Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 249

The host handed Sophia and Joshua a microphone. Sophia smiled and took it. “Thank you.”

When the host saw the smile in her bright eyes, she could not help whispering, “Sophia, I admire you a lot too.”

Sophia chuckled. “You saying that will put Joshua in a very awkward situation.”

The host felt embarrassed and looked at Joshua. “Of course, you're amazing too, Joshua!”

Still, I like Sophia more. How is it possible that she's so beautiful, gentle, has a pleasant voice, and is so intelligent!

The host was somewhat affected by the cheers from the students down the stage. If she were not holding a microphone and being the host, she would have already cheered for Sophia like the other students.

Wait. Why am I suddenly envying the students down there?

Despite her excitement, the host remembered her role that day, so she softly patted the microphone and said, “Ahem, everyone, I understand your excitement. I'm excited too. Just now, I whispered to Sophia that I admire her a lot, but Sophia told me that would only make Joshua feel left out. So, let's tone it down a little and not put Joshua in an awkward situation, okay?”

The host was certainly skillful in navigating on-the-spot situations like this, and she also had a great sense of humor. Before the event officially started, she had already managed to control the atmosphere.

Gradually, the audience turned silent, and the talk could finally kick off.

“I believe everyone is now aware of the alumni sitting across from me. I don't think I'll have to tell you more about the amazing stories of Sophia Yarrow and Joshua Lewis. Of course, you can always refer to the tons of posts about them that are available on our school's online forum. Still, as the host of this forum, I will have to go through the formalities. Sitting on my left, this beautiful and sweet goddess is none other than Sophia Yarrow. Sophia used to...”

After introducing Sophia, the host moved on to Joshua. “Sitting on my right, this handsome gentleman is none other than Joshua Lewis. Since his sophomore year, Joshua has been...”

A round of introductions later, the host finally went to the main topic by saying, “Joshua mentioned ladies first, so let's ask Sophia our first question, which is also the question that garnered the most votes from all students in Jadeborough University. Sophia, why did you apply for Jadeborough University with a high score of seven-hundred-and-eighty marks?”

Many speculations about the answer to this question had circulated throughout the years, but none sounded logical.

Sophia picked up the microphone and smiled. “Well, it depends if you want to hear the boring, official answer or a different answer from me.”


Before the host could say anything else, the audience immediately shouted for a different answer.

“Sophia, I'm sure you heard them, right? I'm not the one making things difficult for you.”

Truthfully, Sophia did not feel too troubled to answer this question.

It was just that she could not help feeling amazed by her courage back then, even though it had happened many years ago.

“I did that to repay a debt of gratitude. When I was fifteen, I came to Jadeborough for a competition but ran into an accident. Someone saved me,” said Sophia while holding the microphone. Her pleasant voice reverberated throughout the hall.

Sitting among the audience, Alexander felt his heart skip a beat when he heard her talking about that. All this while, he had thought she came to Jadeborough for Katherine.

He was surprised to know she had given up a better option and mustered up the courage to come to Jadeborough for him.

“I see. Sophia, may I ask if you've found the person who saved you back then?”

Sophia glanced at the host sitting across from her. “I did.”

I married him. Also, if nothing unexpected happens, I think I'll marry him for the second time.

Thinking of that, Sophia could not help lowering her head a little to chuckle.

The host did not find that strange and proceeded with the second question. It was nothing worth gossiping about as the question asked Sophia how she founded Specter Entertainment and how she became determined to invest in Technology Innovations.

That question was clearly intended to inspire and encourage the students. Sophia did not let them down with her answer either.

On the topic of Technology Innovations, Joshua certainly played a significant role.

In fact, most of the upcoming questions were handled by Joshua, whereas Sophia would occasionally chime in.

She sat there on the stage, looking rather idle.

Since she had nothing else to do, and there was a simple coffee brewing machine on the table, Sophia decided to leisurely make herself a cup of coffee.

Among the audience, Marcus laughed heartily when he saw that. “Hahaha! Sophia is an interesting person, isn't she? She's still on the stage, yet she's making herself a cup of coffee!”

Then, Marcus seemed to remember something else and glanced at Alexander next to him. “Mr. Xenos, I have to say I am glad to have Sophia as my graduate! I like her a lot! It's a pity I don't have a son, or I'll certainly make him marry her!”

Alexander raised his brows. “Sophia is truly amazing, Mr. Rubin. I understand that she's indeed worthy of your liking.”

Marcus snorted. “What a pity that somebody doesn't appreciate her the same.”

With that, Marcus shifted his gaze back to the stage as though he had not said anything.

Alexander also withdrew his gaze and looked at Sophia on the stage again.

He knew he had been too foolish, ignorant, and arrogant in the past.

Meanwhile, Joshua might usually appear cold and aloof, but he spoke with confidence and composure when answering questions related to Technology Innovations and AI development.

Forty minutes later, it was time for the audience in the hall to ask their questions to the guests. The audience was given six slots.
