“What?!”
The students were gaping when they heard that they were more VIPS, and they all turned to Bill again.
The man felt his conscience gnawing but forced a smile and clapped while acting like he knew.
Even as it drew yet another round of gasps and worshipful stares from the other students, things were far from over.
“Now, let’s invite Robert Quill, the police commissioner of Riverton!”
“Noel York, Draconia’s top actress!”
“Kim White, head of White Enterprises!”
“Mr. Turnbull of Grande Pharma…”
As Mr. Zims continued to list the bigwigs who came, it seemed that every bigwig of any importance in Riverton was here. They were all individuals representing various industries in Riverton, high-ranking government officials, or key members of important families. Each of them could leave Riverton shaking if they stomped their feet!
In short, the convocation ceremony was basically a gathering for the rich and important!
“Shit, what the hell?!”
“Hot damn… I’ve never seen anything this impressive!”
“Who is Bill, really?”
“The president’s son, maybe?”
“It’s ridiculous!”
Even as the other students kept yapping, Bill was panicking.
His family held some degree of
importance in Riverton, but there et
was no way they commanded this much respect, and from these bigwigs at that!
Forget anyone else he could not believe it himself!
“Shit, you invited all those people? You’re amazing, Bill!” Jean exclaimed, disbelief showing all over her face.
If he really got all of them to come, he was definitely a big deal even on a national level!
On the other hand, Winter appeared
bewildered by the sight of so many bigwigs sitting on stage and was actually concerned. “Wouldn’t you be imposing, Bill?”
“Haha… Not really.” Bill smiled awkwardly.
That was when a bright laughter echoed behind Winter. “Sorry, Winter was a little late since preparations were a handfuld didn’t miss anything important, did I?”
Winter turned to find the man she missed so dearly standing there, smiling at her.
“Frank!” she exclaimed, not caring about her seat or her appearance as she lunged into his arms with a blissful smile.
“Hmph.” Bill snorted, immediately disgruntled by the sight.
He had laid out a path just to have a shot… but the man had to show up and ruin everything!
Talk about frustrating competition!
“You didn’t have to prepare anything, Frank.” Winter beamed. “I’m happy that you’ve come!”
“Now, that won’t do. This is my only sister’s convocation ceremony. It has to be a grand one.”
Frank winked and pointed at the Riverton bigwigs seated on the stage. “How about that for a surprise? Impressive, right?”
“Huh?” Winter was left stunned for a moment and turned toward Bill in confusion.
Even Jean was frowning too.
