When Sophia reached the campus, she saw Sarah and Sean walking toward her. Almost every day, the duo came to the campus together because they seemed to be neighbors.
“Sofie, come and take a look at the latest magazine! There’s a surprise inside!”
Sarah brought Sophia to the campus’s most crowded newspaper stand. There, the magazines that defamed Stanley had been removed and were replaced by a new edition of esports magazines. Coincidentally, Stanley was on the covers too.
This time, the magazines were full of Stanley’s well-groomed photos instead of candid shots. As usual, Stanley was in his punk style. He looked attractive in the professionally shot and slightly edited photos.
Oh dear. This guy is actually so capable, Sophia thought. Not only was he the worthiest esports player in Cethos, but he was also very famous in the international esports industry. Previously, he even led a team of Cethonian online gamers and defeated every foreign team in an international esports tournament, winning themselves the first place.
The British prince has asked for his guidance; the Swedish princess has tried courting him; the President has brought him on a state visit because he’s the most outstanding teen in Cethos…
“I’ve never thought that Stan is so talented!” Sarah exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Sophia also seemed to be impressed by Stanley because she had been regarding him as a nerd. It seemed like all the Fletchers were indeed extraordinary.
They walked to the basketball court while chatting.
After reaching the place and changing her clothes, Sophia began warming up and focused on the competition later.
The match was between the School of Economics and Business Administration and the School of Financial Management.
Since the School of Financial Management was full of rich, good-looking people, they had more fans in comparison to the School of Economics and Business Administration.
Richard was here too. When he reached the court, he walked to Sophia while smiling politely. “Sophia, I’m here to support you.”
He thought he was treating Sophia generously and kindly since he purposely didn’t bring Xyla along with him. In response, Sophia smiled, but she was cut short from her speech because somebody suddenly put his hand on her shoulder, and a deep voice could be heard behind her.
“Thank you!” Stanley showed up and held Sophia’s shoulder as he said mockingly, “Sophia has enough cheerleaders for today, so I don’t think she’ll need her ex. You’re an eyesore.”
His words made Sophia roll her eyes because she had no idea why Stanley kept treating her ex meanly.
For her, she had always chosen to ignore the Harpers to prevent them from having the idea that she wanted to rely on them.
In contrast to Richard, who was alone, there were a lot of men standing behind Stanley now. Aside from Nathan, Gary, and Hale, there were also a few men whom Sophia did not recognize, and even a few Caucasians.
“Sophia, come here! Let me introduce them to you.” Deliberately, Stanley started introducing his friends before Richard.
“Here’s my eldest disciple, Kevin. He’s the youngest prince of the British monarchy and the eighth in line to the throne.”
Then, he turned to another guy. “This is my second disciple, Wilhelm. He’s from the Swedish royal family.”
Pointing to yet another guy, he said, “He’s my friend, Shiloh, and he’s the heir of the largest tribe in Africa.”
As the humiliated Stanley was provoked, he asked his friends to come here to put Richard to shame.
Bayside University was never lacking international students because a lot of politicians and successful entrepreneurs sent their children here. Although Richard had thought about gaining their support, he had no ways to approach them.
Little did he know that Stanley could casually ask so many of them out.
