Professor Alistair Finch's voice boomed with absolute authority.
With the microphone resting on the table, his words echoed through the hall, making sure everyone heard him loud and clear.
In an instant, the entire room plunged into a dead silence.
It was as if all the oxygen had been sucked out of the space. Every single person's face flushed with shock as they snapped their heads toward Raelynn Ortiz.
Julian and Leo Flynn, who had been quietly watching the drama unfold, shot up from their chairs in unison. They wondered if they had misheard.
But suddenly, all the pieces clicked together.
No wonder Raelynn had risen so quickly at NexusMind Technologies. No wonder her name was on the groundbreaking cardiovascular drug research. No wonder Kingsford University had made her an Associate Professor.
Julian, in particular, stared at Raelynn, his eyes practically vibrating with disbelief. She was the legendary Faye?
Ian Hudson's... ex-girlfriend?
Then didn't that mean...
Following the suffocating silence, a massive wave of uproar crashed through the room. Gasps echoed from every corner.
Seraphina Vance turned deathly pale. Her lips trembled uncontrollably as she stared at Raelynn, who remained infuriatingly calm.
A loud ringing filled Seraphina's ears.
"How... how is that even possible?" she asked, her voice cracking as her composure shattered.
Her entire worldview was crumbling to dust.
Dr. Evelyn Hayes was just as stunned. She looked at Finch in sheer disbelief. "Raelynn is your student? Why didn't you ever mention this?"
Naturally, Finch wasn't going to announce that it was because of Raelynn's unique circumstances.
She had given birth to a child while operating under the alias Faye. If that had been exposed earlier, the backlash would have been disastrous.
But now, she was divorced.
She was even reportedly going to marry Ian Hudson. There was no need to hide in the shadows anymore.
Raelynn had known from the very beginning that the moment the plagiarism accusations began, her secret identity would inevitably be exposed. To prove her innocence, she had to lay all her cards on the table.
The last trace of color vanished from Seraphina's face.
Finch suddenly whirled on her. "Ms. Vance, you certainly have quite the eagle eye. To be able to speed-read through Raelynn's paper and pick out exactly which words and sentences belonged to Faye... you've got better vision than anyone else in this room."
A freezing chill ran straight down Seraphina's spine.
"I'd actually love to ask," Finch continued, his voice ringing like a gavel, "with Raelynn's exceptional talent, why on earth would she regress to copying and pasting her own past work? I reviewed her current paper beforehand. It was vastly different from the old version and lightyears more advanced. It seems glaringly obvious that someone tampered with her submission. This needs to be investigated thoroughly!"
He didn't mince words.
Every syllable slammed into the audience like a physical blow.
No one had anticipated a plot twist this massive. The woman they thought was utterly ruined turned out to be Faye the Great herself.
And everyone in the room knew it was true—why would someone of Faye's caliber plagiarize her own outdated material? It was career suicide.
As Finch's words settled, Dr. Hayes and the rest of the faculty snapped out of their daze.
Dr. Hayes stared at Raelynn with absolute delight. No wonder she had taken such a liking to the younger woman. Such raw, unparalleled talent was the absolute future of the medical field.

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
