Chapter 309 To Give an Account

Ronin Oconnor had just spoken, and before Catherine Swann even had a chance to react, he regretted it.

“Did he really need to explain things to his boss?” thought Ronin. He felt that he must have been driven crazy by Liana to say such things to his boss.

Ronin quickly apologized, “Boss, I’m sorry. I must have been out of my mind to say something like that. Let’s ignore her; she’s like an escaped lunatic.”

Catherine had no intention of paying attention to Liana in the first place. Responding to her would be giving her too much attention. Liana was not worried at all, even realizing Catherine was ignoring her,

She stood on the moral high ground, confident that she could defeat Catherine completely.

“Catherine, why are you so calm when you’ve done something wrong? Clearly, you are the one who made a mistake, aren’t you?” said Liana.

She continued, “You are plotting against your brother to obtain the Swanns’ wealth. Doesn’t your conscience condemn you?”

Under Liana’s vigorous spin, the emotions of the classmates began to change. Now, in the eyes of everyone, Catherine was a demon who would stop at nothing for personal gain, even if it meant destroying family ties.

However, they dared not curse loudly but only whispered their discussions on the side out of fear of Catherine’s authority.

“This is too much. How can there be such a terrifying person?”

“He’s her brother. Even if they didn’t grow up together, does she have to be this ruthless?”

“Oh my god, staying in the same class as someone like this is making my heart race. What if one day she’s not satisfied with us? Will she come after us, too?”

“Exactly, it’s actually possible!”

“Terrifying!”

As the discussion grew more intense, the voices got louder. The criticism against Catherine became more and more severe, even catching the attention of the homeroom teacher.

After the homeroom teacher entered the room and shouted angrily, “Are you all fooling around during the holidays?

Instead of studying quietly and waiting for class, why are you making such a racket?” If it were a minor issue, the homeroom teacher’s scolding would have been enough to quiet everyone down. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, this time, the matter was too significant. It not only crossed moral boundaries but also involved a cruel form of persecution that normal people would find hard to accept.

Faced with the homeroom teacher’s reprimand, someone couldn’t help but speak up loudly, “Teacher, we request that Catherine should be transferred out of our class. We can’t coexist with a classmate like her!”

As soon as a student spoke up, another raised their hand, saying, “Yes, we must have a class without such students. We fear for our safety if we continue to coexist with her!”

“Absolutely, we must have her removed from our Class 8!”

The uproar of voices left the homeroom teacher dumbfounded. She had not expected things to turn out this way.

“What’s going on? Can someone please explain?” said the teacher in confusion. George Drax stepped forward and explained the situation that Liana had reported in detail under the homeroom teacher’s inquiry,

However, she never expected the situation to be so complicated!

The homeroom teacher was also puzzled. Catherine did not come across as someone solely interested in personal gain, so how could such a thing happen?

Although she found it strange, this was ultimately a family matter. Thus, the homeroom teacher did not want to get too involved.

She cleared her throat and spoke sternly to the students, “This is the Swanns’ affair, not a class matter. Stop discussing it and sit down. Get ready for class!”

The homeroom teacher’s words were clearly unable to suppress the high emotions of the students present.

“Teacher, even though it’s a matter in the Swanns, Catherine persecuting her younger brother shows that her character is lacking. Placing such a student in our class, aren’t you concerned about our safety?”

“Exactly. When she goes crazy, who knows if she might bite someone?”

Ronin was furious and lashed out at them as he heard the comments from those students,

“Are you fucking insane? Talking about biting people, why don’t you start by biting yourself?” cursed Ronin.

Both sides erupted in an argument immediately with this scolding. Although Ronin and his friends usually appeared imposing, now they were facing a united front, and nobody was afraid of anyone else.

The classroom was in chaos, with students from both sides shouting and arguing. Liana couldn’t contain the smirk in her heart as she watched the scene unfold. This was exactly the kind of scenario she wanted to see, with Catherine facing disdain from everyone.

Seeing that the situation was escalating, the homeroom teacher approached Catherine for a talk. She looked at Catherine friendly and said, “I don’t think you’re this kind of person. How about explaining yourself?

Catherine turned sideways and crossed her arms. Her exquisite face was adorned with sharp eyes as she appraised the homeroom teacher with interest.

“Teacher, they all say I’m a demon.. Why do you believe I didn’t do such a thing?” asked Catherine. The homeroom teacher was momentarily stunned and seemingly not expecting Catherine to respond this way.

After a brief moment, she realized the situation and looked at Catherine with a serious and somewhat expectant expression.

“You are my student, and if I don’t believe you, who will? But if there’s a misunderstanding, you should clarify it with your classmates as soon as possible. The class needs unity!” replied the teacher.

Catherine typically didn’t explain herself since she did things as she pleased. As for what others thought or how they saw her, it didn’t concern her at all.

However, today, for the sake of the homeroom teacher, she decided to explain herself briefly. Catherine smiled at the homeroom teacher and said, “Teacher, thank you for your trust, but I did do this.”

“Ah…” The homeroom teacher was left dumbfounded by Catherine’s confession, not immediately understanding what was happening.

Catherine then turned slowly and took a step to the center of the podium. She looked down at all her classmates with an imposing gaze from top to bottom,

She appeared calm, with only a hint of sharpness in her eyes as she swept her gaze around the room and uttered cold words.

“Be quiet!”

The once noisy classroom suddenly fell silent. Some students hadn’t even realized everyone had stopped talking and followed suit.

The homeroom teacher herself was shocked by this display of dominance. Catherine had handled the situation with unparalleled authority. Everyone’s attention shifted to Catherine, and they were curious about what she would say next.

Catherine placed her hands on the podium, leaned forward, and looked down at everyone with a cold, calm expression. “Whether it’s Johnathan or me, it’s all the Swanns’ business.”

The words uttered by Catherine did not satisfy the students. While it was true that it was the Swanns business, it was now involved their classmate, and they felt a need for an explanation.

Under the urging of the students, George was pushed forward. He took a step closer, looking at Catherine with caution.

After a glance at Catherine, George almost dropped dead on the spot. His heart nearly stopped as he felt that her gaze was just too terrifying for him.

George reluctantly spoke up as the students behind him pressured him. Catherine, it is indeed a matter of the Swanns. But since so many students are curious, why not explain it to us?”

Once George had spoken, some students gathered the courage to join in.

“Exactly. If there’s a misunderstanding, clarify it. We have the right to know the truth!”
