Halley chimed in, "Miss Lowell, people must take responsibility for their actions."
Even Professor Cole, who had once held Bianca in high regard, shook his head. "Unbelievable. You really can't judge a book by its cover! She's a disgrace to academia!"
The chorus of accusations made Bianca's head spin. Everyone looked at her with contempt and disgust, as if she were a rat scurrying through the streets.
Used to a life of pride and arrogance, Bianca couldn't handle such a dramatic fall from grace. She scrambled to her feet, shielding her face as she tried to escape, once again resorting to being the coward Noreen had called her.
But this time, Henry gave her no chance.
He blocked her path, his voice merciless as he confronted her. "An hour ago, WT Business School issued a statement revoking your degree. They will also be pursuing legal action against you for plagiarizing another's thesis and research!"
"Furthermore, your illicit affair with William has been publicly exposed by Mrs. William. The evidence includes numerous intimate photos and videos of you and William, as well as your private chat logs."
Bianca's eyes turned bloodshot, while her lips went unnaturally pale.
"You're disgusting," Henry said, his eyes like shards of ice.
Those simple words stabbed Bianca straight through the heart. The blood drained from her face.
For her, this moment was a blow more painful than death.
Henry took a half-step back, and the reporters instantly swarmed forward, surrounding Bianca. She had no escape.
Countless questions exploded in her mind, and the scene descended into chaos. She struggled, enraged and desperate…
Her hair and clothes were a mess. Her once polished and glamorous image was completely gone.
