Chapter 50

Cindy’s expression was nothing but arrogant, clutching onto Edward’s arm as the both of them sat down. Edward had a high and mighty air about him as well.

Wilbur frowned, irritation flaring in his chest.

It was clear that Cindy had brought her boyfriend along just to show off. It was a gathering, not a show- and–tell.

Everyone raised their glasses, and so did Wilbur, Nancy and a few female classmates only drank tea.

After the first drink, everyone picked up their cutlery and began chatting among themselves.
