A panel comprising Isabella's master's supervisor and a master's supervisor from the Imperial College Londonwould review the collaborative traces and make a final judgment . On the day of the hearing , Chloe dressed in a sharp , deep blue suit , a white stand - collar blouse underneath , a tailored deep blue blazer , a matching A - line skirt , and black mid - heeled pumps . Looking in the mirror , Chloe felt something was missing . She immediately went to a nearby Chanel boutique and picked out a matching set of rings , earrings , and a brooch . " You have excellent taste , miss ! " The sales associate didn't skimp on the praise . Chloe responded with a smile . " Thank you . " When Chloe arrived at the venue , Julian was already there , even earlier than her . After a while , when all the professors had arrived , Isabella was still absent . " Professors , the phone number left by Ms. Isabella Rossi remains unreachable . Prior to this , we also sent physical invitations , but received no response . According to regulations , this hearing will now commence formally . " After a staff member explained the situation , they instructed others to present the prepared documents : the original thesis , Chloe's submitted writing records , citation logs , etc. Since Isabella provided no materials , the hearing staff gathered her academic records , class assignments , and other papers from her student days for reference . The result was announced quickly , with almost no suspense . " By the decision of the review panel , the ownership of this thesis is awarded to Ms. Chloe Thompson . Furthermore , with the approval of the Dean of Manchester Medical School , part of Ms. Isabella Rossi's research credits are revoked , and her Master's diploma and degree cértificate are rescinded . " Applause thundered through the room . Julian , standing beside her , was overjoyed and gave her a warm hug . Chloe felt her hands trembling , her face flushed , and tears welling in her eyes .

" Chloe shook her head . " I'm just ... so happy . " Her voice trembled slightly . " I never imagined it would go so smoothly ... My family - they raised me by the old maxim : 'Don't make waves . ' But here ... I was finally carried by a current of justice , not silenced by it . " " I thought ... as long as I possessed ... " Chloe paused here , as if stuck , but quickly regained her composure and continued . " It doesn't matter . None of the past matters anymore . What's more important is now . I'm truly happy . Even though this was always rightfully mine , I never thought I could actually get justice ! " Julian's eyes also sparkled ! " Yes ! There is absolutely justice here ! Chloe ! You deserve to reclaim your own work! " When Chloe returned home , she also received an official congratulatory email from her undergraduate university . Logging into medical academic websites , she found the efficiency remarkably high - the authorship under the thesis title had already been changed from Isabella Rossi to Chloe Thompson . Chloe was so happy she felt like spinning around her home several times . It seemed her new life truly began the moment she signed those divorce papers . Before marriage , she lived for her parents and family . After marriage , she moved her household registration under Liam's name and worked tirelessly for him , morning and night . In those three years ... she had hardly ever cooked a single meal just for herself ... So , divorce and rebirth were truly synonymous . Chapter 13
