Chapter 311:
While the accolades on her track record remained a puzzle to him, Omiros couldn’t help but be awestruck. He now understood why Ellie and Kaiden, both extraordinary in their own right, found each other.
“The former,” Ellie admitted, shrugging her shoulders.
Under legal pressure, Herman publicly apologized to Ellie, acknowledging the falsehood and slander. However, such apologies did little to dispel the pervasive belief in the rumors.
Whispers about Ellie’s purportedly dissolute private life and her supposed mistreatment of pursuers echoed loudly across Critport University. The online forum of the school became a hotbed of gossip. In the current discourse on the Critport University forum, the focus shifted between Ellie’s track record and the swirling rumors.
“Such idle chatter shouldn’t weigh on your spirit!” Omiros comforted her. “Despite Kaiden being a scoundrel, he’s a wealthy, intelligent, and handsome scoundrel. You won’t tire of him in less than half a year. I doubt there’s any man around you who can outshine him p>

Nevertheless, Ellie agreed to meet him the next day, acknowledging the favor he had extended.
Omiros, eavesdropping intently, couldn’t resist inquiring, “Ellie, is that your friend? It sounds like a guy. A schoolmate, perhaps p>
“Indeed,” she replied.
“Oh,” Omiros said, rolling his eyes playfully. “Is he handsome p>
After pondering for a moment, Ellie admitted, “Yes, he is. Back when I hadn’t graduated, he was regarded as the most handsome man in law school. I reckon he still holds that title p>
Omiros chuckled and probed further, “Who’s the better catch, him or Kaiden p>
