Chapter 623 I’m from Eskana!

The people who came to the scene were all authoritative figures in the academic field. After Catherine had finished expressing her views, she handed over the floor to others.

With someone as influential as Catherine setting a good example, the convention went very smoothly.

During the two-hour convention, Catherine, apart from listening to their discussion for a little while at the beginning, played games on her phone the whole time without any restraint. Although she behaved so casually. However, not a single person dared to complain. With her formidable abilities, who would dare to speak against her?

After the convention ended, Catherine stood up, ready to leave, but someone stopped her. She lowered her eyes and looked at the person with a faint gaze. ” What’s the matter?”

Atticus rubbed his hands, looking a bit embarrassed. It was evident that he was indeed nervous. “Miss Swann, I really admire your talent and your research in the professional field…”

Catherine didn’t have time to listen to Atticus’s long-winded praise. She bluntly interrupted his rambling. “Get to the point!”

The four seemingly casual words instantly changed Atticus’s attitude. He stopped his long-winded speech and whispered to Catherine, “Miss Swann, are you interested in coming to our laboratory? Our laboratory has not only the most professional team in the world but also substantial sponsorship funds. Most importantly, our laboratory is located in Mistel.”

As the most prosperous country globally, Mistel dominated the world with its immense comprehensive strength. If this kind of leading project were conducted in Mistel, there would be no worries about issues with core research and development. If it were in other countries, however, once developed, it could potentially be a disaster. Mistel absolutely did not allow other countries to take the lead in the research and development of this project, thus threatening its status.

Based on this, many of the world’s top scientists set up their laboratories in Mistel, not just because of Mistel’s top- notch technology but also to protect themselves.

After listening to Atticus’s persuasion, Catherine sneered and gave a response. “Remember, I am from Eskana! I will never be a lackey for Mistel. My research and my achievements can only be handed over to my country.”

Marshall was extremely anxious when he saw Catherine stopped by Atticus. He knew Atticus’s intentions well. After all, he had been tempted by Atticus before and knew how powerful Atticus’s methods were. In order to recruit people, he could double and redouble his offers. Catherine was still so young, and the temptation might have been too much for her to handle. Marshall had just been about to make a move when Patrick pulled him back.

“Professor Hartley, you have to believe in your students,” Patrick said, stopping Marshall’s actions with a simple sentence.

Marshall didn’t rush forward. He stood in place, watching Catherine’s every move, afraid that she might accidentally agree to Atticus’s offer.

Finally, when Catherine said she was from Eskana, Marshall felt the weight lifted from his heart. He clenched his fists tightly and waved them in excitement, saying, “Well done! If all young people love our country like Catherine does, our country will be even stronger!”

After hearing Catherine’s words, Patrick felt a surge of excitement. He had stopped Marshall because of Branden. He knew how patriotic and upright his boss was. Catherine, as Branden’s fiancée, must be a patriot as well.

Moreover, the Duncans were not short of money, and the laboratory of Red Star was no less inferior to Mistel’s laboratories. If Catherine really wanted to enter a world-class laboratory, wouldn’t Red Star be better than Ellinos Academy?

He also knew a secret-Catherine was the head of the Arbotte Laboratory, one of the world’s three major laboratories. How could she possibly be interested in Ellinos Academy’s laboratory?

Even though Patrick already knew the answer, he couldn’t help but feel excited after hearing Catherine’s words. It was truly exhilarating!

Atticus still wanted to persuade Catherine. He had seen too many young people like her who hadn’t endured life’s hardships and hadn’t experienced suffering. They didn’t know the allure of money or the pleasure of power. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The moment Atticus reached out, Catherine glared at him, which forced him to withdraw his hand. Her gaze was too intimidating, which scared him into immobility.

Seeing that he fell silent, Catherine stepped away.

After leaving the convention, Catherine immediately spotted the familiar car. She walked straight toward the car as Branden was just about to get out of it, but she stopped him, opened the door for herself, and got in. Once inside, she immediately lay back, comfortably resting on the man’s lap.

Branden took her hand and gently massaged it, asking, “Are you so tired? “His gentle tone was filled with concern, as he knew Catherine had been busy with her experiments lately. This experiment was not easy at all. If it succeeded, it would be a groundbreaking development that shocked the entire world.

He understood the hardships she was overcoming and couldn’t stop her pursuit of her dreams, so he could only silently support her. Knowing that Styre University was attending the convention, he arranged for Patrick to be there. Even though Catherine might not need someone to protect her, Branden would feel more at ease with someone looking out for her.

Catherine shook her head slightly and said, “I’m not tired. I’m just so comfortable like this!” She would rather lie down than sit.

Branden smiled indulgently, his voice filled with infinite tenderness as he said, “Alright, then just lie down like this!”

Atticus happened to walk out and witnessed Catherine getting into the car. He glanced at the car emblem and smirked maliciously. “So she’s rich. No wonder she’s not interested in money. She is just an ignorant freshman who doesn’t know her place.”

Patrick overheard this and couldn’t help but retort, “Mr. Sterling, it seems like you’re the ignorant one. I advise you not to meddle in things you shouldn’t.”

Atticus could tell that Patrick and Catherine must be acquainted, and Patrick must know something.

“Professor Phillips, what do you mean by this?” Atticus curiously asked, ” What is Catherine’s background?”

Patrick recognized the car as Branden’s and knew that his boss personally came to pick Catherine up, feeling a hint of envy. Seeing Atticus still trying to cause trouble, he couldn’t help but warn him, “As we’re acquainted, I’ll give you a warning. Some people are not for you to scheme against. I advise you to give up on your tricks.”

After saying that, Patrick left without even sparing a glance for Atticus.

Watching Patrick’s retreating figure, Atticus became even more interested in Catherine. This mysterious woman was a talent. It would be great if she could become his student. It would be a shame not to win her over.

Atticus made up his mind to figure out Catherine’s background. Even if they were in Eskana, it wouldn’t stop him from investigating her.
