?Chapter 311:


    While the des on her track record remained a puzzle to him, Omiros couldn’t help but be awestruck. He now understood why Ellie and Kaiden, both extraordinary in their own right, found each other.


    “The former,” Ellie admitted, shrugging her shoulders.


    Under legal pressure, Herman publicly apologized to Ellie, acknowledging the falsehood and nder. However, such apologies did little to dispel the pervasive belief in the rumors.


    Whispers about Ellie’s purportedly dissolute private life and her supposed mistreatment of pursuers echoed loudly across Critport University. The online forum of the school became a hotbed of gossip. In the current discourse on the Critport University forum, the focus shifted between Ellie’s track record and the swirling rumors.


    “Such idle chatter shouldn’t weigh on your spirit!” Omirosforted her. “Despite Kaiden being a scoundrel, he’s a wealthy, intelligent, and handsome scoundrel. You won’t tire of him in less than half a year. I doubt there’s any man around you who can outshine him.”


    For a moment, Ellie was at a loss for words.


    His logic seemed oddly sound.


    “Thank you for the constion,” Ellie replied with a smile.


    Omiros recoiled, as if confronted by a ghost. “I wasn’t consoling you!”


    She was left speechless. Did this guy inherit Kaiden’s peculiar character?


    Shortly thereafter, Ellie received a message from Howard expressing a desire to discuss the content and structure of her uing speech.


    Anxiety crept into Ellie’s voice. “Can I really give a speech in this situation?”


    Howard’s calm and gentle voice emanated from the voice messages. “Ellie, wise minds pay no heed to baseless rumors. Trust me, it’ll be resolved soon. When are you avable? Let’s meet and go over the details. It’ll be more convenient.”


    Despite responding with gratitude, Ellie remained skeptical.


    Com


    If quashing rumors were that straightforward, there wouldn’t be a need for online opinion influencers.


    Nevertheless, Ellie agreed to meet him the next day, acknowledging the favor he had extended.


    Omiros, eavesdropping intently, couldn’t resist inquiring, “Ellie, is that your friend? It sounds like a guy. A schoolmate, perhaps?”


    “Indeed,” she replied.


    “Oh,” Omiros said, rolling his eyes yfully. “Is he handsome?”


    After pondering for a moment, Ellie admitted, “Yes, he is. Back when I hadn’t graduated, he was regarded as the most handsome man inw school. I reckon he still holds that title.”


    Omiros chuckled and probed further, “Who’s the better catch, him or Kaiden?”


    ring at him, Ellie retorted, “You should focus on preparing for your exams.”
