Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 992

"Really?" Jules chuckled angrily, his beard practically vibrating. "A distinguished professor title, and you think Flora cares? We practically had to beg her to accept it!"

"Forget about a distinguished professor; if she wanted, I'd hand over the dean's job to her in a heartbeat!"

"And who do you think you are, belittling her like that?"

Jules was already in a foul mood after overindulging at the Golden Hotel and dealing with the resulting stomach issues. He was planning to grab some medicine from Mr. Richard when he overheard Blake's remarks, which sent him into a frenzy.

Blaming everything on Flora? Could she really have the nerve to say that?

He let loose with a barrage of criticism, leaving Blake completely flabbergasted.

She was mortified.

Blake couldn't wrap her head around why Mr. Richard and Jules were so fiercely protective of Flora.

Jules even mentioned he'd gladly offer Flora the dean's position at the Medical College!

All because she's some global champ?

Blake, who'd been teaching for a decade and had over ten FCI papers under her belt, couldn't even land a full professorship. Yet, here Flora was, waltzing in as a distinguished professor. How could Blake come to terms with that?

Taking a deep breath, Blake gritted her teeth and said, "I was just voicing my concern. Other than that one competition on Lone Island, what else has Flora done? No academic papers, right? Making her a distinguished professor is absurd, and it's not just me; other faculty members won't go for it either!"

"Right, Professor Wilson?"

Jules was known for his fiery temper. Mr. Richard had to maintain his composure due to his position, but Jules had no such restraints.

Anyone who insulted Flora would get an earful from him.

Blake, shaking with fury and frustration, stormed out of the office. Just as she did, Jules seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "You're Blake, right?"

Blake's face fell even further. After all her years at the University of Maple Grove, he hadn't even bothered to remember her name?

She nodded, feeling humiliated.

Jules sneered, "I figured as much. Just so you know, it was my vote that shot down your full professorship application."
