Bella blushed. However, Jack receiving praise from her friends still stirred a sweet feeling in her heart, even though she was no longer dating Jack.
Bella felt grim at the thought of this. Tears almost welled up in her eyes.
On the other hand, Francesca turned her gaze toward her and said with a bright smile, "Bella, tell us how we should punish you. I can't believe you didn't tell us how influential your boyfriend was! I wish you had told us."
Bella was too embarrassed to tell them that she was only finding out about Jack now, let alone that they were no longer a couple. However, she was proud of Jack from the bottom of her heart, so she said gently, "You can do anything to me as long as you don't badmouth Jack in any way. Tell me what you want!"
"Hmph! We haven't found a way to punish you yet, Bella, but you should mentally prepare yourself. We won't let you off so easily for having such an amazing boyfriend! You will definitely pay for it—that's for sure!"
Bella nodded with a smile. "Sure!"
After readily answering them, Bella's gaze silently fell on Jack.
At this moment, she only had eyes for him.
Looking at Jack, an indescribable wave of regret overwhelmed Bella.
Without Bethany and Francesca's call, she would have missed Jack's wonderful moment.
If she had really missed it, Bella would have been filled with many regrets because she had always desired to witness Jack's brightest moment in his life. Fortunately, time was on her side. The moment she stepped foot into the conference hall, she witnessed every ounce of Jack's exceptional charm.
However, good times always passed by too quickly.
Before she knew it, the talk had come to an end.
As the event came to a close, eager students swarmed the stage, seizing the rare opportunity to interact with the newly risen young entrepreneur. It was a moment many of them had dreamed of.
