After hearing that, Amelia shyly said, "Thank you."
"You can smell it, I'm using 'The Water of Life' right now." Brian then lifted the collar of his jacket to give Amelia the full feeling.
Amelia wanted to stand up and then leave but had to be patient due to the occasion in front of her, but thankfully Lucy was here.
"Sit over there!" Lucy came to Amelia's side with a glass in her left hand, pushing Brian away from Amelia like a queen patrolling her territory.
Brian touched his nose and thought that it was not easy to deal with Lucy.
Amelia looked at the scene in front of her and thought to herself that Patrick and Lucy must have something in common if they knew each other because they had the exact same way of getting rid of people.
"Amelia, why isn't Daniel here?" Teresa Ferris, who was the well- known beauty when they were in college, asked.
Teresa's words brought Amelia, who had just gotten quiet, back into the limelight.
Teresa was the center of attention at this reunion before Amelia arrived, but as soon as Amelia arrived all attention was diverted away from her, and she couldn't bear the change.
What's more, Teresa and Amelia had been competing for scholarships. And Teresa had confided in Daniel but was rejected...
Her dislike for Amelia grew. Seeing Amelia alone at the reunion, Teresa was jealous, and she purposely asked about Daniel to see how Amelia awkwardly answer it.
Under all the attention, Amelia calmly said, "I broke up with him."
Everyone in an uproar.
At that time, Amelia and Daniel were famous for their love for each other, and they often studied in the library together. Amelia's dormitory was far away from the dining hall, and on weekends Daniel waited for her downstairs with her lunchbox, much to the envy of Lucy and Jessica, who shared the dormitory with Amelia.
Plus, Daniel was a good-looking and mature senior, and many of the girls in Amelia's department were impressed by him.
However, such a golden couple, who everyone thought should have been married long ago, had... broken up?
Teresa exaggeratedly covered her chest, "Oh my gosh, I can't believe love when I hear Amelia say that!"
Lucy looked at Teresa askance, "So fake, we all know you are secretly happy now."
The expression on Teresa's face changed and she said sarcastically, "Lucy, you left college before you graduated and got married. I thought you weren't coming. By the way, where's your husband? I heard he's a famous businessman. He must be very
generous with his money, right? The cloth you're wearing must be worth tens of thousands, too."
Lucy suddenly looked pale, but she said, "He's busy at work and doesn't have time to come."
"Oh," Teresa nodded deliberately, "men like to buy little gifts as compensation when they don't care about their wives..."
Lucy responds to this by smashing the empty beer can in her hand onto Teresa.
Teresa covered the painful spot where she had been hit and glared at Lucy, "After all these years, why are you still so savage!"
"I'll smash more beer bottles if you keep babbling nonsense." Lucy smiled proudly.
Teresa felt angry. Lucy had been known as a brute since college and if it wasn't due to her personality, she would have been courted by many with her beauty.
Noticing that a few of guys brought by Teresa were observing the situation and seemed to be waiting for her orders to come over and teach them a lesson, Amelia pondered for a moment, calmed Lucy down, and walked over to Teresa with two wine glasses in hand, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Would you mind having a few drinks with me?"
