Chapter 1042 Envious People
Joanna frowned as she stared at the flood of viciousments.
She did not doubt that this was the work of people like Yvonne and Cadoc.

It was frustrating. She had thought university would be a ce of peace, where she could focus on her studies without distraction. But filth was everywhere-even in an institution that was supposed to be a haven of knowledge and excellence, it was crawling with the worst kind of people.
She never intended to provoke anyone, yet she found herself caught in the crossfire.
Was there nowhere in this world where she could simply exist in peace?
People always said that those with great talent often met tragic ends. But it wasn''t their talent that doomed them-it was the wretched, envious people who couldn''t stand to see others shine.
The world could have been a much better ce if only it weren''t for the twisted, the despicable, the shameless, and the power-hungry.
People like them used every dirty trick in the book to tear down what was good and beautiful, leaving nothing but ruins in their wake.
No matter how kind-hearted or well-mannered Joanna was, reading such cruel nder made her eyes well up with tears.
For a moment, she wanted to march straight to Robin and tell him everything-let him deal with those vile people once and for all.
She opened WhatsApp, her finger hovering over Robin''s profile picture. But then she hesitated.
She didn''t want to burden him with this. Taking a deep breath, she locked her phone.
She would handle it herself. She''d go to the department head and confront these nderous lies head-
on.
And if the department refused to take action, then she''d take it to the courts.
But Joanna was still too naive.
She had spent her life with Marge, struggling at the bottom of society, and she had never realized that thew was never made for the poor and powerless.
When those in power controlled the interpretation of thew, it ceased to be justice-it became a weapon for the elite.
Just as Joanna made up her mind to visit the department head''s office, the university''s social media groups exploded with activity.
Several prominent student leaders came forward, iming that Joanna and Cadoc had been a real couple all along.
That set off a firestorm.
The students were furious, using Joanna of being unworthy of Cadoc, the son of a billionaire.

The hate poured in.
Finished
In group chats, students hurled insults at her, calling her the most despicable woman in Brighton University -unfaithful, shameless, a disgrace.
Some even defended Cadoc, insisting that he had spent millions on her, buying her a vi and a BMW. And continously, they raged. Even after all that, Joanna''s greed had known no bounds. They used her of secretly maintaining rtionships with multiple wealthy businessmen and government officials, all of
them
well over 50.
They demanded that Brighton University expel her, calling her an embarrassment to the school.
Among the voices condemning her was a self-proimed heir to a billion-dor family fortune.
With an air of absolute confidence, he imed he had once seen Joanna at an exclusive club, engaging in illicit dealings with wealthy men.
And worse-he boasted that he had explicit photos and videos of her in his possession.
A few students tried to speak up in her defense.
They argued that Brighton University should not be a ce where such tant public humiliation was tolerated.
The usations against Joanna were nothing but baseless spection, spread with malicious intent. If people were deliberately fabricating lies to ruin someone''s reputation, then this was no longer a simple campus dispute-it was a legal matter.
Some students urged everyone to stop the online attacks, calling them petty and downright malicious. They argued that a prestigious institution like Brighton University should not allow such severe cases of character assassination.
However, the student who imed to be from a wealthy family remained firm. He insisted that everything he said was true and even dered that if anyone tried to take legal action against him, he would release the evidence.
He went so far as to swear on his own life and family name.
To prove he wasn''t making baseless usations, he even shed his student ID.
His name was Hadden Walsh, a junior in Brighton University''s finance department and a student council officer.
Once his identity was made public, those who had initially voiced their doubts fell silent.
Hadden was a well-known figure on campus, and an active member of the student body. Though his
family wasn''t among the elites, their worth did exceed a billion dors, making them a prominent third- tier family in Brighton.
With that, the rumors about Joanna were practically confirmed in the eyes of the students.
The topic continued to dominate the student group chat, with some even demanding that Cadoce forward and share his thoughts.

Cadoc responded vaguely, saying he was considering addressing the matter publicly.
By the time Brenda finished her first ss, the entire student group chat was buzzing with talk about Joanna.
She immediately rushed to the graduate school to find her, but Joanna was nowhere to be seen. Seeing the vicious nder spreading like wildfire, Brenda knew that keeping this from Robin was not an option.
Without hesitation, she contacted him andid out everything that had happened.
At the same time, the rumors about Joanna had already spread beyond the student group chat and onto the inte.
Now, the entire web was flooded with scandalous ims about a Brighton University student named Joanna and her so-called promiscuous lifestyle.
Robin''s eyes turned ice-cold as he scanned through the posts.
Yesterday, he had been willing to let the Fields go.
It seemed they weren''t giving him the chance to be merciful.
After receiving Brenda''s message, Robin and Shirley immediately sped toward Brighton University.
Meanwhile, at Wolfsbane Summit Military Base on the outskirts of Brighton...
The members of the Dragon Soul Special Forces had just returned from theirtest mission abroad. After finishing their debriefings, they were preparing to head home for a well-earned break.
Suddenly, Catherine''s furious shout rang through the room.
"D*mn it!" she roared, making Maverick, Brendon, and the others jump in surprise.
Talia leaned in closer. "Catherine, what''s wrong? Who pissed you off?"
"Look at this! Someone''s spreading disgusting lies about Master Ramsey''s sister, Joanna! This is
outrageous! I''m calling Commander-in-Chief Ramsey right now."
She immediately grabbed her phone and dialed Robin''s number, but no one picked up.
Gavin sighed. "Commander-in-Chief Ramsey has retired. He''s also stepped down as Pce Ruler of Dragon Pce."
"What?" The team was stunned.
Catherine''s expression darkened. "Was this an order from above? Unbelievable! How could they be so ungrateful?"
Gavin shook his head. "No, this was his own decision. He wanted to leave Draconia to handle his revenge personally. He didn''t want to drag anyone else into it."
"No way!" Catherine fumed. "General Brooks, lend me a helicopter-I''m heading to headquarters to see Commander Baxter. I''m resigning from service too!"

"Me too!"

"D*mn it! Even if Commander-in-Chief Ramsey holds no official position anymore, if anyone dares to go after him or his family, we''ll be the first to stand in their way!"
The elite warriors of the Dragon Soul Special Forces lined up in front of Gavin, their determination unwavering.
