She also hadn’t forgotten the reason she came here today!Â
She had worried that Adriana might misunderstand her or be disappointed because of the online rumors.Â
But now, even seniors and peers she hadn’t spoken to in ages were willing to believe her-surely Adriana would too.Â
Taking advantage of today’s opportunity, she could also let Adriana see Audrey’s true colors.Â
So that in the future, Adriana’s reputation wouldn’t be dragged down by Audrey!Â
There was some commotion in the exhibition hall, and Claudine entered with several seniors.Â
Adriana had already come out and was giving a speech, with Audrey standing right beside her.Â
It was clear that Adriana valued Audrey greatly—she spent more than half of her opening remarks introducing Au- drey.Â
Claudine was a little surprised.Â
The research achievements Adriana mentioned were clearly her own projects, yet in her speech, she said Audrey not only participated but played a crucial role in them.Â
Everyone present could tell that Adriana was paving the way for Audrey.Â
Standing beside Claudine were all former students of Adriana, who also knew the backgrounds of both Audrey and Claudine.Â
They turned their gaze to Claudine.Â
Rather than caring about romantic rivalries, they felt it was unfair to Claudine that Adriana was so obviously favoring Audrey.Â
After the speech, Adriana personally took Audrey to greet several professors.Â
“What exactly does this Audrey have that makes Prof. Nixon appreciate her so much, even personally introducing her to those professors?Â
Those professors are all national treasures!”Â
Dena Melton, standing next to Claudine, couldn’t help but complain.Â
Claudine didn’t understand either.Â
What she felt most was worry,Â
Adriana was publicly endorsing Audrey in front of so many people.Â

Would she still be able to carry out her plan later?Â
Was she really going to risk Adriana’s reputation just to expose Audrey?Â
A hint of hesitation flashed in Claudine’s eyes.Â
She stepped toward Adriana, thinking that Adriana must have been deceived by Audrey-she needed to help Adriana see the truth.Â
“Prof. Nixon!”Â
Claudine walked up to Adriana.Â
At that moment, Adriana was introducing Audrey to Quinn Sutton, the Dean of the Camberwell University School of History.Â
Claudine heard clearly as Adriana said Audrey was the most talented and gifted student she had ever taught.Â
Audrey stood right beside Adriana, looking at Claudine with a proud, provocative gaze.Â
Quinn had already agreed that Audrey would represent Adriana at next month’s overseas event.Â
Claudine was a bit shocked-Audrey’s resume wasn’t particularly impressive.Â
Even though she had worked at the Brythonian Museum for five years, she was just an ordinary researcher.Â
Why did Adriana value her so much?Â
Before she could figure it out, Adriana had finished her conversation with Quinn.Â
She glanced at Claudine, then at Audrey beside her.Â
“Audrey, those people over there are leaders from the Cultural Heritage Administration. Go entertain them for me.”Â
Audrey replied, “Yes, Prof. Nixon!”Â
After Audrey left, Adriana led Claudine to a nearby lounge area.Â
Claudine noticed that even as Adriana walked over, her gaze kept drifting toward Audrey in the distance.Â
“Prof. Nixon, congratulations-the exhibition today was a great success.”Â
Adriana glanced at Claudine, took her hand, and patted it gently.Â
“I’ve seen what’s been said online. I know those things can’t be true.”Â
Hearing that Adriana was willing to believe her, Claudine felt a wave of warmth inside.Â
Thinking of how much Adriana valued Audrey, Claudine hesitated for a moment before speaking.Â
“Prof. Nixon, the online reports were actually someone deliberately framing me. Audrey isn’t who you think she is,Â
she…”Â

“Claudine!”Â
Adriana interrupted Claudine.Â
“I know, because of Damian, you have issues with Audrey!Â
“But I’ve told you before, you shouldn’t devote all your energy to a man.Â
“Back then, you insisted on marrying that man, and now you’re making baseless accusations against Audrey!Â
“Do you know how much effort a girl like Audrey, with no background at all, has to put in to reach your level?Â
“How can you slander a hardworking, ambitious young woman just because of a man!”Â
Adriana’s defense of Audrey was completely unexpected for Claudine!Â
“Prof. Nixon, it’s not that I have a problem with Audrey-she’s the one who’s been targeting me!Â

“She wants to get back together with Damian, so she spread rumors about me online! She even deliberately used the topic of children to hurt me after she knew about my miscarriage!Â
“I’m not falsely accusing her, Prof. Nixon-you don’t really know her!Â
“Audrey is a truly malicious woman!”Â
“Enough!”Â
Adriana snapped sharply, forbidding Claudine from saying another word.Â
“Claudine, you have truly disappointed me!”Â
Don’t think that everyone is like you, obsessed only with men, even willing to give up your studies for a man!Â
Do you know that Audrey once left her newborn child and lover behind for her studies?Â
