Chapter 174 The Disappointing Class Reunion
“No problem! It’s a gathering organized by Gavin. I have to attend it anyway!” Lachlan shook his head and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Freya laughed out loud and said, “What’s the matter, Lachlan? Do you also know that Gavin is well-connected and want to please him? You are quite savvy. If you manage to flatter Gavin and make him happy, maybe he will let you work as a janitor in his company.”
“After all, you used to do this kind of work a lot in school, so you must be good at it, right? Hahaha…”
Freya said with a teasing smirk, and in the end, she couldn’t help but laugh herself.
“Hehe, yeah! I also want to see how awesome Gavin is now! But from the looks of it, have you been fawning him a lot? Have you fawned your way into bed?” Lachlan nodded and asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Freya immediately became angry and embarrassed, “Fuck you! Lachlan, it’s been years since we last met, why are you so despicable?”
She secretly made up her mind: You’re just a piece of trash, and you want to please Gavin? You wait for me, I’ll stir things up a bit in front of Gavin later. If he doesn’t teach you a lesson, I’ll be surprised!
When Allison heard Lachlan’s words, a hint of disappointment flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Did Lachlan also want to follow the trend and curry favor with Gavin’s family now that they had become more powerful?
Ah… It’d been years since they last met. Was the young man who used to have such strong principles and would rather endure humiliation by washing other students’ socks than accept help from others now bowing down to life’s challenges?
Perhaps, this was reality!
Nowadays, she also worked overtime every day for that little salary.
Even in the face of clients, she had to put on a smiling face and play along, acting as needed.
Three people arrived at a private room on the fourth floor, and as soon as they opened the door, they saw a group of former classmates chatting with each other inside!
A young man dressed in designer clothes, with a Porsche key hanging from his waist, was surrounded by a group of people like stars surrounding the moon.
“Gavin is now worth over a hundred million dollar!”
“Gavin, I don’t have a good job right now. Can you help me out?”
“Gavin, I used to hang out with you when we were in school. Now it’s your turn to take care of me!”
In the face of these compliments, Gavin looked pleased and flattered, “No problem, no problem! We are all classmates. If there is any difficulty, I will definitely help.”
“Gavin is righteous!”
At this moment, a middle-aged beauty with lingering charm also approached Gavin. “Gavin, you are the most successful student I have ever taught. By the way, I have ordered a suite, but I am still short of ten thousand dollars for the down payment. Can you lend me some money?”
This middle-aged beauty was Demi Fraser, their former homeroom teacher who loved wealth and despised poverty. When she found out that Gavin was from a wealthy family, she took care of him in every possible way.
Even when he got into fights at school, Demi pretended not to know and even helped cover it up.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
What was worse was that as Lachlan’s homeroom teacher back then, Demi looked down on him and made things difficult for him. When Lachlan’s parents went missing years ago and he met the requirements to apply for financial aid at school, Demi refused to help him submit his application and secretly kept it for herself.
“Sure thing Ms. Fraser! It’s just ten thousand dollars after all. You’re my teacher so take it!”
“It’s been years since we last saw each other but you’re still so beautiful! Haha…”
Gavin waved his hand generously while giving Demi a pat on her butt, “Ten thousand dollars is just two days’ pocket money for me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his classmates flattered him again while Allison frowned upon seeing this scene after entering the room.
She felt like this class reunion had turned into an occasion to show off wealth and connections rather than catching up with old friends.
“Oh look who we have here? Our campus belle has arrived?” Someone noticed Allison entering the room and shouted excitedly.
Gavin’s eyes lit up immediately as he moved away from Demi towards Allison, “Allison, you finally came! I missed you so much.”
Allison heard these flirtatious words but only smiled without responding.
Just then someone noticed Lachlan behind her.
“Hey isn’t that Lachlan? What is he doing now?” Everyone turned their attention towards Allison’s direction with different expressions on their faces.
Lachlan used to be known as the poor kid in class whom everyone remembered well.
“Not much,” replied Lachlan expressionlessly.
“Not much? So does that mean you’re unemployed now?”
“I have a pair of socks here, can you help me wash them? I’ll give you a hundred bucks, how about it?”
As soon as the words fell, the whole room burst into laughter.
Demi, the former homeroom teacher, sneered and said with disdain, “Lachlan, I never thought you’d still be so useless! You’re just as unambitious as ever!”
Lachlan looked at her and sneered, “Oh, it’s Ms. Fraser? You’re almost forty years old and still wearing silk stockings and short skirts. Don’t you see how many crow’s feet are around your eyes?”
Hearing this, Demi’s face changed slightly. She subconsciously touched her own face and angrily said, “Lachlan! I used to be your homeroom teacher. Is this how you talk to a teacher? It’s no wonder that someone without parents like you has no manners!”
“Teacher? Who do you think you are?” Lachlan snorted.
Demi was so angry that she couldn’t even speak.
Other classmates chimed in to join Demi in criticizing Lachlan.
“Alright everyone stop! Let me apologize on behalf of my crazy friend,” a voice suddenly spoke up.
Someone had come up from behind and put his arm around Lachlan’s shoulder. It was none other than his old friend Theo who had also come to the reunion party.
“Theo why are you hanging out with this poor guy?” Gavin asked coldly while laughing sarcastically.
Lachlan frowned slightly but shook off Theo’s hand from his shoulder.
“Stop insulting my crazy friend! You guys don’t know what he just went through – he just got divorced because his wife cheated on him.”
“He is already going through enough right now; we’re all classmates here so let’s not kick him when he’s down,” Theo added sympathetically while sighing heavily as if feeling sorry for Lachlan.
The room erupted into commotion!
“I knew it! He must have been carrying some heavy baggage!”
“Looks like he became a cuckold?”
“Exactly! What kind of woman would stay with such an idiot for life?”
“Lachlan we didn’t know about your situation before making fun of it…hahaha…”
The group of classmates continued mocking him excitedly like they had stumbled upon some juicy gossip.
Theo sneered at Lachlan, relishing in his victory. He had been kicked out of the factory and lost his job as manager, leaving him without enough money to buy formula for his three children. Yet instead of reflecting on his own actions, Theo harbored a deep resentment towards Lachlan.
At this moment, Theo intentionally revealed the news of Lachlan’s divorce in public, hoping to humiliate him. And it seemed to be working quite well.
Theo purposely didn’t mention that Lachlan had spent 1 million dollars buying the factory – he didn’t want to give him any satisfaction.
