Chapter 844 Dr. Stone's hair was a mess, and her face was a cocktail of shand panic. As a well-known psychologist, she valued her reputation above all. It was especially awkward because she had just been invited to give a psychology lecture to the students here. To be caught in such an embarrassing situation was mortifying- she wished the floor would just open up and swallow her whole.

A few students recognized Dr. Stone and blurted out, "Isn't that Professor Lewis? What's she doing here?" "Yeah, what's up with that?" "Why does she look so out of sorts? Did Mr. Everett do something to her?" Joy's eyes landed on Dr. Stone's face, just as stunned. So... Everett waking up early wasn't what she thought; had her and Dr. Stone's plan gone south? Sure enough, Everett's deep, smooth voice cut through the large auditorium via the microphone. "This is the renowned psychologist Dr. Stone, also Selena's main therapist. She had all of Selena's medical records but chose to sell those for a hefty sum to Joy, betraying her professional ethics." The crowd was floored. Dr. Stone was a big nin the medical world. Would she really risk her career like that? Scouldn't believe it, while others wondered if it was true. Or maybe she was just under Everett's thumb, forced to point fingers at Joy? Joy jumped on this chance to defend herself. She cried tically, "Everett, okay, I admit it, I was really into you and got a bit jealous of Selena, but who wouldn't? Any woman might use a bit of wit to win over the guy she likes. Modern women should go after their love." "I may have said smean things, and for that, I'm willing to apologize to Selena, but I didn't do anything else. You can't just throw dirt on my name... How am I supposed to get by with this hanging over me?" As she spoke she struggled to her feet, heading towards the wall as if to end it all. Her assistant, terrified quickly hugged her, calming her down Ms. Joy, don't do anything rash trust the people here are smart enough to see the truth. No one can blyou for something. you didn't do!" What seemed like comfort was actually a ploy to rile up support. In their minds, college students were naïve and easy to sway. If they played the victim, the truth would appear to be on their side.
Indeed, the students started to waver. Could it be that Everett was just using his power to bully? In today's hectic world, there's plenty of resentment towards the wealthy. With this kind of manipulation, many started to lean towards Joy.

Joy nestled her face in her assistant's shoulder, a slight smile creeping onto her lips She knew she might not be able to tackle Selena now, but as long as she could protect herself, there was plenty of tahead. She couldn't believe Selena's luck would hold out forever! They'd be stuck in this conflict for the long haul.
The students demanded an explanation from Everett. Even if he was Newport's richest, this wasn't just his stage.
Everett scanned the crowd, his striking face as calm as ever, as if he had seen all this coming. A faint seen smile played at the corners of his mouth.
