Chapter 736: Who Dares Question You

The next morning, Roxanne awoke and immediately checked online comments. She was trending on Twitter. Initially fearing negative reactions, her heart sank as she viewed the first post.

To her surprise, the most viral tweet was a video of her professor, Harvey, in an interview with several of his internationally renowned research partners.

"I've long heard of the Damaris family's project," Harvey stated. "As Janet's professor, I'm extremely proud she's been chosen. I've also seen comments about her medical prowess. Please trust Janet; she'll surprise you."

He smiled, but his eyes were stern. The other researchers then offered similar endorsements.

Seeing those familiar faces, Roxanne's eyes welled up. The comments under the post had exploded, but unlike yesterday, most were apologies.

Bibomama: Janet? Is this the same Janet I know? She secretly returned to the country, and she's this gorgeous?

11Zollo22: She could succeed on looks alone, but she relies on talent? I'm a fan!

Most comments expressed surprise that Roxanne was Janet, and those unfamiliar with her were quickly informed by other netizens. While Janet was less popular domestically than Roxanne, she was internationally known, making her participation in the Damaris project more readily accepted under that name.

Yesterday's news had unexpectedly enhanced Janet's public image, transforming her into social media's "goddess of the medical world."

Roxanne was still adjusting to this overnight shift in public opinion. After further scrolling, she looked up her professor's contact information to thank him. However, his call came in before she could dial.

She answered. "Professor Lambert—"

"Why didn't you tell me about this? What do you take me for?" Harvey demanded.

Despite his stern tone, Roxanne felt warmth; she knew he was worried. "I'm sorry, Professor Lambert. It was all my fault, so…"

Revealing her identity as Janet would quickly connect her to Harvey. Given yesterday's harsh criticism, she feared damaging his reputation by being associated with such a controversial student.

The positive change in public perception was likely due to statements from the Queen family and Jessica.

"I'm not accepting excuses. You're my student, and anyone who questions you questions me," Harvey declared.
