The Return Of the Invincible Heiress
Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Chapter 175

The entire auditorium was in an uproar. Even Joy looked at Avery in surprise at her answer. After a few seconds, the host asked in disbelief, "Did you... compose it alone?" Avery was not offended by this seemingly impolite question. She smiled and answered, "Yes." There was a short silence. The host eventually gave Avery a thumbs up. "That’s very impressive."

No matter what, the audience consisted of students from a famous university. Even if they had never learned the piano, they still had basic aesthetic standards. They could tell how good "Song from Eleavens" was. Someone remarked, "Oh my god. She wrote such an imposing, imaginative, and philosophical piece? How talented, professional, and imaginative must she be?" Another said, "This original composition is better than the works of countless professional music composers. It’s amazing! Why would such a talent go into aerospace instead of learning music?" A girl commented, "I’m seriously amazed. It’s been many years since I’ve heard such a great original piano piece."

A professor from the music major also looked impressed. "Joy’s skills are better, but Avery played an original work. That’s even rarer." All the judges nodded in agreement with his evaluation. Then, they whispered to each other and discussed how to evaluate Joy and Avery. The host was also very smart. Realizing it was very difficult for the judges to make a decision immediately, she asked, "Joy, Avery, why did you choose your respective majors when you came to Rosemont University? What are your dreams?"

Joy said, "Although I grew up overseas, my mother was born in Osceiton. I was influenced by her and love and yearn for the history and culture of my country. Rosemont University’s history department is the best in the country. I especially admire the archaeologist, Mr. Franco Xander. I hope to work hard so I can become his student and follow him everywhere to learn more about Osceiton’s most mysterious and ancient culture with my own eyes."

"Well said!" There was enthusiastic applause from below the stage as everyone praised, "Although she was born and raised overseas, as well as studied there, she did not forget her homeland. It’s remarkable she still acknowledges herself as someone from Osceiton." When the applause ended, someone asked, "Who is Mr. Xander? Is he very famous? Why haven’t we heard of him?" Immediately, a history student replied, "Mr. Xander is the leading figure in archaeology. His identity is unknown, but he’s very likely the only human on this planet who can decipher prehistoric civilization and prehistoric codes." Another explained, "He’s also the most mysterious archaeologist who ever existed. He rarely shows up. He would appear occasionally on the Internet but would cover himself up so tightly that even his face couldn’t be seen. I don’t know if I’ll be able to see him in person before I graduate." Someone else added, "He’s an honorary professor in our faculty, and also our idol. However, he rarely comes to school. If you want to see him, it’s like playing a lottery. It depends on your luck."

When the others heard this, they clicked their tongues. "Looks like there are hidden experts in your faculty." The history major students were very proud. "Of course. Otherwise, why would the goddess take a fancy to our department?"

On stage, the host was already asking Avery, "Avery, what about you?" Everyone lowered their voices and pricked up their ears, afraid to miss a word. Avery smiled and said seriously, "I want to build a spaceship that can fly out of the solar system, pass through wormholes, and undergo interstellar travel." Everyone was shocked. The entire auditorium fell silent. They stared at Avery, dumbfounded, wondering if she was joking. But Avery was serious. Although her smile was faint, her eyes shone with enthusiasm and yearning for her goal, as well as confidence. For a moment, almost everyone wondered if Avery was a genius or a lunatic. Joy looked at Avery in surprise again, her gaze scrutinizing.

On the right side of the third row on the first floor of the auditorium, Louis adjusted his glasses and said with mixed feelings, "What great ambition. I don’t even dare to comment on it." Alexander had been staring at Avery. His eyes were also filled with amazement. Hearing Louis’ words, he lowered his eyes slightly and smiled. "That’s right. Even I can never imagine that." He paused before continuing, "If it were anyone else, I would think they were dreaming. But when it comes from Miss Carter, it feels like nothing is impossible." Louis turned his head and looked at his boss in horror. He thought, *’Mr. Moran is more or less crazy, but isn’t this going too far?’* Similarly, Louis did not dare to comment on Alexander’s statement.

On the stage, the host was stunned for several seconds before she reacted and revealed an unnatural smile. "That is indeed a very amazing dream. No wonder you chose the Aerospace major." "It’s not a dream," Avery explained seriously, "It’s a goal." The host, as well as all the teachers and students, fell into stunned silence. Only the students from the Aerospace major were cheering and clapping. Jan also applauded. He looked at Avery with respect. "As expected of a goddess. She wants to fly into the sky."

The host soon ended this intense interview. She looked below the stage and announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the judges’ results are out. I’ll announce the winners now." The venue regained its clamor and focused on the results. As expected, both Joy and Avery won first prize. This was the first time two first prizes were awarded. Joy and Avery did not seem dissatisfied with each other’s award. They took the award certificates and prize money together and smiled at the camera like ordinary and peaceful classmates.

Louis suddenly discovered something. His lenses flashed as his eyes flickered. "Mr. Moran, take a closer look. Does that Joy look similar to Miss Carter?" He paused for a moment and observed carefully. "They are almost identical in height and size. Their facial features are also quite similar." Joy was wearing a monocle and exquisite makeup. She also had bangs and shoulder-length curly hair, so her facial features were not completely revealed. If one did not look carefully, it would be difficult to notice that her facial features were somewhat similar to Avery’s. Alexander’s gaze swept past Joy indifferently. "A little, but she’s not as beautiful as Miss Carter." Louis secretly rolled his eyes.

On stage, Joy and Avery reacted very calmly to the awards they received. They thanked the judges and left the stage. One walked to the left while the other headed to the right. Avery received a large bouquet of roses as soon as she arrived backstage. Although there were many flowers backstage, a small portion was decorations. Most were gifts from others, and a huge proportion were roses. Avery received a bouquet of very rare, extremely beautiful, and elegant light green roses. It instantly attracted everyone’s envy and exclamation. The girl in charge of delivering the flowers said nervously, "M-Miss Carter, right? These are from Mr. Moran. He said your performance was wonderful, and he will never forget it."
