Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 639

"From now on, Dr. Ray, you might want to be more careful when choosing students. We trust you didn't know, but if someone with an agenda decides to twist this, saying you encouraged plagiarism, that could be messy," Mr. Atticus said, his tone dripping with insincerity. He pretended to support Dr. Ray, but he was really putting the spotlight on him.

No one had thought about it like that until Mr. Atticus spoke. Now, people were starting to look at Dr. Ray with suspicion.

Dr. Ray had published so many papers and won so many awards—was there something shady going on?

If a student is caught plagiarizing, it's rare for their teacher to be completely innocent.

"If you expel this student, everyone will see you as the victim," Mr. Atticus said with a mild smile. Flora’s presence made him uneasy, reminding him of a terrible experience he had on an island. Unable to confront the real source of his anger, he directed it towards Flora.

Why did she have to look so much like that awful woman?

Dr. Ray met Mr. Atticus’s gaze, fully aware of his attempt to smear his reputation. But he cared more about Flora’s reputation than his own.

"Mr. Atticus, my student Flora is innocent and did not plagiarize. Let's not jump to conclusions without a proper investigation. Your careless words could ruin someone," Dr. Ray said sternly. Turning to Flora with a hint of urgency, he added, "Flora, what’s going on here?"

He trusted that Flora wouldn't plagiarize, but his trust didn't mean others would believe the same, especially with the media present.

Flora needed to prove her innocence, or her future could be at stake.
