The centennial celebration ceremony for Betrico University was held at the university’s grand auditorium.
The auditorium was majestic and spacious, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of students, faculty, and several hundred guests.
The ceremony was live–streamed, allowing online viewers to catch the event’s excitement anytime.
[This is the first time I’ve seen so many big shots together–Mr. Chivers, Marlon, Mike, and behind them, Melissa, along with elite figures and entrepreneurs from Betrico.]
[Are they still waiting for someone? There are less than 5 minutes until the ceremony begins. But I have to admit, Mr. Chivers looks amazing.
Trent glanced at the door again, looking slightly disappointed as he walked back to his seat and sat down.
Marlon, sitting nearby, whispered softly, “Since she promised, she’ll definitely come. Don’t worry. Only then did Trent nod.
Truman was sitting in the row behind Morris, leaning over his shoulder to whisper, Trent seems a bit anxious. What’s up with that? Looks like he’s waiting for someone.”
Morris glanced over at Trent, not interested, and went back to scrolling through his phone. He thought. It’s been an hour and a half since Cherise last replied to my texts.
Jacob, sitting in the rows behind the guest seats, looked just as anxious. “This Cherise, she’s clearly not coming, just wants to go against me.”
Mandy, sitting beside him, tried to comfort him in a kindly tone Honey, let’s wait a bit longer. After all, she’s never been to Betrico University
Jacob shook his head and sighed. He said, “You don’t understand. Do you see Mr. Moraros in the front row? He’s from HomeBase Estates.
“I’ve heard he knows ‘Duskson. I’d like to get an introduction through him. I don’t want my family’s business to suffer while I’m in charge.”
Mandy’s eyes widened and she asked, “Honey, what are you planning?”
Jacob nodded and said, “Mr. Moraros’s wife passed away recently, I want to introduce Cherise to him.
“Firstly, becoming in–laws would make business dealings smoother, and secondly, Cherise isn’t very educated and has been living in a backward town for years.
“Marrying him would be a blessing for her; she wouldn’t have to worry about living expenses for the rest of her life
Hearing this, Mandy felt secretly pleased. She thought, “Who would’ve thought that Claire’s daughter would end up marrying a divorced man in his forties or fifties? It’s exhilarating news
Cherise, driving her Panamera into the Betrico University campus at that moment, had no idea that plans had already been made for her by others,
Inside the auditorium, the entire school was eagerly waiting for the ceremony to begin, but it seemed they were still waiting for a guest to arrive.
The next moment, a tall figure entered through the auditorium doors. Trent, Marlon, and Mike immediately stood up excitedly and looked over.

However, it wasn’t the person they were expecting; it was Joseph
Wearing a sapphire blue suit, he appeared strong and stylish, with the suit’s sharp lines and cuts hiding the fact that he was missing an arm.
As soon as he entered, he caught everyone’s attention.
“Who is that? He looks really handsome, with a kind of devilish charm, like a knock–off version of Morris
“I know who he is–he’s Morris’s half–brother, Joseph, CEO of the Regalflow Group. Back in the day, he was one of the standout figures at Betrico University”
Joseph walked to the front row and greeted several of the senior members. Then, he walked up to Morris and said, “Ms, I’m here.”
Morris lifted his gaze, glanced at the bandaged left hand, and coldly said, “If you don’t want to lose your left hand too, stay away from me.” Then he went back to staring at his WhatsApp chat screen.
Joseph smirked coldly, walked to his seat in the third row, and sat down. Right next to him was Melissa.
The ceremony host came over again to confirm the start time with Trent, who kept saying, “Wait a little Jonger,” before sending the host away.
In the auditorium, people started whispering. “Only 2 minutes left. Why does it seem like the dean isn’t ready to start?” Morris seemed a bit impatient as he sat there. Just as he was about to stand up, the front doors of the auditorium opened once more, and a graceful figure entered against the light.
