Seven Years a Fool One Day a Queen (Kristine and Colton) novel Chapter 289

Chapter 289

Xander could no longer sit still. He stood up, his voice filled with disbelief, “What do you mean? What do you mean by ‘you can log in?”

Medea’s lips turned pale, and her hand. clutching the phone, tightened involuntarily.

Her heart was racing, and her ears were filled with a buzzing sound.

How could this be so coincidental?

William had said that the chances of running into the original author were one in thirty million.

That’s why she had carefully chosen this paper from the more than ten provided by him, to ensure it would help her win the graduate spot and connect with

Academician Adams’s networks for all the resources behind him.

he had operated this way for years without a single mistake.

low had it gone wrong now?

Medea couldn’t understand!

but at this moment, no one was concerned with how chaotic Medea’s mind was.

veryone’s attention was focused on Eliza.

he borrowed a laptop from Academician Adams and logged into the long–neglected email account, opening the email she had sent years ago.

t was exactly the same as the screenshot Medea had provided.

n fact, it was even more detailed and straightforward!

Inlike Medea’s meaningless screenshots, Eliza’s were clear and full of context.

What’s more, Eliza opened several unread emails in the inbox from WT Business School.

ome were asking why she hadn’t reported to the school,

Whers inquired about how to contact her,

ind some even asked if she could provide more detailed information about the black box investment theory.

Towards the end, they even offered generous terms–if she agreed to enroll, they would set up a special honors program for her and provide full financial Support

Finally, they clearly stated that WI Business School would keep her enrollment slot for life.

As long as she wanted, she could report to the school at any time.

Eliza had never read these emails.

After she decided to give up studying abroad, she never logged into that email account again

As Belle once put it, it was a one track mind–stubborn

She never expected that, years later, the email account would be accessed again.

She was operating everything live through the projector, so there was no possibility of any trickery.

The reporters were filining the entire process. capturing every frame!

Chapter 289

When they were assigned to interview at the school, they weren’t exactly thrilled, thinking it wasn’t anything sensational.

Now, however, they were thrilled, almost wishing they could shove the camera right into Medea’s face.

The moment Medea saw Eliza successfully log in, a chill shot up her spine.

The slow–witted Gideon, however, had a sudden flash of clarity.

le stammered, “So… does this count as academic fraud?”

Medea wanted to deny it, but her throat felt like it was being squeezed, and she couldn’t make a sound.

In such a cold day, a layer of cold sweat formed on her brow.

he struggled to steady herself.

Inconsciously, she turned around, habitually seeking Calvin’s help.

n the past, he had always been there for her.

o, she hoped the same for this time.

hey were only two meters apart, but for some reason, she couldn’t quite read Calvin’s face.

i

lis eyes were deep, his expression unreadable, but his demeanor was calm, with a faint ripple of emotion hidden beneath the surface.

Are you saying that this paper was originally written by Eliza eight years ago, and Medea plagiarized it eight years later?”

Didn’t I hear that Medea is a finance Ph.D. from WT Business School? Is that title legitimate?”

Your actions not only affect you personally, but also harm the reputation of our scholars in the international academic community. Have you thought about ow your shortcut will bring shame to those who have been quietly working and upholding integrity?”

he reporter’s questions became sharper, catching Medea off guard.

he had never experienced such a humiliating situation in her life.

he one who had always supported her, Xander, now stood frozen in place, as if he had been slapped repeatedly, overwhelmed with shame.

he years of admiration and affection came crashing down in an instant, and the weight of it made it hard for him to breathe.

he feeling was indescribable.

ut Eliza wasn’t done with Medea.

he looked directly at her, her voice calm yet chilling, “If this evidence isn’t enough to prove you plagiarized my paper, I have even more proof

cademician Adams picked up on her cue and added, “I’ve confirmed the entire chain of evidence and applied for notatization, which is why I Hvalidated

Medea’s exam score!”

Furthermore, we will pursue legal action against you!”

The announcement left everyone in the room gasping in shock.

Pursuing legal responsibility meant that Medea could face the cancellation of her degree qualification, the revocation of her degree, damage to her credit record,

and more.

she could even be added to the national credit information sharing platform for dishonesty, which would affect her career development

Medea felt a wave of coldness wash over her from all directions, creeping up to her head.

Unconsciously, she took a step back, staggering, overwhelmed by an avalanche of fear.

She couldn’t accept this blow.

Everything went black in front of her, and her body collapsed.

The person closest to her was Xander.

If it were any other time, he would have caught her.

But at this moment, his mind was blank.

His limbs were unresponsive, and he could only watch as she fell in front of him.

Cousin!” Vivian’s cry broke the silence in the office, “Cousin, what’s wrong? Call an ambulance! Brother–in–law, save my cousin!”

n the ensuing chaos, Medea was taken away by Calvin.

Vivian followed them.

On the other side, only Xander and Gideon remained, standing motionless.

he tense silence was finally broken by Baxter, who had found his way in.

Did I come a bit late?”

Baxter knocked on the door and, seeing Eliza, his eyes lit up.

his school’s layout was like a maze, and it took him forever to find his way here!

Has the score been announced?” Baxter asked, his main concern now being the results.

.cademician Adams answered, announcing briskly, “The graduate student admitted this year is Eliza! Additionally, I will host a mentorship banquet at the top loor of the Golden Hotel in one week, and everyone is welcome to attend!”

L

mentorship banquet!

hat meant Eliza was not only Academician Adams’s graduate student, but also his apprentice!

lecause only apprentices would have an official mentorship banquet!

lander suddenly turned to look at Eliza, his gaze now intense and deep.

axter, upon hearing the news, was shocked.

Was Eliza really this capable?

As for Eliza, she remained composed, calmly working on her computer and preparing to log out of her email account.

Baxter, standing directly in front of the projector, noticed an email and asked, “Hey, Isn’t that Josh’s email address?

At his reminder, Lliza noticed an unread email from Josh from eight years ago.
