Chapter 310 Plead For Not Pursuing

Upon hearing this, Catherine raised her head to look at the student who had spoken. The student immediately fell silent and didn’t dare to meet her gaze.

George Drax then cautiously addressed Catherine by wearing a friendly smile and a careful demeanor. “Catherine, we’re concerned about you too. If there’s any misunderstanding, please clarify it. In case someone tries to smear your reputation in the future, we can defend you, right?” said George.

Normally, George was polite to Catherine. It was not easy to be the class president in Class 8, which was known for its strong personality. Catherine didn’t want to make things difficult for him either.

“In that case, I’ll ask Liana a few questions,” said George.

George was relieved when Catherine agreed to his suggestion. Catherine said, “Since Liana brought this matter up in public, it’s completely reasonable to ask her for a response. After all, she is also involved.”

Liana, who had been watching from the sidelines, didn’t expect to be called out by Catherine herself. She didn’t know what Catherine had in mind, but she had a feeling it wouldn’t be good.

She didn’t want to respond to Catherine, but with so many eyes focused on her, she felt that showing any signs of weakness would make her appear suspicious.

Reluctantly, Liana stepped forward. She walked up to Catherine with forced calmness and her icy gaze glaring at Catherine.

“Catherine, there’s no need to struggle anymore. No matter how much you explain, you can’t hide the sin you committed against Johnathan!” claimed Liana.

The reason Liana had exploded in the classroom upon arriving was primarily for her benefit. She wanted to pressure Catherine to revoke the punishment of Johnathan.

Johnathan had promised her that if she could accomplish this, he would give her a set of antique jewelry that she had coveted for a long time.

However, her mother had told her that this was something passed down from her grandmother and was meant to be given to a future daughter-in-law, which meant it could only belong to Johnathan.

She refused to accept that!

She believed that she could obtain anything she desired. Catherine coldly observed Liana, who was pretending to remain calm. She believed that truly guilty people tended to act more desperately, using other means to cover up their wrongdoing.

“Liana, you mentioned that our parents consider Johnathan as their beloved child. Why did they agree to let Johnathan attend such a school then? Are you, as his elder sister, more concerned about Johnathan than our parents?” said Catherine.

It was hard to evaluate Korbin, but Rachael was well-known in the circle for favoring her son. She considered Johnathan as her most cherished treasure, and everyone knew that.

When Catherine asked this question, everyone started to realize. George followed Catherine’s train of thought and felt that she had a valid point.

“Yeah, if that school is so bad, why would your parents let your brother go there? It doesn’t make sense. Liana, what’s the reason?” asked George.

Liana didn’t expect Catherine to bring up this topic suddenly. She only knew that her father had discussed conditions with Catherine.

As long as her father agreed to Catherine’s demands, Catherine wouldn’t expose the real situation of Johnathan, and if not, the deal would be void.

She thought that Catherine wouldn’t dare to reveal the truth, but she didn’t expect Catherine to use this to threaten her. After thinking for a moment, Liana maintained a calm demeanor and faced everyone.

“Catherine, why are you asking this? Don’t you already know the answer? It’s all because you dared to threaten our parents. You’re going too far!” said Liana.

“Oh, not only did Catherine drive away her younger brother, but she also threatened her parents. How can someone be so evil?”

“Actually, it’s not hard to imagine. Didn’t they say she was abandoned in the countryside from a young age? Maybe she lacks empathy!”

“Could it be that Catherine came back for revenge?”

For a moment, various discussions filled the air.

Just as Liana silently celebrated the success of her little scheme and shifted the focus away from herself, Catherine spoke up again. She stared at Liana and asked another question.

“Liana, what could you possibly do to threaten our parents and make them send their most beloved son to suffer like this?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Liana couldn’t wait to respond, “How would I know? You’re such a wicked person; you might have used some means.”

Catherine chuckled coldly as her laughter filled with mockery. Liana had a bad feeling after seeing her like this. She had a sense that something bad was about to happen. Catherine took out her phone right in front of Liana and waved it in front of her.

“Why don’t we call our father right. now and explain the situation? Let our father come and explain why they were so heartless as to send their precious son to Dentler Academy!” said Catherine. Liana instantly paled with just a simple sentence.

Her previously arrogant and somewhat haughty demeanor began to crumble. Panic and confusion flickered in her eyes as she realized the seriousness of the situation. This matter was a private deal between her and Johnathan, and her father was unaware of it.

If she succeeded, her father would praise her. But if she failed or even disrupted her father’s negotiations with Catherine, once her father blamed her, she…

Liana couldn’t believe her situation as she saw Catherine starting to dial her phone. She rushed forward and attempted to stop Catherine’s actions..

“Don’t…” she pleaded.

Catherine paused with a mocking look in her eyes as she glanced at Liana.

“What’s the matter? Are you afraid to let me confront our father?” Catherine taunted. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Liana’s face stiffened, and she appeared extremely embarrassed. She stammered, “Catherine, our father is busy with work every day. There’s no need to bother him with a phone call.”

Her excuse sounded feeble and unconvincing. Catherine decided to play along, aligning with Liana’s suggestion. “Is that so? You’re not worried about disrupting the whole class and insisting on discussing this matter? I believe our father won’t mind spending a few minutes for the sake of class unity,” Catherine said with a perfectly composed response.

Her response left Liana no room to criticize. Liana’s expression remained awkward, and she couldn’t hide her true emotions.

It was evident to everyone that something was amiss. Ronin, who had grown tired of Liana’s constant bickering with his boss, stepped in to support Catherine.

“That’s right. With the situation escalating like this, what’s the harm in making a phone call? Unless someone feels guilty for something and is afraid to confront it,” Ronin added.

Because of Ronin’s statement, more and more students began to suspect that something was indeed wrong.

As he pointed out, if there were no issues, a simple phone call could resolve everything. Why was Liana so reluctant to allow Catherine to make that call?

The discussions in the classroom shifted, and people started doubting Liana’s motives. Liana had no choice but to lower her head and plead with Catherine as she faced the escalating situation and lost the upper hand.

Her eyes were filled with pleading as she looked at Catherine and said, Catherine, can’t we just let this matter go ?
