137 Husband? 

The moment these words were spoken, the entire private room fell silent. 

Everyone turned their eyes to Erin. 

Someone whispered, “Didn’t Mr. Horton just say this matter is over? Why bring it up again?” 

that 

Others commented. “Well, when someone’s lies are too outrageous, should they not be called out? Mr. Horton and Isla spared her feelings by not exposing her, out of consideration for past relationships, but we shouldn’t cater to her behavior.” 

Jake and Isla, who had been in high spirits, both 

stiffened at these words. 

Jake immediately glanced at Isla. 

Isla coughed and tried to shift the topic. “Today is Professor Miller’s birthday. Let’s raise our glasses and wish Professor Miller a happy birthday first!” 

At her words, everyone started raising their glasses. 

Keira stood among the crowd, also picking up her glass with an indifferent expression. Only Charles

seemed indignant and displeased. 

Professor Miller was ushered to the seat of honor, and he too picked up his glass upon seeing this. 

“Sir, happy birthday to you. We wish you good health! Many happy returns!” 

After the students congratulated him in unison, Professor Miller beamed and raised his glass. Just when everyone was about to sit down, he suddenly addressed Keira. “Keira, come here. Sit next to me!” 

He pointed to the empty seat beside him. “I finally caught you. I have some questions to discuss with 

you!” 

These words left everyone in shock. 

All eyes turned to Keira in disbelief. 

Keira hesitated for a moment and then, with a hint of resignation, moved to Professor Miller’s side. “Professor, happy birthday.” 

“Yes, happy! I’m happy just because you came!” Professor Miller said, “I called you so many times to come meet me at the college, and you always found excuses not to come… Today, I’ve finally caught you.

337 HI 

You can’t rush off this afternoon! You must have a long 

chat with me.” 

Keira couldn’t help but laugh, “Professor, I’ve genuinely been busy…” 

She had been preoccupied with taking care of old Mrs. Horton and matching wits with Isla. Professor Miller’s WhatsApp messages and calls had to be declined for the time being. 

Their conversation was intimate, and Erin sneered softly. “This Keira really knows how to play her cards right. It seems pretty people can impress just about anyone. Professor Miller is so strict with us, but he’s always smiling at her…” 

The rest of the students also found it strange and 

started discussing in private 

Hearing these increasingly absurd comments, Charle spoke up. “Professor Miller, please tell everyone that Keira is Dr. South! They didn’t believe me just now 

when I told them…” 

Professor Miller looked at everyone with a smile. “Alright, today I’ll formally introduce her to you all. Here’s my colleague seated beside me. Your fellow 

3/B 

student, Keira, is none other than Dr. South, the distinguished professor in energy studies at Oceanion University! She’s your classmate, and in the future, if you have technical questions, you can ask her for 

assistance!” 

After that, he looked at Keira. “Keira, if your classmates come to you, don’t be haughty!” 

Instant silence fell upon the entire room. 

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief as they turned to 

Keira. 

If they could still argue that Charles might have been deceived by her, Professor Miller was the dean authority within the college! His words couldn’ possibly be false!! 

The crowd quickly came to their senses. 

The rest of the students were quite direct and immediately apologized to Keira. 

“Keira, I’m really sorry. We truly didn’t realize…” 

“Yes, yes, please forgive us for our rudeness just now. It’s just that it was really beyond our wildest thoughts!”

“Keira, I just followed others blindly. Please don’t tak 

it to heart…” 

Everyone immediately gathered around Keira to apologize. They all worked in new energy, so who would dare to offend Dr. South, the big shot? 

Keira was quick to let it go and raised her wine glass. 

“No worries.” 

Then she drank half a glass, exuding an air of magnanimity that seemed to dissolve all past grievances with a smile. 

Everyone put their apologies into their drinks, and with a toast to Keira, that matter was put behind them 

Only Erin stood there, dazed, watching Keira and Charles in disbelief. She had been blinded by jealous just moments before but now finally realized what w happening. 

It turned out that Charles was so polite to Keira 

because she was his boss. 

But Erin knew that her sour and sharp attitude had been witnessed by Charles, and he would never pay her any attention again. Like just now, he couldn’t

even 

bother to glance at her 

She was secretly in love with him for four years. Things 

had just started getting hopeful, but that hope now suddenly vanished… 

Isla also lowered her eyes in resentment. 

She knew that once Keira’s status as Dr. South was 

revealed, the focus of everyone would shift to her! And indeed, it had! 

Isla bit her lip and glanced at Jake before suddenly standing up with a smile. “Professor, I have some good news to report. Jake and I are married!” 

With those words, everyone’s attention did indeed 

turn back to her. 

“Congratulations!” 

“That was fast, have you had the wedding feast? Remember to invite us when the time comes. We’re all 

classmates after all!” 

“Yes, yes, let us also witness an upper-class wedding! Marrying into wealth really is different. The two of you getting married must be a match made in heaven!” 

“My goodness, you guys are so early, so fast. You must

be the first among our classmates to get married, right?” 

Erin’s gaze shifted between Keira and Isla, and suddenly she said, “Isla, you really are lucky, marrying Mr. Horton and becoming a wealthy wife. No matter how capable some people are, what of it? In the end, they still have to fight on their own, and who knows which man will benefit from that in the future! So, you see, no matter how successful your career is, it’s not as good as marrying well!” 

Upon hearing this, Isla felt much more satisfied. 

Marrying Jake was indeed the matter she was most proud of! 

She said with a smile, “You can’t really say that though Not only is Keira successful in her career, but she also got married the earliest among our classmates because she registered even earlier than me, right after graduation!” 

“What?” 

The crowd was even more astonished and turned to Keira all at once. “Dr. South, you’re married too? It must be to some big industry leader, right?” 

“Yeah, yeah, who is your husband? Why not bring him along sometime and let us meet him?” 

Keira looked down and said something polite. “Next time, I’ll introduce him to everyone.” 

“There’s no need for next time.” Isla suddenly smirked and raised her phone. “He’s already here, about to 

enter. Keira, I was the one who called him over. You wouldn’t blame me, would you?” 

Keira was perplexed. 

Meanwhile, Lewis was at the door of the private room 

and heard this sentence.
