Countless people had fought for the chance to bring him to conferences, hoping to ride on his reputation.

But this was the first time Calvin had ever been kicked out like this.

Utter humiliation.

His cheeks felt like they’d been slapped raw.

“You know who I am? And you dare throw me out?!”

The staffer’s tone turned impatient. “Professor Miller. Famous in the cancer research field. So, can you leave now?”

Clutching his chest, Calvin could barely breathe.

“You-you know me, and still treat me like this?”

The staffer had completely run out of patience. “How should I treat you? Would it be more polite to have you carried out? Fine.”

He waved his hand.

Several men in black suits immediately stepped forward, grabbed Calvin without giving him the chance to resist, and carried him out of the restricted area.

Rebecca turned pale from shock, too afraid to utter a word, worried she’d be thrown out too.

Micah quickly stepped forward to intercept.

“This is my professor. I’ll take care of him.”

The men released Calvin and returned to their posts.

“Professor, are you okay?”

Micah twisted open a bottle of water and handed it to him. “What happened?”

Calvin was still fuming, breathing heavily.

His face darkened, and he said nothing.

Micah felt a stab of regret.

If he had just stepped up earlier and defended Scarlett, maybe he would’ve been invited inside

too.

He was such a fool.

He’d known all along how well Scarlett was doing at Skycrest Labs. Even Mr. Wayne valued

her.

How could he have believed she’d plagiarized Rebecca?

Still, it wasn’t too late.

Scarlett used to treat him like family, even like a big brother.

If he apologized sincerely, she’d forgive him. That kind and thoughtful junior of his would

come back.

“Professor, maybe I should take you back—”

“No need!” Calvin snapped. The shame burned so hot he wanted to redeem himself immediately.

He yanked out his invitation and shoved it at Micah.

“You go. Find out exactly who Scarlett latched onto!”

Once he found out who was backing her, he could hit where it hurt.

Revenge was secondary. What mattered most was breaking the spell Scarlett had cast over

everyone.

Micah stared at the invitation, heart pounding.

“Yes, Professor. I won’t let you down.”

He clutched the invitation and ran toward the gate.

Calvin leaned against a nearby tree, his gaze locked on Scarlett’s retreating figure.

No matter what it took-

He would expose her for what she really was.

Someone who only chased fame and profit. A fraud who didn’t belong in the academic world.

Scarlett walked swiftly into Darian Hall.

Even inside, there were guards posted every few meters. The level of security showed how serious the matter was.

She underwent five more rounds of verification before finally arriving at the lab.

Fu Yi-the bodyguard who’d once held a square box at the Robert family estate-personally escorted her to change into a lab coat.

Meanwhile, Micah, Rebecca, and the other professors and top students entered through a different hallway.

“Why isn’t my sister coming with us?” Rebecca asked, her voice soft and pitiful, just as delicate as always when speaking to Micah.

You’d never guess she was the one who stole the invitation.

She played the victim perfectly.

Micah had mixed feelings.

On one hand, he felt Rebecca had broken lab rules and taken something she didn’t deserve.

But on the other hand, she was always so gentle, the kind of person you felt compelled to protect.

The conflicting emotions left him in no mood to analyze anything.

He gave a vague reply. “No idea.”

Rebecca picked up on his change in attitude.

But she wasn’t worried.

Guys like Micah, from poor families, were easy to deal with.
