A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 793

Jack's identity and background became a hot topic of discussion. Some guessed that he was actually a rich heir that kept a low profile, his father being a high-ranking official in one of the big conglomerates in Zargonia.

Some guessed that he was a simple construction worker, just as the article reported. They even claimed to have seen him at the construction site. They said that he was able to move 10 bricks up three floors in one go without breaking a sweat.

There were also rumors about how he was a student at Alnewgo University. It was said that he was the top scholar during one of the college entrance exams, but nobody could prove the validity of these rumors.

However, the one thing that everyone was certain about was how Hugo, who was a legendary existence in his own right in Lightfield University, had been defeated by a mere ordinary man. His humiliation dealt a heavy blow to the students of Lightfield while also starting up a fierce discussion among them regarding the event that had transpired.

The incident caused a stir in the students because it was just like a television drama. The tall, rich, and handsome man had not only failed to win the heart of the woman he had his sights on, but he had also been defeated by an unknown character that popped out of nowhere.

Even if the story was eventually forgotten in the future, it would be the hottest topic for the younger students to discuss for the time being. After all, it wasn't a common occurrence for the ordinary man to win the heart of the woman and also emerge victorious against his tall, rich, and handsome rival.

While the different school forums buzzed with activity as everyone wanted to express their opinion on the incident, the two main characters of the incident—Bella and Jack, had already left together.

A new topic of discussion emerged as the students began to guess what had happened after they left. Many assumed that Bella would spend the night with Jack. After all, what else would a man and a woman do when they were left alone?

This assumption broke the hearts of countless heartthrobs from Montclair and talented men from Lightfield. They refused to accept that the goddess in their hearts would have her purity defiled by a mere construction worker.

Since Cynthia was Jack's schoolmate during high school, the students determined that she must have some insider information. They then surrounded her and tried to pry the information out of her.

Aside from Magdalene, who was also part of the women that surrounded Cynthia, the rest of the female students interrogated Cynthia for any juicy gossip they could get their hands on.

"How could Bella's taste in men be so bad?" Trixie sighed. "Why would she fall in love with someone like him? In my opinion, Hugo is leagues better than him."

Although Jack was a student of Alnewgo University and had been the top scholar of the province once, Hugo was also an excellent student of Lightfield University. Not only that, but he also had a wealthy family background and was dashingly handsome. Hugo was also the leader of Lightfield's folk band, and he was the ace player in Lightfield's soccer and basketball clubs respectively.

If they were to compare Hugo and Jack's academic prowess, they might be evenly matched. But when it concerned his family background and wealth, Hugo was far superior to Jack. The man that Bella had given her affections to paled in comparison to Hugo.

"Actually, I think that Cynthia's schoolmate is quite hot," Magdalene chimed in suddenly. "He's actually my type!"

After interacting with Jack a few times, Magdalene had developed a good impression of him that had continued to improve after the last stunt he pulled to capture Bella's attention. He knew that it was impossible, but he had still been so determined to pursue Bella. His perseverance had successfully changed Magdalene's opinion of him.
