Chapter 94: Chapter 94
Someone greeted Mia Redgrave, and she responded appropriately, treating him as she would with Leo Lynch, as if Leo were just an ordinary classmate.
Everyone had arrived.
The lights in the audience slowly dimmed, leaving only the stage lights on.
A spotlight hit the edge of the stage as Jonathan Redgrave slowly walked to the podium at the center, his face full of confidence, as if he had already secured the position he wanted.
Thunderous applause erupted as Jonathan Redgrave cleared his throat to begin his speech.
He had given too many speeches, and they had already become second nature to him.
The live broadcast officially began.
Jonathan Redgrave’s humor and directness won him wave after wave of applause.
Jonathan Redgrave was extremely pleased with the reception, and after half an hour, he concluded, "Z Nation is a world power, and you, you are the hope of that power!"
Thunderous applause followed.
Mia Redgrave’s face also showed excitement and pride.
"Mona, do you think we should let everyone know about us?"
It was now the student interaction time with Jonathan Redgrave, and he quietly asked Mia Redgrave.
What he really wanted to ask was why she didn’t clarify their relationship in public, allowing rumors about her and Ethan Sterling to be exaggerated.
"I want everyone to know you’re my girlfriend, and not always linked to Ethan Sterling in people’s mouths," said Leo Lynch.
"Can you not talk about this? We already decided to talk about it after graduation," Mia Redgrave replied softly.
"Alright, I want to listen to my father’s speech. Let’s talk about this after the speech is over."
Mia Redgrave casually made up an excuse, but still wore a sweet smile.
She didn’t want to confirm her relationship with Leo Lynch in front of everyone so quickly. Even if she couldn’t reach Ethan Sterling, as long as her father got promoted, she could marry into a better family.
"I’ve always been working for the welfare of college students. Only when you can study without worries does the country have the ability to develop continuously, so subsidies for college students are necessary."
Jonathan Redgrave said thus.
A councilman must learn to paint a rosy picture, regardless of feasibility.
The students, unaware of such tactics, immediately got excited.
The reporter looked at the students below and smiled with satisfaction, "Any more questions?"
In fact, both the questions and the students were pre-arranged to ensure his speech went flawlessly.
Jonathan Redgrave looked at the students in the hall when suddenly a cold voice echoed through the hall, "I have something to say."
It was a young girl’s voice.
Indifferent and with a hint of mockery.
Everyone couldn’t help but search for the owner of this voice but didn’t know where to look.
After a few minutes, they finally saw a girl in white standing at the back of the audience. Because there was no light in the audience, they couldn’t see her face clearly.
Amidst everyone’s whispers, the girl moved.
She descended from one tier to the next until she stood in the light.
She wore casual clothes, her hair casually tied high, exuding a pure beauty mixed with a touch of heroism. She held a silver microphone in her hand and slowly walked to the front of the stage.
It was actually Seraphina Redgrave!
Mia Redgrave could not utter a word, completely losing her ability to react.
Jonathan Redgrave looked displeased and glanced at the staff.
How did Seraphina manage to speak? Her microphone wasn’t the black one provided by them.
The staff knew nothing and could only frown and shake their heads at Jonathan Redgrave.
Seraphina wasn’t up to anything good, for sure.
But Jonathan Redgrave had to maintain decorum and subtly signaled the staff to cut off the microphones before speaking, "You may speak."
"Councilman Redgrave, your speech deeply moved me, but I still want to clearly understand your thoughts. As a good councilman, you should..."
Seraphina’s voice abruptly cut off, leaving only the sound of students discussing gossip in the hall.
"Isn’t she the transfer student from The College of Arts? She’s really attractive, very refined features, even purer than Mia."
"Ha, you didn’t see her nearly getting into a fight with Mia on her first day."
"Wow, daring to confront Mia head-on, impressive."
Everyone was watching that white-clad figure, continuously looking at her.
The staff truly did not know which microphone Seraphina was holding, and could only cut off all the mics, then signaled Jonathan Redgrave with a hand gesture.
Jonathan Redgrave breathed a sigh of relief and spoke with a smile, "Sorry, we had a microphone issue, you may sit back down now."
Once she sat down and all eyes returned to him, they would escort her out.
She better not try any antics under his watch.
Today must not have any slip-ups.
Seraphina shrugged indifferently, tossed away the microphone, and watched as it arced perfectly to the ground.
Seraphina curled her lips, looking at Jonathan Redgrave, tilting her head slightly.
In the next moment, Ronan Yates, seated beside the aisle, handed a pre-prepared megaphone to Seraphina.
Seraphina took the megaphone and smiled boldly, "I didn’t expect a place as well-equipped as Sovereign College to have such issues, but I’ve anticipated it, so needn’t trouble the staff to repair the equipment."
The megaphone’s volume was immense, from who knows where it was sourced.
Seraphina’s voice quickly spread through the area, and more than half the people could hear it clearly.
Quite a few students were simply dumbfounded.
What exactly did Seraphina intend to do?
Mia sat in her place, wanting to rush up and scratch Seraphina’s face.
Leo Lynch looked at Seraphina, also somewhat startled.
Seraphina seemed vastly different from the girl in his memory, who would become tearful and helpless when wronged. Watching her, he felt girl with aura towering at eight feet was too unfamiliar.
It was as if he didn’t recognize her at all.
Moreover, today, she clearly had come well-prepared, with intentions in mind.
Jonathan Redgrave stood on the podium, his face momentarily severe, but in just an instant, he resumed the guise of a great councilman of the people, "What did you say?" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovєlFіre.net
Pretending not to hear?
Seraphina’s smile was mocking as she stepped onto the stage.
She walked to the first row, casually dragged a chair along, and slowly dragged it up onto the stage.
She, left hand holding the megaphone, right hand dragging the chair, and no one dared to stop her.
It wasn’t until Jonathan Redgrave frantically signaled to the staff that someone realized and rushed to block Seraphina at the stage.
But Ronan Yates and his buddies, who were well-prepared, held back several staff members teasingly, "Bro, isn’t it just a female student’s question? Why so tense?"
"Let go, don’t make trouble."
Ronan Yates chuckled, "Weren’t we just advocating for student welfare? Now we’re not even allowing questions?"
Ronan Yates and his friends held back the security below the stage until they saw Seraphina up on the stage.
The students held their breath, watching Seraphina place the chair center stage.
