Chapter 236
So, when Norah spoke up for Rosalie, even though these people were not convinced in their hearts, they dared not show it on the surface.
Norah smiled slightly and said, “I also looked at that post, and it didn’t actually say that Ms. Talley’s papers were ghostwritten. Yet here you are making wild assumptions.
“You’re basing all your judgment on a single forum post and her age. Should I take that to mean that, since I am a 25–year–old professor, you think my position is based on connections?”
The group of lecturers didn’t dare to offend Norah, especially since her words made them all look uncomfortable.
Not to mention Norah’s accomplishments were legitimate, even if they thought her professor title was gained through connections, they would never admit it to her face. That would imply that Dustin was using his position for personal gain.
“Mrs. Byers, you’ve taken that too seriously. We were just gossiping, that’s all. We won’t talk about it anymore…” Realizing they wouldn’t get anywhere with Norah, they forced a smile and tried to change the subject.

But when it came to that Helena, Norah furrowed her brows.
“Rosalie As soon as Edward saw Rosalie, he gave her a smile that screamed fatherly affection. But before he could say anything, Rosalie’s cold attitude shut him down.
‘Go ahead, Mr Graham, what important matter do you want to discuss with me?”
Edward’s smile immediately froze on his face. He quickly dropped the smile and no longer felt the need to keep up the pretenses. Clearly, he thought he now had enough leverage to threaten Rosalie
“Rosalie, it’s been so long, and you still won’t forgive me, your father, for my little mistakes?”
Rosalie thought, Little mistakes? He probably still thinks his ugly past has been well–hidden, treating me like a fool
“Well, I’m a petty person‘ Rosalie couldn’t be bothered to argue with him, so she just admitted it. Then she continued, “So, Mr Graham, what important matter do you want to discuss
