The senior management at the meeting looked towards me, then subconsciously turned their eyes to Professor Theodore Ashworth. Their expressions were tense, waiting for his stance

on this explosive situation.

The silence stretched uncomfortably as everyone held their breath. The weight of their

collective gaze felt heavy on my shoulders.

Sophia seized the initiative, her voice cutting through the tension like a blade. “Are you not going to pursue this matter simply because Elena is Professor Ashworth’s student?”

Her words hit their mark perfectly. The senior management shifted uncomfortably in their

seats.

“This puts us in an awkward position,” one of the directors muttered. “It makes it seem like

we’re showing favoritism towards the Professor.”

Another nodded grimly. “And disregarding our own authority in the process.”

Sophia’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction at their reaction. She had successfully planted

seeds of doubt about the fairness of the investigation.

Ignoring the potential consequences, Sophia turned to face me directly. Her voice rose with

false righteousness.

“The neural regeneration serum research results are under your responsibility, Chief Healer Elena.” Her finger pointed accusingly at me. “You need to give everyone an explanation for

the current situation.”

The room fell silent again. All eyes were on me now, waiting for my response.

I met her gaze calmly, a slight smile playing at the corners of my mouth. “I can’t guarantee

that the result I report to everyone will be what you want to see.”

My words carried a subtle warning that made Sophia’s confident expression falter slightly.

Professor Theodore Ashworth slowly opened his water cup and took a measured sip. His

movements were deliberate, commanding attention without saying a word.
