Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 197

“Look, as a student myself, I think you’re being unfair. Who says Cordelia’s grades are bad? And life isn’t just about hitting the books

“But as seniors, it’s crunch time for the SATs. Sure, life’s not all about studying, but each stage has its own priorities. Right now, hitting those books is about smoothing out the road ahead”

“Off–topic, guys, but I just realized how smart Sweetheart is! I’m even more of a fan now. Gorgeous, high GPA, and she’s a whiz at gaming? She’s like some kind of angel!”

Admiration for intellectuals with stellar academic achievements was common, and Sweetheart’s popularity had taken a hit after yesterday’s debacle. But today, with her educational credentials out in the open, her popularity had rebounded

Merry glanced at the chat room. “After all that drama, Sweetheart’s stream is even more popular now”

Little Parrot snorted, “Some no name university from Ontoky City, and she dares to compare with you? Preposterous! Lia, let’s show them!”

Cordelia, the subject of their discussion, was indifferent. “Boring.”

Ever since that livestream incident with Little Parrot, she had seen the irresponsible nature of online attacks, where words were thrown without regard, often wounding deeply. No wonder they called it online exposure.

She continued reading, unconcerned by the online chatter. Her real–life friends knew her as a straight–A student. Why worry about faceless netizens?

To her, it was all noise.

Seeing Cordelia’s cool response, Merry suddenly felt her own agitation was rather pointless.

But just because Lia wasn’t into the online scene didn’t mean Merry wasn’t.

Fuming, Merry logged into an alt account and waded into the online fray:

“You think Lia’s a bad student? FYI, she’s Ivy League material, aiming for Superiority College!”
