Chapter 709 Team-Building Excursion

Catherine glanced expressionlessly at Marshall. “Professor Hartley, just tell me what you need.”

Marshall turned and handed a document to Catherine. “The Bide Cup, held every four years in Alton, is about to begin.

This competition is important for the school, and the higher-ups also attach great importance to it. Mr. Farrell is under a lot of pressure.”

Ultan approached him to come up with a solution. As a teacher at Styre University, he didn’t want the school to lose face. And it was a fact that their team’s leak incident had brought a lot of negative publicity to Styre University.

Catherine understood Marshall’s meaning. She was not fond of participating in such competitions. For her, competitions were just a group of people playing a boring game.
