Chapter 127 Pressuring Renee

Right after Renee wrapped up her work, she checked her phone and found a message from Howard. It was a poster of her upcoming lecture, crafted by the student union’s publicity team. Howard had sent it for her approval.

Simultaneously, a picture of that same poster landed on Marcelo’s desk.

Aware of Renee’s upcoming lecture, Marcelo asked, “Have those campus rumors been sorted out?”

With a subtle expression, Luke said, “The PR department has a plan in place, but it seems someone at the school is already handling it pretty well. We might complicate things if we step in now.”

“Who’s behind it?“Marcelo asked, having a suspicion about who it might be..

Luke pulled out an iPad, found the relevant details, and showed them to Marcelo. “It’s Howard Lee.”

Howard had earned a reputation as the most effective student council president Bellbanks University had seen in a decade. His influence was significant. Not only was he involved in organizing Renee’s lecture, but he was also actively debunking the rumors spread by Herman and Maggie. He highlighted Renee’s professional accomplishments and scrutinized the motives behind their accusations.

Howard’s efforts had effectively swayed public opinion.

Moreover, the art school’s professors and leaders vouched for Renee’s character, swaying most students at the University to her side, discrediting Herman’s claims.

“It’s too bad Howard isn’t into pyramid schemes,” Marcelo said in a half–joking tone.

Luke was at a loss for words. He doubted Marcelo would encourage Howard to engage in illegal activities due to Howard’s apparent fondness for Renee.

Despite Howard’s assistance,Marcelo wasn’t entirely pleased.

Why did another man have to defend his woman?

He should be the one doing that!

On the day Renee was scheduled to give her lecture, Marcelo returned from his morning jog to an unexpected sight: His wife, who typically wouldn’t stir before eight o’clock, was already rummaging through the closet, selecting her attire.

“You’re up this early?”

“Yes, I’ve got a lecture at school today.“Renee stood before the full–length mirror, comparing two outfits before settling on a beige one.

The beige was more vibrant than black but still understated enough for a formal setting without being too old-

fashioned.
