A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 821

After witnessing how fierce Jack had been earlier, the other juniors at the table kept their distance. No one dared to provoke him now for fear of getting slapped in the face.

Not far away, conversation had picked up again at Samantha's table.

Lillian spoke up with a dramatic sigh, "Knox has been slipping a bit in his studies. He nearly failed one of his courses. The president of Lightfield University even called Augustine directly, asking him to keep a closer eye on Knox.

"But what can we do? He's been so busy lately with the company's listing process. It's hard to juggle everything. That said, the fact that the university president even reached out shows how much faith they have in Knox. They really believe he has a bright future."

She then looked at everyone else proudly. It was no secret Lillian carried herself with extra confidence because of Knox. He was only twenty and had significant achievements. Knox was a rising star in the Lycan family, handpicked as one of the next generation leaders. How could Lillian not be proud?

Josie retorted, "Galileo is doing well too. His grades might not be perfect, but he's the class monitor. Mom, do you think maybe my brother could reach out to the president of Tarrington University or Lightfield University?

"Galileo's scores aren't quite there, but they do have independent admissions, right? He's so talented, especially in art. I think he'd be a great fit for the Art Academy at Lightfield."

She looked eagerly at Samantha, clearly hoping to win her support.

Samantha pondered for a moment, then replied coolly, "Have Galileo focus on his college entrance exams and not rely on shortcuts. I'll speak to your brother about it, but whether the president of Lightfield University takes my request seriously is another matter."

"Thank you, Mom. Once Galileo succeeds, he'll be sure to show his gratitude," Josie said, her face lighting up with joy.

Given her age, Samantha desired little more than to see her children and grandchildren thrive, becoming pillars of the nation. That would be her greatest joy.

After all, the prosperity of a family ultimately depends on its descendants. No matter how grand the tree was, if no one took care of it, it would eventually wither.

Lillian quickly interjected, "Mom, please don't say such things. You and Dad are both blessed with longevity; how can you speak of such inauspicious matters?"

Samantha's heart swelled with happiness at Lillian's sweet words. She went on to praise her.
