This entire scene was clearly noticed by Morris, who lowered his head with a quiet laugh.

Cherise looked at the empty seat in the corner of the first row near the door and sat

down.

The auditorium was large, so only the teachers and guests in the front rows saw Cherise enter. They were all amazed by unfamiliar young woman.

Melissa wasn't sitting with her family, so she didn't realize it was Cherise. However, she was also impressed by Cherise's cool elegance as she entered.

But she felt quietly relieved that this person hadn't entered the entertainment business.

In the back rows, Jacob and Mandy noticed Cherise's arrival and breathed a sigh of relief.

But when they saw her sit directly with the group of teachers from Betrico University, they were angered by her ignorance and decided to hold back their comments until after the ceremony.

Jemma and Jeffrey immediately recognized Cherise and quietly whispered something into Henry's ear.

Henry looked over, eyes full of disbelief, as he realized that Jacob's daughter from a backward town had quite the charm. Joseph, who was sitting next to Melissa, recognized Cherise the moment she walked in. He looked down at his bandaged left hand, his lips curling into a mischievous smile. "That interesting woman. We've met again."

"As we all know, Marlon had practically retired before, so everyone is very excited and curious that he's attending the anniversary celebration of Betrico University today.

"So, could Marlon say a few words to us here and to those watching online?"

Marlon nodded, slowly stood up, and took the microphone handed by the host.

He said. "Hello everyone, I'm Marlon, and it's a great honor to attend the 100th anniversary celebration of Betrico University today. "The reason I attended this ceremony is firstly because I'm a graduate of Betrico University, class of 1952, and this is my alma mater.

Thirdly, Betrico University has hired an excellent professor, and today also marks her induction ceremony. I'm here to support her."

"Let's introduce the next guest, who I believe is the one everyone is most eager to see.

"Let's welcome the wealthiest man in Clusia, the CEO of the Chivers Group, Mr. Morris Chivers"

up

stood and met Cherise's eyes.

Morris gave a subtle nod and a smile that went unnoticed by me, looking at the stage.

Cherise turned away from him, a faint smile gracing her lips.

The host looked Morris, sensing an inexplicable aura of power around him. Cautiously, she asked, "Mr. Chivers, is there anything you'd like to say to everyone here?"

Morris took the microphone, his deep, magnetic voice resonating as he said, "I am very much looking forward to meeting this remarkable new professor."
