Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 643

Bob scoffed, "What do you think? You believe this can end well? Take a look for yourself—"

With those words, he grabbed a document from the desk and flung it at her face.

Edna picked it up, her face growing paler as she read.

A written reprimand... Funding for her project slashed by half... Eligibility for next year's national research grant application revoked...

With each point, it felt like a mountain was being piled onto her shoulders.

By the time she left the office, Edna was practically hunched over.

Bob wasn't in much better shape. Although he had managed to shift all the blame onto Edna during their discussion, the university administration still issued him a warning for negligence and poor management, effective for six months. As soon as the college leadership heard the news, the dean and the secretary summoned him for a talk.

Their words were polite but their stance was firm. They euphemistically suggested a "sabbatical," but it was essentially a demotion, sidelining him.

After six months, by the time his "sabbatical" was over, it might be too late for any redemption.

Bob slammed his fist on the desk, regretting ever getting involved with Edna, whom he now deemed a fool. Now, everything was ruined!
