Chapter 79
Wilson snapped, “Are you behind those posts online? What exactly are you trying to stir up? I’ve told you this matter is in the past. It was your own decision to leave the team. Nå noe besteed you.
Lima pot the call on speaker and tossed her phone onto the bed before Wilson could say anything harsher.
His angry voice echoed throughout the dorm mom, “I don’t care what your intentions are. I want you to take down those posts immediately! I don’t want this to
“I’ll just pretend that I never had a student like you. I’m no longer your professor You should also stop targeting Mia from now on!”
Everyone in the don was stunned.
Luru?” Talia stepped beside Lama.
Lama smiled as the shook her head. “I’m fine.”
She then calmly responded, “Pofessor Hanley,
crtatebal for everything you taught me over the years. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you.
“I won’t refer to you as my professat anymore siner you said I was never your student. Whatever bond we once had as mentor and student ends here. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.
“As for the posts, I have no authority to make anyone take them down. Everyone has the right to speak their mind. It’s up to the author, even if I want them deleted.
Wilson took a deep breath “Are you saying those posts have nothing to do with you?”
“I wish they did. But unfortunately, I haven’t even had the chance to do anything yet.” Luna’s expression turned cold.
That had been their plan, but they never got around to it. They weren’t involved in any posts that exposed the troll accounts and the so–called analysis articles. The comment section below was even out of their control.
pastice spoke for itself. People weren’t blind to the truth
Wilson shot back, “Luna, listen to what you’re saying! What did Mia ever do to you? Why are you going after her like this?
“Now the whole school is blaming her for your downfall. But none of this had anything to do with her! You left the team of your own accord. You chose to leave. Why do you drag her into this?
She already struggled with depression because of what was said online last time. If you keep stirring things like this, are you trying to push her over the edge? That’s a life you’re playing with. Are you really that cruel?”
Everyone in the don was dumbfounded.
Talia was always quick–tempered. She couldn’t hold back but spoke, “Professor H
Hanley, with all due respect, what exactly did Luna do to push Mia over the edge?
“She didn’t pay people to post those comments. Besides, are you even sure Mia ever did anything to harm her?
“If Luna is at fault for anything, it’s for not pushing the school to investigate properly when the plagiarism incident first came out.”
“Exactly,” Nicole damed in. “There wouldn’t have been any online rumors if things had been cleared up back then and it Mia had been proven innocent. How would she have fallen into depression without those rumors?
“Where’s this talk about Lund driving her to depression coming from if she wasn’t depressed in the first place? All in all, no matter how you spin it, you can’t pin the blame on Luna!”
Jade added as well. “Even if Luna didn’t make it onto your team, it s s at least fair and square instead of because of some inexplicable reason!”
Wilson clearly hadn’t expected Luna to put the call on speaker. He was momentarily speechless with rage. “What do you students even know about? I’ma senior professor on campus. I’ve mentored hundreds, it not thousands, of students. The ones I choose are exceptional
“They’re the top of the class in character and academics. Luna and Mia were my students. Naturally,
theiri
rpapers might resemble each other a little
“But that alone isn’t proof of plagiarism. The uproar online has already damaged our team’s reputation. My criticism was meant to help Luna broaden ber perspective and grow.
“It was never meant to force her out of the team. It was her own choice to leave the team. She should stop
pdragging this out since she’s already made that decision.“
