Chapter 714 Connections Inside the office were the judges of the organizing committee and the chairman of the committee, Richard Goodman. Everyone held their breath as they watched Richard, known for his sternness, slowly emerge. It was well known that he didn't like any trouble, especially during competitions.
Styre University had violated Richard's taboos this time, and people didn't know what kind of punishment Styre University would face. Ssecretly gloated at the thought of Styre University being expelled from the competition, while others felt sorry for them. Missing out on such a major competition would be a huge loss for Styre University.

Members of the Johnville Team couldn't wait to speak up as soon as Richard appeared. Although Richard was from Alton, he had Theisian heritage, and they were confident he would support the Theisian team.
"Mr. Goodman, the troublemaker is this student from Styre University. I heard she's just a freshman at Styre University. Such a person shouldn't be appearing in our competition. Styre University is intentionally humiliating us. They have no intention of participating; they just want to cause trouble. Please believe me, Mr. Goodman," someone said.
Hearing the other party's account, Richard frowned. He looked in the direction indicated by the man who spoke just now, and after seeing the petite figure sitting to the side, his eyes widened. "Am I having a hallucination or something?" he wondered. " Otherwise, how could I see her here?" He asked, "Are you... Catherine?" At that moment, Marshall and the others were anxiously waiting at the door. Half an hour had passed, yet there was still no news. Unable to bear it any longer, he forcefully pushed aside a few friends who were trying to stop him, ready to rush in.
"Marshall, wait a little longer!" Marshall suddenly shook off their hands and rushed towards the meeting room. "Wait for what? Who knows what those foreigners inside might do to Catherine? I have to protect her!" Just as Marshall reached for the door handle, the previously tightly closed door was opened from the inside. Richard, accompanied by several committee members, emerged from the room, with Catherine standing beside him.
Marshall immediately rushed to Catherine's side, asking, "Catherine, are you okay?" "I'm fine," Catherine responded calmly.

Catherine calmly introduced Marshall to them. "My mentor, Professor Marshall Hartley!" Having heard of Marshall before, Richard smiled and greeted him with a somewhat awkward accent, "Oh, Professor Hartley, nice to meet you!" Having participated in the previous Bide Cup competition, Marshall knew that Richard was the chairman of the competition, so he warmly responded, " Mr. Goodman, nice to meet you too!" After the greetings, Marshall intended to explain the situation to Richard regarding Catherine. In Marshall's view, the situation was not Catherine's fault, and she should not be blamed for it.
"Professor Hartley, I already know the ins and outs of the situation. I will request the Johnville Team to will provide a reasonable explanation and publicly apologize to you. Otherwise, I ve demand their withdrawal from the competition." Richard's response left Marshall somewhat bewildered. Marshall hadn't even explained yet, and the situation had already turned around. Originally, Styre University was supposed to be expelled from the competition, but now it seemed the other team would be expelled if they didn't apologize.
abologet Richard's assistant arrived and whispered a few words in Richard's ear. After that, Richard looked apologetically at Catherine, saying, Catherine, I have surgent matters to attend to. We'll talk later!" "Okay," Catherine replied, and Richard hurriedly left with his assistant.
Once the others had left, Marshall finally cto his senses. He looked at Catherine, asking, “Do you know Mr. Goodman?"

Can't believe that you have connections on an op such farming else international level!" Catherine and Richard were old friends, but she hadn't expected to run into him here. It seemed that she would be meeting quite a few old acquaintances in the near future.
