Maeve only learned she had won first place in the Intelligent Competition from an overseas call from Mr. Sterling.
Parker Sterling was incredibly satisfied with this result.
The two smart products Maeve had developed were not only trending domestically.
Many foreign experts were also digging around for the personal information of this young woman.
But Parker had used his connections to block them all.
A super talent like Maeve absolutely could not be poached by foreign interest groups.
Just as she ended the call with Sterling, Maeve received a text from Naomi Lowell: *Stay off the internet for a few days. The virtual world is a mess.*
Maeve sent back a teasing emoji.
Then, she opened the trending list.
Sure enough, her name hung right at the top spot.
Aside from the two matches she participated in yesterday becoming massive viral events,
The false report that she was dating the captain of Team MRX, Connor, had become everyone's favorite gossip.
Silas Thorne's fans were truly terrifying.
Under one trending post, they frantically spammed screenshots of their interactions during the match.
It had been a completely normal conversation, but in the eyes of the fans, every single movement was filled with sexual tension.
His fans were usually incredibly strict with their idol, barely allowing him the slightest hint of a scandal.
But this time, they were actually throwing their full support behind the pair.
The comments under the post were flooded with wishes for a long, happy marriage and kids.
And just like that, the pairing was treated as a proven fact.
Seeing the public opinion spiraling out of control, Silas promptly issued a clarification on his personal account.
*As an ancestral member of Team MRX, BDR has only two identities to me: my idol and my bro. Shipping me with my bro is just asking for trouble.*
With his intervention, the rumors of them being a couple were instantly crushed.
Though the fans harbored some regrets, they had no choice but to accept reality.
"With scandal after scandal being exposed, it's caused massive public outrage."
"Aethelburg University's Twitter mentions are practically smoking right now, with everyone demanding to know when they're going to expel her."
"The backlash this time is huge, and the administration simply can't keep it under wraps."
"To quell the public's fury, the school board unanimously decided to suspend Anya for the foreseeable future."
"Once the internal investigation concludes, they'll decide on her final punishment."
"Oh, right. The student union member who helped her pull those stunts got penalized too."
Elena flashed Maeve a conspiratorial smile.
"After this storm, it's going to be damn near impossible for Anya to ever bounce back."
As the two girls whispered, they spotted a haggard-looking Anya walking toward them, clutching a cardboard box.
The box was filled with her personal belongings.
In the distance, people continuously muttered about her in hushed tones.
