By the time they finished eating, it was almost 11:00 pm. It was more like lunch that breakfast.

recovered, but the cuts on her hands and
What if they leave behind scars? Look at that long cut… How did you hurt yourself? You must be more careful. They say a woman’s hands are like a second face. Your hands are so beautiful. What a pity if there’s scarring.” Connie said, feeling deeply distressed.
However, Aurora remained calm. “It’s fine. They’ll fade over time.”
At that moment, Timothy came upstairs
“Ms. Reed, the police have taken Ryan and Whitney for questioning, and the special investigation team has joined in. There’s evidence that Whitney’s studio incited the fans to cause trouble. All those involved have been taken into custody. But you might still need to be cautious for a while…”
Timothy gave Aurora a brief update.
So, it really was Whitney?
Aurora frowned, shocked that Whitney would resort to such a low tactic.
Was she not worried about her fans getting arrested? Or maybe she didn’t care? Maybe all she wanted was to use them to hurt Aurora?
Just because of something so trivial, she had Wendy! beaten up so badly and still wasn’t satisfied. Now, she did this.
A cold glint flashed through Aurora’s eyes, but her expression remained composed. “Got it. Thanks, I appreciate it.”
At this point, Owen had also finished getting ready, and Timothy was called into the study.
Aurora, having tidied up, didn’t want to disturb them, so she left a note and headed to Astralt University.
What happened last night was huge. Aurora discovered multiple missed calls and messages from the chancellor and higher–ups as soon as she checked her phone. Her first task at Astrait University was to report to William’s office.

“It was premeditated. It’s possibly the doing of someone with ulterior motives. The higher authorities have already held a meeting. Rest assured, they’ll give you an explanation,” William said.
Aurora felt heavy at heart. “Chancellor Payne, maybe it’s not that serious. I think it might just be a personal grudge. There’s no need to waste state resources. I
Before Aurora could faush, William raised a hand to stop her. His sharp eyes gleamed with determination. “Don’t worry about that. If the authorities are handling it this way, they have their reasons. They follow their procedures. Even if it’s a personal grudge, you’re still someone we must protect, Your information won’t be exposed. Besides, what they’re investigating isn’t simple….
“This special investigation team includes tax officers and… Well, their target is the entertainment industry. You understand, right?”
He didn’t finish, but Aurora nodded in understanding.
“Then I’ll leave it to the organization. Thank you.”
“You just focus on teaching and research. Don’t worry about the rest. Oh, by the way, we’ve selected some assistants for you. My secretary will send you their profiles so you can choose who to keep”
“Alright.”
“You should take a couple of days off. Your injuries.
No need, Chancellor Payne. There’s too much to do. If I delay, many plans will have to be adjusted. These are just minor injuries, Aurora said.
William nodded.
