Chapter 67

Keen was the high school heartthrob, a status cemented after he was voted “Most Handsome‘ last year. His chiseled features and easy charm had earned him a modest following, with over a hundred thousand followers on his social media.

When he posted a comment online, it didn’t take long for someone to spill the details about his family background Keen was the eldest grandson of the prominent Lewis family from Lakeshore City!

The post listed out the influence of both the Lewis family and the Delaney family, concluding that the Lewis family held more sway than the Delaney family, suggesting that if anyone was to benefit from nepotism, it would be Keen, not Cordelia!

The twist in the conversation diverted the attention of netizens who started flooding the internet with comments like, “There are people richer than you who work harder than you. How do you outshine them?”

Meanwhile, the Keen & Cordelia shippers from fan forums swarmed Keen’s social media, dominating the comment section.

“OMG! My ship is sailing for real!”

is Keen clearing the air for Cordelia? I’m so here for this couple!”

“Crying, this is so sweet! Keen hasn’t been active in months, and the one time he is, it’s for Cordelia. And he’s totally shifted the focus away from Superiority College! Just think about that!”

Everard sat in the Midnight Scent, scrolling through his phone, his face growing darker by the second. Beside him, Calvert sensed the air tangling with jealousy.

Swallowing nervously, Calvert ventured, “Boss, maybe Keen’s just trying to…distract everyone, you know?”

But at his words, Everard let out a chilling snort and asked coldly, “Does this have anything to do with him?”

Calvert went silent. Hope Keen could dodge this trouble.

It was partially their fault for catching on too late. After all, Everard and his guys were all busy without time for social media.

Calvert asked, “What should we do about this…?”

Everard replied without hesitation, “Don’t delete the post.”

The news of Cordelia proving Batra’s Conjecture would hit the newspapers eventually, shocking everyone. No special treatment was needed.

But they couldn’t let Cordelia get bashed either. Changing the conversation was a good strategy.
