Chapter 245
So, Claudia came to the office with Edward.
Everything was fine at first, but after going out to meet Julian and coming back, Edward was in such a bad mood that it scared her.
“What happened, Edward?” She stepped forward and began massaging his shoulders, trying to calm him down.
After a while, Edward finally started to calm down and told Claudia about what Julian had said to him.
After hearing Edward’s words, Claudia’s expression also changed. “What does Julian mean? Didn’t he say he wouldn’t care about Rosalie anymore? Why is he suddenly trying to help her? Could it be that he’s rekindled old feelings for Rosalie?”
Edward’s head hurt from the anger, “What’s the use of thinking about that now? The key is figuring out how to minimize the impact on me.”
He never expected that spending money to get the incident trending would actually put him in a situation where he couldn’t back out.
If Julian had just asked him to handle the situation with Rosalie, it would’ve been fine. Worst–case scenario, he could just tell the media it was all a misunderstanding, clear his name, and be done with it.
But Julian also demanded an apology from him to Rosalie, and that meant he couldn’t just walk away from the situation unscathed.
The only difference now was how much the cost he had to pay.
He rubbed his temples, sighed deeply, and said, “Don’t interrupt me, let me think about how to handle this.”
However, even if he was willing to pay the cost, there were still many people who were holding him back.
[Here’s a gossip post on the Hawthorne forum that Dustin ordered to be deleted. Huge scandal, shaking my worldview.]
Right after that, there was a post that had previously been anonymously posted on the Hawthorne forum by a student,
The post mentioned that Rosalie had not cared about the college entrance exam in her senior year because of an accident involving her uncle, and as a result, she had never attended university.
It also revealed that she was the child of her mother’s affair with another man, and after her mother’s death, her mother’s ex–husband had taken her in out of pity and raised her. Rosalie, instead of being grateful, had been afraid that her foster sister would steal her affection and had bullied her.
Not only that, she also suppressed her foster sister in class under the guise of being a teacher.
If the corruption in the education sector could spark public outrage, this kind of family scandal would definitely attract even more attention and
anger.
[Oh my, this is so shocking, how could the product of infidelity be so arrogant? Can someone like this really teach?]
[Isn’t this Rosalie the same person who is associated with the big shot in the medical field, Dr. Talley? Don’t you think this tarnishes Dr. Talley’s reputation?]
[How can someone like this be compared to Dr. Talley? Are you blind?]
Initially, netizens had some doubts about the first post due to comments from medical students, but when this post was shared, it completely fueled their anger.
At that moment, Rosalie had no idea that such a post was circulating, tarnishing her and her deceased mother’s reputation. She walked into the dean’s office, glanced at the angry parents, and then approached Dustin.
“Ms. Talley, I’ll handle this matter and give the public an explanation. You don’t need to get involved. Dustin was genuinely afraid that this mcident would make Rosalie so angry that she would leave, so he had never intended for her to personally handle the situation.
