Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 424

"What on earth is this?"

"Looks like some sort of lab equipment! And it was delivered by an international engineer, no less!"

"You think it's just a delivery? After it's installed, it needs to be calibrated."

"I remember this lab being empty before, when did it start getting stocked with all this high-end gear?"

"Isn't it obvious? Someone's planning to use it, that's for sure!"

"Must have cost a fortune, just look at it!"

Amidst the growing buzz of conversation, Slater's expression darkened by the second.

Sybil, on the other hand, pushed her way to the front, eyes wide with disbelief.

It was indeed a CPRT machine, but not quite.

This one was half the size of the ones their college already owned, and...

She caught a quick glance, noticing the touch-sensitive buttons.

The display was nearly twice as big as well.

"This... this is the latest generation CPRT?!" Slater's voice nearly cracked!

Not only was it more advanced than the ones they had, but its features were far more comprehensive.

He stormed forward, demanding, "Where did you get this from?!"

Roseanne retorted, "What's it to you?"

Slater was speechless.

Mamie, munching on a cookie, smiled, "Didn't you tell us to handle it ourselves yesterday? Well, we did. Surprise or what? You must be thrilled for us, right?"

Slater couldn't even muster a fake smile, let alone a real one!

Sybil shook her head, "Impossible... Even if we were to buy it, it couldn't have arrived this fast!"

Scales: "Ever heard of something called 'pre-ordering'?"

"No... it can't be..."

How could they just purchase such an expensive piece of equipment on a whim?

Yet, the real shock was still to come...

That afternoon, a "Disciplinary Notice" was posted on the college's official website.

The gist of it was as follows:

"...Upon investigation, it was found that senior student Carlson had monopolized the lab, wasting valuable academic resources... We hereby issue a formal reprimand! All faculty and students are advised to take this as a cautionary tale."
