Chapter 1169: 310: The Reversal Beyond the Reversal (First Update)_1 Chapter 1169: 310: The Reversal Beyond the Reversal (First Update)_1 “With Diana Hershey being backed by Miss Thompson, this matter is difficult to handle!” Gavin continued, “Evelyn, you are too competitive! I knew it was only a matter of time before you got yourself into big trouble!”

But he never expected it to happen this soon.

Reaching this point, Gavin sighed, “But I am to blame for this as well.”

He shouldn’t have been indulging Evelyn.

Initially, he thought since he had dealt with such matter before, more so this time as it involved his own niece, he must help cover it up. Unexpectedly, they ran into an incredibly tough person this time!

From the protectiveness of Viola Thompson, it was clear that she and Diana Hershey were really good friends.

Their relationship was like that of sisters.

At this point, Evelyn grew scared and her tears started to fall. “Uncle Gavin, what should we do now?”

Originally, Evelyn was planning to further her studies and earn a postdoctoral degree for prestige.

She wanted to make herself a smart and beautiful lady from a wealthy family.

But now…

If she was expelled from Capital University, she would face the prospect of having no school to attend.

Gavin was now in a predicament himself, where could he find a solution?

Reflecting on this, Gavin sighed and continued, “Let’s return first. We need to discuss with Cathy, see if we can use any connections to preserve your student status.”

The official document regarding Evelyn’s expulsion had not been issued yet.

Cathy’s family background was decent and they have built up quite substantial connections over time. Maybe Cathy could come up with a solution.

No matter the cost, they needed to preserve Evelyn’s student status.

Evelyn nodded and started following Gavin’s pace.

At that moment, her steps were unsteady, shaking.

Upon returning to the residential area…

Having heard about the situation, Cathy also realized the gravity of the issue and immediately started contacting her acquaintances, trying to pull some strings. But as soon as they heard Evelyn’s issue has implicated Miss Thompson, they all backed out.

None of them wanted to gamble their future.

Who was Miss Thompson?

She was a world-renowned top scientific researcher, having just completed the Sight Restorer Plan.

Furthermore, in this issue, Evelyn was clearly in the wrong.

After making rounds of phone calls, Cathy’s eyes reddened, “Gavin, what do we do now? No one is willing to help. Evelyn’s student status might really not be salvageable!”

Upon hearing this, Gavin’s expression was somber, “Now it’s not just Evelyn’s student status.”

His job was also at risk.

Unsure of what went through her mind, Cathy glared at Gavin and angrily exclaimed, “All this is your fault! If you had not protected Evelyn back then, wouldn’t we avoid this situation?”

Evelyn was a child, ignorant. Gavin surely wasn’t a child, was he?

If Gavin had a bit of sense, the situation wouldn’t have come to this point.

“Who did you have to plagiarize? You had to plagiarize Miss Thompson’s good friend’s paper!”

How could Miss Thompson let her good friend swallow such humiliation?

Upon hearing this, Gavin became enraged, “Cathy, you were not saying this yesterday!”

Yesterday, Cathy was blaming him for not helping Evelyn enough.

Not just that.

Cathy also firmly believed that Evelyn hadn’t plagiarized.

However, in a blink of an eye, Cathy blamed all the problems on him.

She really knew how to perform!

Cathy responded unapologetically, “How was I supposed to know yesterday that Diana Hershey was such a good friend of Miss Thompson?!”

Gavin was already agitated, and Cathy’s remark added fuel to the fire, leading him to bang on the table, “It’s not like I could have known Diana Hershey was friends with Miss Thompson!”

Cathy was startled by this sudden outburst.

With red eyes, veins popping out on his face, and an air of rage surrounding him, Gavin was like a wild beast on the loose. Cathy had never seen Gavin like this during their 20-year-long marriage.

The atmosphere in the room was oppressive and stifling.

A moment later, Gavin sighed, his tone softening slightly, “Cathy, now is not the time to blame each other! After all, we cannot predict the future and none of us would want things to turn out this way, especially given how hard it was for Evelyn to make it into Capital University.”

Pausing, he continued, “So, no matter the cost, we must not allow Evelyn to be expelled.”

With reddened eyes, Cathy said, “I understand that! But I have contacted everybody I could think of, but none of them…”

By the end, Cathy was already choked up and unable to speak.

After all, an arm could never twist a thigh.
