Chapter 724 Celebration
The recent performance of the Styre Team was impressive and showcased the teamâs true strength to everyone.
The Bide Cup this year had been particularly exciting due to the emergence of the dark horse Styre Team, which had brought the competition to a climax.
The gambling outside the stadium was even more intense as Catherineâs comeback led the Styre Team to victory. Many of those who bet against Styre Team ended up losing everything.
Looking at the constantly rising numbers in front of the computer, Zobber couldnât stop smiling. â Catherine, look, weâve struck gold this time!â
Due to too many people losing money on betting against Styre Team, the peripheral market was not open for trading in the later stage.
How could Zobber miss such a good money-making opportunity? She directly invested 100 million dollars to build a new market. Regardless of how much they bet Styre Team would lose, she would still receive the payment.
Those crazy gamblers who couldnât find a place to bet against Styre Team had all placed their chips on the big market of Zobber.
Zobber really made a fortune this time, but she didnât keep the money all to herself. Instead, she immediately informed Catherine about the money. â Catherine, look quickly. This money can be enough for us to squander for a while!â
Zobber finished speaking and found that Ronin and his companions were not excited at all. âWhat are these expressions on your faces?â
Ronin smirked proudly at Zobber and took out his phone to show Zobber his account.
When Zobber saw a string of numbers on the account, her eyes widened in surprise. âWhere did you scam so much money from, kid?â
âI won it with my own abilities!â said Ronin.
Not only did Ronin, but Withal and Connie all bet on Catherine to win, and they also made a huge profit.
However, everyone collectively transferred the money to Zobberâs account, preparing to hand it to Catherine.
âCatherine, your laboratory is essentially a money-burning machine. Letâs just allocate all the funds to the laboratory.â
Catherine didnât refuse. For them, money was just numbers.
As long as this money could be used in a meaningful way, it was worth it.
âZobber, donate one-third to the charity for the relief of children and transfer the rest to Rodge!â said Catherine.
âUnderstood, Catherine!â
Everyone was very supportive of Catherineâs proposal.
Even if Catherine threw the money into the water, they would not have any objections, let alone the money was used for good deeds. After all, this money was originally earned by Catherine.
After resting for a short while, Catherine received a call from Marshall asking her to come over.
After explaining to everyone, Catherine left the room.
Watching Catherineâs departure, Zobber couldnât help but mutter, âIs Catherine being too kind to Marshall?â
With Catherineâs strength, she was even qualified to be addressed as â masterâ by Marshall.
However, Catherine spared no effort and carefully planned everything for Marshall.
Upon hearing these words, Withal chuckled lightly.
Zobber was somewhat displeased by this laughter and glared at Withal threateningly. âWhy are you laughing for no reason? Be careful. Iâll make you lose your voice!â
Seeing her threatening to hit him, Withal hurriedly begged for mercy.
âMadam, I am not laughing at you. Donât you know what kind of a person Catherine is? Professor Hartley genuinely cares for Catherine, and when has Catherine ever mistreated anyone who has genuinely cared for her?â Everyone present knew what Withal meant when he said that.
The reason why they respected Catherine so much was not only because of her strong abilities, which deserved their obedience.
It was also because of Catherineâs kindness toward them. As long as someone was taken under Catherineâs protection, she would do everything to protect them.
Catherine had too many advantages, the greatest of which was protecting her subordinates.
Despite her cold and ruthless appearance, once she considered someone a part of her inner circle, she would fiercely protect him without hesitation.
Withalâs words left Zobber somewhat speechless. After a while, she slowly uttered a sentence, âMarshall is really lucky to have met Catherine!â
Ronin joked with her, âYouâre quite lucky too!â
Zobber was not at all angry but rather fully agreed, âYes, it is my greatest fortune to have met Catherine!â
It was a simple sentence, yet it deeply resonated in the hearts of those present. In their hearts, they all felt that meeting Catherine was their greatest blessing.
Catherine arrived at the conference room, where the team members of the laboratory had already assembled.
At the moment the big door opened, a loud âBangâ sounded.
Champagne and fireworks filled the air as everyone watched Catherine with smiles on their faces.
Eamon walked out with flowers and respectfully presented them to Catherine. âLet your applause fill the room as we welcome our Catherine to the stage!â
Catherine calmly took the bouquet and looked at the crowd with a calm expression.
Then she turned her gaze to Marshall, using her eyes to ask him what exactly was going on.
Marshall casually shrugged, showing a nonchalant attitude. âDo not look at me. This is the love and care from your senior brothers and sisters for you!â
Eamon immediately jumped out and exclaimed exaggeratedly, âThatâs right, Catherine, this is our respect for you. Catherine, your ability is too strong!â
If there were any doubts the team had about Catherine before, they seemed to have completely disappeared after this experiment.
Catherine was so powerful that even Marshall, who was her mentor, couldnât help but feel inadequate. Let alone the others.
For Catherine, they only had a sense of admiration. âCatherine, please come to the stage and say a few words for us!â
Catherine was pushed onto the stage by someone, hands in her pockets, looking relaxed and casual.
Regardless of the size of the occasion, it seemed that Catherine didnât take it seriously.
Perhaps this was the true mark of a strong person.
âThis time, we have only achieved victory in the first round. The road ahead is long. Letâs work hard together! âCatherineâs words were particularly brief. For the onlookers, it could be considered the first time they had heard their cold and withdrawn junior sister say such a long sentence.
Everyone was very satisfied in their hearts, and they no longer made things difficult for Catherine.
Shortly after, Marshall spoke a few more words and then opened the meeting room to everyone, allowing everyone to enjoy the celebration to the fullest.
Catherine felt indifferent towards such lively occasions. She originally thought that Marshall asked her to come for a meeting, but she didnât expect it to be a celebration for the senior brothers and sisters.
She sat for a while and then got up to leave.
Just as she walked out of the meeting room, she ran into Fergus Lynch and his team.
Like them, Professor Lynchâs team also smoothly advanced to the next round of the competition in the first round of matches.
Upon seeing Catherine, Fergus took the initiative to greet her. âOh, Catherine. I havenât congratulated you yet. You guys have advanced!â
Catherine quietly said, âThank you,â when she saw Fergus.
After finishing speaking, she just walked away directly.
Standing next to Fergus, Paddy saw this scene and immediately shouted in dissatisfaction, âWhatâs with the arrogance? Winning one game and acting like youâre on top of the world?â
âPaddy, you are not allowed to speak like that. We are all from the same school, and it wouldnât look good if this got out, would it?â said Fergus.
Hearing Fergusâs criticism, Paddy was extremely displeased. âProfessor, I canât stand her attitude towards you. She is really disrespectful!â
âItâs okay,â Fergus said lightly, but the smile at the corner of his eyes gradually disappeared.
