Chapter 248
Rosalie nodded and said, “I completely understand how you feel as parents, but that doesn’t give you the right to cause trouble after taking money. Whether or not I sue you will depend on how you behave moving forward.”
“I… We’ll follow your lead, as long as… as long as you don’t sue us and this doesn’t affect our children.”
“Yes, yes, we’ll do whatever you say.”
They were genuinely scared by Rosalie’s words, so now they couldn’t care less about the money they had been paid to influence them. They just hoped this wouldn’t affect their children, which was their main concern.
Rosalie said, “Please go back for now. I’ll give you a formal response and explanation later.”
“Alright… alright.”
After the parents left, Rosalie stayed in the dean’s office.
Dustin looked at Rosalie, seeing that she seemed to have everything under control, and asked curiously, “Ms. Talley, have you figured out how to
resolve this?”
Yes.” Rosalie paused for a moment and then added, “This issue was caused by my family, and I apologize for the trouble it caused the school and you. I’ll resolve it as soon as possible.”
“It’s fine. Since you’ve already decided how to handle it, the school won’t get involved. If you need the school to take action at any point, just let me
know.”
Rosalie said, “Thank you. I’ll head out now.”
Meanwhile, online, the post smearing Rosalie resurfaced and quickly went viral, sparking another uproar. It landed at the top of X’s trending list with the headline, “Female Teacher with a High School Diploma from Hawthorne University Turns Out to Be a Research World Darling.”
The post went viral because several world–renowned figures from the medical, education, and research fields had shared the previous post that revealed Rosalie’s high school diploma.
Louis Joe: “Wait, my junior sister has a high school diploma? Are you serious, or is this just some joke?”
Brian Horton: “We tried everything to keep Dr. Talley on staff, but she refused. Hawthorne University is lucky to have her as a teacher. Now, people are actually calling for her to be kicked out?”
Edward Chen: “Please, Hawthorne University, fire Dr. Talley so we can have a chance to hire her at our school.”
If Hawthorne University’s official X account had previously tried to clarify things to defend Rosalie, these renowned experts from the research world stepped up to confirm her credentials. Nobody would still dare to keep harping on about Rosalie’s high school diploma after these big names spoke up.
Louis Joe, a top medical expert who has won several Nobel Prizes, publicly acknowledged Rosalie as his junior.
Brian Horton, the president of the world’s top university, whose credentials alone could shake the research world.
