"Catie's getting a mouthful!"

"Her boyfriend's getting an even bigger one!!!"

The students watching also started to cheer and whistle.

Soon, a photo of their kiss was posted to Twitter.

#MissGonzalesMasterNinthKiss

#MasterNinth MissGonzalesWeddingSoon

Both hashtags soared to the top of the trending list.

Twitter was already full of fans who shipped the couple, and with these two trending

topics, Gordon's comment section was instantly flooded.

[Congratulations to Master Ninth, good things are on the horizon.]

[OMG, my god and goddess are finally getting together.]

[Master Ninth and Miss Gonzales are a match made in heaven.]

[They're getting hitched, they're getting hitched, my ship is finally sailing!~~] [Ahhh! So exciting!]

Raven Cartwright was in a sanatorium when she saw these trending topics. She stared down at her tablet, her face clouded with a dark expression.

Wedding soon?

How dare they!

How could this be happening?

Because of Caitlin, she had been blinded and disfigured by a Ridge Viper and was still undergoing restorative surgery. She didn't even dare to go out in the daylight.

Even the Cartwright family had lost one percent of its equity because of it.

If she hadn't taken out an insurance policy on her face, she wouldn't even have the money for the treatments.

And Caitlin...

That divorced woman was actually with Gordon.

How could Caitlin step over her to become the matriarch of the Sylvester family?

She couldn't accept it!

She was burning with resentment!

Smash!

Soon, another topic shot to the top of the trending list.

#MissGonzalesDivorced!

Someone on Twitter had suddenly revealed that Miss Gonzales, whose real name was Caitlin, had been married before.

As soon as this news broke, the fans who had been ecstatically shipping the couple were stunned.

[Fake, this has to be fake news. Miss Gonzales is only 24 this year, how could she possibly be divorced?]

[It's just someone with the same name! It has to be!]

[Uh, let me just say, this is actually true. It's practically an open secret in our circles.

I thought everyone already knew.]

[Divorced? And she wants to become the Sylvester family matriarch? In her dreams!]

[Master Ninth would never marry a divorced woman!]

[What's wrong with being divorced? Master Ninth isn't a fool, he knows she's

divorced. This just proves that he truly loves her!]

[I bet Master Ninth is already planning his proposal. He might be setting it up right

now.]

[.....]

One storm had barely passed before another began.

While the buzz about Caitlin's

divorce was still high, a video clip of

Gordon from an intervieweight

years ago was edited and posted to Twitter.

The man was turned sideways to the camera, stating each word clearly: "I don't believe in marriage."

Just five words.

The reporter pressed on, "You don't believe in marriage, Master Ninth? Are you serious?"

"You heard me correctly. I will never marry."

The moment this video was released, the comments instantly surpassed one hundred thousand.

[Hahaha, someone's about to eat their words. A proposal? Master Ninth doesn't even believe in marriage!]

[Wow! Never getting married. This is going to be interesting.]

[Freya Gonzales is so shameless. A divorced woman fantasizing about marrying Master Ninth.]

[I bet the earlier trending topics were all bought by Freya to pressure him into marriage.]

[+1 to the comment above.]

[Pressure won't work! One, Master Ninth would never marry a divorcée. Two, he doesn't believe in marriage. With that double whammy, Freya can forget about ever setting foot in the Sylvester family's door

[She's just Master Ninth's plaything.]
