Chapter 287
In the hospital meeting room, sitting across from Sebastian, were Ethan, Joannaâs father, Harriet, Joannaâs mother, and Logan, who arrived late.
It was evident how significant Joannaâs situation was for the Lowell family. Despite their busy schedules, all three made it to the hospital to show their support.
Sebastian carefully examined Joannaâs educational background and glanced meaningfully at the three Lowells present. âMs. Lowellâs academicâ¦â
Before Sebastian could finish his sentence, Harriet interrupted firmly, âJoâs academic qualifications are genuine. There is no way that they are fake.â
âYes, but someone has reported that Joanna took someone elseâs spot in medical school.â Sebastianâs expression turned complicated. Occupying another personâs place in school was a grave issue. It was a criminal offense.
Ethanâs expression darkened even further. âWho reported this? Isnât this slander against Joanna?â
Sebastian glanced at Ethan, flashing an apologetic smile. âMr. Lowell, rest assured. Weâre still investigating the issue.â
Harriet was also furious. She slammed the table and exclaimed, âWho reported this? Joannaâs still in the hospital. How dare they slander her like this?â
Sebastian replied, âIt was an anonymous report.â
âAre you seriously considering suspending Joanna based on an anonymous report? It hasnât even been proven yet. We canât just take it as the truth without any verification.â Harrietâs frustration only grew upon hearing this.
Logan remained silent as Ethan and Harriet argued harshly, repeatedly challenging Sebastian. Sebastian tried to speak up but was constantly interrupted.
Logan suddenly asked in the quiet meeting room, âDid Millie write this anonymous report?â
Suddenly, the meeting room door opened, and Sebastian stood up. The Lowells turned their heads and saw Millie standing there.
Millie looked neat in her casual blackâandâwhite outfit, her hair pulled back into a sleek ponytail. She knew that she would definitely be accused.
She stared directly into Loganâs eyes and declared firmly, âI didnât write it.â
Harriet stood up abruptly and pointed directly at Millie, yelling, âWhy should we trust you? It appears that youâre simply jealous of Jo!â
Millie frowned and pondered, âWhat is it that I should be jealous of? Jealous of Joannaâs incompetence and fragility?â
Harriet was furious and scolded, âMillie, you divorced Winston because you two donât get along. You canât keep Winston, so what does Jo have to do with it? If you canât have Winston, you want to hurt Jo instead. Your behavior is disgraceful and shameless.â
Millie was left speechless. Harriet didnât like her Initially. She had finally found the perfect outlet for her

anger at that moment.
She stated, âI came here just to clarify that I didnât report her.â
Harriet yelled, âIt has to be you! Youâre the only one whoâs extremely jealous of Jo.â
âMrs. Lowell, please be more reasonable. Why should I be jealous of her? If I were truly jealous, I wouldnât haveâ¦â given her the quota. She thought these words but didnât speak them aloud.
Then, she calmly glanced at Harriet and whispered, âIâm sure you know how she got into medical school. Not only are you all ungrateful, but youâre also accusing me. This is so disgusting
Millie looked at them coldly but refrained from speaking her mind. She chose to show them respect due to their status.
At that moment, Harriet was feeling extremely anxious
Ethan grabbed her arm and urged her to stay silent when she was on the verge of speaking up. It was indeed Millie who sacrificed her place for Joanna so that she could enroll in medical school.
What the whistleblower said was actually true.
