"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
Bedford College's official statement made it clear that Joli wouldn't face any repercussions due to the whistleblowing incident. He would be allowed to select a new advisor aligned with his research direction, with the college facilitating the transition and communication process.The second point a
Evelyn replied, "You need to go. Don't think that just because you got into grad school, you can stop maintaining relationships. Your grades are still in their hands. Sending a little something never hurts. Look at the gourmet honey and bracelets from last time…""Gifts, gifts, gifts! All you ever t
Sawyer answered, "Alright."Soon, Miranda entered the house. "Grandma, did you call for me?""Come here, Miranda." Fiona beckoned her over. "Let me introduce you to the young scion of the Jensen family, Sawyer Jensen. You two probably met during the birthday banquet.""Nice to meet you," Miranda gre
Paul remained silent as he watched Sam walk away.How childish.Meanwhile, Miranda frowned. That couldn't be right. She had picked each one carefully and they all looked sweet. Sam was probably unlucky to eat a sour one. Paul and Sam picked two large baskets of strawberries and handed them over to
However, Sam's mind had long wandered elsewhere. Coincidentally, he stepped out of the study with a bright smile on his face when the maid came to call him. Sam hadn't gone to the office as he knew Miranda would be visiting. He specially came to the Garrison estate to wait for her instead. Sure en
Miranda felt that if she didn't find an excuse to get Joli out of the lab, he could easily stay there for an entire day. Then, he would pull another all-nighter. Did Joli really think he had some kind of superpower? He worked nonstop for two days with barely any sleep and no proper meals. Yet, he s
Miranda began, "Grandma, I—" "Aren, can you keep an eye on the fire for me? It's been stewing for three hours, and I just need this last touch. Make sure it's perfect, okay? It's too noisy here, so I'm going out to talk to Mimi."It sounded like Fiona had walked into the living room since the noise
Paul paused, then chuckled. "Why do you ask?"Miranda responded thoughtfully, "Because I think it's you. Am I right?"After a brief pause, he nodded. "Yeah."She smiled. "I knew it… No wonder you said we should let things calm down before making any moves. You'd already planned this beforehand, hadn
Madison sighed. "You don't get it."Sebastian gave her a puzzled look."I'm so stressed out," Madison wailed."What can I do to help?" When he saw the tears in her eyes, Sebastian panicked."I'm not getting enough sleep… Can I cut the morning run by ten minutes?" she sobbed."Sure," he said.Madison
Fiona sighed. "What's Mimi been up to lately? I've asked her to come home for dinner twice, but she keeps saying she's too busy. It's been more than a month since I've seen her."Aren put down his newspaper and glanced at her. "You're a grown woman. Why do you need your granddaughter around to keep
Miranda accepted the money and said, "I don't think Joli would accept it.""Just tell him it's from me, and refusing it would be rude. I'm sure he'll accept it," Christine said."Got it." After handling everything, Miranda resumed her usual routine. She shuttled between the lab, college, and home.
