How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 508

The fact that Fairview University had come forward took Elodie by surprise.

After all, with everything happening in Eldermere, Jarrod had managed to keep the media at bay. For Fairview University to not only catch wind of things right away but also issue a public statement so quickly was unexpected.

Normally, there would have been an investigation first.

Any official stance needed to be taken with care-one wrong word or action, no matter how small, could damage a reputation.

"Fairview's School of Art certainly wasted no time," Alexander Sterling remarked, a hint of admiration in his voice. "Puts the press to shame, doesn't it?"

The media could speculate all they wanted, but a statement from the School of Art at Fairview-one of the country's top academies-carried real weight.

Elodie glanced at the School of Art's official page before speaking at last, her tone measured. "Old cases like this tend to drag on in court, but at the very least, everyone in the art world who knows their business can already see the truth. Still, a legal ruling will mean the most to the Thorne family."

Only then would her mother's suffering and the slander she endured finally be settled, once and for all.

Elodie had looked into attorneys back home.

Aside from the Silverstein Group's own elite legal team and those of other major firms, there was one name that stood above the rest in Eldermere: Albin.

Alexander knew of him too. Albin came from a family of lawyers, with a reputation that stretched across the country.
