After all, the representative from the school in front of him had already taken the championship.

Now that he was a junior, there was no reason he wouldn’t win.

Homer had never once considered they might lose to Northland University.

He greeted the representative of Eldercrown University cheerfully. “You must be exhausted. Great job. I’m sure you won again this time. Come on, dinner’s on me.”

The representative looked completely defeated.

“We lost to Northland University. What’s there to celebrate?”

He thought Homer was really unreliable.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have shown up this late.

He didn’t even know the rankings yet and was already talking about buying dinner.

His biggest mistake was failing to recruit Larissa into Eldercrown University.

Homer froze. The smile on his face stiffened, and his eyes widened. “What did you say? We lost to Northland University? That can’t be right!”

The Eldercrown representative sighed.

“It was Larissa Sowle. She’s incredibly strong. Her knowledge base and her arguments went far beyond anything we expected.

“No wonder she got a perfect score on the SAT.

“I can’t complain about losing.

“Mr. Lane, you really need to take responsibility. Our university is stronger than Northland University in almost every way, yet they still managed to recruit her.

“That’s on you.”

The Eldercrown representative kept going.

“See the man on the stage?

“That’s the rumored CEO of Robinett Group. He sat next to Larissa the whole time during the exchange.

“He also sponsored the event.

“There’s prize money and a research grant. He’s extremely wealthy and doesn’t mind spending money on Larissa.

“All that funding and prestige should’ve belonged to Eldercrown University.

“Because you dragged your feet and arrived too late, it all went to Northland University.”

The more she spoke, the more Homer regretted it.

“Next time, no matter how big or small the competition is, I’ll personally ask Larissa to participate.”

As Larissa walked, she kept feeling a gloomy stare fixed on her from behind.

She didn’t even bother turning around. Because at Northland University, aside from Alex, she didn’t know anyone else.

Alex had been smiling all afternoon.

He hadn’t been this happy in years.

He felt incredibly grateful that he had made that trip to Marcrest to invite Larissa to become a nominal student at Northland University.

He really had great judgment.

Today, Northland University got famous-and landed investment from Robinett Group.

“Mr. Robinett, perfect timing. It’s dinner time. Dinner’s on me.”

Then he looked at Larissa. “Ms. Sowle, help me persuade Mr. Robinett.”
