Chapter 476 An Accident

On the last day of preparations for the big exam, all the students were called back to the classroom.

The homeroom teacher had to inform them of exam instructions, check everyone’s admission tickets, and arrange some last-minute work.

As Catherine entered the classroom, Ronin was the first to notice something was amiss. He exclaimed, “Catherine, what happened to your hand?”

Catherine glanced at the bandage on her hand and slightly frowned. After Ronin’s loud outburst, everyone’s attention turned to Catherine. Ronin couldn’t wait and hurried to Catherine’s side with righteous anger.

“Catherine, tell me who hurt you. I’ll take care of the scoundrel who injured you!”

He had turned incredibly furious. It seemed that he was ready for a fight. Catherine gave him a cool look and asked in a cold tone, “Do you think you can handle the person who hurt me?”

With just that simple statement, Ronin found himself deep in thought.

Catherine was right. Whoever had hurt Catherine was a formidable opponent, and there was no way Ronin could handle it. After all, Catherine was so powerful.

Ronin couldn’t fathom who it might be.

After a moment of contemplation, Ronin reluctantly said, “Catherine, even if I can’t get revenge for you, I can still settle the score a bit.”

“It’s an accident.”

After Catherine said that, she pushed Ronin onto a chair. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Her gesture indicated she didn’t want Ronin to get involved. Ronin understood and then nodded. “I see. It was an accident. I knew it!”

Bryan glanced at Catherine’s injured hand and frowned with concern. ” Catherine, your right hand is injured. How are you going to take the exam tomorrow?”

Catherine waved it off dismissively and replied, “I’ll manage.”

Seeing that Catherine didn’t want to discuss it further, Bryan decided not to press the issue. Liana, who was sitting nearby, noticed the situation and couldn’t help but smile smugly.

She had been worried that Catherine might take some impressive measures. But now, it seemed like Catherine was indeed a jinx, and her luck had taken a turn for the worse.

Catherine got injured on the right hand the day before the exam. It rendered her incapable of taking the test. Liana thought inwardly, “With an injured hand, how can Catherine complete the exam?

“She doesn’t have any chance. She is bound to fail.”

As Liana thought about the phone call, she became upset. She hadn’t initially intended to cause trouble for Catherine, but seeing Catherine’s injured hand, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

Liana asked, “Catherine, how could you have such an accident the day before the exam?

“I’ve heard many people get pre-exam jitters, and they fear they won’t perform well. So, they try to find ways to avoid it.”

Liana smiled and stared at Catherine with a peculiar, sinister expression.

“Catherine, are you one of those people?”

Her tone was dripping with sarcasm. It drew the attention of those around them. Liana’s implication was quite evident. She suggested that Catherine intentionally caused the accident to avoid the exam.

Everyone else could see it, so there was no way Catherine wouldn’t.

She looked at Liana coldly and said calmly, “Instead of worrying about me, you should think about your own future. After Liana heard these words, her face turned pale. She had no response to Catherine’s retort.

Korbin and Rachael were both expelled from the Swanns’, so Liana had no chance to stay at the Swanns’ either.

Without power and status, Liana, who was once the heiress of Swanns and the most envied socialite in Casier, might suffer a lot in the future.

Ronin observed the situation and looked at Liana with a cold, mocking expression on his face. He thought inwardly, “She just lacks self-awareness. Even in this situation, she still has the nerve to mock Catherine.

“She really is overestimating herself.”

The awkward atmosphere was interrupted when the homeroom teacher entered the classroom. During the class meeting, the homeroom teacher emphasized the instructions repeatedly.

It seemed that doing so would prevent any unexpected mishaps. Once the instructions were clear, the teacher had the whole class double- check everything.

Finally, the teacher turned her attention to Catherine.

“Catherine, come with me to the office. In the office, the homeroom teacher looked at the wound on Catherine’s arm with a headache.

“How could you be so careless and injure your right hand?”

Catherine had faced many challenges over the years.

But she never expected that a minor wound like this would draw so much attention.

“It’s not a big deal,” Catherine replied casually. Seeing Catherine’s attitude, the homeroom teacher was still somewhat concerned.

Catherine’s grades were exceptionally high, and she consistently performed well in important exams, even if she slept through regular classes.

The homeroom teacher had hoped Catherine would achieve a good ranking this time and bring glory to Class 8, but now, it seemed that her expectations might not be met.

Despite the unfortunate timing of the injury, the homeroom teacher refrained from scolding and offered comfort to Catherine.

“Be more careful, stay relaxed, and do your best. Since it has happened, just try to make the best of it.”

Catherine nodded slightly and left the office. In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived. It was the day of the big exam.

Many people had trouble sleeping last night, but Catherine was an exception. She had gone to bed at 8 PM and was awakened at 6 AM by Audrey.

Knowing that Catherine had an exam today, Audrey took a day off from the crew to accompany her.

Audrey led the still-sleepy Catherine to the dining table and gestured for her to sit down.

“Kathy, wake up a bit. I’ll go prepare breakfast for you.”

Catherine had just woken up and was in a daze.

She asked in a drowsy voice, “Are you sure?”

Audrey had originally intended to cook breakfast for Catherine. However, after reconsidering her culinary skills, She didn’t want to risk Catherine getting sick on such an important day. After a moment of thought, she decided to change her plans.

“Never mind. I’ll just go buy something for you.”

As she opened the door, she was surprised to find a group of people waiting outside. Audrey was puzzled.

She asked, “Who are you?”

Paxton, upon hearing her voice, stepped forward. “Miss Swann, Mr. Duncan arranged for us to come. We are here to prepare breakfast for you and Miss Catherine.”

Audrey observed their professional attire and noticed the emblem of a local five-star hotel on their chef hats. It was evident they were top-notch private chefs brought in by Branden.

Knowing Branden arranged it, Audrey accepted their help without hesitation. After all, given how accomplished Catherine was, pursuing her was no easy task.

Even a noble like Branden had to put in the effort to win her over.
