Chapter 255:

While the students stumbled over their defense, Harlee let out a quiet laugh, shaking her head with a warm smile crossing her face. What a charming group of adorable, sweet students!

Just then, a challenging voice rose from the crowd.

“Harlee, those students from the School of Art were merely voicing the truth. Why did you ask the students from Aerospace Mechanical to disparage them? Has the world lost all regard for truth?”

At Adelina’s proclamation, the previously quiet crowd began to buzz with renewed energy. Students from the Aerospace Mechanical Engineering Department seized the opportunity to voice their opinions, escalating the argument into a fervent dispute, where harsh words flew freely.

“Try saying that one more time, I dare you!”

Perhaps the icy severity of Harlee’s stare unnerved the most confrontational among them, causing them to falter and step back apprehensively. Watching Harlee’s audacious confidence flourish even amid the media storm, Adelina’s annoyance flared.

With a voice thick with scorn, she challenged Harlee.

“Harlee, is it really necessary to intimidate these students? It’s a fact that you only possess a high school diploma.

Everyone here is simply pointing out the glaring unfairness.”

With a mocking smirk, Harlee retorted, “Oh? A fact?”

Adelina’s face twisted into a smug grin.

“What more could it be? How can you assert that you’re fit to educate Baythorn University’s students, especially on intricate aeronautical engineering topics?”

Adelina had dug deep for her ammunition.

Averie had confided that a familial feud had robbed Harlee of her university education, leaving her with just a high school background.

As for mastering aeronautical engineering, Adelina surmised that it was a stretch far beyond Harlee’s reach, which bolstered her confidence.

Harlee reacted with a slight arch of her eyebrow. She had been waiting for just this sentence, ready to turn the tables.

“What if I can lay down the facts for you?”

Adelina let out a mocking laugh and said, “Really? It would be utterly remarkable if you could validate your claim. I’m inclined to trust in your innocence, yet… The evidence is overwhelmingly against you. You wouldn’t hold this against me, would you, Harlee?”

“Is slander now perfectly acceptable?” Harlee replied, her tone thick with scorn, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Watching Harlee maintain her composure, seemingly unfazed and strategically prepared, Adelina bit her lip, wary of agreeing too quickly. She suspected Harlee would just unveil some damning evidence.

The crowd, however, was growing increasingly agitated.

“What utter nonsense! Who’s slandering who here? Could a judge from our distinguished School of Art truly stoop so low as to slander someone without any real credentials?”
