Never Mistake a Queen for a Lapdog novel Chapter 579

Since it was a personal email, Noreen didn't open it in front of everyone.

Instead, she exited the main page and then casually clicked it open.

The content was brief, just a few words.

Noreen's elegant brow furrowed for a moment, but her expression quickly returned to its usual calm as she closed the laptop.

Seeing this, Healy knew not to press the matter.

Besides, the news of Bianca's academic fraud was so explosive that it commanded everyone's attention.

Halley declared, "This matter must be thoroughly investigated! I have already contacted WT Business School, and I believe we will receive a definitive response soon."

At this point, Professor Selwyn looked rather ashamed. "When I first saw the paper on 'Black Box Investment Technique,' I was incredibly impressed and praised Bianca highly. I even attended a dinner she hosted. Looking back now, I was far too careless. I need to reflect on my judgment."

He also expressed his apologies to Noreen.

Noreen didn't hold it against him; after all, he wasn't at fault since he didn't know the truth.

Wade spoke up at the right moment. "So, Bianca managed to score 255 because she plagiarized Noreen's paper? She has no real ability of her own?"

Professor Selwyn looked embarrassed. "That is correct. Our exam is different from other subjects. The only standardized test component is German. The real challenge is the specialized subject matter. Bianca studied abroad for seven years, so German wouldn't have been difficult for her. And since she plagiarized Noreen's work for the specialized portion, well…"

He didn't say it out loud, but everyone present knew what he meant: on her own merit, Bianca wouldn't have even come close.

An extremely complicated expression crossed Henry's face.

As if on cue, Dylan spoke up, asking Halley, "Professor, are you happy to have your lost apprentice back?"

Halley laughed heartily. "Of course! I'm glad this little rascal didn't disappoint me! Her thesis this time was excellent!"

"Just excellent?" Noreen asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Exceptionally excellent, happy now?" Halley's stern demeanor vanished, replaced by a face full of smiles.

In the end, he was the real buffoon.

Once Sanford understood the full picture, he asked Halley in delighted surprise, "So, Noreen is the benefactor who helped the Brooke family so much?"

This time, Halley answered frankly, "Yes."

Sanford excitedly went over to shake Noreen's hand. "Ms. Gilmore, I've finally found you!"

He then turned to Henry. "What are you standing there for? Come and thank Ms. Gilmore! Without her, the Brooke family wouldn't be where it is today!"

Henry walked over with great difficulty. He tried to speak several times, but the words felt caught in his throat.

"You really gave me a huge surprise, kid!" Sanford was too excited to notice how stiff Henry's expression was.

Noreen didn't spare Henry a single glance. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Sanford, she said her goodbyes and left.
