Chapter 845
The students in the audience cast strange looks at Queena, murmuring amongst themselves.
For years at the Global Harmony Medical Institute, Queena had carefully cultivated her reputation. She was genuinely talented, beautiful, and rumored to come from a powerful background. Countless people looked up to her as a goddess and a role model.
But who would have thought that the very same Queena they admired would accept bribes to get someone like Steven into the Institute?
Steven was a quack who had killed someone through misdiagnosis. Could she really not have known?
No, she must have known. Otherwise, she would have recommended him openly instead of going through so much trouble to pull strings behind the scenes.
Feeling the stares from all directions and hearing the whispers that reached her ears, Queena clenched her hands by her sides so tightly her nails nearly broke the skin.
Anastasia!
She shot Anastasia a look filled with pure hatred.
Anastasia’s mood only improved.
She turned to the vice dean and asked, “How should such a serious offense be handled?”
The vice dean was also furious. He had always held high hopes for Queena and couldn’t believe he had misjudged her so completely.
“From this day forward, all of Queena’s special privileges are revoked, and her three previous outstanding student honors are rescinded! Queena, do you have any objections?”
Queena lowered her head, hiding the resentment in her eyes.
“…I have no objections.”
Losing her special privileges was something she could accept; it was of little consequence to her.
But having her outstanding student honors revoked meant she would lose her special status and her power to make recommendations!
However, compared to being expelled from the Institute, she had to grit her teeth and accept this outcome, no matter how unwilling she was.
“Considering this is your first offense, this punishment is already exceptionally lenient. I hope you will recognize your mistake and reform yourself!”
Suppressing the rage in her heart, Queena said, “Yes, I understand.”
The welcome reception ended with Steven being taken away by the police and Queena being punished.
The students who attended left satisfied after witnessing all the drama, excitedly discussing the events as they dispersed.
Queena stood rooted to the spot, her face a mask of utter darkness, an uncontrollable fire raging within her.
Being punished by the vice dean was one thing, but now there was a far more serious problem—Steven had been arrested!
Why was Steven arrested? She hadn’t forgotten that she was the one who helped him deal with Mr and
Mrs. Hill when they caused trouble two years ago!
Moreover, she and Steven had colluded on many things over the past two years. If Steven confessed everything… she would be finished!
At this thought, she felt an overwhelming urge to tear Anastasia to pieces.
“Hate me?” Anastasia strolled over with a smile. “It’s a bit early for that. You don’t think this is over, do you?”
Queena’s heart dropped, and her face darkened instantly. “What do you mean?!”
What did she mean?
Anastasia gave a cold laugh, turned, and walked away without another word.
Watching her sharp, decisive back, Queena was suddenly filled with a sense of
unease.
What was Anastasia planning to do?!
No, she absolutely could not just sit back and wait!
Her emotions churning, she glanced at Anastasia’s retreating figure her eyes flashing with a sudden, vicious resolve. She dialed a number.
“York, are you free? I’d like to see you…”
The next day, Anastasia had a clear
schedule, but she received a
last-minute message. A student assigned to a task had to Take
to t
emergency leave, and she was asked to fill in.
She didn’t suspect a thing and agreed immediately.
