All Her Secrets

Chapter 738 The Finals

The highly anticipated Bide Cup finals finally kicked off, and the reigning champion for several consecutive seasons, Ace Team from Alton, arrived at the hotel for the event.

This time, Atticus led the team. He had recently gained fame in Alton for several groundbreaking research projects. Despite being a guiding professor at Ellinos Academy, he was surprisingly expelled from the institution some time ago.

Just when everyone thought Atticus might be down for the count, he rose back up with a few genius-level research projects that caused a sensation in the industry. He caught the attention of the backers behind the Ace Team and swiftly transitioned to become the mentor of the Ace Team.

The industry held high hopes for this new mentor. Their confidence in him mirrored their confidence in today’s competition. Whether it was the expert judges or the spectators watching the matches, everyone unanimously believed that the Ace Team would continue their championship streak.

Despite the impressive showings of the Styre Team in the past two rounds, they were merely compared to regular teams. Those teams didn’t stand a chance against the Ace Team.

Everyone knew the Ace Team’s prowess, and there was hardly any doubt about their potential victory. The Styre Team might have had luck on their side in the previous two rounds, but they wouldn’t have the same fortune this time.

As the chair of the competition, Richard went through his routine of visiting each team’s resting area before the final match. As he entered the Styre Team’s lounge, he unexpectedly came across Catherine. Unlike others nervously reviewing, Catherine sat quietly in a corner. Her small face was covered by a peaked cap, making it impossible to discern her features.

Even though the news was kept under wraps, as the chair, Richard still got wind of what happened within the competition grounds. He knew Catherine had been poisoned by a student from Styre University, which led to her absence during the second round.

He had presumed Catherine would continue to be absent from the finals. After all, he heard she had been staying in the hospital and only woke up two days ago. However, she was back at the venue now. Indeed, anything seemed possible when it came to Catherine.
