Chapter 129: Chapter 131

“I’m on my way to Serene Hot Springs, Mr. Arnold. My classmates are gonna gather there.” He just

keeps blackmailing me. Darn it. Imma work hard and tell him to f*ck off one of these days.

Isaac smiled, and he warmed up a little. “Have fun.” Hm, Serene Hot Springs, huh? I see. I’m taking the

day off, so might as well take the kids on a hot spring trip. I’d like to see what she looks like in a

swimsuit.

He hung up, and Patricia heaved a sigh of relief. God, he’s so hard to handle. Trying to fire me every

time I go against him is just stupid. She arrived at the hot springs about an hour later. Patricia got out of

the car and pulled her shoulder bag closer, then she went to the lobby. It was merry in the lobby.

Groups of people were huddled together, chatting about their lives.

Suddenly, someone shouted, “Patricia’s here!”

Selina came from the reception counter and hugged Patricia happily. “Finally. Everyone’s here this

year.”

Patricia’s high school friends huddled closer, and the tallest guy among them—Ryan Hudson—came

up to her. “Remember me, Patricia?”

Patricia looked at him. Tall and handsome. Yep, he’s Ryan alright, the most handsome guy back in high

school. She smiled, “You look even hotter now, handsome.”

He looked at the lady before him. The other girls wore beautiful clothes and makeup, but Patricia did

not. She was in a tracksuit, but still she was the prettiest and most outstanding one of them all.

“It’s been a while, Patricia.” Selina laughed. “Ryan, you finally got the chance to see the girl you want,

and it’s all thanks to me. Don’t forget about your promise. Give me more deals.”

Ryan was the president of Hudsoncorp, a company under the Hudsons, one of the aristocratic families

in Appleby.

Patricia cocked her eyebrow. “And I thought you invited me because you wanted everyone to be

present. So this was all just for your business?” Wow, and I thought everyone misses me. I’m so stupid.

Selina wrapped her arm around Patricia. “Don’t take it to heart, Patricia. I’m doing God’s work here.”

She gave Ryan a wink of encouragement.

Adeline came at the same time. She was in white fur coat, and a limited edition shoulder bag hung from

her arm. Her heels clopped, and she waved at her high school buddies. “It’s been a while, everyone. I’ll

be paying for everything today.”

That was how their community worked. The most successful guy or lady would pay for their college

classmates in every reunion.

A few of the ladies said, “Wow, Adeline. That’s a nice coat. And this bag must have cost a ton.” They

were astonished by Adeline’s attire, which they estimated to cost at least six figures.

Adeline smiled. “My boyfriend got them for me. I have no idea how much they cost either.”

The crowd gasped. “Your boyfriend got them for you? He’s loaded!”

One of the ladies, Yvonne, was Adeline’s best friend. She cocked her eyebrow and smiled. “He’s

loaded alright. The guy’s the leader of Appleby’s biggest family.”

The ladies gasped again. “Isaac Arnold?” they said at the same time. They did not keep their voices

down, and their other classmates heard them.

“We’re counting on you now, Adeline. We’re your friends. Don’t forget about your buddies, alright?”
