He wanted to argue for himself, but the principal and other school directors were present. The classroom became quite quickly.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, the principal walked over and said, \u201cKathy, I have read your thesis. I think it\u2019s not bad, so you can pass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was dumbfound and didn\u2019t come to her senses.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at Joseph through the crowd. She didn\u2019t know when he had been here.<\/p>\n<p>When the teachers had asked her questions, she understood that they meant to not allow her to pass, especially the dean. However, the dean did not have any grudges with her. Why did she aim at her?<\/p>\n<p>She knew well about her thesis, but she was angry when they obviously picked on her.<\/p>\n<p>It happened again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you think?\u201d The principal looked at the teachers of the thesis supervisory committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also think that the thesis is good. We were not being professional just now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The principal narrowed his eyes and looked around the classroom. Finally, he looked at the dean.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are not the member of the committee, but you have questioned the thesis many times. Do you not trust our school\u2019s professors?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The dean couldn\u2019t help but tremble as she heard his words. According to the rules, she shouldn\u2019t have been here.<\/p>\n<p>However, now that she came here, the teachers would adopt her opinion for her sake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Principal, I\u2019m just giving my opinion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard it, but I\u2019m afraid your knowledge is not comparable to that of the student who answered. I\u2019m very disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The dean was so embarrassed when she was criticized in public. However, she did not dare to say anything because there were many important figures here.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah also arrived today. She was Kathy\u2019s thesis supervisor. She had corrected the problems if there were. Kathy would have graduated as she expected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Principal, we should investigate it clearly. We need truth,\u201d Hannah said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvestigate what? It was my fault this time. I was too strict with her.\u201d The dean interrupted her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStrict? It\u2019s about the reputation of our school. You was not strict. You did it on purpose,\u201d the headmaster said coldly. \u201cAll of you, follow me to the office!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The classroom became quiet soon. Then, Kathy was informed that she had passed the thesis oral defense.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah walked towards her and said, \u201cKathy, it\u2019s all thanks to Mr. Joseph who helped you. I was too careless five years ago. I should have helped you make it clear. I\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kathy smiled. If those people really wanted to harm her back then, the result would be the same even if Hannah helped her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s me who should thank you, Teacher. I am so grateful to you when you help me this time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re quite talented. You should have studied medicine,\u201d Hannah advised.<\/p>\n<p>She didn\u2019t know what Kathy was doing now, but without her diploma, she probably wouldn\u2019t be able to do anything related to her major.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy smiled. She still have a long way to go.<\/p>\n<p>Joseph was still sitting in the back of the classroom. Many students knew that Joseph was here, so came to ask him professional questions.<\/p>\n<p>He was one of the school board and a famous professor of neurology in City N. Everyone knew him in the medical world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSorry, it\u2019s late now. Everyone, go back early.\u201d After Joseph finished his sentences, he walked through the crowd towards Kathy.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy looked at the man in a white shirt and black pants. His was handsome, elegant and noble. He was so outstanding that people couldn\u2019t take their eyes off him.<\/p>\n<p>Holding her hand, Joseph took her out.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy was still lost in thought. After a long time, she finally found her voice. \u201cWhy did you come with the principal?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoston University is investigating teachers\u2019 bribery. I\u2019m here to send evidence to the principal. It\u2019s just a coincidence.\u201d Joseph\u2019s voice was gentle.<\/p>\n<p>Kathy bit her lip. She was always under Joseph\u2019s control in sex. He was energetic, but she would not be able to hold on for long. However, she had to obey Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>She thought she had worked hard \u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Boston University\u2019s thorough investigation into teachers\u2019 bribery quickly made headlines. Quite a lot of people were involved. Everyone in the school was worried about themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert\u2019s relationship with Laura, the dean, was uncovered. Then, she was taken to the police station and was under the investigation. Besides the replacement of Kathy\u2019s thesis five years ago, many other students also reported something against the rules. The school had conducted an unprecedented large-scale investigation.<\/p>\n<p>In the Hilton\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Billy received a call from Herbert\u2019s lawyer. He asked him to release her on bail.<\/p>\n<p>When they arrived at the police station, there were many reporters at the entrance. The bodyguards blocked them and Billy entered sulkily.<\/p>\n<p>He also asked people to investigate Kathy\u2019s matter, but he didn\u2019t expect that Joseph\u2019s actions were faster than his, and it involved a lot of people.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert was released on bail. She wanted to blame all on Laura, but she needed Billy\u2019s help.<\/p>\n<p>However, his expression was extremely cold, stopping anyone from approaching him.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert walked over nervously. \u201cYou\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI won\u2019t help you,\u201d Billy said in an indifferent tone after seeing through Herbert\u2019s thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t the one behind the plot.\u201d Herbert denied it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think I\u2019ll believe you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBilly, you are my fianc\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will break off the engagement.\u201d Billy\u2019s face remained cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-886","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/886","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
