Chapter 41
In the afternoon, after Catherine returned to her class.
The class quieted down immediately. It was even quieter than when the homeroom teacher arrived.
Everyone had their eyes fixed on Catherine. Some of them looked surprised, some disdainful, and some were once again mesmerized by Catherine’s beauty.
Despite being the focus of everyone’s attention, Catherine acted as if nothing was wrong and went back to her seat.
As she sat down, the discussions around her started again.
“How is she still here? Didn’t Bryan teach her a lesson? I heard that no girl could live to see tomorrow in the classroom after approaching Bryan. Even though it has only been a morning, isn’t it more than enough for Bryan to make her disappear already?”
“Who knows? Maybe she is skillful in her own way. I heard that she carries a curse and is a jinx herself. Her own family abandoned her since she was just a child.”
“Shut up! Don’t let Catherine hear you. I heard she’s tough and a great fighter for growing up in the countryside. She joined Class 8 even though she was never in school. Can you really afford to offend her?”
At this reminder, the two girls immediately lowered their voices to continue their discussion.
However, the news that Catherine was never in school and came from the countryside had already spread in the class.
After walking into the classroom, Liana was shocked to see Catherine in her seat, looking unscathed. Liana’s face paled immediately.
How could she be here? Wasn’t she…
Before Liana could understand what was going on, Catherine raised her head and looked in her direction.
Her eyes were cold and sharp!
Liana dared not look her in the eye and subconsciously lowered her head to avoid Catherine’s gaze.
Her heart was hammering. As she returned to her seat, she took out her phone immediately to contact the gang.
She was desperate to know why Catherine was still here, safe and sound.
Didn’t she arrange for a gang to attack Catherine so that she would be so intimidated to quit school? What was going on?
However, Liana received no reply to her texts.
Catherine’s eyes fell lightly on Liana. She had seen every change in emotion on Liana’s face,
from being shocked at first to being helpless later. Catherine couldn’t help but find it somewhat interesting.
She hadn’t done anything to her, yet Liana was already scared out of her wits!
She was such a paper tiger.
At the ring of the bell, Bryan led David and the others into the classroom.
Everyone in Class 8 was used to seeing Bryan entering the classroom only at the last minute.
In fact, it would be strange to see Bryan here before the bell rang.
Bryan was the star of attention no matter where he went in Loyalty Academy.
Now, everyone turned their attention to Bryan as they knew that Bryan did not like to be around girls, especially those wanting to approach him.
Catherine must have used some trick to be arranged to sit next to Bryan. Bryan would surely give a girl like her hell.
Therefore, everyone was waiting to see what Bryan would do to Catherine, who thought too highly of herself.
Even Liana was aware of Bryan’s bad temper. She was also curious to see what Bryan would do
to Catherine.
Bryan walked up to Catherine as expected.
His group of friends, including David, didn’t return to their seats but accompanied Bryan to the last row of the classroom.
He made such a presence!
Some students were already covering their faces with their books. They were afraid of being involved in the fight that was indeed brewing.
As everyone watched Bryan move, they also kept a close eye on Catherine’s reaction.
However, they saw that Catherine’s face remained cold and indifferent from the beginning. It was as if everything that was going on around her had nothing to do with her.
Some even thought that Catherine must be stupid for not fleeing in the face of trouble.
A boy commented in a whisper, “She is definitely pretty, but it’s a pity that she’s stupid. How can she not run away?”
Liana heard this and couldn’t help but smile. She was waiting to see Bryan teaching Catherine a lesson.
Bryan walked up next to Catherine and studied her at a glance.
Even though he had only taken a glance at her, he felt his blood boiling as though something was going to burst out of his body.
He spoke with difficulty in a slightly hoarse voice, “Catherine!”
At first, Catherine didn’t plan to respond to him. She only turned to look at him slowly after Bryan called her name,
Her cold but somewhat creepy eyes fell slowly on Bryan. With a brow raised, she asked him with a look as though saying, “What is it?”
She was stunningly beautiful with such cold eyes. Bryan was immediately mesmerized and forgot to say what was on the tip of his tongue.
He only snapped out of his daze when David, who was behind him, gave him a nudge.
Then, Bryan did something that left the whole class in shock!
He bowed to Catherine. As he did so, David and the others bowed to Catherine too.
Holy shit!
This was definitely the most breaking news of Loyalty Academy this year!
The famous Bryan actually bowed to a new student.
Everyone was stunned. Their eyes widened as if they would pop out any second now.
Catherine, on the other hand, looked at Bryan calmly. It was as if what he did was nothing to her.
Bryan looked up at Catherine with a serious expression.
“Catherine, can we be friends?”
A series of gasps and whispers rang in the classroom immediately. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Oh, my god. Did Bryan bow to Catherine proactively, only to be her friend?”
“Has Bryan gone mad?”
What was so special about Catherine that made Bryan treat her like this?
It was magical!
Everyone, including Bryan, was waiting for Catherine’s reaction.
Nobody imagined that Bryan would do something like this to Catherine. However, Catherine
continued to look cold and arrogant.
Catherine remained calm after knowing what Bryan wanted. She was not influenced by him at all.
Not to mention being flustered because Bryan wanted to be her friend.
She only looked coldly at Bryan, then spoke calmly, “I’m not in the habit of making friends!”
The whole class thought that Catherine must be mad!
Nobody knew what was wrong with Bryan today to ask Catherine to be his friend proactively and so openly. It was almost as if he was buttering her up.
However, they found Catherine’s attitude even more unbelievable. One had to know that Bryan was so famous in Loyalty Academy because he had good grades, was good-looking, and came from a top family. Most importantly, he was a great fighter. It could be said that he was the best fighter in the Academy.
In the past, some hooligans came to bully a student from Loyalty Academy. Bryan stepped in and fought the five hooligans all at once. They were all sent to the hospital, while Bryan, alone, was unscathed.
Now, Catherine didn’t know better than to publicly refuse Bryan like this. Everyone believed that it was the end of her.
Even David, one of Bryan’s most loyal sidekicks, couldn’t help but worry for Catherine. She was doomed, as it was so scary when Bryan got mad.
