Chapter She Outshines 216
Chapter 216
After Jaden found out that Brandon had returned home, he rushed to Kitmore City in the van that was used to deliver ingredients to the restaurant the next morning and went straight to the villa. As soon as he saw Brandon, he immediately rushed forward and hugged him tightly. After an extended period of time, Jaden said, "Welcome home!"
Athena could tell that perhaps because the two of them were about the same age, they seemed to have more in common.
For the next three days, Jaden was practically Brandon's shadow. The two of them went to visit Fiona and Cade, helped our at the restaurant, and walked around Bard Property and Viento Court. They even went to the kindergarten, elementary school, and middle school they used I to attend together. At night, the two of them and Zayn often sat together and drank They seemed to have endless things to talk about.
Three days later, it was time for Jaden to return to the village.
Brandon did not go to the
to the countryside with him because he had to prioritize Fiona and Cade.
The restaurant was closed sed from two to five in the afternoon.
After they had lunch at the restaurant, Brandon watched Jaden leave in a car. Then, he got into Athena's car and prepared to go to the hospital to visit Fiona and Cade.
At that very moment, his phone rang..
He frowned slightly when he saw the familiar string of numbers
He had changed his phone number as soon as he returned to the country. How did she get her hands on my new number so quickly? Well, as expected of a genius, Brandon answered his own query
After hesitating for a few seconds, he picked up the call and spoke coldly, "Hello?"
The other party sounded very anxious. "Brandon, you finally picked up the phone. Is everything alright on your side?"
Brandon replied calmly, I'm doing very well now. You don't have to worry about me. In the future, you don't have to call me
anymore.
The person on the other end of the line said, "Wait, I've already returned to-"
Brandon hung up before the person could finish her sentence.
However, that person kept calling, so he simply set his phone to silent mode and refused to answer.
Athena just drove quietly and didn't ask anything.
The restaurant was a little far from the hospital where their grandparents were staying. They had to pass through many intersections along the way. After numerous stoppings, they finally reached the hospital. It took them nearly an hour. Athena had just parked the car by the roadside and was about to get out when a small car sped past theirs and blocked her
way
A smartly dressed young woman got out of that car, hurried to the front of their car, and waved
Brandon's face darkened slightly. He said to Athena. "Wait in the car. You can get out after I send her away?"
Athena replied with a smile. "Alright."

Chapter 216
After Brandon got out of the car, he closed the door and walked to the woman. "Let's go to the side and talk."
The woman threw Athena, who was in the car, a glance and followed Brandon to somewhere four to five meters away. Then, she said something to him with an excited expression. Her hands were gesturing non-stop, and her body language was quite vibrant.
Brandon's reaction was also very intense.
His face wasn't as gentle and friendly as when he was with his family. There was only coldness and maliciousness. He could be seen bawling as he shook his head and waved his hands vigorously,
It was obvious that he and that woman couldn't come to an agreement.
After arguing for five to six minutes, the woman grabbed Brandon by the arm, looking like she wanted to coerce him. However, he forcefully pushed the woman's hand away and took a few steps forward. He pulled the woman's car door open as if he wanted her to leave. The woman cried, Brandon was unmoved, and his expression became even colder
The woman refused to get into the car and continued to cry.
Brandon left her and strode into the hospital building.
The woman chased after him.
Their silhouette faded into the entrance of the building
Athena didn't move, but her expression was a little stoic and solemn. There was even the gaze of a killer in her eyes.
A few minutes later, the woman walked out in a daze. As she walked, she wiped her tears and walked to her car before driving away.
Athena's phone rang. It was Brandon.
Brandon's voice was very gentle. "Athena, I've already entered the hospital building. You can go back now. Thank you for sending me here!
Athena smiled a I as she could hear nothing unusual in his voice. "Alright, I'll go back first"
After hanging up the phone, she slowly started the car, and her eyes were colder than the winter gust
Her mind was spinning faster than a wheel

Brandon suddenly returned to the country alone without telling anyone. He even hid himself and didn't let anyone know about his whereabouts! The actual reason was, that Brandon was expelled from university!
She finally understood why
The reason for his expulsion was that he had falsely accused his professor of plagiarizing his graduation thesis.
Of course, Athena beheved that Brandon was innocent 10:51 Thu, Oct 17 m BG

That woman was Brandon's classmate. The two of them were from the same faculty, but they were from different majors and were under different professors.
Brandon had spent nearly four years collecting, analyzing, and summarizing all kinds of big data. On this basis, he established an efficient and practical big data model This information could be applied directly in the development of advanced artificial intelligence. However, just as he was happily writing his findings and thoughts in his graduation thesis and waiting to go home with a bachelor's degree, he found his data and big data model in his professor's thesis.
Brandon's professor earned himself a big prize with Brandon's thesis, and the former's reputation was catapulted to another level.
lost it when he found out about it.
Brandon ran to his professor to reason with him and ask him why he did that. His professor refused to admit that he had plagiarized Brandon's data. He then severely criticized Brandon for falsely accusing him based on malign intentions and Lambasted Brandon for taking research for himself.

Unconvinced, Brandon non-anonymously reported his professor for plagiarizing his data to the university.
Sadly,
his professor was a well-known expert in the industry. The latter's connections, status, and prestige were enough to crush Brandon, who had no money, power, or solid background, easily.
In the face of his professor's power, Brandon's efforts were futile.
The evidence he provided did not convince the university, or rather, the university believed in the "evidence" provided by his professor.
He ran a around and I even made the evidence he had public, doing everything he could to seek justice for himself.
Unfortunately, nothing worked.
and friends all said that this kind of thing was very common. They advised him to swallow his anger and take the initiative to apologize to his professor in order to get his bachelor's degree certificate.
His classmates and friends or fold Brandon that so long the he could repent, he would surely be forgiven
His "magnanimous" professor told

Over
my dead body! Brandon was never going to give in.
His innate pride stopped him from kowtowing to his professor.
He also reported the plagiarism of his professor to authoritative journals, authoritative award committees, relevant academic organizations, and so on. He even held up a banner and sat quietly on the campus. In the end, all his efforts went down the drain. Not only that, Brandon's actions had completely angered his professor. His professor had secretly instructed his classmates and research partners to accuse him of misconduct. He could not defend himself from the pouring accusations Eventually, the university announced his expulsion.
Brandon was physically and mentally exhausted. He stood on the tall building of the university and wanted to drag his professor to death with him.
However, the thought of his family stopped him from doing so. In the end, he forwent this plan.
He quietly packed his luggage and returned to his home country alone. He curled up in a comer that no one knew about and quietly licked his wounds. 10:51 Thu, Oct 17 G G

Athena, who knew the truth was furious.
The angrier she was, the calmer she became.

Is it such an achievement to use status and authority to crush a student who has no money or power?' Athena revealed a cold and bloodthirsty smile. An eye for an eye. I'll let you have a taste of how the students whose lives have been plagiarized by you feel! You shall pay an irreparable price for everything you've done!"
