Chapter 226 Class Reunion

The taxi came to a stop in front of Meadow Restaurant. After Jared alighted and paid the fare, it then

drove off.

There were quite a number of luxurious cars parked in front of the restaurant. Just then, a Mercedes-

Benz C-Class screeched to a stop before Jared.

“Hey, if it isn’t Jared! I heard that you were in prison! When did you get out?”

The car window wound down, and a young man with ear studs stuck his head out.

That was Jared’s classmate during university, Leroy Fletcher. Even during their university days, he had

an above-average family background, with his family owning a small factory. It had just been a few years

since they graduated, but he was already driving a Mercedes-Benz.

“Jared, don’t you think it’s a little too shabby to dress in such a manner when you’re attending our class

reunion?” the girl sitting in the passenger seat questioned with a scornful expression, poking her head

out as well.

That girl, Pamela Ingram, was also Jared’s classmate during university. She had been dating Leroy since

then, and they were likely still an item at present.

That day, Jared didn’t wear the suit Josephine bought him. Although it was exorbitant, he found it

constraining. Instead, his cheap casual clothes were far more comfortable.

“Cut that out! He has just gotten out of prison, so it’s good enough that he has his current ensemble. This

is likely the best he has at home!”

After saying that, Leroy parked the car before he climbed out and turned to Jared. “Who informed you

about the class reunion this time? I don’t remember anyone giving you a call.”

“I’m not here for any class reunion!”

Having said that, Jared strode toward Meadow Restaurant.

“Don’t tell me you’re here for lunch if not to attend the class reunion? But judging from your look, you

don’t seem like you can afford to eat here. Just admit it. Did you come for the free meal after learning

about the class reunion? That’s nothing embarrassing. We’re all former classmates, so there’s no

shame. This meal is going to be Juliette’s treat, and I heard that Sandy is coming as well. Sandy is now

the daughter-in-law of the Scott family, so it’s a rare opportunity to dine with her!” Pamela drawled with

mockery written all over her face, blocking Jared’s path.

“Have you really forgotten that Sandy is his ex-girlfriend, Pamela? Now that she has married into the

Scott family, he wouldn’t have the nerve to see her,” Leroy remarked derisively, arching an eyebrow.

“Oh, I remember now! It was Mr. Scott who put him in prison. It would be bad if Mr. Scott misunderstood

and sent him back to prison if he were to attend the class reunion. No wonder he doesn’t dare do so!”

Subsequently, Pamela moved aside for him to pass. “Go on in and find a place to hide. We’ll allow you to

have the leftovers when we’ve finished eating!”

As Pamela and Leroy kept deriding him, Jared abruptly gave a bitter chuckle. “Let’s go! I’ll attend the

class reunion with you both!”

He knew that they were provoking him, but since they were doing so, he decided to go and see how

materialistic those former classmates of his were.

Upon seeing that he couldn’t withstand the taunts and had fallen into their trap, Pamela and Leroy

exchanged a look and smirked.

They were only expending so much effort in inviting him to trample all over him during the class reunion

and leave a good impression on Sandy.

Sandy had married into the Scott family then. Coincidentally, Leroy’s company had a collaboration with

the Scott family. Therefore, he hoped to get some projects from the Scott family through Sandy.

The two of them brought Jared to the private room. Opening the door, they were greeted by the sight of

seven or eight people there, including Juliette, who was the host that day.

“You’re both late, Leroy! You’ll have to down three glasses later!”

“I heard that you bought a Mercedes-Benz? How incredible that you’re driving a Mercedes-Benz at such

a young age!”

“Oh, you’re really dating Pamela! I thought the two of you would break up after graduating!”

When they entered the room, many people greeted Leroy since he was considered a small-time big shot

then.
