After leaving the restaurant together, Victoria and Louis got into the car.Louis secured his seatbelt and turned to look at Victoria. "Tomorrow, you'll be representing the graduating students. Prepare a speech."Louis paused. "If they don't want to collaborate with us, then that's that. Everyone saw how talented you are. They know it's Fortuna's loss. Brighton will only get better with time. Are you in a bad mood because you lost money from the bets?"Yves had started a betting game. A lot of people from Youngville participated.Before placing their bets, a few people reached out to Louis to get to know Brighton's situation.Louis believed it had something to do with Victoria. He also received a call from his friend two days ago. They informed him Benjamin had placed a billion-dollar bet on Brighton losing."I can help you settle the bets. It's still a manageable amount for me. Cheer up a bit."Victoria folded her arms. Her expression did not change. "That's not the reason. You

Yves noticed Victoria and Benjamin looking at him, so he waved his hand excitedly. "Ben, Mrs. B, look here. Look here, everyone!"Smile. That's right, smile. Ben, widen your smile. Never mind. It looks too strained. Look at Mrs. B. Show me more emotions. That's right. That's it. Perfect!"Yves had changed his seat. He sat beside Jayce today.Jayce looked at Benjamin standing next to Victoria. Then, he looked at the excited Yves. He could not take it anymore. "Who are you calling Mrs. B? Have you had enough yet? There are so many people here. Although you're not embarrassed, Victoria might feel embarrassed."Yves looked at the fuming Jayce with no intention to back down. "She permitted me to call her Mrs. B. She's fine with it, so how is it your problem? You're just jealous of Ben. There's no use in being jealous. Mrs. B is loyal to Ben. Other than Ben, she won't spare anyone else a glance."Once Yves finished speaking, he made a face.Jayce was furious.At 11:00 pm last nigh

Luna had just returned. She watched as Mary rushed up the stage like a madwoman.All the reporters followed Mary and headed up onto the stage. However, their cameras were aimed at Victoria.They looked like hungry predators zeroing in on their prey.Luna remembered running into a worried Yves. She laughed out loud in joy.She snapped a video of the situation and sent it to Sienna.Sienna would be happy when she saw it. She would be proud of her.Luna smiled as she returned to her seat.Benjamin turned to look at her.It was just a simple glance.Luna was a little nervous. She felt like he knew something.When she recalled Benjamin's relationship with Yves, her smile froze. She suddenly became anxious.Jayce noticed that something was wrong. He also turned around and looked at Luna's nervous expression. He had an ominous feeling. "Where have you been?""I was using the restroom. Why?"Jayce remained silent as he looked at her. He did not look like he believed her.Luna see

One by one, Brighton's students rose to their feet.Everyone clapped with all their might as their eyes brimmed with tears.Just moments ago, they thought they would be scorned for being students of Brighton. They had hated Brighton with every fiber of their being.But now, they found hope in Victoria's words.Slowly, others stood with them.The thunderous applause was even louder hanthan the one Victoria received when she had won against Fortuna as Brighton's representative.Benjamin looked at the woman on stage.Dressed in Brighton's uniform, she stood tall. Her eyes shone with determination, and her smile was gentle and confident.Victoria was enthrallingly beautiful.She was more captivating than any other person Benjamin had ever seen.Every word she said was powerful.Even without an amplifier, her voice echoed across the stadium.How could such a woman exist?She was flawless.The more Benjamin got to know her, the more he fell for her.

Everyone from Fortuna left.Jayce looked at Victoria with teary eyes. "Vic, you're just the same as before. As long as you want something, you'll do anything to achieve it. No one can stop you."His gaze was full of hurt and grievance. "We've been friends for so long. I made no promises, and we even fought over this. But you know me well enough to know I'll agree with what you want, even if I'm unwilling."You know I'll agree to let Fortuna collaborate with Brighton. If you're adamant about not returning to Yrindale, I wouldn't force you to get onto the airplane either."Victoria sat down. "I'll always fight to get what I want. You have your opinions, and I have mine.""So, are we enemies now? Are you giving up on Fortuna for Brighton?" Jayce questioned. "Fortuna is the result of all your hard work. Don't you have any remorse?"If Fortuna is so unimportant to you that it can be sacrificed so easily, why did you try so hard to convince my father and the others to join Fortuna? If
