Joy''s smile froze, a flicker of panic shing in her eyes.


    How did they all get here?


    Didn''t Ms. Abbey say she had them held up?


    That''s why she felt so free to bully Flora.


    "This is a disaster. Mr. Tanner and the others are here; this is gonna be a mess."


    "Finding a cheating watch on Flora, whether she did it or not, it looks bad. If she''s kicked out of the medicalmunity, her career is over."


    Whispers filled the room. Aside from a few who were there for the drama, many cast sympathetic nces toward Flora.


    Such a promising young woman, ruined just like that.


    "Boss, are you done with your meeting? I wanted to talk to you about Flora." Joy hurried over, saying, "We found a cheating watch in Flora''s bag, we were just " "I know all about it."


    Mr. Tanner cut her off impatiently, shooting her an angry look: "When did you be so foolish?"


    His entourage of executives also looked displeased with Joy.


    Joy''s face stiffened: "Boss, what do you mean?"


    "It''s clear someone set her up. Can''t you see that?"


    Mr. Tanner''s face was grim. He and the executives had been detained by Abbey, discussing the medical conference until they could finally make it here. Upon arrival, they were greeted with the news of Flora cheating with an electronic watch.


    And Joy was trying to kick Flora out!


    God knows, they were all shocked upon reviewing Flora''s exam paper.


    Did someone with her talents need to cheat?


    Flora was a true gem. If she were really expelled, they''d be outraged!


    The scene was chaotic, and the conversation between Mr. Tanner and Joy wasn''t loud, so not many could hear what they were saying.


    Seeing Mr. Tanner''s dark expression, they thought he was angry about Flora cheating.


    A perfectly good exam, now aplete mess thanks to Flora. They''d be angry too.


    "Sir, don''t worry, we will have Flora leave immediately!"


    The security, seeing Mr. Tanner and his party approach, quickly said.

    After all this time, they still hadn''t managed to expel a young girl, and they worried Mr. Tanner would fire them for this.


    Mr. Tanner had just arrived when he heard this, nearly having a heart attack.


    "Mr. Tanner, Flora really was framed!" Shawn exined urgently: "Flora wouldn''t cheat, that watch must have been nted by someone-" "I know."


    Mr. Tanner raised his hand, cutting him off.


    Seeing him not listening to the exnation, Shawn became even more anxious.


    Upon seeing Mr. Tanner, Shawn had been relieved, knowing Mr. Tanner was a fair man. He wouldn''t act like Joy, not rifying things before expelling Flora.


    With him here, Flora could clear her name.


    But now, he wasn''t even listening. What did this mean?


    Mr. Tanner stopped in front of Flora, examining her up and down.


    The youngdy remained calm andposed, as if the usations of cheating had nothing to do with her.


    Such a mindset was rare.


    Mr. Tanner grew fonder of her the more he looked but deliberately frowned: "Flora, regarding the
