But Jack still sincerely wished Feena well, hoping her life and career would be smooth sailing.
It was already past ten at night when he got home. His mother, Helena, had prepared bathwater for him, and his younger sister, Joanne, was still in her room, diligently studying.
Seeing Jack return, Joanne put down her pen and grinned.
"Jack, why are you back so late? Were you out with Feena?"
"We talked about some things," he replied.
Her face was filled with disbelief as she leaned in mysteriously. "Jack, tell me—are you dating Feena?" she asked.
"Don't be silly. How could she possibly be interested in me? She's a big star." He laughed.
"Come on! How can you say that? You're the top scholar in the state—you're way better than you think!" Joanne winked and added, "Besides, I've noticed the way Feena looks at you when she comes to see you. Her eyes just light up. There's no way she doesn't have feelings for you."
Jack sighed at Joanne's confident speculation and helplessly patted her head. Then, he went to take a shower before bed.
The next day, after lunch, Jack rode his electric scooter, taking Joanne to Crestfield High School.
Looking at the grand entrance of Crestfield, he smiled.
Back in the day, Jack had also been a student at Crestfield. However, he was expelled just before the college entrance exams.
Eventually, he ended up at Seaton High School, where he became the top scorer in the state.
Now that his life was reaching its peak, looking back on the past filled him with mixed emotions.
As he rode his scooter to the school gate, he saw that the area was already filled with all kinds of cars.
They were even more luxurious than the cars at the last Vermilion Mountain auto show.
