All Her Secrets

The people who cto 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 twithout 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 tto 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.

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
