---- Chapter 183 The person who spoke to Wendy wasn't very familiar to her, and she only vaguely recalled that his surname was Lane. She initially thought he was just apologizing , but she didn't expect him to leave the seminar as part of his apology. "Are you sure?" Wendy pinned him with her gaze. Hayden Lane nodded. "I'm sure. I have truly learned from my mistakes. Please have mercy, Dr. Sanders. My wife gave birth recently, and my parents' health is deteriorating .

I'll need to spend a lot of money in the future. "T can't lose the job I have at the research institute. I have to continue my experiments with Dr. Zeke Rylands." As he said this, his eyes began to redden. Wendy's expression didn't shift. After a moment of silence , she nodded. "As long as you do what you promise, Iwill agree with your request." Hayden lowered his head and wiped away the tears from his eyes. "Thank you, Dr. Sanders." He turned to leave, his footsteps looking much lighter.

Wendy stared at his departing silhouette. She was surprised . But along with her surprise, she also felt a sense of relief. It seemed she would be satisfied if these were the consequences those who slandered her behind her back with ---- false accusations would face. "How is it? Isn't it satisfying?" A voice rang out from behind her suddenly. Wendy looked back and crashed straight into Liam, who was standing close to her.

Wendy managed not to trip only because Liam grabbed her shoulder to steady her. "What?" she asked, confused. "You no longer have to see them when they leave the seminar. They also won't have the opportunity to be involved with this case or bask in the glory that comes with it." Liam looked ahead, his voice was tinged with coldness as he spoke. "It wasn't a big sin, but we can't just let it go.

If you ask me, it'll only be enough when he's lost all that he cares for." He spoke as if he were talking to himself. When he snapped back to reality, he noticed Wendy's look of surprise and confusion. Liam suddenly smiled. "Will you accept their apologies now that they've been punished in this manner?" Wendy pursed her lips before saying , "I won't. This is what they are supposed to do. Immoral people shouldn't be in academia .

Otherwise , the work they produce will only hurt others." ---- She had a serious expression, and her hands were gripped into tight fists. Liam paused. The next second, the grin on his face widened. " Now this is the Wendy I know. Which is why the best revenge is for Julian to leave the seminar and lose this precious opportunity." Wendy finally understood what he was trying to do. Liam's strategy was to make Julian lose what he cared about the most.

The rarity of this seminar was clear to anyone who was in the industry. Wasn't Julian targeting her so she would lose the right to speak in this seminar? Wendy stared at Liam, and her confused gaze turned into one of clarity. She smiled. "Alright. Tell me, how can I help you?" "Don't you think I'm scheming and shady?" "That's much better compared to the cruelty of him trying to destroy my reputation." After Wendy finished her sentence , she lightly punched his shoulder and winked at him.

Liam's smile widened, and he nodded. "I don't need you to do anything. You just have to wait. He will leave the seminar voluntarily." ---- She trusted Liam, so she didn't ask any more questions. With Liam's interference , a lot of the insults stopped. Even if Wendy didn't care about rumours , she no longer needed to worry about them hurting Liam as well.
