All Her Secrets

Chapter 711 Break Your Legs

The plane flew for a whole 12 hours and safely landed early the next morning. Although the school authorities had arranged the best business class for this trip, the long hours of sitting had left them with severe backaches and sore waists.

Catherine descended from the plane with an air of elegance, her hands empty and tucked into her pockets.

Marshall teased, “Catherine, I’ve already minimized my luggage to a single box. How come you brought nothing with you? The hotel doesn’t have everything you need, you know.”

Fergus chuckled and interjected, ” Young people are different from us old folks who have to bring everything. They can solve everything with money. Why burden themselves with a heap of luggage?”

Marshall shook his head, unyielding. ” This is Alton, not our home. There are things that money can’t buy, aren’t there?”

Amelia, who had come along with the group, raised her suitcase in front of Marshall. “Professor Hartley, I share a dorm with Catherine, and all her essentials are with me!”

“Good, let’s go. We’re off to the hotel,” Marshall said, nodding in agreement. ” It’s a good thing that Catherine can focus on the competition,” he thought.

Amelia served as Catherine’s assistant in the laboratory. Catherine had specifically arranged for her to join them. When Amelia found out she could go with them, she was so ecstatic. Shortly after, she packed her things and cheerfully set off with Catherine.

Marshall’s research team members didn’t seem to mind, as Amelia had always been with them. Despite her limited knowledge and qualifications not reaching the level of a researcher, Amelia’s cheerful and helpful nature made everyone like her. They all agreed that she was more of an assistant to the whole research team than to Catherine.

However, the agreement of Marshall’s team did not mean that other groups were without objections. Bringing along a freshman like Catherine was barely acceptable, given that she was Marshall’s acknowledged favorite student. But now, Catherine brought her roommate here, which they thought was inappropriate.

Paddy stood to the side, rolling his eyes. He couldn’t stand such nepotism. It was bad enough that she used connections, but she seemed to want everybody to know that she had used a backdoor way to bring her roommate with her.
