Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

Chapter 645

Just after Edna got the boot, she watched, powerless, as not one, but two of her labs were slapped with notices for mandatory renovations. It felt like the sky was falling.

"Edna, what do we do now?" Sybil asked, panic lacing her voice as she reached for Edna.

Slater was freaking out, scratching his head like a monkey on speed.

Finals were just around the corner, and with the labs in this state, their projects were on hold.

No progress meant nothing to show for their semester work. What were they supposed to present?

This wasn't just about grades; it could mean the difference between graduating or not.

Hertha looked equally stunned.

But deep down, everyone knew this was Roseanne and her crew's doing.

Hadn't they done something similar to them before?

It was a case of what goes around comes around.

If complaints could be weaponized, well, they just got a taste of their own medicine.

Among them, Grace was the only one unfazed.

She wasn't into research or academics. Getting into grad school was more about padding her resume and securing a good job or a better match for marriage.

Whether the lab was operational or the project was affected didn't really matter to her.
