Chapter 77

This gala attracted considerable attention due to its star-studded lineup. Although no one recognized Raven or the girl, people love gossip, and the incident quickly gained traction. When it became known that Matteo "rescued" Raven, the video's popularity skyrocketed.

[Wow, this handsome guy really is the genius entrepreneur, Matteo Wilson?]

[Wait, the news only mentioned that Matteo Wilson came from a prestigious family and founded several companies at a young age, but no one told me he was this handsome!]

[Well, what can you do? He's low-key; that's why we've only heard of him and never seen him!]

After understanding the video's context, netizens speculated:

[So, did this girl catch her fiancé cheating with Mr. Wilson's girlfriend?]

[I know the girl's fiancé. He's quite good-looking and from a decent family, but compared to Mr. Wilson… well, that's a whole different league. We're talking about Matteo Wilson! Even their looks and presence aren't on the same level!]

As the buzz intensified, some of Raven's fans recognized her.

[She's 25 and already holds a PhD from a top-3 university in the world. She's also a race car driver, an adventurer, and a hacker… My god, her resume—this is the main character from a female-led novel come to life!]

[I heard last time when Raven went racing, Matteo went to support her too. Did you see the way he looked at her? His eyes were full of admiration and pride!]

[Saw it, saw it! Hehe, looking at Raven's resume, and then at Mr. Wilson… They're totally a perfect match! I envy them so much!]

[So, does this mean Raven is going to flirt with the girl's fiancé even with a boyfriend like Matteo? Impossible, right? She's not blind!]

[In the video, the girl's fiancé went over to greet Raven. I think she was just worried about her boyfriend, which is understandable, but she shouldn't have started a fight and thrown wine at someone! That was a bit much, don't you think?]

[Exactly! Sometimes, being too charming isn't a good thing. Look at Raven—her charm caused this whole mess. Hahaha.]

At this point, Freya stopped watching and closed the webpage. Grandma Wilson had said she would contact Matteo to pick her up from the hot spring resort. But it was already past 10 PM, and Matteo hadn't called her once, let alone come to pick her up. While it was possible he planned to come, the situation with Raven might have caused him to detour and forget about Freya.

Freya didn't dwell on it, and after getting home at 11 PM, she showered and went straight to bed. She slept soundly through the night. The next morning, after waking up and having breakfast, Freya left for work as usual. At lunch, while eating, she received a call from Isabella. This was the first time Isabella had called her since sneaking away from the hot spring resort. Freya answered.

"Mom…"

"Mm." Freya replied, then asked, "Did you have lunch?"

"I just finished eating!"

That morning at the hot spring resort, Isabella had received a call from Aunt Raven, saying her dad had gone out with her and asking if Isabella wanted to join them. She immediately agreed. And while Freya wasn't looking, Isabella secretly slipped away.

They had a great time and didn't return to the city until yesterday afternoon. But they didn't go home last night. This morning, when she returned to school, Isabella thought of Freya and felt a little guilty. She worried her mom might be angry, so she decided to call her.
