Ever since Willow walked into the private room, she had been listening about the kinds of businesses each person’s child was involved in now.
She was also updated on whose daughter had gotten married which eligible bachelor.
Based on the tales they were telling, everyone seemed to be earning at least a million dollars a year.
“That’s right…”
Fion bobbed her head gently.
If it were not for the fact that Sean had raked in a notable sum of money, she would have refused to come at all.
“Hey, Fion, why aren’t you saying anything? Come on, you were one of the alpha girls back then.”
“We’ll be too scared to say anything if you aren’t talking!”
A heavily made-up middle-aged woman abruptly spoke to Fion, a smile on her face.
Fion had been one of the popular and good-looking girls in school when she was younger. One would not be going overboard by calling her an alpha girl.
“No, that’s not true.”
Fion waved her hands slightly, not wanting to make any further comments.
The middle-aged woman was Ellen Chenne, and word was that amongst all her former classmates, she was the one living most comfortably now.
She had been in charge of organizing today’s class reunion.
However, Ellen was the sort of person who viewed her benefits as being more important than anything else. She was even worse than Fion was in this sense.
The two had been on relatively good terms before this.
However, Ellen had wanted to set her son up with Willow.
Fion was against that, and now the two were enemies.
“Mom, that’s Willow, right?”
“She looks even better than she does in the pictures.”
The young man sitting beside Ellen smiled as he said that.
“Yes, that’s her.”
“Willow, this is my son, Finn Turner. He’s just returned from the Union States.”
“He furthered his education there, and has now entered the workforce.”
Ellen smiled proudly as she introduced her son to Willow.
Willow bobbed her head gently in greeting.
“My treat today. Please enjoy your meal, everyone.”
“I noticed that the quality of local restaurants are slightly lower, and are no match at all for those overseas. That's why I chose this hotel, which is still fairly decent.”
Finn smiled as he spoke.
“Gosh, it’s already wonderful!”
“Finn has only just returned after spending so much time overseas, it’s not surprising he hasn’t gotten used to the food back home yet.”
Gifts blinded the eyes of these middle-aged men and women, and they knew what they should say during such events. Thus, they began showering him with praises.
On the contrary, the youngsters who were in attendance with their parents felt a twinge of annoyance.
Finn’s words showed his feelings of superiority and disdain towards his home country, which the youngsters found unbearable.
However, no one was going to call him out on that.
“Look at that, Fion. I wanted to set Willow up with my son back in the day, but you objected.”
“Now, my son has a foreign girlfriend, cars, property, and savings.”
“Today’s meal is going to cost at least six figures, but my son didn’t even bat an eye.”
The more Ellen spoke, the more excited she became, and everyone sitting nearby murmured in agreement.
“Oh, that’s right. Fion, Willow isn’t still single, right?”
“I heard your family took in a cripple two years ago?”
Ellen deliberately turned her features into a confused expression as she asked Fion that question.
“He was just temporarily disabled. He’s recovered now.”
