Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

"What's that supposed to mean?" Flora lazily lifted her gaze.

Orla's face fell with disappointment. "Sis, I can't believe you'd do something like this. Our teachers always say it's okay if someone's not the brightest, but plagiarism? That's just crossing a line." "What on earth are you talking about!"

Darcy couldn't hold back anymore and burst out in fury! How dare she? Accusing Flora of plagiarism in front of everyone-was she trying to ruin Flora completely?

"Orla, stop this nonsense!" Mr. Atticus pretended to scold her angrily, though he was secretly curious. Could Flora really have plagiarized?

"Mr. Atticus, I'm not making this up."

Orla said earnestly, "I saw an identical paper on the Academic Union website before!"

"You must be mistaken!" Mr. Atticus's face darkened. "Dr. Ray is a highly esteemed figure. His students would never resort to plagiarism!"

"I can prove it to you!"

As the mentor and student accused Flora, they also dragged Dr. Ray into the mess.

"Brother," Orla turned to Shawn, "Can I use your laptop?"

Shawn's face turned as dark as a storm cloud. With a stern glance from Dr. Ray, he grudgingly handed over his laptop.

Fine. Go ahead. Let's see what you find.

There was no way Flora had plagiarized.

Orla quickly typed in the website and, relying on her memory, searched for an account. After scrolling down about two pages, she found what she was looking for!

Her eyes lit up!

The paper had been published a while ago, and she was able to find it quickly because this blogger was very famous but rarely posted-maybe once every six months, and each time it caused a sensation!

She had searched for this blogger's papers before to draw inspiration. But she was clever; she knew how to disguise her sources, unlike Flora, who was foolish enough to copy directly!

"Look, Mr. Atticus! Flora's paper is exactly the same as this one!" She handed the laptop to him, indignant.

Mr. Atticus first looked at the printed paper, then at the one on the laptop, his face showing surprise.

"This..."

They were indeed identical.

The journalists were stunned too. Even if they couldn't understand the content, the two papers were the same! Even a grade schooler could see it.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

"University of Maple Grove is hailed as one of Austenberg's top institutions, and its lab is the leading one in the medical department. How could they admit someone like this... This isn't just plagiarism; it's mindless copying."

"University of Maple Grove's lab wouldn't choose her to compete with us, right? That would be outright offensive."

"Dr. Ray has a stellar reputation in

the medical field, known for his integrity and as a leading figure of the new generation. Now it seems, that's all just talk... Producing a plagiarizing student, his own character can't be that great..."

Shawn and the others, hearing the mocking remarks, were furious!

What did they know? Flora would never plagiarize!

"Cough, cough... Let's not talk about this anymore..."

Mr. Atticus coughed hypocritically, saying, "Every year, some students plagiarize, but it's not fair to blame Dr. Ray. Im sure Dr. Ray was kept in the dark. If he had known his student was plagiarizing, he would have expelled her long ago.
