- 13.
The day of the trial was sunny and clear.
The court determined that Mia was guilty of
defamation, and sentenced her to one year in
prison, with two years of probation.
She broke down in the courtroom.
I wonder if she ever regretted what had
happened, everything for a man.
The school also put out the results of the
investigation with Mia’s father.
He was fired from his job.
All of his students were transferred to other
professors.
Except for Liam.
く
The investigation found out that he had
participated in only three of the seven
published papers that had his name on it.
Sucking up to Mia had helped him a lot.
After things were revealed, everyone was
shocked. The golden boy had become a
cheater.
The genius boy had finally fallen.
After Liam left the school, no one ever saw
him again.
Some people said that he went to work for a
corporation, others said that he was working
as a delivery guy in his hometown.
No one knew what was true.
く
Not long after, my exchange program was
approved again.
As I was going through security, I turned to
look back.
I saw a familiar figure.
I didn’t look back again, I didn’t try to find out
who it was.
This time, I was going for my own future.
