A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 824

Samantha had set high standards for Jack, but was convinced he couldn't meet them. Over time, her disappointment turned into contempt for him.

To her, he was a gem meant to shine, but he'd been wasted. The thought made her angry.

Still, she was a little surprised Jack had gotten into Alnewgo University. At the very least, it proved he wasn't lacking in talent and lived up to the Lycan family bloodline. After all, if he had been in the capital, his grades would have easily secured him a spot at the elite universities.

But then she thought of the cocky way he had acted, the ruthless way he'd hit Galileo. It made her wonder if he was someone she could count on after all.

Lillian, who knew Jack had been the top scholar in the state, sighed at how easily Josie had fallen into the trap.

To spare her further embarrassment, she tugged at her sleeve and whispered. "Stop. Her son was... the top scholar in the state."

Josie's expression changed. "W-What? The top scholar?"
