Chapter 467

Jack decided to head home for the summer.

After this break, Joanne would be entering her final year of high school, and she needed someone to help her with her studies. As a former top scorer in the state, Jack planned to personally tutor her, hoping to help her get into a good university.

Wesley and Eddie had also returned home, as had many of their classmates. Rumor had it that Cynthia was planning to organize a class reunion over the

summer.

Leo also called Jack to say he might be spending part of the summer in Perthter City due to his father's job transfer. He wanted to hang out with Jack while he was there. Leo had become one of Jack's most devoted followers, proud to call himself Jack's lackey and always ready to follow his lead.

Eddie had returned home earlier than Jack and Wesley. These days, Eddie had become more refined, his glasses thicker than before.

Over the past two years, he had been studying medicine under a well-known mentor, living a fulfilling and happy life. Moreover, he had started dating a nursing student-a sweet and lively girl. Get full chapters from find[ɴ]ovel.net

However, the most talked-about figure this summer was undoubtedly Feena. The fantasy drama she had starred in had taken the country by storm, racking up an astonishing 500 million views on streaming platforms and rapidly closing in on a billion. Thanks to the show's success, Feena had become an overnight sensation.

What made her rise even more remarkable was that, despite playing the female lead's supporting role, her standout performance had overshadowed the lead actress, making her the show's breakout star.

Feena was constantly in the headlines, and her popularity was skyrocketing. Even Helena was a fan of the drama. She spread the news to their neighbors that Feena, the rising star, was from Perthter City.

The revelation caused a stir in the old district of Perthter City. People couldn't stop talking about how their humble neighborhood had produced not only a state top scorer but also a big-name celebrity. Feena had undoubtedly brought pride to the community.

Though her parents were wealthy business owners living in a luxurious villa, her grandparents still resided in the old district's slum area. Feena's father had tried to convince them to move, but the elderly couple was too attached to their familiar surroundings and the close-knit community to leave.

Feena was often seen zipping through the narrow alleys on her bicycle or glimpsed through the windows of a sleek Mercedes-Benz.

Many had long predicted that Feena would soar like a golden phoenix, far beyond the confines of their small Perthter City. But no one expected it to happen so quickly! Yet, it only proved the foresight of the neighbors who had always believed in her potential.

Feena had become the benchmark among her peers-someone to chase and surpass. When she was accepted into the prestigious Eirene Music Academy, many thought that with enough hard work, they might one day catch up or even surpass her. At least, it had seemed within reach.

While they were still figuring out how to get into a better university or striving to become class representatives or student council members, Feena had already left them in the dust. She had become a nationwide sensation, a rising star in the entertainment industry.

For many girls who had once looked up to her as a role model, this was devastating. No matter how hard they worked, they could never hope to reach the heights Feena had achieved.

In stark contrast to Feena's meteoric rise, Jack seemed to have faded into the background. Though he was still the same man who had once brought glory to Perthter City as the top scorer in the state's college entrance exams, two years had passed since then.

The buzz around Jack's achievement had cooled. Occasionally, he'd run into familiar faces in the neighborhoods who would greet him with a warm, teasing remark.

They'd say, "Hey, our top scorer is back!"
