All Her Secrets

Chapter 850 We May Not Necessarily Lose

Ultan sighed silently and said in a low voice, “I originally thought that Winston was sick. His wife personally asked me for leave for him, but I only realized that something had happened to Winston when I arranged for someone to check. His wife is the only one left in the house.”

Hearing this, Marshall couldn’t sit still. He immediately stood up and stared at Ultan with wide eyes. “Are you saying something happened to Winston?”

Ultan nodded silently. “Something should have happened to him. His wife wouldn’t say anything. We’ve been friends for so many years, and I dare not force her, I’ve arranged for someone to check it out. I hope nothing serious happens.”

Ultan’s face was grave, and the atmosphere of the scene tensed up. Winston’s sudden accident must have something to do with the lab.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

After thinking about these things, Marshall focused his attention on Catherine. “Catherine, what should we do now? Yesterday, when the computers in the lab went black for half an hour for no reason, I felt something was wrong. But I didn’t think much after I thought we had you and Winston as double insurance. I was really not expecting anything to happen to Winston.”

Now he was not only worried about the certification in front of him, and the leakage of the experimental data, but also the safety of his best friend, Winston.

Catherine didn’t show too much surprise when she heard the news of Winston’s accident, and the look on her face didn’t change too much.

Ultan and Marshall had long since gotten used to her calmness and had seen how calm she was when faced with severe tests, so they didn’t think there was any problem.

Catherine said, “Professor Hartley, don’t worry too much. Although the lab information was leaked, we may not necessarily lose.”

“We may not necessarily lose?” Marshall was very puzzled after hearing this. He looked Catherine up and down, trying to see something from her expression. “Catherine, what do you mean by that?”

Before Catherine could answer, there was a knock at the door.

Ultan went to open the door. The comer was a staff member of the certification organization, who came to notify them. “Mr. Farrell, I’m here to inform you that it’s time to go to the venue.”

Upon hearing that, Catherine stood up. “Professor Hartley, let’s go to the venue first.”

It looked like the result was coming out. Marshall realized that it was useless to talk more at this time, so he decided to go to the venue to wait for the result.

Except for Catherine whose expression remained the same, the other two showed great frustration, not as spirited as when they came.

After they walked into the main venue, they found that the atmosphere there was very solemn.

The certification president took the lab report submitted by Catherine and explained the basic situation, “Miss Swann, we have now finished examining the experiment report you provided. While there is nothing wrong with the report, it is too similar to the last report we received for us to endorse this report of yours.”

“What about the core part?” Catherine asked.

“While the core is indeed different, we discussed it and there is still no way we can certify your report. However, we discussed and decided to give your experimental group some more time. Because the experimental projects are the same, there are indeed similarities in the experimental reports. If you can give a new report that overlaps with this report by less than thirty percent within three days, we can give you the certified results.”

“Okay,” Catherine replied without hesitation as if she had already known that this would be the result.

Ultan and Marshall took a while to react.

They had originally thought that today was doomed to failure, but they never thought that there would actually be such a reversal.

Coming out of the venue, the two still didn’t react.

After they got on the bus arranged by the school, Ultan couldn’t help but ask Catherine, “What the hell is going on? Wasn’t our information leaked? Could it be that what the other party took wasn’t our lab’s information?”

Marshall wasn’t sure. This answer was only known to Catherine.

Facing their concerned eyes, Catherine responded calmly, “The leakage of information is true. It’s just I realized that there was an issue with the data and made some minor changes before I submitted it.”

Catherine’s exquisitely beautiful face exuded a faint smile. She was like the most eye-catching weapon in the world, sparkling and captivating.

Marshall and Ultan now looked at Catherine as if they were seeing light in the dark.

The minor changes Catherine made not only saved the lab but more importantly, preserved the century-old reputation of Styre University.

If they were accused of plagiarism, the reputation of Styre University would be over.

Although the suspicion of plagiarism was gone, Marshall was still not happy.

His face was full of frustration, and his voice was low. “It’s just a fantasy to reduce the overlap rate of experimental reports to below 30% within three days. 11

He wasn’t afraid if the experiment failed, and he wasn’t afraid if the experiment didn’t succeed. He just felt so frustrated, and at the same time, he felt sorry for Catherine.

He saw how hard Catherine worked.

Ultan patted Marshall’s shoulder and comforted him. “Marshall, although we have suffered a big setback this time, at least we haven’t reached the worst result at the moment. Don’t worry too much. Don’t put pressure on Catherine, We’ll just take our time and try harder.”

Ultan’s words woke Marshall up and he didn’t dare to say more for fear of Catherine’s worry.

Silence had been restored inside the bus, and Catherine leaned wearily to rest. Marshall and Ultan tacitly refrained from further discussion, creating a quiet environment for Catherine to rest.

The black-robed man sat in front of the screen, and it was the surveillance video from the certification organization that was being broadcast on the screen.

He didn’t expect that the original situation where Catherine was bound to lose would be reversed back by her in the end.

Finn, who was standing beside him, reacted instantly. He jumped down the steps and rushed to Ronin, holding a sharp object against Ronin’s neck.

He was about to kill Ronin. “Did you play any tricks?”

Facing the questioning, Ronin was very calm. He just laughed coldly and lightly without any extra expression on his face.

Such an attitude enraged Finn, who angrily roared, “Bastard, how dare you laugh? Believe it or not, I’ll kill you right now?”

“Haha, come on. Do it.” Ronin was not nervous at all, with a disdainful expression and a very arrogant attitude.

Such an attitude attracted the black- robed man’s attention. “Ronin, are you really not at all afraid that Finn will kill you?”

Hearing the black-robed man’s words, Ronin’s attitude changed a bit. “Sir, it’s not that I’m not afraid of death. It’s just that I didn’t do anything to betray you, so why would I be killed?”

“You didn’t do it?” Finn was instantly displeased and directly jumped out to angrily confront Ronin. “If it weren’t for you, Catherine would have lost long ago. How could the core information have been changed? It must have been you who secretly changed the contents when you took the information to us.”

Finn’s questioning made Ronin furious. “Are you brainless, or are you crazy? Do you think that was some random experiment that was set up easily for fun? You think I can freely modify the data and ensure that the experimental data is correct? You think it is easy to ensure the smooth completion of the experiment after modifying the data? Do you think I’m a genius? You know what kind of person Catherine is?”

Ronin’s roar made Finn very angry. He felt insulted by Ronin and intended to kill him directly. He wanted Ronin to die.
