Chapter 493


    The next morning, Sophia arrived early at university to make preparations. She had even ironed her


    school uniform the night before. These foreign guests were held in high regard by the university leaders


    and as soon as Sophia arrived, she was led into the office by the leader for their final training.


    The students were expected to be in their best state for the reception. As student representatives of


    Bayside University, they had to be extraordinary. As such, eight student representatives were selected to


    apany the guests.


    All eight had remarkable backgrounds, not to mention they were very talented and skillful. Among them


    were top students of Bayside University and also the winners of the Misty Pageant.


    After the leader’s pep talk, everyone waited in the office for the guests who would be arriving shortly.


    While waiting, Sophia asked in the game group chat, ‘What’s for dinner?’


    Stupid Dog replied, ‘Barbeque on skewers.’


    ‘Barbeque,” Sean and Imported Young Man both replied in the group chat.


    Sophia was thrilled that Linus was joining them. After all, he was knowledgeable so she might be able to


    gain some knowledge from him after dinner and a couple of drinks.


    Suddenly, Linus continued, ‘Good news is, I have decided to study at Bayside University in Cethos so


    we’ll be university mates soon.’


    While the group chat was filled with celebratoryments, Sean grimaced at the news and


    thought, Linus is going to attend Bayside University?


    In fact, Linus had graduated with a PhD in Economics and Management at the age of fourteen and


    currently had a double PhD. Now that he was going to attend Bayside University, Sean wondered if Linus


    was just seeking the thrill of beating rookies.


    Just then, Stanley said, ‘I have a match against School of Athletics this afternoon, so you have toe


    watch our game. By the way, Sophia, I think I saw Mrs. Murray at theplex building just now. She was


    ying the piano in the hall.’


    Mrs. Murray? It took a while before Sophia understood. Sheughed and typed in the group chat, ‘Ha!’


    Just then, it also dawned on Sean and Sarah, and the group chat was filled withughter. Linus was the


    only exception as he did not understand the joke. ‘Who’s Mrs. Murray?’


    Patiently, Stanley exined to Linus, ‘Nat, the one we met in our game the other day. She’s always


    harassing Taylor. Her name is Natasha Mitchell. A while ago, she imed to be Taylor Murray’s wife


    during a press conference.


    Since then, we nicknamed her “Mrs. Murray”.’ The Mitchell Family tried to cover up for Natasha, but the


    public would not forget about this “celebrity marriage” meme. Secretly, they all addressed Natasha as


    “Mrs. Murray”.


    As soon as Linus was in on the joke, heughed along with everyone else. The group chat was filled with


    emojis and it was a joyous atmosphere. There were a total of seven people in the game group chat.


    Sophia, Linus, Stanley, Sean, and Sarah were all youngsters, who had a lot ofmon topics to talk


    about.


    Not only that, they were all in the same industry so they usually would have over a hundred messages in


    a blink of an eye.


    Meanwhile, the other two older guys barely spoke in the group as they did not want to startle the youths


    and stop them from chatting in the group. Not only that, they barely had anything to chat about with the


    youngsters.


    However, Michael always read through the messages every day, even right now.


    “Everyone, please prepare to greet the guests.” Being one of the teachers that were responsible for the


    guests’ reception today, Quinton hade in to remind everyone to get ready. All at once, the student


    representatives put away their phones and left the office one by one to greet the guests.


    “Don’t be nervous, guys,” he reassured.


    When it was Sophia’s turn, Quinton even patted her shoulder. “It’s okay; don’t be nervous. The guests


    are knowledgeable inputer science. You can take this opportunity to ask for advice. You’re starting a


    business, right?”


    This was the first time Sophia had seen Quinton ever since returning from summer break. After not


    seeing each other for a few months, Quinton looked tanner and was not fair-skinned like before.


    Upon hearing this, Sophia nodded. With that, the eight outstanding student representatives and the


    school leaders had gone to greet the guests. As Sophia stood in the crowd, she saw from a distance that


    the school leader was approaching with blond-haired, blue-eyed guests in tow.


    Curiously, Sophia watched the guests who were said to be VIPs of the World’s Top 500 Company—the


    Michel Group. Sophia knew of the Michel Family, while Abel suspected that Cooper was the head of the


    n. However, it had not been confirmed yet.


    Also, Michael did not want Sophia to know the progress of his search for Cooper, and she did not know if


    his whereabouts were confirmed. If it was confirmed…


    Oh—let’s leave it to fate, Sophia thought before she started to zone out. It was only when her ssmate


    nudged her with their elbow that she came back to her senses. At that moment, she saw the guests


    approaching.


    Although Sophia could not differentiate the blonde-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, there was a person


    among the guests who looked very familiar to her. The guests were a diverse group of people. Among


    them was a blonde-haired boy, who was very attractive.


    He had elf-like features and had the appearance of a male model. When he arrived, almost everyone’s


    attention was focused on him.


    When a ray of sunlight shone on the blond boy, he looked as if he was shining brightly. It was Linus


    Michel! The Michel Family was involved inputer technology and Linus was knowledgeable in the


    same field. Could Linus be rted to the Michel Family?


    At that moment, Sophia wanted to greet Linus, but she was afraid she had the wrong person. So, she


    secretly observed him as she followed him.

    Quinton, who was the host for the reception of the foreign guests, introduced everyone to each other.


    “These are the top student representatives of our school.”


    “These are the executives from the Michel Group, one of the World’s Top 500 Companies. The Michel


    Group has donated schrships to our school worth 5 million.


    Meanwhile, Sophia was focused on the blond boy. That seems to be Linus! she thought to herself.


    Then, Quinton and the other lecturers and leaders began to take the guests on a tour around the school.


    Just then, Linus, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and winked at Sophia. Only then did


    Sophia confirm that he was indeed Linus.


    ording to their n, the student representatives each had to lead a guest; none of the guests were to


    be left alone. Upon seeing Linus, a few girls had approached him, all hoping to ‘im’ him. Honestly,


    Sophia couldn’t me them. Linus was in fact very attractive.


    Originally, Sophia had wanted to lead Linus. However, due to his poprity, there was already a queue.


    So, she went to a random older man, speaking to him in fluent English while leading said guest around


    the school. Sophia and the guest chatted as they toured around the school in a group. He was an


    executive of the Michel Group, so they were able to find amon topic and talked aboutputer


    science.


    Following the nned route, Quinton led the group on a tour to the school’sndmark buildings,


    including Lake Misty and other scenic spots. Everyone was enjoying themselves throughout the tour.


    Meanwhile, Linus spoke to the girls in the localnguage fluently, making the girls giggle.


    Finally, they reached the multipurpose building. As they were about to enter, a melodious piano sound


    could be heard. Just from listening, anyone could tell that the piano yer was an expert.


    At that moment, the guests were astonished and asked who was ying the piano. Proudly, the school


    leader introduced the person who was ying the piano; it was none other than Natasha Mitchell.


    As a matter of fact, Natasha was one of Bayside University’s top students. The foreign guests probably


    did not pay attention to their local entertainment industry gossip, so the school leader was not too


    worried about them knowing the problems Natasha had caused.


    “Natasha is one of the best students in our school. She was taught by the world-renowned piano master,


    Delca. At the age of ten, she had a solo piano recital and was already a widely recognized piano yer


    at such a young age.”
