A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 798

"Oh, I see." Magdalene nodded in response to Jack's explanation.

A moment passed before her eyes flashed. She slapped Jack hard across his shoulder and was all smiles when she said, "You had us fooled from the start, you rascal! I knew there was no way that you could win Bella over with just some morning glories.

"Lo and behold—turns out you were acquainted with Bella from the very beginning. Ah, but it's a shame that Montclair's campus queen was 'conquered' by you just like that. You should treat us to a meal when the time comes!"

"Of course," Jack agreed easily. "Are you here to watch the speech too?"

"That's right! Why else would I be here if not for the speech? It's not as if I'm the one who's going to go on stage to give the speech, right? I mean, I would love to, but I don't have the right to do that just yet.

"Have you ever thought about just how cool and awesome the founder of Genesis Games is? His games are popular all over the world!"

Magdalene was wearing a satisfied expression as she chattered on and on. She was even fantasizing about the appearance of Genesis Games' founder in her heart.

Just then, the doors to the grand hall swung open slowly, and the students began to pour into the hall. Jack glanced at the time and realized that he needed to take his leave.

He said to Cynthia and Magdalene, "The two of you can go in first. I have something I need to do."

After all, he was one of the guests of the event. He needed to have some makeup on for him to look presentable for the audience.

Magdalene nodded and said, "Hurry along then! Don't forget that you owe us a meal, handsome. I won't forgive you if you forget!"

"I would never!"

Jack headed backstage when he was done speaking to them.

Meanwhile, Bethany and Francesca were sipping on some drinks as they sauntered along the hallway on their way toward the grand hall. Bethany was holding a fashion magazine in her hand while Francesca was swiveling her head around, hoping to spot someone handsome.

Suddenly, Francesca elbowed Bethany and exclaimed, "Bethany, look! Isn't that Bella's loser boyfriend? What is he doing here?"

"No, I'm not."

Jack was about to elaborate that he was actually the speaker when the students cut him off, saying, "This is backstage, and we're in the midst of some important preparations. Please leave at once and do not disrupt our work."

Meanwhile, Tobias had heard Jack's voice, and he quickly craned his neck to verify if it was really him. His eyes brightened when his gaze landed on Jack. "Mr. Holland, you're finally here! Let's hurry! Everyone is waiting for you to get you ready for the interview!"

Tobias then ran out to usher Jack backstage personally. The school administrator had heard how Tobias addressed Jack and instantly knew that the star of the event had arrived. He approached Jack hastily and offered his hand to Jack for a handshake.

"Mr. Holland, it's nice to meet you. I'm one of the teachers here at Montclair. My name is Marty Williamson. I've been an admirer of your work for such a long time. The games that you created are just so wonderful! Here, let me introduce the members of 'High Heavens' to you."

The "High Heavens" members were all handsome and carried themselves with a boyish demeanor. They were also obviously skilled at what they do, which made sense as to why they had so many fans.

When they came face to face with Jack, they greeted him modestly. He could also see the surprise and awe that swirled in their eyes.
