Chapter 57 Apology
Catherine’s sudden remark left everyone curious about her intentions, but they were too apprehensive
to inquire.
Her imposing presence and aura made people hesitant to approach or provoke her, leaving them
powerless.
As Catherine took a step forward, the students of Class 8 instinctively recoiled, clearing a path for her
to approach someone in the room.
It was no secret that Catherine’s target was Liana, and even Liana herself was well aware of it.
Liana’s eyes filled with panic as she watched Catherine draw nearer, unable to control the trembling of
her fingers.
Catherine’s cold, icy gaze pierced through Liana’s heart, exuding danger and aggression, creating an
overwhelming sense of pressure.
Liana grew increasingly anxious, struggling to steady herself.
After all, Catherine was just an unwelcome girl from the countryside, and there was no reason to fear
her.
After a moment of self-assurance, Liana mustered the courage to speak. “What do you want?” she
asked Catherine.
“What do I want? Haha…” Catherine sneered, blinking her eyes and casting a casual glance at
Liana.
Though seemingly indifferent, Liana felt weak in the legs and almost lost her balance.
“Liana, you owe me an apology!” Catherine calmly declared, her expression still drowsy.
Immediately, Bryan and David chimed in, voicing their support for Catherine.
“Yes, you need to apologize to Catherine!”
Bryan’s cold gaze fixed upon Liana. While everyone in their grade regarded her as the most beautiful
girl, he couldn’t stand her, perceiving her as fake and pretentious. She had slandered Catherine today,

arrogantly, and had no intention of showing her respect.
“Liana, even the math teacher has apologized. It’s in your best interest to make the right choice and
apologize to Catherine now.”
Anger trembled through Liana as she heard her classmates’ words. She couldn’t comprehend why
everyone seemed to be siding with Catherine.
Since Catherine’s arrival, everything had changed. Her world had turned upside down, and
nothing remained the same.
With reddened eyes and a stubborn expression, she appeared deeply wronged, like a helpless stray
puppy.
“What did I do wrong? Why should I apologize to her? You’re all teaming up and threatening me! Is this
what school is supposed to be like?”
Catherine raised an eyebrow, sizing up Liana from head to toe, surprised that this girl possessed
enough wit to resort to such underhanded tactics.
But would these tricks work?
Catherine had no interest in explaining further. If Liana hadn’t crossed her path and behaved herself,
Catherine wouldn’t have minded letting her continue her carefree life as Miss Swann. After all,
Catherine cared little for titles.
However, if Liana persisted in creating disturbances that irritated her, she might have to teach her a
lesson.
Catherine’s delicate eyes revealed a touch of coldness as she stared emotionlessly at Liana. Apologize
or drop out of school. It’s your choice,” she said.
Many people present felt that Catherine had gone too far.
Liana had made a mistake, but forcing her to drop out seemed excessive.
However, though many students seethed with anger, they didn’t dare voice their opinions, fearing
Catherine’s wrath.
Liana could feel everyone’s gaze upon her, and embarrassment consumed her. She didn’t want to
apologize, but she sensed that Catherine wouldn’t easily let this matter go.
Unless she apologized, Catherine would continue to make her life difficult.
With the realization that Catherine had become the chairperson and even her father couldn’t control
her, Liana suddenly felt a twinge of fear.
Could Catherine truly be this influential? Doubts began to cloud her mind.
Observing the unfolding situation, the homeroom teacher knew intervention was necessary.” I now
understand the situation. Liana, you wrongly accused Catherine and thought she was lying. It’s only
right for you to apologize to Catherine now,” she said.
Liana’s earlier demeanor had been arrogant, and she had even dared to question the homeroom
teacher’s words, raising her voice. Not only Catherine, but even the homeroom teacher herself was
displeased.
The homeroom teacher’s words presented an opportunity for Liana to save face. After she spoke,
Liana offered a tearful, soft apology, revealing her sense of injustice.
“Okay, I apologize to Catherine. I was wrong and misunderstood her.”
“Is this enough, Catherine?” When she looked at Catherine, her expression appeared wronged and
sad. Still, her eyes were as evil as a snake, as if she wanted to tear Catherine into pieces.
Catherine approached her slowly, leaning in slightly, and whispered in a voice only they could hear, “I
know you don’t believe what you’re saying.”
Catherine paused, her tone firm as she continued, “Nevertheless, you have no choice but to apologize
to me.”
After uttering those words, Catherine distanced herself, took a step back, crossed her arms, and
regarded Liana with cold eyes full of disdain and contempt.
Liana’s face turned red, and she trembled with fury.
“Alright, everyone, return to your seats. It’s time for class!”
With the homeroom teacher’s intervention, the chaotic drama finally subsided.
Catherine returned to her seat, adjusted herself slightly, and dozed off once again.

Witnessing her graceful posture, Bryan, seated beside her, felt a profound admiration. He held
immense respect for Catherine, realizing that from now on, nobody should disturb her precious sleep.
He understood that Catherine cherished her sleep and detested being disturbed.
Anyone who disrupted her rest would have to contend with Bryan.
The incident had disrupted the class for a significant portion of the period. The remaining half of the
math class was canceled, and the teacher allowed the students to study independently.
After a few minutes, the break began. Bryan, David, and their friends issued a decree to the
students of Class 8.
Henceforth, the class must remain silent during breaks, and Bryan would address anyone causing a
disturbance.
No student at Sincere Highschool dared to cross Bryan, so onlookers were astonished as they passed
by Class 8.
Even during break time, Class 8 remained as quiet as a ghost town, as if no one was present.
Passersby were puzzled by this unusual scene.
Class 8 truly lived up to its reputation as the top class in the grade, the crème de la crème. With such
dedication to learning, it was no wonder Class 8 ranked first.
Catherine slept through the entire class, awakening only when the final bell rang, as though triggered
by an alarm clock.
Bryan noticed her waking up and kindly offered her a warm water bottle,
“Catherine, this is my new water bottle. It’s been sterilized, and the water temperature is maintained at
55 degrees Celsius, which is optimal for the throat. I thought you might be thirsty after waking up.
Please, have some.”
Catherine glanced at him, her face expressionless. Though she recognized Bryan’s attempt to please
her, she maintained her cold and distant demeanor.
However, she reached out and accepted the water bottle from Bryan’s hand. Taking a slow sip, she
found the water refreshing. This guy was considerate.
Seeing that she didn’t frown, Bryan sensed she was in a good mood and took the opportunity to share
his thoughts.
“Catherine, can I call you Boss?”
