Roseanne's face turned frosty. "Everyone and their mother has seen my interview video online. If you still have a problem with my score, by all means, take it up with the university. But don't just start accusing me without any proof." "The cost of spreading rumors is way too low nowadays. Like the person who sneakily posted that photo of me and Mr. Reynolds online, we still haven't figured out who's behind it."

As Roseanne spoke, her gaze was locked on Hertha, not missing a single twitch or flicker of emotion on her face.

The moment she mentioned the "photo" and the "mastermind behind it", Hertha's eyes darted away, a clear sign of guilt.

It was obvious to Roseanne that Hertha was the one behind it all. This wasn't entirely surprising, but it was still within the realm of possibility.

Roseanne shot back, "Why are you coming at me with all this? Is it just me or is there a hint of jealousy in your words?"

Hertha's face then took on a look of regret, as if she was kicking herself for not thinking of a better scheme earlier.

"...And what's there for you to be so smug about? Millie's pregnant, carrying my brother's baby. Bet you didn't know that." Roseanne responded calmly, "Actually, I found out about it just a day before you did."

Hertha was speechless.

reacted as if Roseanne had stepped on her tail, her temper flaring up instantly, "Who do you think you are? Ms. Payne being out doesn't give you the right to send me packing! I'm getting in today, what are you gonna do about it?" "I
