Chuck's appearance made most of Yvette Jordan's ex-classmates think twice of their predictions from just now. He looked like a poor loser who wasn't able to support Yvette. She was probably the one supporting him instead.
"Lincoln, here's the money for our share of the bill." Yvette handed the money that she had prepared over to her ex-classmate.
Lincoln Collins, the class monitor, shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. Matthew paid for this reunion."
Yvette was shocked. However, she knew that Matthew Yallopp came from an extremely rich family. His net worth was probably more than a few billion dollars.
Just then, a handsome young man sat down and smiled at her.
Yvette nodded and said, "Thank you."
Matthew shrugged his shoulders in reply.
"Oh yeah, Matthew, you've earned a lot of money recently, haven't you? I heard it's more than 30 million dollars, am I right?" One of the classmates said with envy.
Matthew smiled and said, "More or less."
"Congratulations! 30 million? No wonder. We can't just eat today, we have to also go to the bar later."
"That's right. You should invite all of us for some fun since you earn big bucks now."
The classmates were surprised and filled with jealousy. He belonged to a rich family and was a smart businessman. They admired him for being able to earn 30 million dollars at one time.
None of the classmates were able to earn as much as Matthew even if they spent the rest of their lives working.
They envied him.
"No problem. Let's eat first," Matthew said. He didn't care at all. After all, it was really just a small sum of money to him.
"Come on, let's all sit down."
The manager smiled and said, "Matthew has ordered our hotel's most famous dishes for everyone. The most expensive one is worth more than 3 thousand dollars."
"What? So expensive?"
"It's expensive to us, but it must be nothing to Matthew, right?"
"That's true. Thank you, Matthew. I've never eaten such an expensive dish before!"
"Me too. I'm so glad that you're my classmate."
Everyone was busy praising Matthew and trying to get his attention.
Matthew smiled, "It's my pleasure. Enjoy the food and have fun! It's all on me."
"Wow! I'm in luck."
The students were surprised.
"Stop talking and let's take a seat." The manager made the arrangements.
"Hubby, let's sit down too," Yvette suggested. Chuck was also feeling a little hungry, so he sat down with Yvette.
Although it was a four-star hotel, it was still incomparable to his mother's hotel. Chuck glanced around and tried to analyze the area himself since this hotel had good business. It was beneficial for him to learn about other people's business anyways.
After all, Chuck intended to earn some money from the movie he invested in at the plaza. With that amount of money, he could invest in other businesses, like a hotel. That was his plan anyways.
"Hubby, don't be shy. It's okay." Yvette noticed Chuck glancing around. She thought that Chuck was not used to this kind of situation. If he was, she would feel bad for bringing him here. She couldn't bear to let her husband feel upset and out-of-place.
Chuck smiled and said, "I'm fine."
Yvette breathed a sigh of relief.
One of the classmates chuckled, "Yvette, seems like your husband hasn't been here before. He looks a little reserved. Take it easy. We're all classmates,"
"Yeah." Yvette nodded. She looked at Chuck who was beside her, and she was relieved at how confident he looked.
"Come on, the dishes are here. Let's eat!" The manager said.
The dishes were served one by one. The students started to salivate at the sight of the dishes. It was rare for them to enjoy themselves so extravagantly.
Everyone began to eat, and some took photos to post on social media. Some of the boys began to drink. Yvette whispered, "Hubby, you're not driving later, so would you like a drink?"
Chuck thought for a moment. He figured that since his tolerance wasn't high, some practice would do him good.
