Thinking about this, she smiled and looked at Cecilia, and said, �Miss Smith, I must thank you tonight.�

Cecilia was slightly taken aback, �What do you mean by that?�

�Thanks for not realizing how wonderful my husband is, and leaving him. That gave me an opportunity to be with him. You have no idea how perfect my husband is. He is so handsome and such a family man. Not only does he give me all his money, but he is also a good cook. I really am very happy!�

When she said this, she lovingly leaned on Stefan�s shoulder.

Stefan, on the other hand, sat there stiffly, with a mixed expression. He did not expect this woman to go so far, he did not know whether he should be angry or laugh.

He leaned and moved his mouth close to her ear, as if displaying their affection, but in fact, he was saying, �Take it easy. Your acting is too fake.�

Cecilia clenched her fingers a little when she saw this and failed to hide her disappointment.

Seeing this, Xavier challenged Renee. �Of course, you have to thank Cecy. Do you know who she is? If she had not given way, when will it be your turn?�

�Oh? Who is she?�

Renee was really curious about it.

�Hah, you�ll be shocked when you find out!�

Xavier said proudly, �Do you know Petersville University? Cecy studied astrophysics there, their most difficult subject. When she presented her research paper, she was even awarded the first prize in the Starburst Competition!�

�Wow, you�re really an outstanding student, Cecy!�

The crowd cast adoring glances at Cecilia. It was not that their reaction was exaggerated, but in fact, it was because it was very rare for those who were born with a silver spoon to excel in academics, so an astrophysics top student was a feat to them.

Cecilia smiled lightly and said softly, �It�s not that I am good, it�s just that I happened to pick the topic that the judges liked.�

�Don�t be so humble. You should just admit it if you are good!�

Xavier put his hands into his pockets and looked at Renee pompously, and asked, �Do you know what astrophysics is? I guess a housewife like you, who never leaves the house without her husband, must have never heard of it.�

Renee laughed and shook the orange juice in her glass, ignoring his insult.

She looked at Cecilia and asked tentatively, �Is your award�winning paper �The King of the Dome of the Sky � On the �Love and Death� of the Solar Emissive Layer and the Troposphere�?�

The smile in Cecilia�s eyes disappeared and she looked at Renee with some surprise. �That�s the one. Could it be that you�ve read it and also studied astrophysics?� JrNovels.com
