Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 526

Edna Moore crossed her arms and looked down, a smirk on her face. "A complaint, you say?"

"Cut the act! The fire inspection went fine for all the other labs except for Roseanne's, which got a notice for improvement. You're telling me you had nothing to do with it?"

Edna's smile widened. "I'm swamped, barely have time to finish my reports and papers. Do you really think I'd waste my time squabbling with kids? But as for others... I can't say."

After all, with so many students under her wing, it was only natural for one or two to take issue with Roseanne and her team, wasn't it?

"You've grown bold, acting on your own without even a heads-up. Do I not matter to you anymore?!"

Edna frowned. "You called me here just for this? What, standing up for Madeleine's students now? That doesn't sound like you, Director White."

Babur scoffed. "You think you're so clever with these petty tricks? Pathetic!"

"This fire inspection was a joint operation by the campus and the local fire department. I don't care how you usually deal with them behind closed doors, but this has dragged the whole faculty into it!" A single lab getting a notice means the faculty shares the blame for oversight!

Especially since fire safety equipment is usually provided by the lab itself. The faculty is responsible for checking and approving it before lending it out to students.

"And you still think you're smart?" Babur sneered. "If the other department heads find out..."

Edna's expression shifted.
