Chapter 499

There was only one thought in their minds when they saw that beautiful woman.

“A woman with such unrivaled beauty existed in this world?”

They were all in a daze.

Meanwhile, this beautiful woman started walking toward them with a smile.

Their breaths quickened as they began to wonder, Is she interested in me?

The most excited person there was Leo because that beautiful woman was walking straight toward him.

The closer she got to him, the higher he felt his heart rise in his throat.

When she arrived right in front of him, he flaunted a smile at her and was about to speak when she went right past him.

His face stiffened.

To everyone’s surprise, she headed toward Matthew and smiled. “Mr. Larson, please excuse me. Did I interrupt your dinner? I have everything prepared. Is it convenient for you to head over there now?”

Everyone was in disbelief. Is the beautiful woman talking to Matthew?

Why is she inviting him?

How did Matthew even get to know such a beautiful woman?

He smiled. “You look like you’re in a bit of a rush. No worries. I happen to have time now. Let’s go.”

Handing Nicole back to Julian, he followed the beautiful woman back into that Lamborghini and drove off with everyone’s eyes on them.

It was silent. Leo and the others were standing like statues—frozen in place.

Just then, Julian walked over and smirked. “Leo, aren’t you friends with that beauty?”

He stammered, “H-How would I know her?”

Julian scoffed. “No way. Didn’t you say you two were really close earlier?”

“W-When did I say that?”

“Didn’t you? Didn’t you say you were really close to Leanna?”

Leo insisted, “That’s Leanna. I wasn’t talking about this…”

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

Everyone also turned to look at him simultaneously. Grace questioned, “Are you bluffing? That’s Leanna Sandel?”

Julian smirked. “What do you think?”

They looked at each other. Leanna paid for their bill earlier, so it seemed like that beautiful woman was really Leanna. She was not paying for Leo, but Matthew!

Grace felt disconcerted. “Leo, aren’t you and Leanna close? That woman earlier didn’t even know you.

She can’t be Leanna, right?”

Leo’s face turned red. He kept his head lowered and did not speak.

Julian mocked, “Whether they’re close or not, he himself knows the truth.”

Seeing the look on Leo’s face, however, they could guess what was happening.

Even his underlings were now contemptuously glaring at him.

After showing off earlier, he was exposed on the spot. How embarrassing was that?

Leo turned pale with anger. He seethed, “This can’t be! How… How does Matthew know Leanna?

There’s definitely something wrong here!”

Julian retorted, “Why wouldn’t he know her? Leo, do you think that just because you were the class monitor in school that everyone is inferior to you? Just because we’re all old classmates, we won’t get back at you for what happened in school? But your present actions show that you don’t see us as your classmates at all. Don’t blame us when we don’t see you as one, either. After all, you’re not even worth calling a friend!”

With Nicole in his arms, Julian brought Ed and her away from the place.

Leo and the others were left at the scene and they all looked infuriated.

Throughout the whole evening, they had mocked Matthew continuously.

Who would have imagined that, out of the lot of them, the one who turned out the best was, in fact, Matthew?

If they had known, they would have treated him better. Wouldn’t they be able to gain something good out of it too?

But now, it was too late to start regretting it.
