Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 806

The university issued a clear statement: Carlson’s academic standing would remain unaffected by the whistleblowing incident.

He was free to choose a new advisor in line with his research interests, and the administration promised to actively mediate, offering both parties opportunities to communicate and coordinate.

The second point addressed the incident where a graduate student, with ties to Edna, had swapped another group’s project report during a competition. After a thorough investigation, the allegations were confirmed.

The individuals involved were removed from their posts, and the graduate student, Miss Moore, was expelled immediately.

Thirdly, during the course of the investigation, the university uncovered evidence that Edna had accepted bribes during admissions. The student implicated in this matter, Hertha Sherwood, was also expelled.

Finally, the administration expressed deep regret and sincere apologies for Edna Moore’s gross academic misconduct and the resulting negative impact on the university’s reputation.

They solemnly pledged to learn from this incident, conduct a comprehensive review, close any loopholes, and improve their processes, reaffirming their commitment to upholding a healthy academic environment and a culture of integrity.

“Who… who are you people?” Slater stood frozen in his office as a group of strangers barged in, swiftly packing up computers and files.

Hertha Sherwood rushed forward, blocking their path. “Do you even know where you are? How dare you just barge in here?!”

“This is Edna’s office, isn’t it?”

“At least you know that much!”

“Keep moving!” the lead investigator barked.

Hertha’s eyelid twitched. “What do you think you’re doing?! Who gave you permission to touch this? Only our research team has access—these are confidential documents! If you damage or leak anything, can you take responsibility—?”

She reached out to grab a box, but one of the investigators stepped in, unfazed.

“You’re Edna’s student, right? We’re the university’s investigation committee. We’re here to collect these materials as evidence. Please step aside and don’t interfere with our work.”

“Investigation committee?” Hertha faltered.

Just then, Slater, glued to his phone, let out an alarmed shout. “Come look at this! How could this happen? This can’t be real!”

Hertha hurried over. On Slater’s phone screen was the university’s second official announcement, posted just half an hour earlier.

“I—I’ve been expelled?” Hertha stammered.

Slater scrolled through the statement five times from top to bottom, finally confirming his own name wasn’t mentioned.
