His Lordship Alexander Kane by Useless Caesar

Chapter 0198

The next morning at 10 a.m., Woolpackton’s Grand Garethy Hotel was bustling on its top-floor banquet hall.

It was not Ol’ Mare’s fanciest spot-just a four-star hotel-but with the year-end holidays still in full swing. snagging any room was a win. The holidays were the reason Amber’s classmates could finally squeeze in a

reunion.

Seven years on, and she had not lost a bit of her charm. The youthful blush was replaced by a touch of sophistication, but she was still the goddess from their dreams.

“Sorry I’m

Amber looped her arm through Alexander’s, greeting her old high school friends with a bright smile. “It’s been years, but you all haven’t changed a bit!”

Her classmates returned her smile joyfully. A few of the guys even teased her, “Amber, some of us are still on the market! We came to this reunion hoping for a shot with you, but you’ve gone and tied the knot! Guess we’re

out of luck now!”
