Chapter 58
After Mia refreshed the forum several times, she felt relieved. The rumors about Lima’s questionable behaviors and attempts to seduce her seniors to remain on Wilson’s team had completely stopped spreading.
Wilson valued his dignity, which meant it was probably a bad idea to slander and ruin Esma’s reputation. She would have to let it Another opportunity would come her way down the road.

Mia had to admit that she felt a little disappointed, though

felt disheartened after she left the team and wanted to persuade her to retum.
However, I’ve said it repeatedly. What I want from my students is for them to be upstanding folks instead of their academic superiority.
“Lura might’ve seemed like an honest and simple young lady, but she was actually very cunning and crafty. Otherwise, the five of you wouldn’t have been duped into defending her this much.
“Now that she had lost what she craved, she was pissed off. She wanted to drag all of you down with her, but each of you had a soft spot for her and wanted to make her retum to the team. That’s why you all played right into her hands!
“Russell, reputation and research are all crucial for academics like us. You have to remember what I say and distance yourself from her from here on out.” Russell himg his head and responded, “Loud and clear, Professor Hanley,”
“The same goes for the rest of you. Remember what I said today. Get your heads into the upcoming competition and stop wasting your efforts on Luna.” Wilson’s expression turned cold
“Now that she’s in a new team, we’ll send her off with our blessing and wish her good fortune and an uneventful graduation. I’ll have done my part as her mentor, then
“I won’t ask for anything more than that. She has parted ways with us, and that’s that!” Wilson waved and looked mentally exhausted.
The rest of them swapped glances. They didn’t expect that the whole thing would end in such an anticlimactic manner, especially when Wilson made a huge deal out of it in the first place.
Russell had fully expected Wilson to dish out a harsh punishment to him, too. Clutching his abdomen, he thought the kick to his belly was very much worth it. There was one thing, though. It seemed like Wilson still valued his bond with Luna to a certain extent. It only went to show how excellent a mentor he was. This explained why countless students wanted to become his menter.
After the others had left, he asked Wyatt to stay back Both of them walked into his office, and he gestured for Wyatt to take a seat.
“What’s your take on this incident?*
“It’s clear that Luna deliberately set Russell up!” Wyatt grashed his teeth. “She wasn’t happy that she had to leave the team, and she knew that we wouldn’t favor her anymore, even if she rejoined us.
That was why she decided to have a fallout with us, but she was worried that the outsiders would say that she was squeezed out of the team. So, she cooked up a scheme to vindicate herself.”
Wilson shook his head. “You’ve underestimated her. She doesn’t have to vindicate herself.
“All she has to do is find a more powerful backing. If her new mentor is more prominent than i aus, she could gamer respect from students and professors alike.” “But no other professors are more prominent than you are in the entire medical school” Wyatt was puzzled. “We are the top team in one of the most mainstream mujore, while Luna joined a niche team. How does that make sense?”TM
Wilson laughed. “Professor wilder had the Wilder family backing her. If Luna could graduate without any problems, she would be a double major graduate. “Then, she would have her pick of the hospitals in Velinora and gamer respect in research institutes as well.”
“It’s easier said than done to graduate with two majors.” Wyatt shook his head. “Moreover, I disagree with the sentiment that Professor Wilder is tough to beat. She wouldn’t have lost to you in school if she were.”
“You know nothing about it. “Wilson sighed. “I wouldn’t have been able to stay ahead of her if I weren’t academically stronger. She was unhappy about it and took Luna under burr wings on purpose.”
A hint of bittemess flashed across his face. “I’ve also underestimated Luna. I didn’t expect a young lady like her could be this cunning. I can’t believe she…”
Wilson trailed off and didn’t flesh his sentence.
“Professor Hanley, what on earth is going on here? What did Lugado?” Wyatt asked anxiously.
