Chapter 326 A Moral Crossroads
Where did he get the right to accuse others of being unfair?
And the key point: even with Cormac’s intervention, they only got third place…
Was Cormac holding back, or wasn’t he?

Under the crowd’s indescribable expressions and William’s laughter making him unable to lift his head, Cormac felt like strangling Bramwell!
Truly a family, a whole family of idiots!
Helping steady William, who was almost sliding under the table, a faint, disdainful smile lingered in Oriana’s eyes.
“Luna, I’m giving you one last chance.”
Luna’s heart pounded wildly.
What does Oriana mean? Does she have evidence?
That bitch, thinking a couple of sentences can convince everyone to believe her?
Right, she has no evidence.
She’s definitely bluffing!
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited until now to say it!
Luna barely steadied her nerves.
But she had already started fake crying on her face, tears clinging to her eyelashes, making her look even more pitiful. “Oriana, I don’t know why you’re slandering me like this. I never said I wouldn’t apologize. Why must you be so cruel and try to drive me to ruin? Is it just because you don’t want me in the MDT?”
Oriana nodded. “Fine. If you won’t say it, then I will.”
“If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Flint and Mr. Ridge revised the initial draft Luna provided, correct?
“If it were just minor revisions, the foundation wouldn’t change.”
Luna’s heart leaped into her throat as she heard Oriana çontinue leisurely.
“Setting the content aside, everyone has their own writing habits. For example, I prefer using a three–part structure to elaborate on individual arguments.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Leo was taken aback, muttering, “Luna also uses a three–part structure for arguments…”
Oriana glanced at him and added, “I write the counterargument before presenting my own argument.”

Chapter 326 A Moral Crossroads
This was the opposite of the conventional approach, something very few people used.
A ripple of understanding passed through the crowd.

His face dark, Cormac suddenly stared at Luna and asked, “Luna, the initial draft you provided, was it truly completed by you alone?”
“Mr. Flint, do you doubt me too?” Luna looked on the verge of tears, but her frantically beating heart slowly calmed down.
She thought Oriana had some solid evidence? But after all that talk, it was just these insignificant coincidences?
Oriana, I overestimated you!
Firm in this belief, Luna regained her confidence.
She took a deep breath and declared clearly and culately, “I have a clear conscience! I will absolutely
not let down my family’s expectations, nor will I ever disgrace the sincere care and nurturing heart my professor has shown me!”
Cormac nodded. “Good! That’s how my student should be!”
With that, Cormac looked sternly at Oriana. “You heard her. Your so–called ‘evidence‘ is nothing but nonsense! Oriana Sterling, I’m giving you one chance. Apologize to my student. Otherwise, no matter how high your academic achievements, I will never agree to let a rotten seed who ruthlessly harms her peers remain in the MDT! The one who should really get out is you!”
A satisfied smile tugged at Luna’s lips. She also pointed a firm gaze at Oriana.
“Oriana, no matter how much you hate me, dislike me, no matter how you bully me, I can endure it! I can understand you not wanting to see me in the MDT! But I absolutely cannot allow you to make jokes at the expense of my professor and my family, causing them to worry and grieve for me!”
“Enough! Luna is gentle and steady, never one for wicked, despicable acts! My daughter, I know best!” Bramwell frowned deeply. Filled with utter disgust and a sense of knowing better, he reluctantly deigned to address Oriana,
“In the end, you’re doing all this just to get our attention, to show us you’re more capable and talented than Luna, to make us regret not letting you stay with the Sterling family, right? But your ignorance and stupidity will ultimately make you regret this!
“Oriana, our family isn’t heartless. Apologize to us now, leave the MDT on your own, and I can promise not to get a lawyer to sue you!”
Finally, Bramwell uttered this ‘concession‘ as if bestowing a great favor after an internal struggle.
