The Deadly Assassin Robin by Tristan Storm

Chapter 1042 Envious People

Joanna frowned as she stared at the flood of vicious comments.

She did not doubt that this was the work of people like Yvonne and Cadoc.

It was frustrating. She had thought university would be a place of peace, where she could focus on her studies without distraction. But filth was everywhere-even in an institution that was supposed to be a haven of knowledge and excellence, it was crawling with the worst kind of people.

She never intended to provoke anyone, yet she found herself caught in the crossfire.

Was there nowhere in this world where she could simply exist in peace?

People always said that those with great talent often met tragic ends. But it wasn't their talent that doomed them-it was the wretched, envious people who couldn't stand to see others shine.

The world could have been a much better place if only it weren't for the twisted, the despicable, the shameless, and the power-hungry.

People like them used every dirty trick in the book to tear down what was good and beautiful, leaving nothing but ruins in their wake.

No matter how kind-hearted or well-mannered Joanna was, reading such cruel slander made her eyes well up with tears.

For a moment, she wanted to march straight to Robin and tell him everything-let him deal with those vile people once and for all.

She opened WhatsApp, her finger hovering over Robin's profile picture. But then she hesitated.

She didn't want to burden him with this. Taking a deep breath, she locked her phone.

She would handle it herself. She'd go to the department head and confront these slanderous lies head-

on.

And if the department refused to take action, then she'd take it to the courts.

But Joanna was still too naive.

She had spent her life with Marge, struggling at the bottom of society, and she had never realized that the law was never made for the poor and powerless.

When those in power controlled the interpretation of the law, it ceased to be justice-it became a weapon for the elite.

Just as Joanna made up her mind to visit the department head's office, the university's social media groups exploded with activity.

Several prominent student leaders came forward, claiming that Joanna and Cadoc had been a real couple all along.
