“She’s even more beautiful than the school belle.
If she were to run for the school belle contest, she would definitely win first place!” Someone couldn’t help but tease, raising laughter from the crowd, who nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a mocking voice came from the crowd.
“I saw Serena Summers having a meal with Professor Wynn and Professor Green!
Their relationship must be extraordinary!
No wonder Serena can be so unbridled in school.”
The statement struck like a bolt from the blue, prompting a wave of chatter among the bystanders.
Serena Summers sneered coldly and slowly let go of the woman on the ground.
She walked up to Professor Parker and greeted him politely.
“Professor Parker, you’ve arrived.”
Professor Parker smiled and nodded at Serena, then asked about the woman on the ground, “Serena, what’s going on here?”
Seeing the wretched state of the woman on the floor, Professor Parker unconsciously touched his forehead.
His little niece seemed so gentle and fragile, yet she had such a violent side.
Truly, appearances can be deceiving!
Serena cast a cold glance at the woman, then explained the whole story.
She slowly lifted her scalded arm and said coldly, “Professor Parker, the quality of S University’s students needs to be improved.
It’s water on me today, but what if a teacher inadvertently offends her in the future…”
Serena didn’t finish her sentence, but Professor Parker understood.
His face darkened immediately, and his eyes turned icy as they focused on the woman.
Noticing Professor Parker’s gaze, the woman’s heart skipped a beat.

“Professor Parker, I didn’t do it on purpose, believe me!” the woman whispered in defense.
“There are surveillance cameras all over the school, we’ll know if it was intentional or not,” Serena said, her eyes narrowed, filled with a cold intensity.
The woman immediately shut her mouth, feeling guilty.
Seeing her reaction, what more did Professor Parker need to understand?
He looked at Serena’s arm guiltily and said in a low voice, “Serena, your arm seems to be badly hurt, you should quickly go to the medical office to check it out.”
The crowd followed Professor Parker’s gaze.
And they were stunned by what they saw.
Redness and several blisters had appeared on the girl’s pale and delicate arm.
The water in the woman’s cup had been scalding hot.
If Serena hadn’t dodged in time, the boiling water would have surely splashed on her face.
And then, it wouldn’t just be a few blisters.
It would have been disfigurement!
Staring at the shocking wounds on Serena’s arm, the students around them gasped in shock.
Then, there was a moment of prolonged silence.
Many of them had arrived late and only saw Serena hitting the woman, not knowing that the woman had splashed hot water on Serena.
After a while, someone burst out with a swear word, angrily saying, “If that boiling water had really splashed on her face, then Serena would have been disfigured.
If it were me, I would have skinned her alive.
Serena only stepped on her back a few times, and that’s already getting off lightly!”
“That’s right!
How important is a woman’s face.
This woman must have had bad intentions first, right?
You can’t blame Serena completely.”
“What kind of deep hatred is this?
Too vicious!”
After Serena revealed her injuries, the sentiment of the crowd shifted instantly.
Everyone felt pity for Serena’s encounter with the hot water, and the woman who had just received their sympathy became the target of public humiliation.
Brandon Reese stared at the injuries on Serena’s arm and his eyelids twitched violently.
Done for!
If their patriarch found out that his lady had been injured and bullied, he would definitely be enraged!
He hurriedly walked up to Professor Parker, adopting the cold and domineering demeanor he usually reserved for clients.
“Professor Parker, although my wife isn’t a student of your university, she was bullied within your campus.
Shouldn’t your school give us an explanation?”
Professor Parker glanced at Serena Summers with a troubled expression and whispered to Brandon Reese, “Don’t worry, our school will definitely handle this matter seriously.
We absolutely won’t let Serena be wronged for no reason.”
When Brandon’s face hardened, he bore a striking resemblance to Lucas Shaw.
Veins on Professor Parker’s forehead throbbed as he hastily made a guarantee.
With a cold huff, Brandon said, “It better be so.
My wife is delicate and highly-valued at home, even our grandfather doesn’t bear to speak harshly to her.
If you can’t provide me with a satisfactory response, I’ll have the old man come and talk to you personally.”
Professor Parker quickly waved his hands and said, “Rest assured, our school will definitely handle it properly.”
If the incident involving a student scalding someone with hot water is handled improperly, it can easily create negative public opinion against the school.
If word of the incident got out, neither Professor Parker nor the entire school could bear the responsibility.
Furthermore, Serena Summers is no ordinary person.
She is the granddaughter-in-law of the Shaw Family and the wife of Lucas Shaw.
Hearing Professor Parker’s words, the woman felt a sudden chill in her heart.
She climbed up from the ground in grief and indignation, looking for a chance to slip away.
However, before she could take two steps, Professor Parker’s icy voice came from behind her.
“The incident today has had a very bad impact.
Go call your parents and await the school’s punishment!”
Upon hearing this, the woman instantly panicked.
She hurriedly ran in front of Professor Parker and knelt down, begging desperately, “Professor, please don’t call my parents!
I know I was wrong; I won’t dare do it again!”
To her pleas, Professor Parker could only sigh helplessly.
What could he do?
Indeed, she was in the wrong.
The woman continued, “Professor Parker, I just wanted to teach Serena Summers a lesson.
She only suffered minor injuries; surely there’s no need to call the parents?”
She was utterly unaware of how bad her actions looked and spoke defiantly.
Hearing this, Professor Parker shook his head with disappointment.
“Just spilled some water?
It seems you have no sense of the severity of the matter,”
“Do you know who Serena Summers is?
I had planned to officially hire her as a professional teacher in the medical faculty upon my return from a business trip, and now look what has happened…”
Professor Parker looked at Serena Summers and silently prayed in his heart that she wouldn’t hold a grudge against the university.
His words were like a thunderclap that surprised everyone present.
Even Serena Summers was stunned.
She hadn’t expected Professor Parker to hold her in such high esteem and even wanted her to become a teacher at the university.
But right now, she didn’t have time to think about this.
Because Brandon Reese had already called Lucas Shaw.
Lucas Shaw was currently on his way.
Just thinking about her own husband witnessing her fierce scolding scene, Serena Summers couldn’t help but blush.
On the other side.
Lucas Shaw was focusing on a meeting.
The atmosphere in the conference room was exceptionally solemn and oppressive.
Everyone held their breath subconsciously, glancing occasionally at the grim-faced man sitting in the prime seat.
The project manager standing in front of the projector was hanging their head low, ready to face the CEO’s stern criticism.
However, the storm that everyone anticipated never came.
