Charles Riley was genuinely shocked.

Isla Olsen and Keira Olsen had always had a poor relationship while at university, a fact which everyone vaguely sensed.

The reason, however, remained unknown.

Later, at the graduation ceremony, when Jake Horton proposed to Isla Olsen, everyone started to speculate that the two women’s animosity was due to a man.

So, why did Dr. South recruit Isla Olsen as her research student?

He let the question slip without thinking.

And as soon as he did, everyone at the table turned to look at him, their eyes widening with shock.

Someone couldn’t help but ask hesitantly, “Charles, what did you just say?”

Charles Riley: …

He immediately looked apologetically towards Keira Olsen.

Keira Olsen didn’t really care.

She did not want to reveal her identity, indeed to avoid being sought after by too many people, but at this point, it didn’t matter if it was revealed.

Just as she was about to say something, Erin Davis’s voice rang out, “Charles, what do you mean? You can’t possibly be suggesting that Keira Olsen is Dr. South, are you? What kind of joke is that?”

The others laughed as well:

“Charles, you really can say anything!”

“Don’t stir up trouble here and make a big deal ha~”

“Dr. South is so influential in the new energy industry, how could it be a twenty-something-year-old girl? He published papers three years ago when we were just sophomores and still not very clear about the core technologies in new energy!”

“Charles, you’re such a clown…”

Seeing that no one believed him, Charles’s stubbornness kicked in, “Why would I lie to you? I work at Dr. South’s company, how could I not know who Dr. South is?! Our classmate Keira Olsen is Dr. South!”

Everyone’s gaze turned in unison towards Keira Olsen.

Erin Davis spoke up, “Keira Olsen, say something! He’s saying you’re Dr. South, you wouldn’t dare to admit it, would you?”

“Charles, just shut up, will you? The real person hasn’t spoken, and even knows that identity can’t be falsely claimed, so what are you talking about?”

“Better shut up!”

“Such an international joke is not funny at all.”

Charles looked aggrievedly at everyone, “Why won’t you believe me?”

He looked towards Keira Olsen.

He wanted Keira Olsen to say something, but then he suddenly realized that Keira Olsen always kept her identity a secret. It was only in a moment of desperation that he blurted it out.

Now he was feeling regretful.

He shouldn’t have disclosed her identity without Dr. South’s consent.

He didn’t dare ask Keira Olsen to defend him and could only sigh silently, bowing his head.

But unexpectedly, the next moment, he heard the girl beside him speak in a faint voice, “He’s not wrong.”

Charles Riley: ?

He looked incredulously at Keira Olsen, “You, you admitted it?”

“Mmm.” Keira Olsen sipped from her teacup, “There wasn’t really anything that needed to be kept secret anyway.”

Charles Riley laughed, “Right, right, you are right!”

The way the two were talking made the students around furrow their brows, yet they still couldn’t bring themselves to believe it.

Erin Davis’s gaze swept over Charles Riley and Keira Olsen before she seemed to understand something, “Charles, you suddenly being so polite to her today and protecting her, it couldn’t be just because of this, could it? I remember you two didn’t have much to do with each other before!”

Charles Riley nodded, “We are all classmates after all, there’s no hatred or anything, I just happened to find out today that she is Dr. South….”

Erin Davis laughed, “You’ve been tricked, right? Keira Olsen, you’re really something! Just grab anyone at random and you can spin them around with lies. Are you pretending to be Dr. South just so that Charles will protect you at the party? That’s really hypocritical!”

After saying that, she looked at Charles Riley, “And you are so gullible! Whatever she says just goes, right? How old is she? Could Dr. South really be someone this young? Can’t you use your brain?!”

Dr. South’s presence in the field of new energy is just too significant.

She is the only authoritative figure in recent years!

The papers she has published over the past few years have all helped push the research in new energy forward, one could say that she alone has advanced the progress of new energy research.

Therefore, those in this field have a deep fascination with Dr. South.

Dr. South is modest in her conduct, and there are a thousand different Dr. Souths in the hearts of a thousand people, but the one thing they would all agree on is Dr. South’s age.

She should be in her prime, with enough experience and wisdom, enough knowledge. How could it be a student who just graduated from college?

It was just too absurd!

The classmates simply didn’t believe it, and one after another, they opened their mouths:

“Keira Olsen is probably just teasing Charles Riley, right?”

“There must be some misunderstanding… But Charles, you’ve entered society now, how can you still be so naive?”

“Dr. South has joined our school and become a specially-invited tutor, Professor Miller has now been promoted to be the dean of the energy school, he must have seen Dr. South for sure, such a lie is easily exposed…”

Charles Riley didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Why don’t you believe it? Keira Olsen didn’t lie to me, she even had no intention of revealing her identity, it’s just that I wanted to add her on WhatsApp, and that’s when I found out….”

Erin Davis sneered, “I think you’ve had your head turned by a ghost! Never mind Professor Miller, let’s ask Isla Olsen, huh? Isla, weren’t you about to be specially recruited as a graduate student by Dr. South? You must have met Dr. South, right? Tell us, is she or isn’t she Dr. South?!”

Isla Olsen clenched her fists, feeling a rush of humiliation.

How could she possibly vindicate Keira Olsen?

She laughed briefly and changed the subject, “I’ve given up on graduate school, after thinking it over, studying for a master’s degree isn’t that useful… It’s better to take over the family business earlier.”

Erin Davis was stunned, “So you haven’t met Dr. South either?”

Isla Olsen didn’t answer, but Jake Horton frowned nearby, “Enough, let’s not dwell on this topic anymore, today is Professor Miller’s birthday, let’s discuss how to celebrate instead!”

Once Jake Horton spoke, everyone shifted the topic, though some still whispered:

“Young Mr. Horton still seems to hold a flame, huh? Protecting Keira Olsen’s face!”

“Definitely, after all, chasing his goddess for four years, and especially since he hasn’t succeeded… he’s bound to pine for her for a lifetime!”

“But Keira Olsen really is outrageous, how could she say such a lie…”

As everyone was talking, Professor Miller arrived in a hurry, apologizing as soon as he entered, “I had a class this morning, so I’m late, sorry to keep you waiting, students!”

Everyone stood up immediately to welcome him, exchanging a few polite words.

Just then, Erin Davis suddenly said in a shrill voice, “Professor Miller, you just missed a great show while you were away! Do you know? Keira Olsen claims she’s Dr. South, isn’t that laughable?!”
