Everyone was overjoyed. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
They had never come into contact with a wealthy person worth hundreds of millions, not to mention the fact that he was their classmate.
If they could ride his coattails, even if he were to just show them the smallest bit of kindness, they might get to be successful in the future.
“Wow! I really didn’t know we had a hidden talent amongst our classmates. How did our class come out with someone like Julian?” Grace lamented.
“But then again, I already felt that Julian was not that simple back in those days. And look at him now—he’s rich!”
“Yeah. I remember I used to sit behind him.”
“Really? Then you guys must have been very close, right?”
“Haha. Of course. We were deskmates!”
While everyone was chatting away, Matthew sat by the side. He listened to them as they boasted about their relationships with Julian.
Gazing at Matthew, a trace of contempt appeared at the edge of Grace’s mouth.
“Why don’t you go back first, Matthew? It seems like the reunion party tonight isn’t for you.”
“Why is that so?” Matthew frowned in response.
Everyone should know what they’re capable of and recognize their abilities. It’s not that we don’t treat you as our classmate. But the expenditure tonight will be too high.
We shouldn’t torment you with the burden. How about this. I can ask the kitchen to make you some dishes and you can bring them home. We can share your bill amongst us!”
The crowd laughed secretly and Grace instantly praised, “Leo, you’re so good to your friends. Hurry up and thank Leo, Matthew! The dishes at Prosperous Hotel aren’t bad. Just a few of them would cost a few hundred!”
However, with an icy expression, Matthew said in a flat tone, “There’s no need. It’s just a meal. I can still afford it. Everyone, I’m still going to repeat the same thing. I’ll make sure I return every cent that I owe.”
Everyone’s expression went cold at once. Furiously, Grace yelled, “Don’t be stupid, Matthew! This is for your own good. How can you be so ungrateful? Are you sure that you will be paying us back?
Huh. When it’s time to pay the bill, I’m sure you’ll come crying to us saying that you don’t have the money. I’ve met a lot of people like you. You’re simply the lowest class of men!”
