Chapter 246:

Any words of concern felt hollow.

But besides concern, he had nothing else to offer and was not in a position to ask why she hadn’t responded.

In the cafeteria on the first floor, students from the Aerospace Mechanical Engineering Department, fresh from a lecture, were bustling for food. Out of nowhere, someone in the crowd yelled, “Miss Sanderson is making headlines! Check the trending topics!”

Kaysen pulled out his phone and scrolled through the trending topics.

His face reddened with anger.

“What is this nonsense? Do they think they can just slander her like this? Not while I’m around!”

Kaysen left his meal untouched and plunged into defending Harlee online. The other students rallied, resolved not to let a respected teacher be maligned by internet trolls.

Meanwhile, Harlee had just plugged in her phone. Noticing the online commotion, she immediately video-called Tonya.

“Well, look who finally picked up! Tonya and I almost broke our fingers trying to get through…” Ritchie shared every detail, including how he and Tonya had worked together to erase all traces of Harlee’s photos from the internet.

“I appreciate the efforts you two put in,” Harlee replied calmly, her gratitude apparent to those who knew her well.

“Don’t forget to treat us to a meal!” Tonya pouted.

Harlee gave a soft laugh.

“Of course.”

Ritchie’s face turned serious.

“What’s our next move? Should I handle the person behind this?”

Harlee maintained her composure.

“No need. Just continue with the photo cleanup online. I’ll handle everything else.” Her voice became sharp and cold.

“Adelina won’t escape this!”

Ritchie and Tonya paused, silently pitying Adelina.

Anyone who crossed Harlee faced severe consequences.

“By the way, Harlee, did you know who was behind this when it first started blowing up?” Tonya asked.

Harlee raised an eyebrow.

A despairing cry came through the phone. With a slight smile, Harlee responded in her gentle, pleasant tone, “You know, I like to keep a low profile.” Without their help, even if she had figured out who the culprit was, clearing the photos would have taken much longer.

The three shared a knowing smile.

Harlee then outlined her strategy.

“Got it. We’ll look after the photos while you deal with the mastermind,” Tonya and Ritchie said in unison.
