Chapter 26 Yoselin turned around and spotted Helen, who was looking at Yoselin with a fake shocked expression. around
The forum says Yasmine only has a high school diploma and used some shady tactics to become our psychology teacher. It's so embarrassing to have such a per us!" Helen glanced at Yasmine, her expression oozing arrogance. Yoselin was furious and about to confront Helen, but Yasmine, who had been eating quietly, frowned and stood up, positioning herself in front of Yoselin. With a steady gaze, she approached Helen and asked, "Did you post that on the forum?" "And what if I did?" Helen sneered, showing no remorse. Instead, she seemed even more arrogant. "Isn't what I said the truth?
She didn't care that Yoselin knew she was the poster. It was a fact that Yasmine hadn't graduated from college, so technically, she only had a high school diploma. In Helen's mind, she had just stated the facts-what was there to worry about? Yoselin shot her a sharp look and stated coldly, "That post is getting a lot of attention. You might not know this, but making up stories to slander others can lead to serious consequences, even jail time..." The crowd's eyes shifted between the two, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Slander?" Helen scoffed. "Why don't you tell me if graduating from high school is slander or if using some special means is slander? Do you really think she earned her place as a psychology teacher on her own merit?"
People around them began to murmur. They all believed it was impossible for someone with just a high school diploma to be a university psychology teacher. Since Yasmine hadn't officially graduated, what proof could she possibly have to counter Helen's claims? Just then, Yasmine spoke up confidently, "I did."
Everyone fell silent in shock. Helen frowned, clearly taken aback. "What did you say?"
"I said I earned my position here legit." Yasmine's gaze remained steady as she continued, "What you said is true. I haven't completed my studies here. I can't really call myself a college graduate."
"Well, how can you possibly be a teacher then?" Helen pressed, gritting her teeth. Tue, Sep
"Because..." Yasmine looked at her, taking her time and saying, "I'm currently on an extended leave of absence."

'An extended leave? Everyone gasped. By the timeline, Yasmine should have graduated by now. According to school rules, no one could be on leave for so long. Once they exceeded their graduation timeline, they were automatically dismissed.
"I wasn't able to graduate on time for personal reasons, and the school made an exception to grant me an indefinite leave of absence. My enrollment status is still
active." Yasmine explained calmly. "I'm back partly for an internship and partly to finish my remaining studies."
The crowd remained skeptical.
But Helen couldn't hide her glee as she retorted sarcastically, "Yasmin, don't kid. yourself. Everyone knows the school doesn't make exceptions for anyone. You really think they'd bend the rules..." Before she could finish, a shout rang out from the crowd, "I know who Ms. Sanchez is! No wonder she looks so familiar."
Everyone turned over and saw Fiona Miller looking at Yasmine with excitement and admiration on her chubby face.
"Are you the legendary figure from our department, the one who almost got perfect scores to get in, finished all three years' worth of courses in just one year, scoring straight As, and started treating countless psychology patients from sophomore year without a single failure, Ms. Sanchez?
"I heard that legendary senior never graduated, and all the professors in the Psychology Department are waiting for her to come back. I've seen a photo of you with one of the professors before. I can't believe you're really here!" Fiona exclaimed, her eyes shining with excitement.
