Bonnie knitted her eyebrows slightly when she heard Avril’s panicked voice.
"What happened?"
Ivor, listening nearby, leaned in to hear as well.
"It's..." Avril was so anxious that she couldn't get the words out at first. After a few seconds, she found her voice again. "Mr. Ivor was rushed to the hospital as a result of saving you during the ribbon-cutting event, right? Well, some students recorded it and uploaded the videos online.
“Everyone thought Mr. Ivor's reaction was very unusual, so they dug into your identity. They even found the old engagement videos of you and Mr. Ivor, and people started guessing. Eventually, they deduced that you are Mrs. Ivor Knight..."
She paused, her tone becoming more complex. "In short, people are arguing back and forth online. It's a huge mess, and I can't fully explain it. You should check it out yourself."
"Got it," Bonnie replied. "I'll look into it right now."
Avril nodded. "I'll get some friends to help control the narrative and see if we can manage it."
"Thanks," Bonnie said, feeling a sudden warmth in her chest.
"You're making me feel awkward," Avril said, scratching the back of her head. "We're friends. It's what I should do. Why be so formal?"
