re too arrogant. Don’t think just because you have the Duncans backing you, I won’t dare to touch you!”

“Jada, next time you threaten someone, change your script. I’m bored to hear the same lines every time. If you’re brave, don’t talk. Just act.”

Catherine stood firm and remained calm. She exuded an aura of domineering.

Jada was usually considered a high- class socialite. However, as she stood opposite Catherine, she presented a stark contrast.

Catherine appeared regal and dominant like a princess, while Jada seemed no better than a flustered bitch, who was thoroughly embarrassed.

Chapter 570 Jada’s Apology

Jada found herself completely speechless under the scolding of Catherine.

Catherine tended to be indifferent and silent. It was just that she didn’t feel like talking. When Catherine decided to engage, others were simply no match for her.

Then Catherine said, “That’s just me being generous when I say you don’t know legal knowledge, Jada. If you want to sue me, just do it.

“As for your claim that I violated your portrait rights, I suggest you reconsider. As one of the victims of this queue-jumping incident, I have every right to document how my rights were violated.

“If you really want to take legal action, feel free to go after the school. After all, it’s their cameras that caught your ugly faces during this shameful incident, not mine.

“I’ve said what needs to be said. You can choose to go public or offer a sincere apology.”

Catherine crossed her arms and exuded a domineering aura as she stared down the group.

Despite being outnumbered, Catherine showed no fear.

She maintained her powerful and formidable presence, making everyone think twice before disregarding her words.

After hearing Catherine’s words, the several girls with the girl in the purple dress began to feel uneasy.

These girls were quite popular at school and even in the nearby college town. They had a good reputation. In other words, everyone praised them.

If this incident ended up online, they could face public criticism for cutting in line. Those internet warriors wouldn’t hold back their words, and these girls didn’t want to become famous for such a thing.

Someone discreetly tugged at Jada’s sleeve, signaling her to defuse the situation.

“Jada, can’t we just downplay this whole thing?”

But Jada wasn’t willing to let it slide.

Apologizing to Catherine in publić was more humiliating for her than getting slapped by Catherine.

She didn’t want to bear such a disgrace.

“If you want to apologize, do it on your own. Don’t involve me in this mess!” Jada retorted.

The others, who didn’t want to escalate the situation further, reluctantly stepped forward to apologize for their line-cutting behavior and obediently joined the back of the queue.

As Catherine looked at Jada, who was still defiant, she laughed mockingly. After Jada heard the derisive sound, she immediately turned her head and glared at Catherine.

“What are you laughing at?”

Catherine couldn’t be bothered with more words. She had said enough for the day.

She glanced at Ronin standing nearby and said, “Let the Facers know.”

Ronin had long been itching with resentment. He thought inwardly, ” Who does Jada think she is, daring to clamor against Catherine? It’s like asking for trouble.”

He swiftly pulled out his phone. Without making a call, he sent a message. Moments later, Jada’s phone, which was tightly gripped in her hand, suddenly rang.

Upon seeing the incoming call, Jada frowned. After she answered, her expression turned extremely grim.

A few seconds later, Jada’s face turned pale, and she tremblingly ended the call.

Observing her reaction, Ronin couldn’t help but sneer, “I told you earlier to learn to apologize when you mess up. You didn’t listen. Regret now, huh?”

Jada glared at him with a look of resentment. Her face turned ashen, and her teeth clenched tightly.

The call was from her grandfather. Her grandfather had always cherished her. But he ordered her to apologize to Catherine.

He even threatened that she shouldn’t bother visiting him at the old mansion again if she didn’t apologize.

Jada thought inwardly, “Damn it!”

She thought Catherine must have enlisted the help of Branden. The Duncans were currently dominating Loxton, and no one dared to confront the Duncans head-on.

Even her family had to cooperate with the Duncans, not daring to offend them.

In Jada’s view, Catherine was taking advantage of her engagement with Branden and bullying her like this. It was just too much.

Even though she was reluctant and unwilling, Jada still bowed her head and apologized.

Without the Facers, she was nothing, so she couldn’t afford to lose the Facers ‘ support.

“I’m sorry,” she muttered. Her voice was barely audible.

As Ronin watched Jada’s unwilling demeanor, he grew infuriated. He thought Jada was so arrogant.

“Why are you speaking in such a low voice? Can you be louder?” he asked.

Jada clenched her hands tightly. Her fingertips turned white from the force, and her meticulously done nails dug into her flesh. Her eyes turned red from the pain.

Leveraging this discomfort, she suppressed her reluctance and raised her voice, saying, “I’m sorry!”

After saying this, she lifted her head and stared at Catherine.

“Is that enough?”

Catherine looked at her coldly and maintained her dominant posture. Not satisfied? Come find me anytime!”

Suppressing her anger, Jada flung her tray at a nearby companion and stormed out of the cafeteria.

The humiliation she had just endured fueled a determination to get revenge on Catherine.

Amelia witnessed Catherine’s dominant behavior throughout and gazed at her with admiration.

“Super Catherine, you’re just too awesome!”

Catherine glanced at her and coldly admonished, “Queue properly!”

Amelia hastily balanced her tray, stood up straight, and got in line.

curiosity consumed her. She took a risk and approached Catherine.

Then she asked, “Super Catherine, do you have some grudge against Jada? She’s been targeting you since the first day of class. Are you two old acquaintances?”

Her words happened to be overheard by Ronin standing nearby, and he immediately stepped forward.

“What did you say? That bitch dares to target Catherine?”

Seeing Ronin’s angry look, Amelia felt a bit frightened and instinctively took a step back.

“Did I say something wrong?”

She mistakenly thought it was a secret, and Catherine didn’t want Ronin to know, but she inadvertently revealed it. After a few people left, the queue naturally moved faster.

When it was Catherine’s turn, she handed her tray to the cafeteria worker and then turned to leave.

As Ronin and Amelia saw that, they quickly abandoned their trays and followed her. At 7 PM, Amelia began urging Catherine to go out.

“Super Catherine, are you ready to go?”

After finishing her work on the computer and saving the documents, Catherine got up from the bed.

“Let’s go.”

As they descended the stairs together, they saw Ronin, who had been waiting downstairs.

“Catherine, you’re here.”

Catherine raised an eyebrow at him, thinking he arrived surprisingly in time. Although Amelia and she had gone downstairs early, he managed to catch up.

Perhaps sensing the meaning in Catherine’s e Ronin immediately explained, “Catherine, I added Amelia on WhatsApp and asked her to notify me before leaving.”

He proactively confessed, fearing Catherine might be displeased.

Catherine glanced at him appreciatively and said in a low voice, ” Smart.”

Ronin happily shook his body a bit. ” Catherine, all thanks to your teachings!

After hearing that, Amelia got goosebumps.

She thought she was already Catherine’s number-one fan. She realized that her level of enthusiasm for Catherine didn’t match up to Ronin’s.

Ronin was the true, wholehearted admirer of Catherine.
