Chapter 240
Just seeing the words “Hawthorne University” was enough to grab attention. Pair that with such a scandalous headline, and there was no way the topic would die down.
At this rate, it was only a matter of time before government authorities got involved.
“Edward, are you sure this will force Rosalie to give in?” Claudia stared at the trending list, eyes gleaming with excitement as she saw comment after comment bashing Hawthorne University and Rosalie.
“Don’t worry. Even if this doesn’t make Rosalie hand over her shares, her reputation is ruined. Hawthorne University being exposed like this is a disgrace to the education sector. Once the authorities step in, do you think Rosalie will get off easy?”
Edward grinned triumphantly, showing no sign of guilt or regret despite pushing his own daughter into the spotlight of a public scandal.
Pointing at his phone screen, he smirked, “See this? These are real reactions from netizens. Nothing pisses them off more than shady backroom deals. People at the bottom can’t stand seeing the rich and powerful making under–the–table transactions. That’s why they’re the ones jumping up and down the most.
“The education department will have to take action just to appease the public. If they don’t deal with Rosalie and Dustin, it’ll undermine their authority. Trust me, this move is a guaranteed win. Now that the heat is up, we don’t have to do anything–just sit back and watch Rosalie’s downfall.”
“Edward, you’re amazing. I admire you so much! You’re my idol…” Claudia playfully climbed onto Edward’s lap, her words stroking his already inflated ego.
[Medical students spend years studying their asses off, only to have their futures ruined by these corrupt people. Hawthorne University, give us an explanation! @Hawthorne University]
Hawthorne University didn’t even realize what was happening until they were tagged in thousands of posts on their official X account. At the same time, the government’s investigative team arrived on campus and invited the protesting parents inside for discussions.
Then came an official response from Hawthorne University’s X account: [We appreciate the public’s concern regarding this matter. Rosalie’s hiring process followed all legal procedures, and her credentials meet Hawthorne University’s recruitment standards. We urge everyone not to fall for false narratives or malicious attacks against Rosalie.]
Even though the university issued a statement, many people still refused to believe it. However, some more rational and well–educated voices started speaking up.
