Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed novel Chapter 803

The meaning of “studying” has changed.

I was never the studious type as a kid. Still, I always envied those who excelled academically—the ones who worked so hard, traveled so far, just to reach the most prestigious university in the country. But no one ever told me that there were hidden traps waiting for them there.

I go to an ordinary college. I want to say something, but I don’t really know how. Still, I feel like I have to leave something behind.

Just win once. I might be a nobody, but he isn’t. He’s the kind of person I’ve admired since childhood: brilliant, driven, the kind who always shined in the classroom. I can’t stand to see him fail.

Carlson, I hope you have a future filled with hope—a life that’s bright and magnificent.

Don’t let your story end unfinished; write the most defiant, unforgettable chapter, the one that shakes the world.

At noon, Carlson posted a second update—this time, a ten-minute audio recording.

Because of what happened with Arkle, Carlson had gone to Edna’s office, only to overhear her talking with Sybil outside the door.

He uploaded the entire conversation, unedited, between aunt and niece, only adding the system’s auto-generated subtitles.

By one o’clock that afternoon, the hashtag #KingswellUniversityStudentFilesFormalComplaintAgainstAdvisor was trending at the top of every major social and video platform.

A flood of users crashed the Kingswell University website, searching for ways to submit reports. The site went down almost immediately.

The university’s official social media accounts were bombarded with comments—hundreds of people demanding justice for Carlson.

Senior university leaders, who were on vacation out of town, rushed back to Lumina City that night to take charge on campus.

“Edna! That Edna!”

Her name was on everyone’s lips, spoken through clenched teeth.

A single rotten apple had managed to tarnish Kingswell’s hundred-year legacy—this beacon of higher education brought low by one corrupt professor.

- To issue an official reprimand to the Department of Life Sciences, and to hold responsible parties within the department to administrative discussions and disciplinary training.

Any other staff found to be involved in academic misconduct or violations will also be investigated and dealt with according to university policy and the law.

The university’s response was swift, and the penalties were, by all accounts, appropriate.

But—

What about Carlson?

The advisor was fired. So, what would happen to Carlson?

Many people filled the comments section with the same question.

The statement never once mentioned Carlson by name, but between the lines, it felt as if every word spelled doom for him.
