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 couldn’t 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 didn’t speak, Charles immediately understood. 

Dr. South had kept her information so confidential because she didn’t 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 moment’s peace. 

He coughed and frowned, saying, “Is Dr. South’s

business something you can inquire about? Honestly, I just met Dr. South in person today myself!” 

That’s how cheeky boys often talked, and it sparked laughter among the crowd. 

“Right, right, we’re 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, it’s 

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 – it’s ridiculous!” 

“Same with us, but I don’t indulge them. I’m a graduate of Oceanion University, so why should I do menial tasks for them? They don’t 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 didn’t 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 we’re feasting in such a fancy hotel, and 

it’s all thanks to Mr. Horton!” 

“I hesitated at the door and hardly dared to come in. 

It’s so luxurious – how much would a meal here cost?” 

“You don’t know? This hotel is owned by the Horton family. Mr. Horton is treating us to dinner, and it probably doesn’t 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, “What’s everyone talking about?” 

“Hey, aren’t we just discussing work? It’s 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 doesn’t know that the Horton Group only hires masters and doctoral graduates? We’re only 

undergraduates. Even if we got in through your 

connections we would only amharrage von if we can’t 

do the job well!” 

“Hahaha, we don’t want to struggle at the Horton Group. There’s no way we can keep up!” 

While everyone was laughing, Erin shifted her glance and suddenly said, “Speaking of which, there’s actually someone among us who hasn’t 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 Isla’s expressions stiffen momentarily. 

Give Keira a job at the Horton Group? 

5/9 

Dr. South didn’t 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 couldn’t listen to this anymore. “Erin, what’s 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?” 

Charles’s 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 time’s sake!
