Chapter 158 The Dean Approaches.

“Here comes Mr. Gosling!” someone shouted, and the crowd parted to make way. The portly dean hurried– over, first sweeping his gaze over everyone before finally landing on Calista. He forced a smile and said, “Calista, I heard you want to report Quincy because she stole something from you?”

The school’s higher–ups were aware that Calista was the adopted daughter of the Fairchilds. After her arrival, they treated her with great respect. This was the advantage of having powerful backing.

Calista evidently anticipated this and nodded. “Yes, the research assignment that Quincy submitted was actually the work I prepared for the combined master’s and doctoral

program.”

Quincy’s face turned deathly pale.

Seeing that Benedict could not interject, Quincy was worried that Calista would expose her today. However, that couldn’t happen! Regardless of the evidence Calista could produce, she would be able to refute it. If it really came to a showdown, it was still unclear who would have the upper hand.

However, Yelena wasn’t so forgiving. She stared at Calista nervously, her words laced with an implicit threat.

“Calista, are you really going to let a misunderstanding cause such a rift with your family? Yes, you’re successful now, but blood is thicker than water. If anything were to happen, it’s your real kin who would help you! Your recklessness is tarnishing our family’s reputation! Aren’t you afraid your father might forbid you from coming home in the future?”

Upon hearing this, Calista gave Benedict, whose face was ashen, a half–smile.

She spoke slowly, “Quincy’s grades are poor, and she has absolutely no talent for medical research. If she gets away with this once and tastes success, she will only become more audacious in the future, relying on usurping others‘ achievements to satisfy her own vanity. Even if I were to cover for her, it would be of no

use.

Calista’s demeanor had softened and her words held merit, Benedict’s expression finally cased a bit. Indeed, helping Quincy once could actually harm her!
