Chapter 633 The Shock That Split Ravenridge Senior High
As Jade finished speaking, Jacklyn and Melanie stood frozen, disbelief etched on their faces.
Melanie struggled the most.

In her understanding, Leander had walked away from school, academics, and the SAT. That decision meant he had shut the primary door to success. Reopening it would require climbing mountains and crossing rivers with no guarantee of return.
Victor, in her mind, represented the future-elite universities, polished credentials, the makings of a pillar of society. Compared side by side, Victor and his circle should have stood far above someone who had never even stepped into a college classroom
Yet Jade described them as ants on the ground, while Leander was portrayed as something unreachable. The distance between them seemed almost unreal.
“Jade… is he really that extraordinary p>
Melanie finally found her voice.
“He never even took the SAT. Even if he has talent and connections, are you really saying all of them combined cannot match him? Not even after ten more years p>
She needed something concrete. The difference she was hearing sounded absurd.
Jade’s expression grew solemn. “I am not exaggerating. You have no idea how high he stands p>
Victor, Shiloh, and Hendrix only knew part of the truth. To them, Leander was chairman of Jeff Enterprises and the so-called Legend of Mornwick.
Jade’s world was different.
Studying in Highcliffe had placed her near the circles where real influence flowed. In those circles, Leander’s name carried weight that shifted conversations.
He had dismantled Wave Alliance alone, forcing Rodrick to make public
concessions. The heirs of the four major elite families lowered their voices around him. Even the formidable seven Generals had bowed under pressure. The Riverstone family, once at its peak, withdrew from Highcliffe after a single command attributed to him.
Each of these events had the potential to shake the nation.
He was at the heart of all of them.
Calling him extraordinary only scratches the surface.
“Then who exactly is he?” Melanie’s earlier disbelief had vanished, replaced by deeper confusion. “If he is that powerful, what is his real identity p>
Another thought surfaced.
She wondered, if he truly is as powerful as Jade makes him sound… then who is he, really? What kind of backing does someone like that have?
And if he stands that high, why wasn’t he invited to the anniversary? Why isn’t there even a seat waiting for him?

It was almost as if Jade could read the confusion written all over her face. She gave a faint chuckle and shook her head. “You are wondering why someone like him was not formally invited p>
Melanie nodded.
Jade’s voice carried no arrogance, only blunt clarity. “Our school is simply too small. The world he moves in exists far beyond what Ravenridge can comprehend p>
Melanie fell silent.
When she first enrolled, she had felt immense pride in attending a century-old institution. She had admired its top students and imagined carving her own name into its history.
Now she realized that the school she revered might not even measure the scale of Leander’s existence. The thought unsettled her, forcing her to reconsider everything she once admired and the kind of person who could stand beyond those very standards.
Beside her, Jacklyn remained speechless.
The memory of that afternoon at the internet cafe came back to her with vivid clarity-the moment she casually asked to borrow his ID, just as she would with any other senior. Although the scene played again in her mind, it didn’t feel the same anymore.
Back then, she genuinely thought he was merely a fallen figure from Ravenridge Senior High-someone who had once caused a stir but had since faded into obscurity. She even tried to “help” him more than once, convinced he needed saving.
The realization now felt almost embarrassing.
Nothing had collapsed or disappeared. He was just standing somewhere outside her view. The so-called fallen senior was actually the most concealed-so far above others that even Victor and Shiloh could only look up to him from below.
Her father’s long-standing advice drifted back to her. “Stay close to the most successful person in the room. That’s how you rise p>
The thought lingered heavily in her chest. If that’s true, could he be the most successful person I’ve ever met?
Five minutes remained before the ceremony.
Students flooded into the auditorium. Thousands of bright faces filled the space, voices blending into a low hum.
Victor and the other two had regained their composure and returned to their seats. Whatever Leander had become, they were still honored alums today. Showing any sign of weakness was not an option.
They forced themselves not to dwell on comparisons. Measuring oneself against something untouchable invited only bitterness.
Melanie and Jacklyn had logistics duties, yet they quietly handed responsibilities to other council members. They stayed near Jade, pressing her for more details.
Jade chose not to elaborate further. Leander’s identity and standing were too powerful and delicate. She worried that mentioning him casually could bring danger to herself.
As the two girls stayed close to Jade, a burst of exclamations erupted in the auditorium. Amidst the increasing commotion, words like “ex-campus belles” and “pretty girls” drifted through the crowd. The male students, in particular, became restless, as if suddenly excited.

Victor and the others instinctively turned as well. Every gaze in the hall shifted
toward the entrance.
Two striking figures were walking in with effortless grace.
They were Yvette and Ginny.

Once hailed as two of Ravenridge’s legendary three belles, their presence had once dominated the campus. Together with Madeline, they had reigned over the school for three years. Admirers followed them from freshman year through graduation. Wherever they appeared, attention followed.
Now two of the three had returned.
A buzz rippled through the crowd.
Then, almost abruptly, the noise dissolved.
The auditorium fell into a strange stillness, so quiet that even the faintest sound
seemed amplified.
All eyes locked onto the entrance.
More precisely, onto the young man walking between them.
He wore simple, casual clothes. Each of the former belles held one of his arms, guiding him into the hall as if escorting someone important.
Jealousy flared visibly among the male students. Many stared, eyes reddened, envy written plainly across their faces. To be flanked by the two former campus queens, treated with such closeness, was a fantasy countless boys had once entertained. Yet the young man at the center appeared calm, almost detached.
A faint trace of reluctance lingered on his face, as though the attention meant little to
him.
“Are you satisfied now? Can you let go p>
He lifted his hands slightly, resignation in his tone.
“I did not even want to come. You dragged me here. The place is packed-do you
really think this looks appropriate p>
Yvette and Melanie tightened their grip. “If we let go, you will disappear p>
He offered no reply, only a helpless shake of his head.
Recognition spread as they moved deeper into the hall.
One voice rang out from the crowd.
“Wait… that’s Leander Ashcroft p>
The name ignited a memory.
Students who had been stunned into silence slowly regained their awareness. Memories from more than a year earlier resurfaced- the effortless confidence, the dazzling presence on stage that had once left the entire school speechless.
In their minds, the image from the past slowly blended with the man standing before them. The overlap became unmistakable.

Within moments, the students alike burst into thunderous cheers, the sound
sweeping through the hall like a tidal wave.
“Leander p>
The chant swelled, echoing across the auditorium like the arrival of a global icon.
In that instant, Ravenridge Senior High erupted into chaos.
