Chapter 83
Luna was so furious that she laughed. Wilson was still blindly biased toward Mia, whether in this lite or the last
Had it ever occurred to him whether she even wanted to listen to him“What right did he have to demand that of her?
“I believe the school will conduct a thorough investigation into whether Mia plagiarized or not. As for whether she had insulted me online or had anything to do with what’s happening on the internet, I honestly have no idea.” She looked at Wilson indifferently
“Professor Hanley, it’s slightly unreasonable for you to ask me to explain things im not even sure about myself. What I want is a fair and transparent investigation Imm the school. After all, a young lady’s imputation is no small matter, whether it’s plagiarism or slander.
“I’m sure Mia wouldn’t want to be haunted by these accusations either,
“You” Wilsonhadn’t expected Luma to be this determined to get to the bottom of the latter. He was so furious that his face turned ashen
“So, you’re insisting that Mia plagiarized your thesis, right? Are you willing to apologize to her publicly in front of the whole school if the result proves otherwise? It not, don’t even think about throwing dirt on her name!”
Luna shook her head. “I never once said she plagiarized my thesis, and I never posted any accusations about her online. All I’ve asked is the chance to get the facts straight. Professes Hanley, why are you so desperate to prevent an investigation?
“It could be resolved simply by finding out who’s stirring up trouble and laying everything out on the table. Why Every eve in the room furned to Wilson her words fell.
“Professor Hanley, are you afraid of something?” Erin glared at him coldly
y does it have to be so hard?
The director of the Student Affairs Office, Howell Osbome, was worried that they would start a shouting match, so he quickly intervened, saying, “Now that things have escalated this far, the school should step in to investigate.
“It’s not just to clear the names of the two students involved but also to restore a healthier atmosphere on the campus forum.
“Professor Hanley, I think it’s best for the school to handle this from here. I can assure you that no student will be wronged. We’ll give both sides a fair and just outcome.
Wilson glanced around the room and slightly let out a sigh. “Mr. Osborne, it’s not that I refuse to investigate. It’s just that Mis has already suffered from depression because of the online rumors. The latest blow has made things even worse. She’s in a very fragile mental state.
“I’m just afraid that people who don’t know the full story will assume she plagiarized once word gets out about an investigation. I’m just worried she might not be able to handle it. Who knows what she might do?
“Believe me. I know my student. With Mia’s talent and intelligence, she doesn’t have to copy work from someone inferior to her. I’ve read both theses. The topic is the same, but their approaches and thought processes are completely different. I stand by my judgment as a professor that she didn’t plagiarize.”
Oh, please
“So you’re vouching for her with your title as a professor? Erin pulled the visibly shaken and red–eyed Luna behind her. “You call yourself a professor? You say Mia is your student. What about Luna? Wasn’t she ever your student, too?
“You’re so concrmed about Mia being misunderstood and her doing something extreme, What about Luna? She’s the one who left the team when the plagiarism scandal broke. Have you ever thought that she could be the one misunderstood it no one clears things up?
“Have you ever thought that she might be the one who gets hurt, breaks down, and does something reckless? Or is it that you’ve never once considered her feelings? “They were both your students. Why do I feel that Mia’s life matters, while Luna’s reputation and life mean nothing in your eyes, Professor Hanley?” Everyone’s faces flushed with anger as Erin’s sharp questions rang out one after another
Howell even frowned. “That’s enough. Both of you, stop arguing. Listen to me. The school will investigate this matter. We’ll get to the bottom of it and give everyone an explanation.
“I promise to uphold taimess and justice in this investigation as the director of the Student Affairs Ottice. There will be no favoritism!”
