After the final run-through, Catherine saved the data and left the lab.She stared at Rodge and Scott calmly as she said casually, "Simulation is done, and data is saved. Double-check it, and feel free to reach out if there's an issue.""Is that it?" Scott exclaimed in surprise, with his mouth wide open.Catherine raised an eyebrow. She lowered her head and shot him a quick glance. "What did you expect?""Chief, last time, Rodge and I pulled all-nighters for a week to run a single simulation. Chief, you managed to finish it in less than two hours..."Scott was truly taken aback by Catherine's skills. They said that seeing was believing.He had heard about Catherine's prowess and how she was rumored to be a genius in her field.However, it was all hearsay, and he had never experienced it firsthand. He had no idea of Catherine's skills.Now, having witnessed it with his own eyes, he finally understood why Catherine was considered a genius in the intellectual community.As Scott
Catherine stepped out of the neighborhood and spotted a black car waiting at the side.Branden was not sitting in the car. He leaned against it and waited for her.As she appeared, Branden took the initiative to approach.They were just a step apart when Branden reached out and naturally took Catherine's hand.As their hands intertwined, Branden frowned. He asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong? Your hand is so cold."Before Catherine could respond, Branden gently pulled her hand into his embrace and warmed it with his own body heat."Come. Let's get in the car and warm up a bit."In reality, Catherine wasn't actually cold. Her hand was icy from the two hours she had spent in the lab operating machinery without a break.Once inside the car, Branden instructed Paxton, who was seated in the front. He said, "Increase the car's temperature."Thanks to the car's excellent performance, the interior temperature rose within seconds.Catherine had just endured two hours of high-inten
Audrey's confrontation made those reporters think twice about causing a scene.Taking the opportunity, Kim led Audrey away from the media frenzy. As soon as they got into the car, Kim couldn't help but scold Audrey."I told you not to act impulsively. Why didn't you listen?"You've just offended all those reporters, and no one will speak well of you in the future."In the entertainment industry, the last people one wanted to offend were the reporters.Their pens were like swords. They could make or break a person's reputation.Reporters didn't solely depend on celebrities for their livelihood. It was a mutually beneficial relationship.They liked fish and water, and they were inseparable from each other.Audrey held onto one reporter publicly. If they all teamed up against her, her path in the industry would become treacherous.In the face of Kim's scolding, Audrey maintained a humble demeanor, but she didn't regret it this time.When those reporters criticized her, she could
Catherine had just opened her Twitter when she was bombarded by a barrage of mocking comments from netizens.Catherine once claimed on a variety show while accompanying Audrey that she would never venture into the entertainment industry.Now, Catherine was being dragged into the spotlight, with many netizens accusing her of having a burning desire for fame.Some even started a trending topic on Twitter, demanding a vote to kick Catherine out of the competition. They believed that someone like Catherine didn't deserve to be part of the competition team, let alone have the qualifications to win.Apart from some objective commenters, there were also a bunch of bored keyboard warriors. They vented their frustrations under Catherine's tweet with a barrage of insults and curses.After Branden glanced at it, his expression darkened instantly.He reached out to take Catherine's phone from her hand. "Don't look at that. How about some late-night snacks?Although late-night snacks were no
In Oceanvile, Catherine came across several high-profile figures on Twitter, all with verified accounts.One of them was a renowned music producer who had posted a tweet garnering a lot of likes and followers on Twitter."The music industry has seen better days than a decade ago, but we're still working hard. Let's not bring negative influences into the music industry and tarnish the last traces of purity in this circle!"Although he didn't directly mention Catherine on Twitter, he had previously liked a post from a popular blogger who criticized Catherine. It didn't take much guessing to figure out who he was referring to.A group of fans joined in. They passionately supported his views and added their own criticism of Catherine.Branden glanced at the man's Twitter profile and immediately provided Catherine with background information."He is from the Hazels in Oceanvile. He has a niece participating in the competition."With the last name Hazel, she participated in the same c
Catherine originally planned to put down her phone and take a break. Then, she received a message from Ronin.[Catherine, Grayson just tweeted. Take a look!]Upon seeing the message, Catherine opened Twitter.She didn't have to search. Grayson's tweet was already at the top of her feed.She clicked on it. Then, she saw Grayson's tweet.Grayson's Twitter handle was simple. It was just Grayson Clifford. Ten minutes ago, he posted a long tweet with two pictures.Grayson posted the tweet. "That year, we were both eight years old. Thank you for bringing me back to the real world."The first picture showed an adoption certificate with Vicente as the adoptive parent.The second picture featured two children. The boy looked handsome, and the girl, though incredibly beautiful, had a hint of an awe-inspiring and dashing aura.Grayson's fans all knew Grayson didn't have a family.From rags to riches, Grayson had achieved everything through his own hard work, with no one's help.But wha
The next day, when Ronin woke up, he found a video on his phone.He was originally pondering who had such great capabilities to send a video to his phone without being in his contacts.However, he didn't plan to investigate the sender after he started the video. He just wanted to thank this kind person.Now that the rumors about Catherine's cheating had been cleared up online, those who had once insulted Catherine had realized the fact.But this wasn't enough. They hadn't caught the real mastermind yet.The timing of the video was perfect. It was taken from a dimly lit area behind the stage with a surveillance camera.Although the video was a bit blurry and the lighting was low, he could still make out the contents of the video.Most importantly, the person hiding behind the curtain was also captured on video.The video was somewhat unclear, and it would be hard for anyone who wasn't familiar with the person to recognize her.But that outfit was too distinctive, and Ronin reco
On that afternoon, the results of the competition were announced.Catherine's team won the championship as expected. Their group had consistently received the highest scores from the judges.Following this, there was a Twitter frenzy for the entire day. Grayson's fans went crazy voting for Catherine's team.The casual observers misunderstood Catherine due to this incident.To show their remorse to Catherine, they cast all their votes for Catherine's group.Catherine's team won by a landslide, with nearly double the votes of the second-place team. There was no doubt about their victory.At the moment the results were revealed, Yesenia was the first to express her congratulations to the three of them in the group chat.However, the three of them, being the ones directly involved, remained calm and composed.For Catherine, the outcome wasn't a surprise.She had participated in the competition out of respect for their homeroom teacher.The homeroom teacher had always been support
