All Her Secrets

Chapter 718 Always in Second Place

The next day, the competition officially began. Due to the spread of various rumors, many people were pessimistic about Marshall’s team, believing that they were bound to lose.

Before the competition started, the odds for betting on the outcome had already soared to 1 to 30, with almost no one believing that Marshall’s team would win. In order to earn more money, some unscrupulous haters spread rumors about Catherine, even going as far as to say that she only became a researcher in the laboratory through personal connections.

Marshall led his team to the entrance of the sealed laboratory. He personally ushered each of his students into the laboratory. When he saw Catherine, who was walking at the back, he gently patted her shoulder. “Don’t worry. Just believe that you are the best,” he said earnestly.

Faced with Marshall’s sincere advice, Catherine remained indifferent. Used to her temperament, Marshall didn’t mind. “Remember, you don’t need to worry too much. Just follow your heart, ” he said.

“Okay,” Catherine responded.

Her rare response brought a noticeable smile to Marshall’s face. For him, his team’s rankings were unimportant as long as his students did their best.

The competition’s task was a specific experimental project, requiring the students to design a set of chips within three hours. The chips’ functionality had to comply fully with the competition’s regulations.

The task was only revealed after the two teams entered the sealed laboratory. Many people were dumbfounded when they saw it.

Several professors from Styre University were also shocked. “Why is the task so difficult?” they exclaimed.

Marshall furrowed his brow and unconsciously pushed the frame of his glasses. “They’re giving us such a
