Lord Chapter 285

Chapter 285 Looking Down on Her

After graduating from high school, it seemed that Willow’s classmates had all become materialistic.

Willow regretted coming to this gathering. She wouldn’t have come if she had known it would turn out this way.

Kelsie, who was following Fritz, looked resentful. When no one was watching, she walked into the restroom and made a call.

“Darling, I’m at the Golden Palace Hotel, and someone just hit me! You have to help me get revenge!” Kelsie coquettishly pleaded.

“What? Which idiot dares to lay a hand on my woman! I’ll bring my people over right now!” a

vicious voice said.

Kelsie walked out of the restroom after hanging up. There was a wicked smile on her face.

Inside the private dining room, it was lively with voices.

“What do you guys want to eat today? You can order anything you like. I’ll foot the bill!” Fritz said with pride.

At this moment, he seemed to be the center of everyone’s attention.

In reality, he wasn’t as wealthy as everyone believed him to be. Even if he earned a million. dollars a year, so what?

A meal in a high–end hotel like this would cost him nearly a month of his salary.

But for the sake of putting up appearances, he could only bite the bullet and pay for it.

Everyone exclaimed in awe once again.

Caspian, watching Fritz’s smug appearance, felt like he was looking at a fool.

Willow looked upset too. She didn’t like such gatherings.

The two or three classmates who had attended Willow and Caspian’s wedding remained silent.

Kelsie walked into the private room from the restroom and sat down without saying a word.

However, her gaze toward Willow became increasingly sharp.

It didn’t take long before a number of beautifully presented dishes were brought out.

Everyone raised their glasses and cheered.

“Come, everyone, let’s give a toast to Fritz!”

“Yes! We must do it for Fritz. If not for him, how could we afford to dine in such a classy hotel?

Everyone raised their glasses, except for Caspian, who simply remained seated with a calm expression on his face.

He couldn’t be bothered with someone like Fritz.

“Thank you all for coming tonight,” Fritz smiled.

Immediately, everyone began praising Fritz once again.

“Fritz, we heard that you’re already a C–suite executive at a subsidiary of Southlake Corporation. That’s incredible! As expected of someone who studied abroad!” someone among them stood up and exclaimed.

“A senior executive at Southlake Corporation’s subsidiary?“.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and astonished.

Southlake Corporation had recently been developing rapidly. They had become the largest conglomerate in Southlake City.

Anyone who worked there had a bright future ahead of them!

“I joined Southlake Corporation after returning from my studies abroad. I’m just a department supervisor and make only a few million dollars a year.” Fritz revealed the details. with a sense of pride.

He seemed to be downplaying it, but deep inside, he was extremely proud of his own.

achievement.

He was able to become a senior executive at Southlake Corporation largely thanks to his cousin. His cousin held a managerial position at one of Southlake Corporation’s subsidiaries.

“My goodness! A few million in just a year!”

Hearing this, everyone was extremely surprised.

They had just graduated from university, and many of them were struggling in small companies. A monthly salary of over ten grand was already considered good.

After Fritz returned from overseas, he unexpectedly became a senior executive at Southlake

Corporation. He earned hundreds of thousands a month and a few million dollars a year.

This made many of them dispirited when they reflected on their own situations.

“Fritz, you’re so outstanding!”

“If Southlake Corporation has any vacancies in the future, could you help us pull some strings?

“Yeah, that’s right!”

Several of them started to flatter Fritz. If they could enter Southlake Corporation, their future would definitely be brighter.

“That’s easy. If there’s any news, I’ll be sure to give you first–hand information. After all, we

These people knew that Southlake Corporation was very powerful, but they had no idea who the CEO of Southlake Corporation was.

Most of them didn’t work in Southlake City. As for Fritz, he had just returned from overseas and knew nothing about the situation in Southlake City.

“I met the CEO of Southlake Corporation once when I was at the subsidiary. She had a good impression of me and even said she wanted to promote me!”

Fritz started to make up stories.

“Your road to success is here!” one classmate exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Willow and Caspian exchanged glances.

What nonsense was Fritz talking about?

Willow had never seen Fritz at the subsidiary office, let alone form a good impression of him. He was simply talking nonsense.

“Fritz, why didn’t I know about the CEO of Southlake Corporation meeting you at the

subsidiary office previously?” Willow asked.

“Willow? Are you also working at Southlake Corporation’s subsidiary office?” Fritz suddenly

asked nervously.

He was afraid that his lies would be exposed.

“Yes, but I’ve never seen you there,” Willow said.

She had been to Southlake Corporation’s subsidiary office before and had never seen Fritz.

“What position do you hold in the company? I’m in the office all day, but I can’t possibly meet everyone!” Fritz proudly said.

Even if Willow worked at Southlake Corporation’s subsidiary office, she was probably just an insignificant employee.

Willow couldn’t help but laugh. Fritz was so full of himself, wasn’t he?

“Willow, are you perhaps a janitor at the company?” Kelsie mocked with a laugh.

Everyone was stunned as Kelsie’s words seemed plausible. Their gazes toward Willow were suddenly filled with disdain.

“Willow, don’t worry. I’ll find a way for you to get promoted when the opportunity arises!” Fritz said with a smile.

At this moment, he was still thinking about how to take advantage of Willow.

Willow rolled her eyes. She was the CEO of Southlake Corporation, yet this insignificant. supervisor dared to make fun of her?

“This is hilarious. I didn’t want to get involved in your conversation, but it’s just so funny. How could someone like you work at the subsidiary office of Southlake Corporation? It seems. like I should hold the person in charge of the subsidiary office accountable!”

Caspian suddenly burst into laughter.

“You…” Fritz became furious.

How dare a good–for–nothing make fun of him?

“Who do you think you are? How dare you say that about me? You’re just a freeloading matrilocal son–in–law, a good–for–nothing! I studied abroad and earn a six–figure salary now.

“What about you? You don’t even have a decent car!” Fritz sneered.

Seeing that Fritz had gotten angry, the others didn’t say anything. They were waiting to watch

the drama as it unfolded.

Among the crowd, there were two or three who kept silent because they knew that Caspian couldn’t possibly be a loser. Caspian and Willow’s wedding was too grand and exceptional.

“Hahaha! Fritz, you idiot. What a pity!” Caspian said as he laughed.

“What do you mean by that? I’ll give you two options. Either explain yourself clearly or apologize to me immediately! Otherwise, I won’t let this slide!” Fritz said angrily.

He had initially wanted to put on appearances in front of his former classmates, but Caspian had been undermining him all evening. He couldn’t bear it anymore.

He thought that a good–for–nothing like Caspian would be humbled upon being taught a lesson.

“I just think that you keep looking down on people. Do you know Willow’s position?” Caspian said disdainfully.

“She’s just an ordinary employee at Southlake Corporation’s subsidiary office.”

“Yes! What’s so special about her?”

Several classmates also chimed in.

“You guys sure know how to look down on people. Willow is now the CEO of Southlake Corporation,” Caspian said with a laugh.
