135 True Identity
When Charles made this statement, everyone was stunned and looked at him in confusion.
What do you mean? Will Dr. South come today?
Charles couldnt help but feel a vague sense of exhilaration.
It was as though a maestro was right beside them, yet these people were blissfully unaware.
He was about to say something
Keira gave him a fleeting glance.
Even though she didnt speak, Charles immediately understood.
Dr. South had kept her information so confidential because she didnt want to be exposed.
Thinking about it, he could understand why.
With so many classmates here, all involved in new
energy, if they knew she was Dr. South, Keira would never have a moments peace.
He coughed and frowned, saying, Is Dr. Souths

business something you can inquire about? Honestly, I just met Dr. South in person today myself!
Thats how cheeky boys often talked, and it sparked laughter among the crowd.
Right, right, were not worthy of inquiring
Dr. South is now the top expert in our industry. Our company has always wanted to cooperate with him, but Mr. Morgan from your company is impenetrable. No matter how many gifts our boss has sent him, its
been no use.
Your Mr. Morgan is pretty slick, too
The conversation veered off as everyone started to complain about their bosses and corporate life, including someone who said, Interns at our company have absolutely no rights! They spend their days
buying coffee for the staff, dealing with printing, doing grunt work its ridiculous!
Same with us, but I dont indulge them. Im a graduate of Oceanion University, so why should I do menial tasks for them? They dont pay me double the salary!
Hahaha, looks like college graduates are reforming the
workplace!

Amidst the lively discussion, more people continued to
arrive.
They were old classmates, each joining in the chat.
Keira was low-key and didnt talk much. She was soon overlooked by others, which she found rather pleasant.
After a while, most of the classmates almost arrived. High-profile individuals like Jake and Isla finally made
their entrance.
The moment the two appeared at the entrance, everyone immediately stood up.
Mr. Horton is here!
Whoa, today were feasting in such a fancy hotel, and
its all thanks to Mr. Horton!
I hesitated at the door and hardly dared to come in.
Its so luxurious how much would a meal here cost?
You dont know? This hotel is owned by the Horton family. Mr. Horton is treating us to dinner, and it probably doesnt cost him a thing!

The crowd jested playfully, each chiming in as they gathered around Jake, escorting him to the table and offering him a seat next to the place of honor.
Seeing these old classmates, Jake felt a tinge of nostalgia for the innocent days of college, and the austerity in his eyes seemed to lessen for a moment.
Isla was like a perfect ornament, gracefully sitting next to him, arm in arm.
After he and Isla sat down, he looked around and asked, Whats everyone talking about?
Hey, arent we just discussing work? Its been two months since graduation, and most of us have found jobs or have been admitted to grad school
Jake took the opportunity to speak. Well, if ther anything work-related that I can help with, just le
know.
Someone immediately laughed and said, Forget it. Who doesnt know that the Horton Group only hires masters and doctoral graduates? Were only
undergraduates. Even if we got in through your
connections we would only amharrage von if we cant

do the job well!
Hahaha, we dont want to struggle at the Horton Group. Theres no way we can keep up!
While everyone was laughing, Erin shifted her glance and suddenly said, Speaking of which, theres actually someone among us who hasnt found a job yet. Mr. Horton, do you remember Keira? Maybe you could help her out?
Erin and Isla still kept in touch, but not much.
By bringing this up, her intention was to embarrass
Keira.
Everyone knew that during college, Jake pursued Keira for four whole years! It had started from the first year, and the entire college knew about it.
Unfortunately, at the graduation ceremony, Jake held bouquet of flowers but proposed to Isla instead.
Erin felt that mentioning this was an insult to Keira.
But as soon as she said this, she failed to notice both Jake and Islas expressions stiffen momentarily.
Give Keira a job at the Horton Group?

Dr. South didnt need a job referral. Not only that, but Isla was currently hell-bent on getting Keira out of the Horton family. How could she possibly allow Keira to become even more entangled with the Horton family?
Isla, displeased, looked down and said nothing.
Jake also abruptly clenched his fists, his gaze falling on
Keira.
But Charles couldnt listen to this anymore. Erin, whats wrong with you? Why are you always targeting Keira? You know perfectly well what happened
between Keira and Mr. Horton. Is it fun for you to deliberately bring it up?
Charless blunt words made everyone at the table look disapprovingly at Erin.
If Erin had initially appeared to be concerned about her classmate, now it was crystal clear to everyone that she was targeting Keira.

Reprimanded by Charles, Erin felt a wave of mortification, and anger rose in her chest. She bit her lip in fury as she glared at him, then snapped angrily. I just think Keira is the worst off among us, and I wanted Mr. Horton to help her out for old times sake!

She probably wouldnt dare to ask for help herself! Whats wrong with that?
Although few people believed her, someone still
stepped up to mediate. Okay, thats enough. Lets stop there. Charles, really, were having a reunion. Why are
you so sensitive?
That made Erin instantly feel wronged, and tears welled up in her. She looked at Keira, who sat there as if it had nothing to do with her and sneered. Exactly, whats with all the fuss, Charles? If others didnt know
better, they might think youre hooking up with Keira!
Charles was astonished.
He was taken aback and immediately exclaimed, How am I worthy! Dont be ridiculous!
His words further agitated Erin.
She liked Charles, but he just said he was unworthy of
Keira. Didnt that mean she ranked below Keira?!
Erin immediately sneered. How are you not worthy? I heard Keiras masters degree recommendation was canceled, and now she hasnt gone on to grad school, nor found a job. Shes always been working part-time all through college right? And now without a proner

job, shes just relying on her looks. What use is that? No wonder Mr. Horton didnt choose her in the end! Look at Isla. She was admitted to Dr. Souths graduate program! Charles, dont think youre any better just because you work under Dr. South! Isla is Dr. Souths graduate student. Has she ever boasted or been
arrogant?
Isla was shocked.
She immediately clenched her fists, wishing she could silence Erin!
It was true that after Keiras identity as Dr. South was revealed, she accepted an offer from Oceanion University, but the graduate program was left behind.
Bringing up that now was so embarrassing!
She was about to change the subject when Charles already looked at Keira with surprise, asking, Dr. South, did you accept Isla as your graduate student?!
