Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 111

Lorna used to find embarrassing Funny a boring thing, but now, as the words left her mouth, there was a thrilling rush of satisfaction.

Especially when she saw Fanny freeze, her eyes wide with shock, Lorna couldn’t help but revel in the moment

even more.

She casually brushed her bangs aside with a flick of her hand and continued with a smile, “Can you believe it? Our girl got accepted on a scholarship, and she’s still hitting the books when she could be scrolling through her phone or hanging out.”

Fanny glanced over at Cordella, who was indeed not playing on her phone, but diligently working on some math problems.

Fanny wasn’t up to date with the high school system these days, so she didn’t doubt Lorna’s words. But Sallie frowned, clearly skeptical, “That can’t be right.”

“What’s wrong?” Fanny asked, puzzled.

Sallie directed her gaze toward Cordelia, “The early admissions season hasn’t even started. Even if we’re talking about academic competitions, the finals haven’t taken place yet. How could she have been accepted already? And to Superiority College of all places?”

Sallie spoke with a hint of pride that drew the attention of nearby onlookers, who started to gather around.

“What’s going on?” a nosy party–goer asked, and soon a group of society ladies had joined the fray.

Fanny couldn’t help but smirk, “Oh Lorna, there’s no need for fibs. I might not know about early college admissions, but my Sallie here does. So, because I mentioned she’s attending Ontoky University, that’s the reason you claimed your daughter got accepted into Superiority College?”

The topic of Cordelia’s scholarship was something only high school students and their parents were concerned with. As these parents were busy with their own careers, they didn’t usually pay much attention to others” affairs, so most were clueless.

Hearing Fanny’s words, the crowd started chattering.

“Just a bit of one–upmanship. But making up a story about Superiority College? That’s a bit much, isn’t it? Who even gets into that university?”

“Our kids are looking abroad anyway. Many of them are studying overseas. No need for such comparisons.”

This kind of behavior is in poor taste.”
