Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 578

The reporter's questions grew sharper and more incisive, catching Bianca completely off guard.

Never in her life had she faced such a humiliating situation.

Henry, who had been her staunch supporter just moments before, now stood frozen in place, feeling as if he'd been slapped a thousand times. He was utterly mortified.

Years of admiration and affection crumbled in an instant, the weight of it all leaving him breathless.

He couldn't describe the feeling.

However, Noreen wasn't finished with Bianca yet.

She looked directly at Bianca, her voice so calm it was unnerving. "If this isn't enough to prove you plagiarized my paper, I have more substantial evidence."

Halley followed up, "I have already confirmed the entire chain of evidence and have had it notarized. That is why Bianca's score was nullified!"

"Furthermore, we will be pursuing legal action against you!"

This announcement made everyone in the room gasp.

Pursuing legal action meant Bianca could face consequences such as having her degree revoked, her academic credentials rescinded, and her credit record damaged.

If this was registered as a breach of trust, it would be recorded in the national credit information sharing platform, affecting her entire professional career.

A chill crept over Bianca from all directions, rushing to the top of her head.

She stumbled backward, unsteady on her feet, as a wave of overwhelming panic washed over her.

The blow was devastating and would completely upend her life.

She couldn't accept it.

Her vision went black, and her body went limp.

Henry was the closest to her.

Ordinarily, he would have reached out to catch her.

But at that moment, his mind was a complete blank.

He announced decisively, "The graduate student admitted this year is Noreen! Additionally, I will be hosting an apprenticeship ceremony in one week at the top-floor banquet hall of The Gilded Sands Hotel. You are all welcome to attend!"

An apprenticeship ceremony!

That meant Noreen wasn't just Halley's graduate student; she was also his apprentice!

Only an apprentice would receive a formal apprenticeship ceremony!

Henry's head snapped toward Noreen, his gaze suddenly intense and profound.

Healy was stunned by the news as soon as he walked in.

Was Noreen really that impressive?

Noreen, on the other hand, remained perfectly composed, calmly closing the email client on the laptop.

Healy was standing right in front of the projector and noticed one of the emails. "Hey, isn't that Dylan's email address?"

His comment caught Noreen's attention. She noticed an unread email from Dylan, sent eight years ago.
