Chapter 680 Catherine Has Been Taken Away

Although no one wanted to believe it, Catherine was still listed as the prime suspect because, in the surveillance video, she was shown appearing at the door of Marshall’s office.

At that time, everyone had gone to eat. Catherine, however, suddenly appeared and lingered at the office door for quite a while, her actions strangely mysterious.

The investigation team had arrived, and despite Ultan’s desire to speak up for Catherine, he had to hand her over.

Marshall simply did not believe Catherine could be the leaker. He bet his future that she would never do such a thing.

To quell Marshall’s anger, the investigation team decided not to take Catherine away and opted to conduct an inquiry at the school.

This was the best result Marshall could fight for, and he came to Catherine feeling guilty. “Catherine, don’t worry too much. I will find a way to clear your suspicion.”

Catherine looked at Marshall, whose face was filled with wrinkles of anxiety, and calmly asked, “Is it worth it?”

Marshall hesitated for a moment, seemingly not understanding Catherine’s meaning.

Catherine asked casually, “Is it worth risking your future for a student?”

The calm tone angered Marshall unusually. He glared at Catherine, saying solemnly, “You are my student. As long as you are my student for a day, it’s worth any cost.”

She was his student, so he believed in Catherine’s character. He was a teacher, and students were like his children. Protecting his child at any cost was something he should do.

Catherine glanced at Marshall, her demeanor composed, and followed the investigation team away without any signs of being flustered.

The people in the investigation team were not Ultan’s group. In their eyes, Catherine was the prime suspect, and they naturally did not have a favorable attitude toward her.

Displeased with Catherine’s demeanor, the leading female investigator coldly rebuked her, “Hurry up! What are you dilly-dallying for?”

Catherine raised her gaze and cast a cold, intimidating glare, creating a powerful and frightening aura.

The female investigator was instantly frightened, frozen in place as if immobilized by the cold. The atmosphere in the corridor dropped to freezing point.

Just when the situation seemed to be spiraling out of control, a man’s appearance broke the deadlock. ” Catherine, right? Please follow me.”

Branden received the news while still in Casier.

Paxton hastily pushed open the study door and rushed directly to Branden.

Karl’s face immediately darkened. In his view, no matter how significant the matter, such a rash intrusion was entirely inappropriate. “Paxton, have you forgotten the rules of the Duncans? Is it because you’ve been around Branden for too long?”

Paxton bowed immediately, but instead of admitting fault, he first reported the situation to Branden. “Sir, the investigation team has taken Miss Swann away.”

Branden’s expression instantly turned grim. His menacing eyes were bloodthirsty, and his voice lacked any warmth. “What exactly happened?”

“Styre University’s experimental project data was stolen and taken by people from Rexinheim. They suspect Miss Swann is the leaker,” said Paxton.

Upon hearing the general overview, Branden stood up directly and walked toward the door.

Karl also realized the situation, his face looking extremely unpleasant. He couldn’t help but scold, “Why do some people always have an issue with Cassie? Are they all out of their minds?”

He turned around to see Paxton still bowing and angrily shouted, “Why are you still there? Hurry, make sure Catherine suffers no injustice. Otherwise, don’t bother coming back!”

“Yes!” Paxton realized and immediately straightened up, rushing after Branden.
