The Inescapable Celibate Heir Chapter 192: Preliminary Round Advancement

The next afternoon, MoonLight Company officially announced its rebranding to Moon Company and released a promotional video across major platforms. 

The video ended with the reveal of their custom logos, a total of 16, which they had obtained overnight approval from their global elite members to showcase. 

Diana's logo was featured first because she was their top VIP. 

Additionally, David had long been a significant shareholder in Moon Company, second only to the founders. This is why Moon Company took his requests so seriously.

Soon, customers following Moon Company learned that spending a million dollars in a single purchase could make them an elite member, granting them the privilege of having a custom logo designed just for them. 

This promotion attracted even more wealthy individuals to become elite members, proving to be highly effective marketing. 

Students at Nexus College, with their fast internet, quickly shared the promotional video on the school forum. Now, no one would doubt that Victoria's clothes were authentic. 

However, the timing of Moon Company's swift response to the doubts about Victoria seemed too coincidental. Could it be that Victoria's family owned Moon Company? 

But the founders of Moon Company were publicly known, and none had the surname Hamilton.

In class, students whispered among themselves, and many sneaked glances at Victoria. 

They now believed that Victoria's family must be discreetly wealthy, far richer than Ella's. 

Despite the school year having started for several days, Ella had only worn one outfit from Moon's brand, and it was a regular version, not a high-end custom piece, and certainly not with a custom logo. 

Ella liked to flaunt her wealth, often showing off in front of everyone, while Victoria was more low-key. This was why people had previously believed Ella's claims and misunderstood Victoria's background.

Ella was shocked when she saw the post, realizing that "MoonLight" was now "Moon." 

In her previous life, by the time she knew about the Moon brand, it had been renamed for a long time, and no one called it by its old name anymore. 

If she had known earlier, she would have bought many "MoonLight" clothes during her trip to Zantria. 

Unfortunately, Moon Company was now so popular that buying even one piece required a premium and a wait. She felt regretful but also smugly glanced at Jasmine. 

Jasmine had mentioned that MoonLight Company had once approached her mother, Jessica, for an endorsement, but she had turned it down. 

Jessica's judgment was poor; she would surely regret rejecting what became the top fashion brand. 

Jessica was already past her prime, so what good resources could Jasmine have?

Jasmine looked back at her, puzzled. "Ella, why are you suddenly smiling at me? Do I have something on my face?"

Ella shook her head and handed Jasmine her phone with the forum video. 

After watching the promotional video, Jasmine shrugged and said, "I always knew Victoria's family wasn't broke. Your info was way off." 

She then thought about Samuel, who was related to Victoria. If she could marry him, becoming Moon Company's top VIP would be a piece of cake. 

Unfortunately, Victoria had ruined that for her, and she was determined to find a way to get back at Victoria.

The weekend marked the start of the "Glory" game league preliminaries. 

To avoid disrupting students' studies, the matches were scheduled for the weekend. 

Due to the high number of participating teams, the preliminaries were held within each college. 

Sunhaven had twenty-three colleges participating, with varying numbers of teams, but the advancement rate to the next round was kept below ten percent. 

For example, Nexus College had over a hundred teams registered, but only the top ten teams with the highest win rates would advance.

During the group draw, Jasmine hoped to face Victoria in the first round, confident that her professional players would crush Victoria. 

She wanted to mock Victoria after defeating her, avenging the humiliation she suffered on the island. 

Unfortunately, the draw placed Jasmine, Victoria, and Ella in different groups, making it impossible for them to meet in the preliminaries.

Victoria's team quickly secured six consecutive wins on the first day, advancing as the top team in their group, the first undefeated team to advance from Nexus College. 

Many had been waiting to see Victoria fail, assuming she was just a pretty face with poor gaming skills. 

But after watching her play, they were impressed by her speed, control, and game sense, which were almost on par with professional players. 

Ethan also surprised everyone by playing as a support, and he played exceptionally well, providing timely assistance and clever coordination, averaging ten assists per game—a true god-tier support!

Victoria's team not only had high skill levels but also looked great, winning their matches cleanly and stylishly, gaining more fans. 

Seeing the online support for Victoria, Ella was furious. 

However, she comforted herself with the thought that once Victoria's dark past was exposed, her current supporters would feel betrayed and turn against her even more viciously.

Soon, Jasmine's team also advanced smoothly. 

Ella's team, however, faced some challenges due to Ella being the weakest link, losing one match but eventually advancing. 

Ella scolded her teammates, "You guys are supposed to be pros, yet you can't even protect a girl like me? Are you really worth the ten thousand dollars a day I'm paying you? If I die this many times again, I'll start docking your pay!"
