Emily narrowed her eyes upon hearing Megan defend Janet. “I don’t know, but I heard she got called into the principal’s office today. The details of the outcome are not known yet. Mommy, keep an eye on the university’s online forum; the outcome will be released there.”
Mr. Goldstein is also involved now? Feeling shocked, Megan clenched her fists as a conditioned reflex. “Okay. I got it,” she answered. She did not think too deeply about how Emily knew Janet’s every move, but she did not have any definite answers to the validity of the matter at hand either.
If Janet actually plagiarized the work of that author called Rose and got expelled by Robert, then our family’s reputation would be ruined.
At that moment, she could only hope that what Emily told her was false!
At the same time, news that Eric delayed the event quickly became the most trending topic on Twitter.
‘Eric Lawson personally halted The Tenth Writers Association Meeting!’
‘Why did Eric Lawson show up at Woodsbury University?’
‘Eric Lawson extended a personal invitation for Rose to join the meeting!’
‘Inside information stated that Eric wanted to nominate Rose as the chairperson of The Tenth Writers Association!’
Before Janet and Eric even made it to the venue, the news had already spread to the public.
Moreover, the number of authors that were there went from being in the hundreds to over a thousand.
Their purpose was simple: to see Rose’s real appearance with their own eyes!
Meanwhile, after Megan hung up the call, she downloaded Reddit according to Emily’s instructions and entered Woodsbury University’s forum.
Initially, she only wanted to take a look at the school’s final decision, but Reddit also sent her a notification of the live broadcast from the venue of the meeting.
Filled with curiosity, she tapped into it.
At that moment, the online live broadcast had already started.
She only saw Eric go on stage and say into the microphone, “The meeting will officially begin now.”
After that, a thunder of applause resounded below the stage.
Eric’s expression was serious and stern. “As usual, raise your hand if you have a problem.”
As soon as he said that, the dull meeting immediately buzzed to life.
Some people raised their hands and stood up, but Eric randomly picked a committee member who was participating in the meeting.
“Secretary Lawson, I wanted to ask you about something. I heard you intentionally halted this meeting to personally invite Rose. Is that right? But Rose wasn’t participating in the run for the chair of The Tenth Writers Association, right? If she comes here so suddenly to join in the election, wouldn’t it be unfair to the rest of us?”
“The chairperson of The Tenth Writers Association in my heart is Rose. I don’t have a second person in mind. Previously, I did not know about her whereabouts so I had no way of forcing her to run for chairperson, but I happened to find out this morning that she was studying at Woodsbury University. I decided I was going to bring her here no matter what. Regarding the issue of fairness that you mentioned, it is definitely fair. After all, you have all used your capabilities to be in the running for chairperson. The official chairperson for The Tenth Writers Association has not been finalized yet. What difference does it make to add one more person? If the people here are better than Rose, then why should they be afraid of her?” When he finished talking, he looked below the stage at a girl in a black long-sleeve shirt and a black cap.
The video cameras at the venue captured his gaze and immediately focused on the girl below the stage.
The girl looked sluggish as she sat with her legs crossed and her fair hand supporting her temple.
Megan was stunned when she saw that scene on her phone.
The girl did not look old. She was probably in her early twenties. Her eyes were covered by her black cap, but her small and delicate lips gave Megan a sense of familiarity.
