A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 517

Samuel was still reeling from the shock of the auction earlier. The bids that jumped by millions, even tens of millions of dollars, culminated in astronomical figures. The state-owned enterprises and giants like Pentime Group were also involved.

It all felt like a door had been opened to a world he'd never dared to imagine. A world of glitz and grandeur that seemed light-years away from his reality.

But instead of answering Samuel's question directly, Jack turned it around.

"Would you be willing to join Haven? There'll be a lot of tedious work at the start, both technical and managerial. Moreover, your finance background might not be directly useful here."

"I'm in," Samuel replied without hesitation, nodding firmly.

Back at school, Samuel secretly searched online for more information about Haven, particularly its social platform, Haven Connect. After a while, he quietly closed his laptop.

Now he understood why Mona's friends had been so excited to get Jack's autograph and why they'd been over the moon when they did.

After reading Haven's mission and promising future, Samuel felt a wave of emotions he couldn't quite put into words. It was hard to believe that his roommate, someone who'd started from almost the same place as him, could become such a legendary figure.

Meanwhile, Bella had also returned to campus. She'd spent the entire summer at the Montclair Conservatory honing her skills. She came back looking more radiant than ever.

Two months without seeing Jack had left her missing him terribly.

However, Clarice had driven her back to school in their Volkswagen Phaeton, and Bella felt too awkward to contact Jack in front of her.

By the time they arrived, it was a little past five in the afternoon. Clarice suggested they have dinner together.

Truth be told, Bella had always wanted to attend the Montclair Conservatory, but her mom, an alumna of Alnewgo University, had pushed her to enroll in its music school instead.

Still, the two months at the conservatory had sharpened her skills and elevated her charisma.

Clarice looked at Bella, a flicker of doubt crossing her mind. Maybe she'd made the wrong decision back then. But there was still time to make up for it.

She smiled, placing a piece of food on Bella's plate.

"I've heard your skills are great. I think you need a bigger stage to showcase your talent."

Bella blinked, unsure what Clarice meant by that.
