Hendrix studied Joseph Intently and seemed oblivious to Joseph’s embarrassment and frustration. 

“I heard that Miranda’s team chose to build their own lab off–campus because their lab on campus was ordered to undergo fire safety rectification,” he said calmly. 

At the mention of “fire safety rectification“, Joseph’s heart missed a beat. 

Sophie, standing behind him, felt a chill run down her spine. Hank, Yasmine, and Tina immediately fell silent. 

Joseph steeled himself. “Uh, yes. That’s true…” 

“Is there more to this?” Hendrix pressed. 

“Uh, well…” Joseph stammered, and his eyes darted around. “I’m not entirely sure. I still need to look into it and confirm the details.” 

Hendrix snapped, “You don’t know? As the Faculty of Bioinformatics associate dean, how ean you unaware that this is the only lab in your department that was ordered to make changes?

“Who was responsible for communicating with the fire department? Who finalized the renovation plan? 

“Were all relevant details properly conveyed? Shouldn’t you, as associate dean, be overseeing and ensuring these matters are handled?” 

With each question, Joseph felt himself shrinking further. By the end, he was hunched over and almost as if he were apologizing.

“The Faculty of Bioinformatics has been getting government and university funding for years, but they haven’t delivered any academic accomplishments. Instead, it seems like they’ve had their fair share of missteps. 

“It seems that when some folks get too comfortable, they will start to rot from the inside out.” 

After saying that, Hendrix walked away. 

Joseph stood there drenched in cold sweat as he struggled to stand straight. 

“Mr. Banks…” Sophie began. 

Joseph turned and glared at her fiercely. “You fool! What were you thinking trying to trip up Miranda and keep her from using the lab?

inspection, you still dare to pull this? Where did you find the guts?” 

Sophie was stunned by his outburst. As the realization Bank in, she noticed that her students were still present and had heard everything, which embarrassed her. 

But there was something more pressing on her mind. What does Mr. Taylor mean with those comments? Has he figured something out? Did Christine complain about us?” She looked at Joseph to search for 

reassurance. 

But he was too overwhelmed to offer any comfort. “What do you think? Those messes you created are bound to come to light!” 

His casual remark sent a chill down Sophie’s spine. 

No… She couldn’t just wait and see. 

Suddenly, an idea hit her. She turned to where Miranda was standing and smiled as she walked over. 

“Wow, Miranda!” she exclaimed. “You’re so impressive Just with a snap, the lab was built. I wonder if you got the approval from the relevant departments?”
