pdragging this out since she’s already made that decision.”
Chapter 80
Wilson said, “Luna isn’t hurting Mia or my team’s reputation, but her future. Her recklessness will only narrow her path further.
“I won’t hesitate to contact Professor Wilder or even the school administration if she refuses to listen. The Internet is not above the law. She needs to face the consequences of her actions.”
Wilson hung up the phone after his furious tant. It was clear he didn’t believe for a second that Lima had nothing to do with the online posts.

Everyone in the dorm looked at each other before laughing out loud at the same time as the call ended. However, everyone soon felt a sense of worry afterward. “Do you think he’ll contact Professor Wilder? Will it end up affecting Luna if things escalate?” Talla was getting increasingly anxious as she held the phone. “More and more people are bashing Mia on the forum. She’s bound to face serious cyberbullying it this keeps up. I’d probably leave campus if I were her. Could the get expelled if the plagiarism issue is investigated again?”
Luna shook her head. “Judging from Professor Hanley’s attitude, he’s clearly trying to protect her. It won’t be that easy to get her expelled. I’m worrying about
“What are you worrying about?” Jade noticed the deep furrow in her brows and started to worry, ton. “Does it have something to do with the posts online?” Lana shook her head again. “I’m worried Mia will keep using her depression as a shield. It she does anything extreme, the school will downplay everything to protect its reputation and ensure students‘ safety
“who knows if the plagiarism case will even be investigated properly with Professor Hanley backding her?”
“That can’t be, right? Some of them looked skeptical. “it’s blown up this much. Can the school really turn a blind eye? The students will lose trust in them if they don’t give an explanation”
Luna was uncertain about it. After all, Mia had a strong family background. If her parents stepped in and she played the depression card, it might only be the people who posted about her alleged plagianism or called her out who would end up suffering the consequences.
“It’s hard to say!” Luna had no confidence. “Jade, can you help me track down the people who exposed the paid trolls and wrote those analysis posts?” “Got it!” Jade tumed amund and began her investigation.
Meanwhile, after angrily ending the call, Wilson turned around to see Mia standing in front of him with teary eyes. She looked utterly pitiful.
“Professor Hanley, Luna won’t delete the posts, will she? 1 knew it. She must hate me. It’s my fault. I took her place on the team. I never should’ve replaced her…
She cried as she said, “I’ll go and apologize to her. I’ll beg her. I’ll do anything she asks if she’s willing to delete the posts and not drag your reputation into this!” She turned to nush out as she spoke, but Wyatt quickly stopped her “Professor Hanley hasn’t said anything yet. What’s the rush?”
“Professor Hanley?” Mia looked up. Her face was streaked with tears, looking absolutely pitiful.
Wilson was already furious at Luna’s attitude. That stubbo Luna had no regard for his reputation, even though she was already part of Erin’s team now. She had nothing to do with them anymore. Yet, she insisted on dragging him and has team into this mess.
at she was clearly unwilling to leave the team in the first place. She just wanted them to beg her to return, and she caused this mess when
it seemed to him now that she no one did
Wilson wouldn’t take back a student like her who didn’t care about his reputation. She was utterly delusional if she hoped that they would go begging for her retum. His anger began to subside when he saw how Mia considered his reputation and was even witting to beg Luna because of this matter.
It had proved that he had made the right choice. Mia was much more mature than Luna. It was true that people from small towns lacked vision and grace. No wonder she couldn’t graduate.
