The lights at the basketball court were bright, but both Phoebe and Jack seemed to be in their own little world.
Jack replied slowly, "I'm representing the School of Finance in the basketball match today too."
After hearing that, Phoebe paused. It seemed that she was confused about the relationship between Jack and the School of Finance at Alnewgo University.
This didn't match up with what she believed in the past. No, it was impossible.
Just then, Samuel interrupted the conversation. "You didn't know, Phoebe? Jack is representing our School of Finance in this match. Although Alnewgo University isn't as good as the top two universities in our country, it isn't surprising that he entered our school because he's the top scholar in the state."
"Are you really studying at Alnewgo University? Are you really the top scholar in the state?"
Uncertainty filled Phoebe's voice. She appeared to be very shocked about the news.
Meanwhile, Jack smiled helplessly. "Yes. I was admitted into Alnewgo University and was the top scholar in the state."
In truth, he didn't want to mention his achievements because it was a burden to him. Jack wanted to forget about the past so he could move forward with ease.
Yet, since Samuel had already mentioned it, he didn't hide the truth any longer.
After that, Phoebe covered her mouth in shock and confusion.
Samuel and Luca leaned in, nodding as they agreed with Jack's words.
