Everyone was stunned. What reas going on? Scarlett had helped a psychology expert find his research direction ? That was teay too unbelievable, this couldn’t be real!
Scarlett simply smiled.
“That was just an immature idea. If any results came out of it, it was only because you’re a top expert in the field”
Harrison burst out laughing.
You little rascal, are you mocking me?”
Scarlett didn’t even know how to respond to that.
Then. Harrison turned to the crowd.
“I overheard you all just now, saying Scarlett has a psychological disorder? Must’ve been when I had Ms. Joyner help me analyze some data–someone must’ve seen her going in and out of the psychology office? Well, let me make this clear! Ms. Joyner was helping me with research, not receiving counseling! Anyone spreading these kinds of rumors is not only harming Ms. Joyner’s future but also making an enemy out of me, Harrison!”
The crowd instantly fell silent.
Everyone knew how much authority Harrison held in the psychology field.
Someone like him would never risk his reputation just to speak up for someone with so–called “mental problems.”
So, Scarlett really had been misunderstood just now.
The members of the Joyner family instantly looked like the walking dead.
And Wayne wasn’t about to let it go without rubbing it in.
“So, Mr. Franklin, Mrs. Joyner, you can go ahead and get in the squad car now.”
Franklin and Martha fell silent.
Oliver, who had been about to speak, also fell silent.
The police, not wanting to waste another second, yanked them straight into the car and drove off, kicking up dust behind them.
Wayne watched them leave, and as soon as he turned back around, the students who had just been watching the drama unfold instantly scattered.
Getting course credit wasn’t easy, no one wanted to risk losing any.
Wayne went quiet.
“Ms. Joyner, I was actually planning to say a few things to help clear your name.”
Scarlett went quiet. Well , thanks for that.

“But honestly, Ms. Joyner. I never expected you to be the very person Harrison has been searching for all this time.”
Harrison chuckled in delight.
“Last year, I came to Trenwyn to visit a patient. I had completely run out of options when I happened to run into Ms. Joyner at a cafe. She suggested I explore neural pathways. That really opened up an entirely new avenue, both in terms of psychology and neuroscience.”
Wayne suddenly understood.
“No wonder you teamed up with the neurology department head to start a new lab this year. You sly dog. keeping this a secret all year, and only now speaking up.”
Harrison gave an embarrassed smile and glanced carefully at Scarlett.
“I actually came this time hoping to ask Ms. Joyner for a favor.”
Scarlett was slightly taken aback.
Wayne, on the other hand, nearly jumped out of his skin in anger.
“Oh, come on! You told me you knew a genius at my school and wanted me to introduce you. And I agreed, because we’re friends. That’s the only reason I brought you to see Ms. Joyner! I’m still alive, and here you are trying to poach her! Today, I’ll speak on Ms. Joyner’s behalf–she won’t help you with anything, and she’s not going with you!”
Harrison went quiet.
Wayne protectively stepped in front of Scarlett with flair.
“Ms. Joyner, ignore him. You should head to class.”
Scarlett went quiet.
Harrison rubbed his temples.
“You didn’t used to be this loud and dramatic.”
“Ever since you became Mr. Wayne, your temper’s only gotten worse.”
“How about you ask what kind of help I need first? ”
Wayne went quiet.
Oh, right. He forgot . Steal my research ? Sure . Steal my genius ? Absolutely not !
He tried to hide his awkwardness.
Then straightened up with full confidence.
“You’re just eyeing the genius in my department.”
Harrison sighed. “Forget it. Not worth arguing with you.”
He paused for a moment, lowered his voice, and said,

“Ms. Joyner, I have a patient in Jandale. I’ve tried several approaches already. In the end, I want to try the hypnotherapy technique you mentioned before. Could you possibly…”
Wayne looked completely stunned, three times over. Scarlett could do that? What else had I missed? It was all that damned Calvin’s fault. Was it still too late to kick Calvin out now?
Scarlett thought it over for a moment and estimated how much time she’d need in Jandale.
“Send me the patient’s file.” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
Harrison lit up with joy. “Ms. Joyner, your generosity is unmatched!”
Wayne went quiet. It’s just treating a patient ; did he really have to lay it on so thick ? How was I supposed to top that now? No wonder people online say flattery is a talent .
Sometimes he really felt like going head–to–head with these naturally gifted brown–nosers!
Once everything had settled, Scarlett politely declined Wayne’s invitation to lunch and went to ask her advisor for a leave slip.
Soon after, she received a message from Colt.
When she read the contents, Taylor’s words from the night before suddenly came back to her.
So this is the show he had prepared ? Then I really do have to go see it .
After replying to Colt, she opened the ride–hailing app.
But the next moment, a flashy yellow convertible came screeching around the corner, executed a perfect drift, and stopped right beside her.
