Chapter 164

Jason stood proudly at the podium, delivering his speech with the charisma of a seasoned orator. Below the stage, Estrella’s face was alight with a beaming smile, her clapping so vigorous that her hands turned a bright shade of red. She was bursting with pride. After all, that was her man up there.

“Estrella, you and Jason seem to be doing great these days,” Jesse whispered, sliding into the seat next to her with a knowing grin.

Estrella simply smiled back and said, “We’re hanging in there.”

Estrella remained calm and composed, without much emotional fluctuation.

Once the student representatives and school officials concluded their speeches, the crowd dispersed for some free-time revelry across the campus.

Every nook and cranny boasted festive decorations for the centennial celebration, with banners and streamers fluttering in the breeze. The quad and surrounding streets were lined with food stalls reminiscent of a bustling county fair.

The main event space, where the school’s officials and special guests gravitated, was alive with excitement, with Jason and his peers at the heart of it all.

Besides anniversary celebrations, there were also charity events scheduled for that day. Whether it was Jason, Grayson, or Estrella, everyone showed their support, contributing to the school’s future prosperity.

The school officials, beaming at the sight of generous donations, could hardly contain their joy, knowing next year’s research funds were more than secured.
