Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Chapter 997

Flora let out a soft chuckle, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she watched Connor turn a shade of red, trying hard to maintain a serious demeanor. Just then, her phone started buzzing loudly in her pocket. It was Cecelia calling. "Hey, what's all this online buzz about? How did you end up as an honorary professor at the University of Maple Grove?" Cecelia's voice was almost frantic. Getting caught up in academic circles was no small matter; one wrong move could spell trouble. "The stuff online?" Flora furrowed her brows.

"... You mean to tell me you don't know yet?" Cecelia was incredulous.

Flora raised an eyebrow, pulled out her phone, and checked Twitter. There were over 99 notifications, all tagging her with harsh comments, and several trending topics featuring her name.

She skimmed through them nonchalantly, "Oh, now I get it."

Her calm response was a stark contrast to Cecelia's near panic: "I'm with Mr. Raul right now. We'll head back ASAP. These academic scandals can be a real pain, hold tight-oh wait, Flora! The University of Maple Grove just issued a statement! The National Department of Health has chimed in too! And-oh wow! You've got to check this out!!!"

...

An hour later, the online uproar against Flora had only intensified. Someone had posted a picture of Flora walking with Mr. Richard, who was carrying her backpack and looking at her fondly, like a father would at his daughter.

This picture only added fuel to the speculation that Mr. Richard had used his influence to make Flora an honorary professor. It seemed to confirm everyone's suspicions.
