All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 685 In Cahoots

The news of Catherine’s return to the laboratory quickly spread throughout the entire building. No one had expected her to come back.

However, just because the members of Marshall’s research group had no objections didn’t mean that members from other research groups wouldn’t cause trouble. In about half an hour, several people from different laboratories joined forces and gathered at Marshall’s research group’s laboratory entrance.

Leading these people was Paddy McLaughlin, a senior from the neighboring biology department. Their research project had always been one of the hottest projects at the school, second only to Marshall’s project, which they had long been dissatisfied with. However, due to Marshall’s reputation and the fact that their professor wasn’t one to seek fame, they had refrained from causing a scene.

But this time, they couldn’t hold back. They incited several members from other laboratories to unite and confront Marshall’s research group.

The commotion outside caught the attention of the members of Marshall’s research group. Upon hearing the news, Ciaran went out to check what was going on, and the rest of the group followed suit. However, Catherine remained calm, sitting at her desk and working on her experimental data.

As Ciaran stepped outside, he saw the crowd blocking the doorway, their expressions particularly grim. To avoid a conflict, he suppressed his anger and calmly addressed the group. “Why is everyone gathered here? Aren’t you guys busy?”
