A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 568

News of Jack's invitation to the university's centennial celebration spread like wildfire across the third-year dorm floors.

Classmates buzzed with theories on the reason for his invite, but most settled on it must be some colossal administrative mistake.

As the centennial approached, Phoebe gathered Jack, Wesley, Feena, and a few others for what she billed as a birthday dinner—though it felt more like an intimate gathering.

The real purpose soon became clear– this was her goodbye. Tomorrow, she'd board a flight to Vexburg to begin her studies at Brightland University.

The group toasted her future, though some of the male classmates couldn't hide their melancholy. With a woman like Phoebe, who was brilliant and radiant, leaving for foreign shores, the odds of seeing her again seemed slim.

At the table, Calista teased, "I'm so jealous! Phoebe isn't just a genius. She's the face of our university. Try not to wreck every Vexburg man's heart over there, okay?"

Phoebe flushed, her gaze briefly lingering on Jack before she pinched Calista's arm playfully.

Wesley, emboldened by alcohol, said, "Phoebe's been top of the class since middle school. Jack topped the high school exams. And Feena? Not only did she enter Alnewgo University, she's a full-blown celebrity now. Turns out I've been surrounded by legends since my school days!"

The table erupted in laughter.

While Jack acing the college entrance exam school was impressive, it paled compared to Phoebe and Feena's achievements.

Phoebe was now the university's golden child, bound for elite overseas study; Feena was a rising star with millions of fans. Jack didn't seem as impressive.
