Because this drama was either concocted by Minerva or by Alice herself.


    "Dean, isn’t it true that your reluctance to investigate this matter and your conviction that Ms. Ainsley is damaging the university’s reputation stems from the fact that your niece has been posting all these nderous messages on the campus forum? And that she stands to benefit from the schrship you were nning to award her?" Gerald said calmly. His words were enough to stir a reaction among the students, revealing the truth and causing a ripple of surprise.


    "Mr. Troy!!! Please, don’t nder me with baseless usations without evidence!" the Dean roared in anger.


    "So you understand that usations need evidence, yet you failed to properly investigate your own students, whom you should be nurturing. Instead, you convicted them based on nothing more than cropped photos and articles online, which are distorted andck actual facts," Hera replied with a sarcastic shrug.


    "We’ll soon find out whether this is nder or the truth, won’t we, Dean?" Gerald said, shing a confident smile as he signaled for the police behind him to step forward, causing the Dean to recoil in fear.


    "What do you mean?!" the Dean asked, his voice trembling as he stared at Gerald and the approaching police. "You can’t do this to me! I’m the Dean of this university!"


    "You were the Dean," Gerald replied nonchntly.


    "What?!" The Dean’s head snapped toward Gerald in disbelief.


    "The board has already decided to relieve you of your position. Your age and declining judgment have been damaging the university’s reputation, and your scandal, once it hits the media, will drag us all down," Gerald said with a devilish smirk.


    "I’ve already gathered all the evidence of your corruption, including your niece’s bullying, extortion, nder, and falsification of documents. So don’t worry—you and your family will be reunited in prison," Gerald said, suppressing augh as he nced at Hera, clearly expecting her praise.


    The revtion left everyone in stunned silence as they processed the shocking information, gazing at Gerald with awe. His swift handling of the situation and the Dean’s downfall seemed almost godlike. Gerald then dismissed the crowd, leaving only Hera and Logan behind under the pretense of discussingpensation for the mental and reputational damage she had suffered due to the Dean and his niece.


    Everyone understood that Hera had just endured a battle that nearly derailed her future and could see her distress. They offered their encouraging words one by one before leaving her alone in the Dean’s office with Gerald and two guards stationed at the door.</subtxt>
