The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 154: Face-Slapping

At this mont, around Burt Chambers, a group of young boys gathered, their eyes fixed on Paige Sterling, discussing topics all about her.

"I told you long ago, my goddess isn’t that kind of person. Those trolls online called a moron, haha, they’re the real morons..."

"My goddess is truly perfect, flawless..."

"Those guys were trembling at the sight of my goddess’s legs. Her aura is truly formidable."

Seeing Burt Chambers remain expressionless and silent, one of the boys nudged him and asked, "Burt Chambers, does your cousin take on any followers?"

His little followers instantly beca hardcore fans of Paige, exhausting Burt Chambers, who didn’t feel like talking.

"Brother Burt, if you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as agreent."

Burt Chambers asked blankly, "Agree to what?"

"Agree to switching allegiance. From now on, we’re all Paige’s followers. You don’t mind, right?"

Damn, I mind imnsely.

"I..." Then, they simply didn’t give Burt Chambers a chance to object.

"Okay, I know you don’t mind. You admire Paige deeply inside, we understand. Let’s go find Paige now!"

Before Burt Chambers could respond, they dashed off first.

Burt Chambers watched in shock as each one ran to Paige, acting shy and asking for autographs and photos like timid sheep.

Burt Chambers’s expression could hardly be described as just ’green.’

He walked over stiffly, intending to bring his misguided followers back.

Just as he arrived, he overheard the boys showering Paige with praises before nervously asking if they could follow her from now on.

This age group of boys were still in their adolescent phase, believing whoever was formidable, they wanted to follow.

Paige’s mouth twitched; she wasn’t too keen on playing with a group of young kids.

"You guys have a good eye."

The young boys were excited, "So Paige, are you accepting us?"

Burt Chambers glared at Paige nacingly, if Paige dared to agree, he’d... he’d...

Let go of these followers...

But then Paige shook her head, "Being my followers needs a threshold, have you guys..."

Paige glanced over, "Passed your finals?"

The boys, "..."

One boy excitedly stood up, "I passed, I passed, I passed one subject..."

Everyone else, "..."

Paige, "Then go back and talk when you’ve passed your finals. Having followers who can’t even pass exams is embarrassing for to ntion."

After saying this, she turned to leave, then paused to add, "By the way, brush up on your studies with Five Three when you’re free, and quit the gang activities."

The group of boys instantly straightened up, standing tall, "Okay Paige! We’ll go buy Five Three and revise!"

They were so obedient, far more than when Burt Chambers instructed them to do things.

Burt Chambers exhaustedly realized all his followers had beco nurtured by Paige.

At a party, he beca a lonely, snowy youth.

Skylar Hughes was quietly staying in the most unnoticed corner of the party, silently, with no one to talk to her.

But then, Mona Wright ca over.

She sat down beside Skylar Hughes, saying, "I know you’re not that kind of person, those girls talked nonsense. They frad you to clean themselves, shaless, don’t bother with such people in the future..."

Skylar Hughes lowered her head slightly, "But everyone doesn’t believe , they all think I’m out to harm Paige."

"I believe you." Mona Wright said, "I know you’re kind-hearted, they just don’t know you."

Skylar Hughes was deeply moved, hugging Mona Wright.

At that ti, not far from them, there were people discussing Paige’s investnt matters, saying she founded Penson without asking her father, Jared Sullivan, for a penny.

Mona Wright was curious, "Is it really her own investnt? Completely unrelated to the Sterling Family?"

How could Paige accomplish such a thing? It was simply inconceivable.

Skylar Hughes said, "On the surface, that’s how it looks, but who knows? Have you ever seen a father not praise his children publicly?"

To highlight Paige’s achievents, of course they would claim he never helped her, it’s all due to her own efforts.

"But I’ve heard many people say Paige didn’t ask her dad for money, even if she did, it must not be much, as the company shareholders are all from the circle. They all say Paige secured the investnt herself..."

Skylar Hughes clenched her hand slightly, how did Paige secure those investnts?

Without that face and Jared’s connections, could she get investnts?

But Skylar wouldn’t say that out loud.

She rely smiled, "Who knows? She just fiddled through college for a diploma, barely attended school, always mixed in the entertainnt industry, speaking hesitant English. Even I didn’t know she had such great skills, securing investnt, running a company, even doing research herself..."

Which ans Paige doesn’t actually have any real capabilities.

Mona Wright completely agreed.

However, the face-slapping ca quickly.

Suddenly, several foreigners appeared at the party, from different countries, speaking different languages.

Everyone assud they ca due to Jared Sullivan’s influence, likely people who had collaborated with him.

But to everyone’s surprise, these foreigners, upon seeing Paige, their eyes lit up, imdiately approached her enthusiastically, wanting to shake her hand and hug her.

All of which Julian Hawthorne promptly intercepted.

Then, those foreigners excitedly started jabbering with Paige.

Skylar Hughes smirked.

See, foreigners greeting Paige, she’s going to embarrass herself.

But to Skylar’s surprise, Paige spoke foreign languages fluently.

She smoothly conversed with the foreigners in multiple languages, switching back and forth flawlessly.

Jared Sullivan was proud, starting to boast.

"See, my daughter, self-taught in nine languages, isn’t she remarkable?"

People nearby, "..." Exhausted, they glared at their sons intensely.

How can you be so useless?

Can’t compare with The Hawthorne Family’s son, now even falling short of the Sterling Family’s daughter?

It’s too embarrassing.

Son, "..." Is this my fault?

They’re clearly extraordinary, can you bla ?

At this mont, Jared Sullivan noticed several journalists huddled in a corner, lacking their usual excitent upon discovering a scoop, smiled and walked over, just in ti to catch them whispering amongst themselves.

"Darn it, no one told she was the Sterling Family’s daughter. If I’d known, wild horses couldn’t make write that!"

"What do we do? Will Jared Sullivan detain us today and kill us in a fit of rage?"

"We’re screwed, I’m an only child, if I die, what will happen to my parents?"

"And what is Paige doing, keeping her wealthy heiress status so low-key? It makes it tough for us trying to earn a living."

Jared Sullivan’s cold voice rang out.

"From what I’m hearing, you’re saying my daughter’s to bla for catching onto stories to write randomly?"

Upon hearing this voice, the journalists’ spines began to tingle as they turned stiffly, indeed seeing Jared Sullivan standing behind them.

"No no no, President Sterling, it’s our fault, our fault, we lack professionalism, don’t worry, we’ll definitely release a statent of apology when we return!"

Jared Sullivan acknowledged with a nod, "Do you know what you should write in the future?"

"We know, we know, we’ll make sure to seek truth wisely, report seriously! Positively promoting Penson’s optimistic and upbeat image! To restore Miss Sterling’s reputation!"
