?Chapter 350:


    “Good evening to all,” Hurst began with polished ease. “I am Hurst Cooper, father to Mnie Cooper. Today, she acted inappropriately, causing harm to Ethan Watson at Wront University. We are here to extend a heartfelt apology to Ethan and assure everyone that such incidents will not recur. We request your forgiveness and ask that you continue to watch over us. Thank you.”


    Concluding his address, Hurst gave Mnie a sharp look. Tears welled up in her eyes as she struggled to hold back her emotions, managing to say, “Ethan, I’m sorry. I assure you, it will not happen again.”


    The school was buzzing with excitement and disbelief. As students congregated around the big screens in each ssroom, their eyes were glued to the unfolding scene. Mnie, of all people, was apologizing to amoner, and her father was right there with her. Was this some sort of bizarre twist in a plot?


    Following Hurst’s lead in the apology, a flurry of parents rushed to ensure that they weren’t outdone. One by one, they brought their children forward, making them apologize earnestly to Ethan and swearing that such errors would never be repeated.


    Those students without their parents present were so shaken that they hardly dared to move. With heads hung, they each took their turn to express their regret on camera.


    Behind Maia, Ethan was overwhelmed. Everything had shifted so rapidly that he hardly had time to adjust. He found Maia nothing short of astonishing. Ethan waspletely spellbound.


    As she witnessed the scene, Marisa erupted inughter, eager to ry theical turn of events to Maxwellter that evening. Her brother, always out of the loop, would relish this new piece of gossip, and she nned to encourage him to delve into this woman’s past as well.


    Marisa was deeply intrigued. What kind of woman had the power tomand such respect from Hurst and instill fear in other affluent families?


    “How fascinating,” she said.

    Back in the office, after the series of apologies, Maia concluded the livestream.


    Loraine, who had been quite haughty just a short while ago, quickly changed her demeanor. She approached Maia with a ttering grin, bowing slightly as she said, “Ms. Watson, with all the apologies made as you requested, perhaps we might now consider the incident resolved?”


    “This matter isn’t settled yet!” These words echoed through the office in a stern, authoritative tone. A distinguished older man, his grey hair perfectly groomed, entered the room.


    Gagher Richmond, the esteemed president of Wront University, had made an unexpected appearance.


    Upon noticing Gagher, Loraine immediately corrected her posture. Respectful looks from everyone else in the room followed. What could have brought the president to this ce?


    As Gagher surveyed the room with a piercing gaze, his voice, though soft,manded undeniable authority. “The events of today have reached my ears, and I am nothing short of appalled. Coming from families of such high standing, how is it that you falter at the very basics of decency and respect?”


    His words bore such weight that several students bowed their heads in embarrassment, and the parents present silenced themselves, too intimidated to speak.


    With a dismissive scoff, Gagher pointed decisively at Ethan. “Are there doubts about Ethan’s ce in the elite program? Let me rify — he is here because I chose him personally!”


    Shock registered on Loraine’s face. The president had never before personally selected a student. Throughout his tenure as president of the university, Gagher had never once personally chosen a student for admission.


    Gagher’s stern tone did not waver. “This young man deciphered a mathematical puzzle that stumped every other student in the elite program. Ethan is the most brilliant math talent I have evere across. It was I who insisted on his cement here, to guarantee he receives nothing but the finest educational opportunities.”
