"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
At Bedford College, in the administrative office, someone asked, "How has public opinion shifted since the statement was released two hours ago?"No answer came."Why aren't you people responding?"Another said, "Well… we've made it to the top of the trending list. Number one."The administrator nod
From Yasmine's vantage point, she could clearly see the color drain from Sophie's face. Her expression shifted rapidly from smug confidence to panic, disbelief, and confusion."This… this can't be. How could this happen in just one day?"Yasmine replied flatly, "Public opinion changes in the blink o
"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
Since it was the end of the year, the students were all on holiday. The vast school grounds felt a little deserted. Dallas Urban, the school's security guard, noticed Lionel coming from a distance. He stepped out of the guard booth and greeted him cheerfully, "Mr. Sutton!" Then his gaze landed on
"There's still a pile of pots and pans in the kitchen waiting to be cleaned," Jenny complained."I'm just like a maid that's born to toil endlessly, unlike you who can enjoy such an easy life. "You should really learn from Lionel. He cooks every time they host a gathering. You two are brothers, but
"I'm cooking something," Paul said. "Why are you cooking this late at night?" Susan asked. "I wanted a midnight snack."Susan knew her son didn't normally eat late. Clearly, he was cooking for someone else. The thought worsened her mood. "When are you planning to come back to Elgerson?" she asked
Suddenly, Miranda stopped walking. She turned to face Paul and said seriously, "Thank you, Paul, for coming to Lumberville to spend Christmas with me. And… thank you for being in my life."Paul was slightly taken aback. Then, he gently squeezed her hand. "You dummy. I should be the one thanking you.
