Professor Wells nodded. "Not just Mrs. Mendes-the reporters are still holding their ground too."
Dean Larson let out a cold chuckle. "They're certainly persistent."
Professor Wells sighed. "It's not surprising. This is Adams University, a top institution with a century of prestige.
The school has never had a scandal like this, and now that they've found an opening, they won't let go easily."
He paused before adding, "But it's not just about the university. You know as well as | do—Sarah has a
complicated background. People are just waiting to find something they can use against her. And now, with Mia
suddenly having a breakdown right in front of the reporters... They're practically salivating over this."
"I know," Dean Larson said, cutting him off.
Professor Wells hesitated before continuing, "But we can't let this go on any longer. The board of trustees has
already caught wind of it, and they want immediate action."
Dean Larson's expression darkened. "The board? Hah. Nothing ever escapes them, does it?"
"The board is one thing," Professor Wells said carefully, "but Mr. Wilson personally stepped in."
Dean Larson's eyes narrowed in surprise. "The Wilson family? They never interfere in school matters. Why would
Mr. Wilson concern himself with something so... trivial?"
It didn't make sense.
A student who had a counseling session and then took her own life, an angry mother making a scene at the
school gates, and a scandal with the media-none of these should be significant enough for someone as powerful
as Mr. Wilson to
care.

Why now?
Professor Wells shook his head. "I was just as surprised when | got the call. But this only proves one thing-the
board is watching this situation very closely. If we don't handle this soon, I'm afraid the Reynolds family will get
involved as well. After all, Mia's condition yesterday... was far from stable."
Dean Larson let out a sharp scoff. "It's infuriating. What were the security guards even doing? Mia Reynolds had
a full-blown breakdown at the school gates, and not a single one of them stepped in to protect her? She's a
student of Adams University, and now we've made a spectacle of ourselves."
"The security team on duty yesterday has already been punished," Professor Wells explained. "But the reporters
had completely blocked off the entrance. Most of the guards thought it was just Mrs. Mendes making another
scene."
Dean Larson shut off the news articles on his computer screen and slowly stood up. "Let's go. We can't ignore
this any longer."
At the university gates, Mrs. Mendes patted her numb legs. She had been kneeling or sitting there since early
morning, and the hours of stillness had left her body aching. But she couldn't afford to relax—not in front of all
these reporters.
She hadn't noticed anything unusual until a sudden murmur spread through the crowd. The reporters stirred,
their cameras shifting toward the school entrance. Mrs. Mendes quickly turned her head.
Dean Larson and Professor Wells were walking toward them with steady, composed strides.
Even faced with an army of flashing
cameras, Dean Larson remained
calm. "Ladies and gentlemen then
police repeat a
theroug investigation. Miss Sanders
has not committed any crimes. If
anyone still has concerns about
impartiality, we will be releasing the
full security footage shortly." The

His voice softened, becoming more
personal. "Regardless of the

this institution, | sincerely apologize

Without hesitation, Dean Larson bent at the waist in a perfect ninety-degree bow -a deep, solemn gesture of
respect.
The cameras flashed wildly.
Professor Wells followed his lead, bowing just as deeply beside him.
