Chapter 185

The next day. Ophelia arrived at the studio, planning to discuss the recently acquired real estate company with Chloe.
“Ms. Spencer.”
“Good morning. Ms. Spencer.”
A lot of people greeted Ophelia along the way, but their expressions seemed a bit different than usual.
“Elia” Chloe came out of the office, looking somewhat serious. She handed her phone to Ophelia. “Take a look at this trending topic.
Ophelia glanced at it briefly. #DellanexUniversity ProfessorHits SomeoneAtGrocery Store#
She frowned slightly and tapped to take a closer look.
Never seen someone so arrogant, cutting in line and hitting people. This person is a professor at Dellanex University. With this kind of behavior, she’s setting a bad example for students.]
Ophelia snorted, thinking. Does it have to be that obvious?”
There was also a video included.
The video was a bit noisy, making it hard to hear the conversation, but it was clear that she was holding the woman’s wrist with a calm and indifferent expression. The woman whose wrist she was gripping looked quite miserable.
In the end, the camera clearly captured the woman’s timid look at her.
This happened on the day the film crew began shooting. She and Sharon went to the supermarker and encountered a woman falsely accusing a little girl of stealing a phone.
Unexpectedly, someone with bad intentions filmed a video, edited it to twist the facts, and posted it online.
“Ignore it. Ophelia looked away, unconcerned.
Chloe said. “But people online are digging up your personal info now”
Ophelia thought, ‘Are these people really this bored?
Yeah, people online nowadays are willing to believe anything they see.
“Anyway, they don’t have to take responsibility for what they say online, so people just like to mindlessly bash others. Plus, if
it were an ordinary person, it probably wouldn’t cause such a stir.
‘But add the words “professor at Dellanex University” and it carries a whole different weight.
“Have they traced the source of the video? Let’s just handle it legally,” asked Ophelia
She didn’t have the time to bother with such a trivial matter,
They’ve checked. It’s a student from Dellanex University. Are you sure you want to go through with legal action?” Chloe knew Ophelia well. She was the kind to give someone a second chance due to her kindness.
“Yes.” Ophelia nodded.
95
She had given the second chance in her previous life.
Chloe raised an eyebrow, looking a bit surprised but also pleased. “You’ve learned well from Mr. Sinclair.”
“Really?” asked Ophelia..
Did she?
The two naturally skipped over that topic and started discussing the real estate company.
In this area, they were both inexperienced and needed to hire experts from outside to manage it.
Currently, the company had nothing but two pieces of land and couldn’t operate properly.
They needed to recruit department heads to get the company running. It was a major task.
Chloe selected several executives from other companies through a headhunting agency.
Ophelia took a look and wasn’t particularly satisfied.
Suddenly, she slapped her forehead, realizing how simple it was to hire people.
Hiring top–notch talents for each department was even simpler
It was the internship and job–hunting season for the seniors at Dellanex University. Instead of recruiting seasoned professionals from the business world, she could give these inventive college students a shot.
She mentioned it to Chloe, and they immediately saw eye to eye
Just then. Ophelia’s phone rang.
“Ms. Spencer? This is Mr. Glenn,” said Raphael
It wasn’t hard to guess why Raphael was calling, especially with Dellanex University” still trending on social media.
Raphael cleared his throat and spoke politely, “I’ll get straight to the point. I’m calling about the online rumors regarding your altercation at the supermarket. The situation is escalating and impacting both you and the university, so we need to discuss how to address iL”
“What exactly do you mean, Mr. Glenn?” asked Ophelia.
Raphael said, “If there’s been any misunderstanding. I hope you can respond quickly. But if…”
The remaining words didn’t need to be spoken. They both knew what it implied.
Ophelia said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll handle it”
That was the response Raphael was hoping for. If she resolved in that would be ideal. If not, the school could always issue a statement later.
At the girls‘ dormitory of Dellanex University, “Lesly, didn’t you promise me you wouldn’t share that video?” Carly questioned, as the video shot to number one overnight.
Lesly looked innocent. “I didn’t release this video. You can’t keep things like this a secret forever. Ms. Spencer’s integrity is questionable. Even if I didn’t expose it, wasn’t someone else bound to step up for justice?”
News about this incident was appearing all over the internet, and it also made its way to the school forum.

Chapter 185
Yesterday, the forum was abuzz with posts about The Genius Glil is a Professor, and triday it was Line at Supermarket and 11its Sonicone“,
about “Professor Cuts
“Carly, I’m really doing this for your benefit. Without Ms. Spencer, the school will hire other professors. You’re smart and quick on your feet. Andrew’s graduating and starting his internship this year, so you should make the most of this final six- month chance,” said Lesly
Carly couldn’t be bothered to talk to her and turned to leave.
Lesly was the only one left in the dormitory. She picked up her phone and continued to steer online opinion, directing the blame toward Ophelia
[There are all kinds in this world. Tve heard she’s not only a professor at Dellanex University but also the founder of the “la Reverie” brand]
[Really? She’s the one? I can’t believe I liked the “La Reverie branil so much.]
[I’ve found it!]
Someone released Ophelia’s unedited information to the public.
It now trended on social media again. #Realldentity Of TheAssaulting Professor #LaReverie FounderAssaults#
Lesly watched the clueless netizens attacking Ophelia, and a smirk appeared on her lips.
She thought. Why does this woman have it all? She’s young, beautiful, a professor, and has won so many awards. It’s just not fair
Now she is getting slammed by so many netizens. That’s what fairness looks like!
At that moment, a trending topic reached the top spot. #RexReyesSpeaksForThe Accused#
Lesly frowned and quickly opened the trending topic. She wondered, “Is there something wrong with the topic? Shouldn’t it be “speaking for the person who was beaten“?
Rex: [Let me see who’s spreading this crap. Are you guys blind? My sister was obviously defending what was right. Who among you actually saw her hit anyone? Don’t just watch a video and start bashing without using your brains. A bunch of nobodies.]
Another trending topic reached the top. #SharonCampbell Tell HerSide#
Sharon [I was there. The lady in front falsely accused the little girl of stealing her phone and even got physical. Elia stepped in to defend the girl, just asked the lady to apologize, and did not get physical herself.]
Thomas: [My wife is right. Even though I didn’t witness it myself you can check the supermarket’s CCTV footage to see what truly happened.]
Lesly, who was originally relaxed, suddenly sat up straight, confused. ‘What’s happening? What’s going on? Why are celebrities speaking up for Ophelia?
Suddenly, the tide of public opinion shifted.
Wair, what? Ophelia is actually Rex’s sister? Thank goodness I didn’t get her wrong.]
[I trust Sharon. If Sharon says so, then her friend must have great character.]
[Thomas has a point too. We can’t just look at things on the surface. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions without understanding the full story.
