The trending searches of Claudia and Mathews evaporated swiftly, with Mathews explaining the scenario with haste.

“Miss Marshall has my sincerest apologies. Her contribution was solely as a piano collaborator. I didn't expect that our meeting for the recording session would cause her so much trouble. And to all my fans, I appreciate your faith in me. Thank you!"

His public clarification soon went viral, allowing Claudia to exhale in relief.

Anyway, she was now the wife of the chairman of the Segarine Group. An online scandal would adversely impact both Bennett and the corporation!

Claudia's popularity soared even further. Given Mathews‘ immense fame and the knowledge that he was currently working on a new album, his fans were eager to discover more about Claudia, who would be serving as the pianist on his upcoming release. As a result, many of Mathews' fans began searching for information about her.

Claudia had tasted fame at the tender age of seventeen, but she remained largely under the radar. Besides her contemporaries and a few fellow pianists, her recognition was Limited.

She had never engaged in self-promotion. Out of Anthony's insistence, even her awards were kept away from the spotlight.

However, with the "scandal" surfacing, the Internet community finally discovered the magnitude of Claudia's brilliance!

“Indeed! Those collaborating with Mathews are extraordinary! I suggest you all Google Claudia. You'll be astounded at her prowess. Rumors are tedious."

“I hope Claudia, the extraordinary pianist, gains more recognition! I've been her fan for half a decade! I'm sure she wouldn't stoop low."

“She clinched the prestigious International Lierina Award last year! She's phenomenal! Many of you are obliviously unaware!"

Despite her prowess as a pianist, Claudia wasn't a part of the showbiz world. Consequently, the buzz around her faded soon.

Amidst this, she received offers from entertainment agencies to branch out into their domain, which she politely declined.

Claudia's newfound popularity rekindled netizens’ scorn towards Anthony and Delilah.

Fed up with their incessant bickering, she put down her phone and planned to take a nap.

Just as she heaved herself from the wheelchair onto the bed, her phone buzzed abruptly.

She was caught off guard. Hastily, she ditched her shoes and grabbed the phone from the bedside table.

Upon noticing Bennett's incoming voice call, she hesitated but eventually picked up.

“Yes?"

“Dinner tonight."

It didn't sound promising.

As Claudia was gearing up to decline, he interjected, "To save my image."

“Fine. Anything else?”

Claudia was still angry from the day's proceedings!
