Chapter 107

• Liza took a deliberate step back, increasing the distance between herself and the sobbing woman before her. Her voice was calm but firm as she asked, “Who are you? Do I even know you?” She glanced at the crowd gathering nearby. “A student mentioned that you’re a teacher in the design department. What’s your name?”
• The woman hesitated, her voice trembling as she replied, “I… I’m Emma.” Her expression grew more frantic. “It’s about the posts on the forum accusing you of being a kept woman. Back then, when the truth wasn’t clear, I made some careless remarks. But now the university says I’m not qualified to be a teacher and wants to fire me! Miss Liza, you’re from a wealthy family, so you probably can’t understand how hard life is for ordinary people like us. I can’t survive without this job. If I lose it… I’ll have no choice but to end my life!”

She had barely paid attention to the details and had no idea Emma was involved. Still, her timing was strange—why was this woman only confronting her now, long after the issue had been resolved?
