The Man's Decree

Chapter 230 A Quick Visit

Despite their confusion regarding Sandy’s actions, they eventually chalked it up to her wish to humiliate Jared for giving up on a girlfriend as virtuous as her.

As the night went on, a few of their classmates had evidently drunk their weight in wine.

Leroy was one of them, and he approached Sandy tipsily. He raised his glass in a toast before drawling, “Sandy, you consider us old friends, don’t you? Do you know I’m working with the Scott family now? Since you’re the Scotts’ future daughter-in-law, I’m sure you’d be kind enough to put in a good word or two for me so the Scotts will send more projects my way. Let me thank you in advance for your help!”

He then downed his glass in a gulp.

His brazenness encouraged their classmates to approach Sandy with requests of their own, ranging from job searches to housing woes. Most of her classmates had attended the reunion solely because they wanted to butter Sandy up for some perks.

Sandy found herself in an awkward situation. She could not tell them then and there that she was no longer in a relationship with Leyton. Her classmates would begin treating her scornfully instead of respectfully when they mistakenly believed her association with the Scott family.

In the end, she gave a non-committal reply. “I’ll see what I can do.”

Her dilemma was about to worsen as Juliette piped up, “Sandy! Why don’t you invite Mr. Scott to our reunion? Some of us have never seen him in the flesh!”
