Theodore sobbed like a child. He had always known he didn't belong in Yasmine's little clique. Their exclusion of him wasn't subtle—it was blatant and deliberate.At one point, Theodore had clumsily tried to fit in. After all, humans were social creatures. In such an environment, anyone who could jo
Theodore mumbled hesitantly, "I didn't receive anything…"Joli gritted his teeth. "Stay here in the dorm. Don't go anywhere. I'll handle this."With that, he turned and left the dorm, heading straight to Sophie's office. He raised his hand, ready to knock, but paused when he overheard voices from in
"Aunt Sophie?" Yasmine looked confused."You had him do the work, then scratched his name off the list. Do you think Theodore would take that lying down?" Sophie scolded."Why should I care if he's upset? Am I supposed to be afraid of him?" Yasmine tilted her chin defiantly."You don't need to fear
The post spanned ten pages and was packed with explosive revelations. The whistleblower was none other than Sophie's own protégé, Joli.He had accused her of academic fraud, favoritism in admitting graduate students, accepting bribes while colluding with external companies, and having her niece Yasm
"Hardest path?" Madison didn't understand. "Reporting someone doesn't seem that hard. As long as the evidence is solid, you can use public opinion to directly bring down Sophie. It's way faster than going through legal channels."Once the story gained traction, the college wouldn't be able to turn a
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "It's not impossible, but how exactly to proceed… That needs more discussion."Miranda seemed to be deep in thought. Suddenly, both of them turned to her at the same time."What…" She chuckled. "Why are you two staring at me like that?""Miranda, come up with a plan," Ma
Sophie then started applauding mockingly. "But did you forget that I'm your advisor? If I go down, do you think you can still graduate?"She leaned forward, her voice dripping with faux sympathy. "Out of respect for our so-called mentor-student relationship, I'm giving you a chance. "Issue a public
"Goodluck, good sir." Someone posted a meme.Other heartfelt comments followed.User A: "I never liked studying, but I admired those who did. They worked so hard, traveled so far, only to arrive at the highest institution in Hebrana, where no one told them a deep abyss awaited."User B: "I'm from a
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
Mindy rolled her eyes at him. "You only ever care about your physics test papers and lesson materials. As for anything else… ugh forget it."Lionel chuckled. "So what do we do tomorrow? Are we going or not?""Of course we're going? They came all this way to invite us sincerely. We'll be the ones in
"Mrs. Jefferson, you're too kind," Mindy said.Susan had a pretty good impression of Mindy. It wasn't just because of the dress back then, but also because of Mindy's family background. She came from a truly prestigious and prominent lineage as a lady of the Garrison family. However, she met with m
"Felix? Susan?" Miranda exclaimed. She was momentarily stunned to see them standing at the front door with a suitcase. Her eyes widened in surprise. Paul turned to her and said helplessly, "Miranda… my parents are here."She quickly regained her composure and stepped forward with a smile. "Felix, S
Under Susan's gaze, Jenny felt a chill run down her spine. "You… Why are you acting so weird? Are you mute? You don't look like it from how you're dressed."She shot Susan a glare and muttered, "Crazy woman," before heading back into her apartment building. Susan stayed rooted to the spot. Her face
They made it back from the school to Harold's place just in time for dinner. After dinner, Lionel and his family said their goodbyes. Upon seeing this, Leonard's family made their exit right after. Jenny walked them to the door before collapsing onto the couch, clutching her lower back. "What a ti
Paul's genes ensured both good looks and a decent figure. On top of that, judging by how generous he was with his gifts, he clearly wasn't just an ordinary college professor. He probably came from an affluent family. Elite families like his often went back several generations, which meant his rela
