Chapter 303
Ever since Lavinia started receiving calls from prestigious universities and major organizations, Facebook seemed to forget all about those million–dollar contracts they used to brag about. Now, it was all about showing off the kids.
In no time, almost every social circle among the wealthy and elite families knew about President Lancaster’s brilliant daughter and her equally talented niece.
While not everyone was familiar with the niece, the daughter was well–known. People couldn’t help but marvel at how the Hawke family had really shot themselves in the foot. Not only did they lose such an outstanding daughter, but they essentially lost the entire family.
Now, with Miranda’s status and achievements, families with eligible bachelors were dropping hints left and right about wanting to tie the knot with the Lancaster family. Despite the online rumors swirling about Ms. Lancaster’s involvement with Mr. Elian Ashcroft or Mr. Sebastian Everhart, she never confirmed any of them.
Some folks believed that because the Lancaster family had a good relationship with these two families, they were simply helping Ms. Lancaster out.
Anna seemed particularly interested in these matchmaking efforts. At first, she was solicitous of those who were into Miranda, playing cupid. But after Lavinia had a word with her, she stopped and just kept sighing.
As Hannah peeled an apple, she asked, “Grandma, what’s with all the sighs?”
Anna uttered wistfully, “It’s just a pity about Mira.”
Hannah perked up. “What do you mean, a pity?”
Anna let out another sigh. “It’s just a pity, so young and hasn’t had many boyfriends yet.”
Hannah was taken aback.
Anna continued, “A young woman should date around, play the field a bit, so she knows what she’s looking for in life.”
Hannah’s eyes lit up in realization. “Grandma, you’re right!”
So, did this mean she could line up the boys chasing after her and agree to date them one by one?
This one, then the next?
Anna was still caught up in her thoughts, wishing she could set up Miranda with a nice boy. Who would have thought that at such a young age of her, Elian would claim her heart.
In the debacle involving the Hawke family, many were relieved they hadn’t continued their partnerships. Thankfully, someone had warned them to back out in time, or else they might have been dragged down too.
Some even speculated that the Ashcrofts, the Lancasters, and Everharts might have foreseen the Hawke family’s downfall. Perhaps that was why they so obviously distanced themselves.
But that speculation didn’t matter anymore; the entire Hawke family was behind bars, and they had been formally charged. From now on, neither at home nor in Zephra would NeuraCore or the Hawke family be a topic of importance.
As the Hawke family faced imprisonment, the internet was ablaze with discussions, hogging the spotlight for a solid two weeks. However, the internet’s enthusiasm was fickle, and as soon as the topic was exhausted, people quickly moved on to the next big thing.
Over the period, many had ridden the wave of attention from the downfall of the Hawke family and the Zade family. Marion, in particular, was quite pleased with the growth of his various accounts and the increase in followers.
“You sure know how to ride the wave,” Miranda teased. “You’ve gobbled up all the attention lately, haven’t you?”

Marion grinned as he replied, “You don’t get it. This is the age of going viral. If you want to make money, you’ve got to catch those waves of attention. Luckily, I had them set up plenty of accounts in advance, so we were ready to scoop up the buzz at its peak. Look at this–every account has over ten thousand followers,”
