?Chapter 315:


    Yet, the way Carole revealed information was just enough for Ellie to misunderstand her rtionship with Kaiden.


    University seniors usually had lighter ss schedules. Ellie decided to meet Howard at the campus bubble tea store that afternoon.


    “I remember you were quite fond of the signature bubble tea here during your time at university,” Howard said, having arrived early and already ordered Ellie’s drink.


    Ellie expressed her gratitude.


    Without dy, Howard presented the lecture n to her.


    As she perused it, he pointed out the important details.


    Meanwhile, Ellie overheard a group of students nearby.


    “Did you hear? At the university’s anniversary two days ago, there were rumors about a student being indiscreet in her personal life.”


    “What? That’s shocking! Who is it?”


    “I think herst name is Gordon. She’s attractive andes from a prominent family. But I never expected such behavior from her.”


    “Ellie Gordon? I’ve seen her. She exploits her beauty to flirt with multiple men!”


    Howard paused his exnation.


    The air grew tense. As Howard’s voice faded, the nearby chatter seemed louder.


    However, Ellie just chuckled and asked, “Are you still sure about organizing the lecture with me involved?”


    “Ellie, they’re just spreading rumors. I’ll set them straight!” Howard was visibly upset.


    As he started to stand, Ellie gently grasped his wrist.


    “Leave it be. If you confront them now, it’ll just blow things out of proportion.” Ellie quickly calmed Howard down, worried that her troubles might negatively impact him.


    Howard felt Ellie’s hand on his wrist. Her warm touch sent a thrill through him, making his heart flutter.

    Noticing he had stopped, Ellie released his hand, a chuckle escaping her. “Howard, my advisor told me the current student union leader at our school is known for being level-headed. What’s with the impulsiveness today?”


    “Ellie, they shouldn’t be talking about you like that.” Howard gazed away.


    He was usuallyposed, but this situation crossed a line for him. The woman before him meant a lot to him. No one could insult her in his presence.


    “It’s fine. I’ve heard worse,” Ellie smiled. After the ident, such talk didn’t bother her anymore.


    Back then, she went from being a respected daughter of the Gordon family to beingbeled as having an unknown parental lineage. She had endured harsher words.


    These students were now whispering behind her back, but the wealthy socialites had once openly humiliated her.


    Howard gritted his teeth. “Let’s get back to discussing the lecture.” He was determined to get rid of all rumors before Ellie’s lecture at the school.
