All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 669 The Ward

With Shane’s prompting, someone eagerly passed the microphone to Catherine. Without hesitation, Catherine confidently reached for the microphone and shared her thoughts on the earlier question.

Her viewpoint was fresh. She offered unique insights peppered with professional jargon, which left the students from the economics department in the audience wide-eyed and impressed.

As a student from the EIE department, she responded to an economics query more astutely than those who had been studying in the economics department for years.

Those who had initially anticipated amusement found themselves deeply impressed by Catherine. They thought Catherine was a genius who could excel outside her field with remarkable achievements.

Catherine succinctly finished speaking and set the microphone down.

On the stage, Shane voluntarily applauded Catherine. Soon after, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. It was a testament to their admiration for Catherine. Her insights garnered such appreciation.

As the applause gradually died down, Shane raised the microphone once more. “From the applause I’ve heard, it’s clear we all resonate with Catherine’s insights. Like you, I agree with her. In my entire teaching career, there’s only been one student. She is so outstanding that it made me very proud. And that student is right here among us today. She is Catherine Swann.”

The room erupted into a buzz. Everyone understood Shane’s significance. To be his sole student was an incredible honor, and it was evident that Catherine was destined to be a leading figure in the field of economics.

Nobody expected this person to be Catherine, nor did they anticipate her belonging to Styre University’s EIE department instead of the economics department.

Even Ultan, who sat beside Catherine, was surprised. He wondered what kind of prodigy their institution had acquired. Catherine seemed to have connections with many prominent figures.

As the meeting adjourned, Catherine’s name once again dominated the school forum’s hot topics, and she was widely discussed.

However, Catherine herself appeared unfazed, as if nothing extraordinary had occurred during the meeting. As soon as it concluded, she rose from her seat and exited the room.

As she stepped out of the elevator, she encountered Shane coming down the stairs. He looked at her with a gentle smile. “Care for a cup of coffee?”
