Chapter 542
"Have you received an invitation?" Alexi asked suddenly.
Jack was stunned momentarily before he answered, "No. I'm still studying at the university, so I don't think they'll send me an invite."
Furthermore, it was a little known fact that Jack was the founder and president of Genesis. It was only natural that he wouldn't receive an invitation.
Alexi's eyes widened, and he shook his head vigorously. "How can this be? Genesis has been doing so well, so you should definitely be considered the cream of the crop amongst the Alnewgo University alumni.
"I'll give a call to Mr. Tripp. If you step into the spotlight, the other students of Alnewgo University will look to you as their role model. You're the pride of the university after all!"
Alexi's tone suggested that he was dead serious. Being able to lead a company that was worth billions of dollars while still being a university student was no simple feat. It was undoubtedly a great honor, and Jack would become the new standard of success for the new generation of Alnewgo University students.
Promoting Jack's successes was something that the university should seriously consider. When compared to other prestigious universities such as Fullerton University, it would also bring in a large amount of capital.
However, Jack hurriedly waved his hands to reject Alexi's offer. "There's no need for you to do that. I'm not all that interested in the celebration."
Jack vastly preferred to keep a low profile while he worked. He didn't want to be exposed under a spotlight. Becoming a public figure would no doubt put a target on his back. Jack had learned his lesson the hard way after what happened to him while he was at Drakengard Games.
Seeing how vehemently Jack was rejecting his offer, Alexi had no choice but to acquiesce to his wishes. Alexi didn't quite understand Jack's line of thinking. In his eyes, Alnewgo University would be proud to have an alumni as outstanding as Jack. Thus, Alexi still decided to inform George of Jack's achievements of his own accord.
A black Volkswagen Phaeton was stopped in front of Alnewgo University's female dormitory. Bella's face was streaked with tears as she stood with Clarice at the entrance. The rightful source is fındnovel.net
Looking at Bella's pleading face, Clarice felt her heart waver a little. However, when she thought about how she was taking action for Bella's future, she steeled her determination once more. Clarice didn't want Bella to repeat the mistakes she had made in her youth.
Too many young women were willing to give up their material wants for the sake of love. However, once they were older, they would regret it when they were forced to live an uncomfortable life. There were no time machines in the world, so it would be much too late to regret their choices by then.
Clarice thought of herself as a wise person. She believed that Bella would understand her intentions and thank her one day. As for Jack, while it cannot be denied that he had some talent, it was also common for a talented person to be buried by society.
It took a keen eye to discover a diamond in the rough. The unpolished diamond would remain worthless if it wasn't discovered by the right person, and what society lacked the most weren't the diamonds, but the discoverers.
Clarice was unwilling to risk Bella's future. She hoped to nurture Bella, so she could live a wonderful life in the future.
Bella's future husband should be a wealthy man who had a good family background and an excellent education. He should be someone who was able to stand by her side as they lived an elegant life. He should also be able to withstand her stubbornness and extravagant spending habits. He shouldn't be someone who needed to work himself to the bone just to survive.
"Mom, can you please give me one more day?" Bella's sorrowful eyes were filled with pleading.
However, Clarice was not moved and shook her head. "I've already made an appointment with Faith Chesterson of Montclair Conservatory. She will interview you personally, so we have to leave tomorrow afternoon."
The truth was that the supposed interview was just an act. Even if Bella had no professional experience in the field of music, Clarice would do everything in her power to ensure that she was able to transfer schools.
Furthermore, Bella was an outstanding student, which made Clarice immensely proud of her. It made Clarice even more determined to thoroughly sever the relationship between Jack and Bella.
