Chapter 236:

“We’ve worked for over a decade to earn our roles as judges, yet you, Harlee, get to lecture without lifting a finger. It’s truly something to envy.”

Hearing this, the surrounding students looked bewildered.

“Really, the school standards are declining.

How can they just let anyone lecture?”

“I know those two girls being bullied. They’re distinguished alumni of the School of Art. My friend was thrilled when she heard the school had invited them as judges.”

“Who is this woman making them cry?”

“I know!” someone shouted from the crowd.

“Look at the school’s posts. This woman used connections to become a lecturer to build up her reputation.”

As Adelina listened to the murmurs around her, her lips twisted into a cunning, cold smile. Pretending shock at the post, she exclaimed, “Oh…

Harlee, is this your educational background they’re revealing? How can they be so cruel? Harlee, you must clarify that you’re more than just a middle school graduate and you’re actually a high school graduate!”

Adelina’s smile widened. She scoffed inwardly.

Harlee dared to compete with her for a man? She’d ruin Harlee’s reputation and see how Harlee could compete then!

After Harlee agreed to lecture at Baythorn University, Willis eagerly spread the news. In just one day, nearly everyone knew about it.

Adelina was among the first to hear the news. She couldn’t bear the thought of Harlee rising up and surpassing her, so she secretly posted several things on the university’s website to tarnish Harlee’s reputation.

Lindsay chimed in, “Now it makes sense. I was puzzled why Baythorn University would invite someone so unknown for a lecture. The Sanderson family’s influence really does reach far.” Lindsay and Adelina had left before the Sanderson family banquet was over, so they didn’t know Harlee was the head of Janessa Studio. When they found out Harlee was giving a lecture on aerospace engineering, they hurried over to mock her.

“Are you done?” Harlee’s gaze was cold as she stared Lindsay and Adelina down.

Adelina quickly said with a bitter tone, “Oh, Harlee, are you upset now?”

“Why should I justify my qualifications to lecture at Baythorn University to you? Maybe you should focus on enhancing your artistic skills instead. You two claimed to be famous designers? How hilarious!” Harlee sneered, cutting Lindsay and Adelina off before they could continue, and headed briskly toward the Aerospace Mechanical Engineering Department. She needed to address the slanderous posts first.

Unwilling to back down, Adelina called out, “What’s there to be so proud of? My fashion design skills were even praised by the head of Janessa Studio!”

Unfortunately, Harlee didn’t hear that remark. If she had, she surely would have laughed out loud.

To emphasize the significance of the lecture, Baythorn University had scheduled it in the largest auditorium on campus, capable of holding nearly three hundred people.
