Chapter 116: A Week Is A Week

Sean's face suddenly changed. Amber stepped forward and scolded Tina, "Tina, I know you can't stand the fact that you can't become Sean's student, but you are being too arrogant!" "Save your foolish tricks." Tina looked at Sean as if he were a ludicrous clown, lightly tapping her right index finger on the armrest of her chair. "We've barely exchanged a few glances in this school, and you claim to know my talent for perfumery?"

She laughed again, her expression playful. "How did you figure it out? Telepathy? Brainwave? Or just WiFi?"

The air in the auditorium froze for a moment, then burst into thunderous laughter. One of the students loudly said, "I see it now, today Sean was just looking for trouble with Miss Reed. Miss Reed has two PhDs, why would she be desperate to be your student?"

The boy next to him chimed in, "Exactly, it's getting weirder by the minute. If he doesn't want to take Miss Reed as a student, just say no. From the beginning, Miss Reed never showed any interest in being his student, but he and Amber are making it look like she was eagerly pursuing it. WiFi talent detection, right? Impressive!"

The crowd turned to see Albert Sitwell and Hendrik Stiller. None of the students from Class 22D had come to listen to Sean's lecture tonight, and neither had they planned to.

They had just stepped out to grab some snacks from the school canteen during their study break when they passed by the auditorium and heard that Sean was taking Amber as a student, so they decided to check out the commotion. The auditorium was packed, and they stood in the aisle listening. The more they heard Sean demeaning Tina, the angrier they got, and they couldn't help but retort.

Their interjection made the audience also feel that Sean and Amber's actions were overly deliberate. They were supposedly apologizing to Tina, but it seemed more like an opportunity to humiliate her.

Their purpose was blatantly exposed, and Sean froze on stage, his face turning serious. He suddenly regretted his arrogance, agreeing to help Amber use this situation to embarrass Tina, now finding himself unable to exit gracefully. "But Tina, it's truth you don't have a talent for perfumery; Grandma tested you herself," Amber said as Sean was at a loss for words, quickly trying to patch things up.

"Grandma taught me perfumery from a young age, and she favored me because of my talent. But because of this, you held a grudge against her and even asked the Farrell family to drive our family to bankruptcy..." She spoke, tears starting to flow, her face a portrait of genuine pain.

This narrative completely shifted the blame for the Reed family's bankruptcy onto Tina's jealousy, lightly glossing over her own actions.

Yet, some people believed her.

After all, outsiders didn't know the full story. In their eyes, Tina was the real Miss Reed; how could a normal person bankrupt their own family over a foster daughter?

As the whispers of her being an "ingrate" grew, Sean found his footing again.
