How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 189

Alexander was an alumnus of Global Horizons University. As an honored graduate, he had been invited back to give a speech to the soon-to-be graduates of the senior class.

Coincidentally, VistaLink Technologies' new project was about to launch, and this phase required attracting investors. The university event would draw plenty of influential figures from the investment world—a perfect opportunity for publicity and funding.

As a main force behind the project, Elodie would, of course, accompany Alexander.

Global Horizons University was the top-ranked international school in Eldermere, a place where every student was either wealthy or well-connected. Elodie hadn't graduated from here herself, but she'd visited twice—for Octavia's parent-teacher conferences.

Alexander's car rolled through the grand gates of the campus. As they stepped out, clusters of seniors were already heading into the auditorium.

Alexander, renowned in the aerospace field, hadn't even closed the car door before people approached, eager to exchange pleasantries.

Elodie stood quietly to the side. She was just about to climb the steps when—

"Elodie?" Octavia spotted her from across the courtyard and ran over, surprise written all over her face. "What are you doing here?"

Elodie turned, her expression cool and silent.

Octavia, clearly annoyed, stamped her foot. "Why did you come to my school? Go home! Don't embarrass me, okay? Don't you know today's full of important people? Why are you even here?"

She sounded almost desperate.

Today, it wasn't just influential professionals who'd been invited; the school had also asked students' families to attend.

What did Elodie have to show for herself? No fancy degrees, no impressive skills—just a life spent managing a household. If anyone asked, Octavia hated having to admit Elodie was her brother's wife.

Her brother had promised her he'd bring Sylvie, not Elodie, so she'd have someone more presentable at her side.

"Octavia, do you know her? Who is she?" A nearby classmate approached, curiosity piqued.

Octavia pressed her lips together, then blurted, "…our housekeeper."

Her friend blinked in surprise. "Your housekeeper is gorgeous."

Face tight, Octavia grabbed her friend's arm and hurried away, not caring to explain a thing. The entire encounter lasted less than a minute.
