Aria nodded and said, “Yes, I did.“.
Amy asked, “Who did you study under?”
Aria replied, “Mono.”
Fred was stunned. He turned to look at Aria, his

eyes wide in disbelief. He thought, ‘Is it really the Mono I am thinking of?‘
Amy stared at Aria for a good seven or eight seconds, then a slow smile spread across his face. She said, “So it’s really you. I am your senior.
She walked over to Aria and extended her hand. She said, “It’s our first time meeting. I didn’t prepare a gift for you this time, but I’ll make it up to you next time.”
Aria smiled and asked, “Prof. Moore, you don’t doubt me at all?”
Amy said, “There’s no need for you to fake something like that. You’re outstanding–it’s no surprise Mono would make an exception for you,” Griffin said, exchanging contact info with her.
“Mono has a lot of students, and soon, even more people will be reaching out to you. Better get used to it.”
“Thank you for the heads–up, Prof. Moore,” Aria said.
“No need to be so formal. Just call me Amy,” Amy said with a smile.
“Alright, Amy,” Aria replied cheerfully.
Tracy also introduced herself and exchanged contact information with Aria.
After Tracy and Amy left, Fred finally snapped out of his daze. He said to Aria, “So you’re the mysterious student of Mono everyone’s been talking about?”
Aria smiled and said, “That’s right. Bet you didn’t see that coming, huh?”
“Honestly, I’m a bit shocked. Now I’m even more worried you’ll leave us,” Fred said.
“Relax. I won’t go anywhere until my contract’s up,” Aria reassured him.
After Fred left, Aria received from Maverick. Maverick asked, “Hey, kiddo, is Mono your senior master?”
“Yes, he is, “Aria replied.
“Set up a time for us to meet him first,” Maverick said.
“Sure thing,” Aria agreed.
After hanging up, Maverick let out a long sigh.
Finlay said, “Dad, if you want to hand the Todd School over to Aria, we have no objections. Her medical skills really are incredible.”
After all, it was Aria who saved Maverick–she was a true benefactor to everyone in the Todd School.

“That girl would probably think it’s too much trouble anyway. Let’s just have Nikolas inherit it. Get things ready, and tell Culver he’s out,” Maverick said.
“Yes, Dad,” Finlay replied.
Maverick pondered, ‘All the scum in the Todd School has been cleared out–there is no need to keep Culver anymore.‘ He had already prepared the evidence–it just needed to be handed to the police.
Westin told Mono about the trending topic. He said, “Mr. Smith, some people online are accusing Aria of copying your work.”
The hate comments had already been scrubbed, but Westin showed Mono the screenshots the PR department had saved.
Mono frowned and said, “What’s with these people? Even if Madelyn isn’t the author, this has nothing to do with plagiarism. Help me record a video–I want to clear this up.”
“Give me a moment to get things ready,” Westin replied.
“What are you waiting for? Just grab your phone and start recording right now,” Mono ordered.
“On it, Mr. Smith,” Westin replied.
Two hours later, the hashtags [Mono defends his student] and [Mono persona shattered] went totally viral.
In the video, Mono looked dead serious, pointing at three printed paintings and giving his blunt take. Finally, he declared, “No matter how I look at these, I don’t see a single trace of plagiarism.
“And for those saying the styles are similar, this girl has been learning to paint from me since she was ten. If her style wasn’t similar, now that would be weird.”
At the end of the video, Mono let out a cold snort and said, “Alright, post it now. If anyone dares to spread more rumors, I’ll drag them to court myself.”
One person commented: [Aria is actually Mono’s student,]
Another commented: [Then why did she go into medicine instead?]
Someone else commented: [Don’t forget, she’s amazing at medicine too–she’s saved so many people.]
One commented: [I always pictured Mono as this gentle, scholarly old man. Never thought he’d be so grumpy.]
Someone commented: [Ever since the divorce, Aria’s been winning at life, while the Cole family totally tanked. That’s karma for you.]
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Ophelia burst into Daniel’s room, shouting, “Liam, did you hear that? Aria’s been caught plagiarizing Mono’s paintings. This is our chance to take her down and get the Cole Group back.”
Liam was scrolling through the comments, his fingers trembling as he tried to keep his emotions in check. He thought, ‘So Aria really is Mono’s student‘
He closed his eyes, turned off his phone, and said flatly, “Can’t you see Grandpa’s resting? Get out.”

Ophelia had never been treated so coldly by Liam before. She stood there, stunned. She stammered, “Liam, what did you just say?”
“I said, get out,” Liam replied, his voice icy.
