Chapter 689 Real Purpose

The interrogation room was so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard. Lorcan, with a bewildered expression, gazed in Catherine’s direction. When Catherine looked up and noticed him, he immediately lowered his head, avoiding eye contact with her.

Rian, standing nearby, couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon noticing this. It was the first time he had seen Lorcan behave in such a manner. He never expected Lorcan, who was always fearless, to be so cautious.

“Hey, Lorcan, why didn’t you say hello to your idol? Weren’t you always talking about meeting your idol and wanting to learn from her? Why the hesitation now?” Rian teased.

Lorcan glared at Rian, clearly displeased with his mocking words. “If you have nothing useful to say, can’t you just keep quiet for a moment?”

Seeing Lorcan blushing with embarrassment, Rian felt a sense of satisfaction and didn’t argue with hìm.

Rian made a cup of coffee for Catherine. “Catherine, what’s going on? You graduated with a Ph.D. years ago, so why did you return to study at Styre University?” If he remembered correctly, when he worked with Catherine, she was already pursuing her Ph.D. So why would she return to undergraduate studies now?

Catherine just smiled faintly. “Just for fun.”

Rian lowered his head and fell silent momentarily, understanding the meaning behind Catherine’s words. A genius like her had experiences vastly different from those of ordinary people. The hard work and studying normal children had to go through was nothing difficult for her. Having gotten a Ph.D. at the age of fourteen and even completing her studies at the university in just three months, she. had never experienced the typical college life.

Having finished her studies in the shortest time possible, she had missed out on some of the experiences that others took over a decade to complete. Now, she was retracing her steps to appreciate what she had missed. After all, the affairs of a genius were of little concern to ordinary people.
