Chapter 488

Staring at Grace, Matthew said coldly, “You’ve indeed met a lot of men! I’m sure there’s no surprise there!”

When Grace was in school, she wasn’t only with Leo. She also had many other boyfriends during their schooling days and was therefore once the talk of the school.

The moment Grace heard that, her expression turned cloudy.

With a slap on the table, she yelled, “What are you saying, Matthew? Say it again if you dare!”

Even Leo fixed his gaze on Matthew fiercely. After all, he was still hooking up with Grace.

“Matthew, how can you say something like that? We’re classmates and what we’re doing is for your own good. How can you bully a girl like that? Is there still anyone like you? A man bullying a girl like that! Are you still a man?” Leo shouted.

However, the others were actually laughing silently in their heart. All of them knew about Grace’s love affairs.

But, now that Leo was the best among them and they wanted to flatter him, of course, they had to support him.

“You’ve gone overboard, Matthew!”

“How can a man insult a girl like that? Why are you so shameless?”

“Get out! People like you don’t have the right to join our reunion party!”

“Garbage! Shut your mouth if you don’t know how to speak properly!”

Everyone kept yelling at Matthew. They looked like they were about to beat him up in the next second.

When Grace noticed the situation, she instantly put on a pitiful expression and pointed at Matthew as she yelled, “You better make it clear now, Larson. How have I met a lot of men?If you don’t explain it, I won’t let you off the hook!”

With an impatient expression, Matthew said, “Shouldn’t you be clear about that? I don’t want to talk nonsense with you anymore. After all, I didn’t come because of you. And you guys shouldn’t be worried about me. I’ll be able to afford the expenses for the class reunion tonight.”

As he was saying that, he slammed a wad of cash on the table.

If one were to skim through it, there seemed to be almost two thousand there.

Instantly, everyone present at the scene quietened down. They threw a glance at one another. None of them expected Matthew to carry such a huge amount of cash with him.

After a moment of silence, Leo said nonchalantly, “Seems like you came prepared, Matthew. Is that necessary for a reunion party? What? Did you go to the bank and draw two thousand just so you could show off tonight? It’s okay. Everyone knows about your situation. There’s no need for you to put on a pretense!”

The others nodded. “Is that money you’ve saved up for years? Did you bring all of it just to boast in front of us?”

“It’s already so difficult to support your own living. How can you bring all of your money here just to show off? How ridiculous.”

“As a man myself, Matthew, I really need to give you a word of caution. You must always put your family first. You cannot be swayed by your emotions and act so recklessly. You should’ve kept this money to buy something good for your wife and kids!”

Matthew looked helpless upon hearing that. These guys sure have a rich imagination.

“Don’t worry so much. I just need you to tell me; is this money enough for tonight’s expenses?”

Matthew said solemnly.

Glancing at each other, Leo waved his hand and said, “Forget it! If you’re so determined, join us then.

But, I really need to tell you, Matthew. The main guest tonight is Julian. You better watch what you say later. We don’t care if you continue to talk to us like that, but Julian is a big boss now. If you offend him, even if he doesn’t want to do anything to you, I won’t let you off easily. Do you get me?”

Pursing his lips, Matthew replied, “Don’t worry; I won’t offend him!”

“You’re only capable of bullying girls like me. Would you dare to offend Julian? Pfft!” sneered Grace.

“You better stay away from Julian later. A janitor like you shouldn’t get close to him!”
