Chapter 117 The New Student

As Catherine entered the school, she was met with numerous curious gazes. That reality show was top-rated now. So a lot of people knew that Catherine had participated in the show. Their impression of her had changed quite a bit. It turned out that Catherine was like this in private and was really good at playing games.

With her confident demeanor and charming big-sister vibe, Catherine was a hit among the girls.

Initially, everyone thought Catherine had a problematic personality. In their view, she was cold and even a bit pretentious. But after seeing Catherine on the show, they realized she was not what they thought. She was just genuinely not interested in socializing. And it was not an act.

As for the attention from those around her, Catherine didn’t pay it any mind. After entering the classroom, Catherine kept a composed face. She took confident strides and looked straight ahead as she walked to her seat.

But as soon as she sat down, Bryan rushed over. His face was full of excitement as he looked at her. “Boss, how did you decide to join the reality show without even telling me?” he exclaimed. Bryan sounded a bit aggrieved.

Catherine remained calm. She raised an eyebrow and gave him a sidelong glance. “You found out on your own, didn’t you?”

Bryan retorted. “That’s not the point!”

Bryan thought inwardly, “How can that be the same?” For Bryan, hearing about it directly from Catherine was completely different from discovering it on his own or receiving a report from David.

If Catherine had told him herself, it would authenticate Bryan’s status in her eyes. Naturally, it would be different.

Catherine couldn’t be bothered with Bryan. She felt a bit tired because she had helped with a project for Ronin the previous night. And it kept her up late. Now she was a little weary. “Fine. I’ll let you know next time.”

With that, Catherine laid her head down on the table to sleep. Though her response was somewhat dismissive, it was quite satisfying for Bryan. At least Catherine talked to him.

That was enough. Seeing Bryan’s contented smile, David and the others felt slightly disdainful. Ever since the arrival of Catherine, Bryan had changed.

The current Bryan wasn’t the same as before. Bryan had become Catherine’s lackey. Bryan turned around and coincidentally caught David and the others’ gaze. He witnessed the thick mockery they didn’t manage to conceal in time.

Bryan sneered with a disdainful look, 11 Well. You’re just jealous of me. Got it?” David and the others felt indignant and couldn’t help but retort, “Jealous of you for what?”

“Then let me ask you. Can you guys get any attention from Boss when you talk to her?

With a triumphantly raised eyebrow, Bryan looked at them. After David and the others thought for a moment, they conceded defeat. Seeing their initially confident demeanor crumble, Bryan secretly relished the moment.

The joy of basking in Catherine’s protection and relaxing was truly remarkable for Bryan. With Catherine around, Bryan’s days were indeed happy.

Seeing the satisfied smile on Bryan’s face, David and the others felt a mix of mockery and envy. But they had no way to compete. They were not as handsome as Bryan, and their ability to please was not as strong as his. It was a tragic situation. When the bell rang, all the students returned to their seats.

The homeroom teacher taught the first class. As soon as the homeroom teacher entered the room and stood at the front, she announced something to the class. She said, “Class, we have a new student joining us today. Let’s welcome him with applause.”

The entire class was surprised. Catherine had just transferred not long ago, and now there was another new student. They thought inwardly, “Is Class 8 really that easy to get into?”

In the next moment, their attention was drawn. Guided by the principal, a boy wearing a black T-shirt entered the classroom.

The students thought inwardly, “What a background! The principal personally brought him in.” With a cheerful smile, the principal led the boy in and said, “Ronin, introduce yourself to everyone.”

The boy had been keeping his head down. He slowly raised his head upon hearing the principal’s instruction. He was fair-skinned, even fairer than some girls. He had great skin that seemed translucent enough to see veins underneath.

Unfortunately, his face wasn’t that impressive. He had a big bowl hairdo with thick, heavy bangs. Although his face wasn’t big, those oversized black glasses covered a significant portion.

His overall appearance was quite plain. And he had a typical nerd look. He looked up and introduced himself in a low voice, “Hello, everyone. I’m Ronin Oconnor, the new transfer student.”

With that, he lowered his head again. He appeared quite shy. But this kind of student was very much favored by the principal. The principal had come out to introduce him personally.

The principal said, “Ronin is this year’s national math competition champion. He is an outstanding student. His ability to join and become a part of our school is remarkable. Let’s give him a round of applause!”

No wonder the principal personally welcomed him. It turned out he was a top student. Now everyone was no longer in doubt.

Although their school was private, this institution placed great emphasis on academic performance. Truly exceptional students with excellent grades could easily get in, but they must be among the top.

The principal finished his introduction and left. The homeroom teacher was exceptionally courteous since Ronin was a student the principal personally brought in. “Ronin, where would you like to sit?”

Ronin looked up suddenly. He extended his hand and pointed to an empty seat without hesitation. He asked the homeroom teacher, “Can I sit there?”

Once it was confirmed where Ronin wanted to sit, everyone was stunned. No one had expected that Ronin would want to sit in Bryan’s seat, and even the homeroom teacher was momentarily taken aback.

Initially, Bryan had no interest in the new arrival. But now that everyone’s attention was on Bryan, he lifted his head and looked toward Ronin.

Bryan’s fierce gaze carried a challenging dominance. Despite Bryan evolving into a lackey, he was still immensely intimidating when he got angry.

The moment Bryan lifted his head, the entire class felt a shift in the atmosphere. The others remained silent and watched the intense gaze lock between the two. Even the homeroom teacher found it a bit strange. She thought inwardly, 11 Ronin seems gentle. But why does he choose Bryan’s seat?”

She tried to persuade Ronin. She said, ” Ronin, that seat is already taken by another student. How about you choose a different seat?”

However, Ronin remained firm and looked at Bryan’s seat without saying a word. Bryan raised an eyebrow and looked at him with confidence and dominance, Bryan couldn’t believe that this newcomer dared to challenge him.

Bryan thought inwardly, “Who does he think I am?

“Does he think I am an easy target to be bullied?

“If he has the guts, he should try it.” As tensions escalated, the situation quickly turned into a deadlock. Even the homeroom teacher found it hard to mediate now.

On one side was Bryan, and on the other side was the new top student. It wouldn’t be wise to offend either. Just as everyone held their breaths, Catherine, who had been in a doze, suddenly woke up.

She slowly lifted her head and propped her chin on her hand. Then she looked toward the front of the class. As everyone knew, Bryan was now Catherine’s lackey. The others thought inwardly, “Since her lackey is being bullied, Catherine shouldn’t just stand by and do nothing.”

All eyes were on Catherine. They were waiting to see how Catherine would handle the new top student.

His Nanny Mate Chapter 249 By Eve Above Story

Chapter 249: Purpose Over Profit

Moana The months in between Michael going to prison and Daisy’s birth were a whirlwind of emotions and unexpected turns. After the incident with Michael, where he was sentenced to prison for his attempt on my life, my world took another astonishing twist. The news outlets revealed a shocking revelation: Moana, the seemingly ordinary girl who was raised in an orphanage, was, in fact, the legendary Golden Wolf. I never imagined my life could become so entangled in a web of fame and attention. Suddenly, everyone wanted a piece of me. All sorts of brands and non-governmental organizations bombarded me with invitations and tempting monetary offers. It was overwhelming, to say the least. My inbox was flooded with messages from high-profile companies and influential figures, all hoping to capitalize on my newfound fame. It felt like the world had changed overnight, and I struggled to comprehend the weight of it all. As the news continued to report on the outrageous offers I was receiving, doubt crept into the minds of many. People began questioning whether the Golden Wolf, the protector of nature and advocate for equality, would truly stay true to her purpose or succumb to the allure of money. These doubts lingered in my mind as well, threatening to pull me away from the path I had set for myself. In the midst of this chaos, I almost fell victim to a company that was particularly skilled in branding. They had a compelling narrative and seemed genuinely interested in making a positive impact on the world. At first, it was love at first sight. I was thrilled to have the chance to be involved with such a high profile company. However, as I delved deeper into their motives, it became evident that they were driven solely by profit. Their true intentions were masked by a cleverly crafted facade, and it took the guidance of my trusted companion, Edrick, to see through their deception. Edrick, ever the wise and discerning soul, helped me navigate through the sea of offers. Together, we carefully scrutinized each proposition, seeking the genuine ones from those that were merely seeking to exploit my fame. We rejected all those with insincere intentions, determined to stay true to our mission of making the world a more equitable place. It was a lot of work for a while, and a lot of late nights were spent sifting through mountains of proposal letters and applications. However, amidst all of the chaos, we discovered a small organization that aligned perfectly with our values. “Look,” I said late one night as Edrick and I sat up and worked through the sea of paperwork. It was just a couple of months before Daisy was set to be born, and my belly was practically bursting as I leaned forward to hand Edrick the piece of paper that caught my attention. “Look at this organization I just found.” Edrick furrowed his brow as he took the letter from me. “Humanity’s Reach Initiative,” he said under his breath. Edrick furrowed his brow as he took the letter from me. “Humanity’s Reach Initiative,” he said under his breath. “They’re not offering any money,” I said, feeling my chest swell a bit with excitement. “All they want is someone who is really dedicated to helping the world.” Edrick looked a little skeptical. “We can give them a call if you’d like,” he said, supportive as always. “We’ll call tomorrow.” Indeed, the next day we called Humanity’s Reach Initiative. Within a few weeks, I was signing my first contract. They may not have had the grandeur or financial prowess of the other offers, but their dedication and commitment to their cause shone through. Their passion for creating a better world was undeniable, and I knew deep in my heart that they were the right choice. Rather than merely accepting their invitation, Edrick went a step further. He decided to invest in this organization, recognizing the immense potential they held to effect real change. It was a gesture that truly touched my soul. Together, we wanted to nurture and uplift those who shared our vision, knowing that every small step towards progress mattered. When we made our decision, the runner of the organization expressed her immense gratitude. Her name was Jolene, and we had been working closely with her for a few months. Countless press conferences, public events, and charity galas later, Jolene wrote a heartfelt letter, publicly thanking both Edrick and me for believing in their cause: To Moana and Edrick Morgan: I hope this letter finds you both in the best of spirits, for it carries with it an abundance of gratitude and appreciation. It is with utmost sincerity and admiration that I reach out to express my heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support and belief in our organization, Humanity’s Reach Initiative. Words alone cannot capture the depth of gratitude that fills my heart as I reflect upon the momentous decision you both made. Your selection of our small organization, despite the limited financial resources we possess, has reaffirmed our unwavering dedication to creating a more equal and just world. It is through the genuine intentions and unwavering commitment of individuals like yourselves that our vision can come to fruition. Your rejection of the enticing monetary offers from other brands and NGOs speaks volumes about your character and the values you hold dear. In a world driven by profit and self-interest, you have remained steadfast in your pursuit of genuine change. The trust you have placed in us is both humbling and inspiring, and it fuels our resolve to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who need it most. Edrick’s decision to invest in our organization goes beyond mere financial support. It represents a partnership built on shared values and a mutual understanding of the potential we possess to create lasting change. Your investment is not just in our organization, but in the countless lives we aim to uplift and empower. Please accept my heartfelt thanks for recognizing the true essence of our work, which extends far beyond financial gain. Your belief in our mission to foster equality and justice serves as a guiding light, propelling us forward in our endeavors. Your support provides us with the means to continue advocating for those who have been marginalized and forgotten. In light of your generous support, we pledge to remain transparent, accountable, and focused on our shared goals. Your trust empowers us to dream bigger, to reach further, and to touch the lives of countless individuals who yearn for a better future. On behalf of the entire Humanity’s Reach Initiative, I extend my deepest gratitude to both of you. Your decision to choose purpose over profit has reinvigorated our spirits and solidified our commitment to the cause we hold so dear. We are honored to have you as partners in our journey, and we look forward to forging a future of meaningful impact, together. With immense appreciation and warmest regards, Jolene Leader, Humanity’s Reach Initiative Reading that letter, which was published in the local newspaper, made tears come to my eyes. But beyond that, it was humbling. It was a humbling experience to witness the impact we could have on someone’s life by extending a helping hand. Their gratitude reassured me that we had made the right choice amidst all the chaos. In the days that followed, as news of our collaboration spread, I realized the true power that lay within me. It was not just the power of being the Golden Wolf, but the power to choose, to discern, and to inspire change. I understood that the path I had been thrust upon was not just about protecting nature but also about using my influence to create a more just and compassionate world. The overwhelming offers and temptations had momentarily veered me off course, but with Edrick’s guidance, I found my way back. Together, we rejected the falsehoods and embraced the genuine opportunities. We were determined to remain steadfast in our purpose, never allowing ourselves to be swayed by materialistic desires. With so much change underway, the world really did feel like my oyster. And I was prepared to weather the tides of the ocean as the Golden Wolf, so long as I had my newfound family by my side.
