“Aria’s admission into my mentorship program had nothing to do with Charles. I had been following her work for a long time. Before she even started college, she had already won numerous prestigious awards and medals, and she had ranked first in the entire state on her entrance exams. Why wouldn’t I want such an outstanding student?”
“As for the top scholarship you mentioned, are you not allowed to lose to someone more skilled? Hazel, if I had known this was your character, I would never have allowed you into the institute!”
State’s top scholar!
Aria was the state’s top scholar!
Hazel collapsed onto the floor. “Impossible. It must be because Aria had connections. If I had been the one dating Charles, I could have become someone like Aria!”
At the mention of her past relationship with Charles, Aria instinctively glanced at Raphael.
Raphael showed no reaction, standing protectively in front of Aria like a knight.
Aria felt a warmth spread through her chest.
“Hazel, this is all just your own delusion. I let you go last time when you stole my experiment’s results. This time, I absolutely will not.”
“Officer, here is my evidence.”
Aria handed the video recording to the police. “Hazel was expelled from the institute long ago. Not only did she trespass, but she also committed theft!”
The officer took the recording, his expression turning very serious.
When it came to matters of the state, nothing was a small issue.
“Alright, we will handle this in accordance with the law. In the meantime, please keep your phone on so you can cooperate with our investigation!”
“No, you can’t arrest me! Professor, please, help me! I can’t go to jail! I promise this is the last time. If you just let me go, I’ll never appear before you again!”
“You’re not sorry for what you did; you’re just sorry you’re about to get caught,” Aria said. “Professor, those injuries on her body aren’t from abuse at all. They’re scrapes. As for how she got them, let’s see if she dares to say.”
“I already told you, someone pushed me, and that’s why I pushed you! I didn’t mean to make you miscarry!”
