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.
