A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 774

The sheer prestige of being the state's top scholar was something even a fool could grasp. It meant that Jack completely outclassed everyone at the table in terms of intellect.

In other words, everyone else present was practically insignificant.

They took their seats, quietly granting him the stage to showcase his brilliance.

Even those who weren't on friendly terms with Jack watched him in stunned silence. Among these young elites were both underachievers and overachievers. To them, however, a top scholar was nothing more than a legend.

When Jack nodded in confirmation, the entire table erupted in murmurs.

Though unwilling to admit defeat, Greta's voice betrayed her insecurity. "Yeah, right! Anyone can brag! I might as well say I'm the top student at Harverd!"

However, her attempt to retort fell so flat.

By now, the commotion had drawn the attention of the next table.

At that moment, Knox's mother, Lillian Hammond, beamed with pride as she boasted about her sons' accomplishments. She spoke of how Tristan had helped Quintis manage the Sandalwood Group. Then, she lauded Knox for building his own billion-dollar company through pure talent.

Interrupted, Lillian frowned in displeasure. "What's all this noise about?"

Tatiana pointed at Jack. "He said he was the top scholar in the state on the college entrance exam. He's now studying at Alnewgo University."

Instantly, all eyes locked onto Jack, skepticism written across their faces.

Top scholar in the state? Who the hell was he?

Only then did Norman recall Jack's academic distinction and quickly rise to clarify.

"Oh, I forgot to mention—Jack here was the top scholar in his state! Now he's studying at Alnewgo University!"

The revelation sent shockwaves through the room. Everyone stared at Norman, desperate to confirm whether this was true.

The younger crowd hoped Norman was joking. If it were true, it would make their earlier mockery utterly humiliating.
