Flora let out a soft chuckle, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she watched Connor turn a shade of red,
trying hard to maintain a serious demeanor. Just then, her phone started buzzing loudly in her pocket. It was
Cecelia calling. "Hey, what's all this online buzz about? How did you end up as an honorary professor at the
University of Maple Grove?" Cecelia's voice was almost frantic. Getting caught up in academic circles was no
small matter; one wrong move could spell trouble. "The stuff online?" Flora furrowed her brows.
"... You mean to tellyou don't know yet?" Cecelia was incredulous.
Flora raised an eyebrow, pulled out her phone, and checked Twitter. There were over 99 notifications, all tagging
her with harsh comments, and several trending topics featuring her name.
She skimmed through them nonchalantly, "Oh, now I get it."
Her calm response was a stark contrast to Cecelia's near panic: "I'm with Mr. Raul right now. We'll head back
ASAP. These academic scandals can be a real pain, hold tight-oh wait, Flora! The University of Maple Grove just
issued a statement! The National Department of Health has chimed in too! And-oh wow! You've got to check this
out!”

An hour later, the online uproar against Flora had only intensified. Someone had posted a picture of Flora
walking with Mr. Richard, who was carrying her backpack and looking at her fondly, like a father would at his
daughter.
This picture only added fuel to the speculation that Mr. Richard had used his influence to make Flora an honorary
professor. It seemed to confirm everyone's suspicions.
The inteexploded with rage.
"Unbelievable. So much for being the top school in Austenberg, what a joke. Making a freshman an honorary
professor is ridiculous. It's obvious Mr. Garcia from the University of Maple Grove has a special connection with
Flora. She's a blight on academia."
"Ladies, we have to stand our
ground. Someone like Flora, who hasn't contributed anything to academia, probably hasn't even
published a paper, and isn't ever net
recognized by scholarly databases, being made an honorary professor is a slap in the face to truly talented
individuals."
"@University of Maple Grove, are you just going to stay silent? It's been an hour since this broke, and nothing
from you? From what |
know, even Dr. Jules from your net
school isn't an honorary professor, right? He's a medical genius, and yet he doesn't qualify, so how does Flora?"
Just then, the renowned Dr. Jules spoke up.
Jules: "Cut the crap. What's wrong with Flora being an honorary professor? We practically begged her to take the
position, and | even offered her my role as dean of the medical school, but she turned it down! Please, leave me
out of this
mess. You don't want to get on
Flora's bad side."
Jules was using a new account, so at first, no one paid much attention, but he kept replying until people finally
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnoticed.
"?2? Dr. Jules, really? This has to be Flora using a fake account to hype herself up, right?"
"Claiming to be Flora, how bold. Grandpa Jules is way too old for Twitter."
Jules was furious; he was more like an uncle in age, and now they were questioning his identity!
He immediately called headquarters to get his identity verified.
Meanwhile, netizens were still having a field day mocking Flora.
"Did you see that? Someone pretending to be Dr. Jules, absolutely hilarious. Is this Flora's hired fan club? She's
really made a mess now!"
"But hold on, that might actually be Dr. Jules! Look, the University of Maple Grove lab has spoken!"
University of Maple Grove Lab: "Miss Flora, the entire medical lab is yours if you want it! Please consider joining
us. Oh, and Dr. Jules was so upset he nearly had a fit-that account is truly his. Anyone spreading false rumors will
be hearing from our lawyers."
