Chapter 649 Great Talent

Meryl took a deep breath, steadying herself before stepping out of the car with Anne.

The venue for the gathering was a high-end hotel, and they were meeting on a floor they had reserved entirely for themselves, a throwback to their days at an elite school.

As they exited the elevator, Meryl was taken aback to see Lydia and a few other familiar faces.

Although the memories were a bit hazy, she quickly recognized

them.

They had all been part of Lydia's clique back in the day, the same girls who had once poured red ink on her chair.

Meryl vividly recalled sitting down and feeling the cold stain seep through her school uniform, the laughter of her classmates ringing in her ears.

It was also these girls who had locked her in the bathroom on a freezing winter day.

Back then, Meryl had struggled to understand why they harbored such cruelty at such a young age.

For a long time, she had lived under the shadow of their bullying.

Looking at Lydia and her friends now, Meryl couldn't help but notice that despite their polished appearances, they were no longer the untouchable girls they once were.

If she recalled correctly, their families had fallen on hard times and were deep in debt.

The atmosphere was tense as the girls exchanged glances, clearly unsure how to interact with Meryl now that they were no longer reliant on their family's status. They seemed hesitant to meet her gaze, afraid of offending her.

Meryl, however, was unfazed. She smiled warmly at them, but Lydia wasted no time in making a jab at the sight of Meryl's thoughtful expression.

"What's wrong, Meryl? Are you crying tears of joy at seeing your old classmates?"

Lydia's voice dripped with sarcasm, and then she feigned a gasp.
