CHAPTER 467 HE IS JUST SO SO
"Hahaha…"
Everyone burst into laughter as Dakota said that.
Those three women looked contemptuously at Leo, while the men beside them turned up their noses at
him.
Since Leo was modestly dressed, and there was no expensive watch on his wrist, he was naturally
believed to be Marie’s chauffeur.
Leo himself was stunned to hear that too.
They had just arrived, but how come he became the target for satire again?
Marie was surprised to see their reaction, and then got a little annoyed. But since they had used to be
her classmates, she could only contain herself and force herself to finish the sentence. "He’s my
boyfriend."
However, Dakota and the other two women laughed even harder.
"Well well, Marie, we know he’s your boyfriend, but you don’t have to tell us."
"Exactly, Marie. We feel sorry for you. You were the prettiest girl in high school. It didn’t occur to us that
you would end up being with such a man after graduation." Original from .
"Marie, listen to me. I’ll fix you up with another man in a while. You’re too good for him."
Marie was stupefied to hear them, but soon, her face clouded over with anger.
"Shut up!"
Dakota and the other two women stopped laughing immediately as Marie roared, staring at her in
surprise.
"He’s my boyfriend. If you insult him again, don’t blame me for being too hard on you!"
Marie growled. She got angry for real.
Serena also snapped, "Stop judging people by their appearances! You guys are embarrassing!"
At first, Marie thought they had mistaken Leo for her chauffeur, so she explained to them specially, but
now she realized they did it on purpose.
They humiliated Leo by mistaking him for Marie’s chauffeur intentionally when they knew he was her
boyfriend!
Dakota didn’t expect Marie to react all that much. She was stunned for a moment before giving a smile.
"Marie, we haven’t met for years. It’s just a joke. Relax!"
"Exactly, Marie. Don’t be mad. Since he’s your boyfriend, he can come in with us."
The group of people came into one of the private boxes in Spaerrace.
The mood became peaceful again, but there was still a sense of embarrassment in the air because of
Leo.
Leo gave a careless smile and comforted Marie. "Marie, I’fine."
Leo, the man who had gone through so much, had already seen the nature of this class reunion.
In fact, the so-called "class reunion" was nothing but a platform for those old "classmates" to compete
with and throw shade at each other. They competed with each other on everything, income, clothes,
house, car, or even the woman or man they took with them.
"You’re fine? Didn’t you hear what they said about you?" Marie said in a huff, biting her lip.
Actually, Marie wasn’t afraid of being embarrassed in front of Leo, but of the fact that he would have a
prejudice against her and thus the two would grow apart.
However, Marie wasn’t going to let it go like this.
Led by a hostess, the group of people walked into a luxurious private box.
One could tell that the one who sponsored this reunion was rich because the minimum charge for the
box was over one hundred thousand.
The door of the box was open, and a decently dressed man who was in his late 20s was sitting in it.
"You’ve come!" The man gave an easy smile at the sight of his old classmates.
"Edwin Gill?" Dakota, Billie, Abigail and the others were astonished to see this young man. "Why are
you here?"
Edwin was the big man in school. Many girls had chased him, and all the girls present had had a secret
crush on him.
Suddenly, Dakota exclaimed, "I got it! Edwin is the one who sponsors this class reunion, right?"
Everyone echoed Dakota’s words after hearing her.
"It should be him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sitting here."
"Edwin is amazing! He was big in school, but he’s still doing pretty good after graduation."
"Edwin, I know you’ll be promoted in tax bureau soon, right?"
Her brows knit, Marie had no interest in Edwin at all.
Edwin smiled and waved for silence, saying with a grin, "I’m not the sponsor of this class reunion, but
someone else is. Guess who it is?"
Edwin’s words caused a buzz in the crowd.
Dakota, Billie and the others made a few guesses.
"No." Edwin gave a slight smile and turned to Marie. "Would you make a guess, Marie?"
Marie blurted out a random name with perfect nonchalance, "Winnie?"
Edwin clapped his hands. "You’re right! It’s her. She’s not that ugly duckling she used to be anymore.
She has grown more beautiful now and married a rich guy. She’ll be attending this class reunion too."
"Oh my god! It should be her! I remember she had dark skin and looked ugly during her high school
years. It didn’t occur to me that she would marry a rich guy."
"Never underestimate any inconspicuous young girl. I’ll drink a toast to her in a while."
There was an envious look in Dakota, Billie, Abigail and the others’ eyes.
Meanwhile, Marie, Leo and Serena took their seats.
Edwin noticed Serena at a glance and asked, "Who are they?"
"This is my good friend, Serena Wallace, and this is my boyfriend, Leo Cohen."
"Leo Cohen…" Edwin found the name familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen this name and
gave up.
As a sophisticated man, Edwin didn’t mock Leo as Dakota did, but reached out his hand to Serena first.
"Hello, my name is Edwin, and I work in the Tax-department of Hopkins."
"Hello," Serena greeted him politely, but didn’t shake hands with him.
Edwin frowned instantly. He was someone who worked in the Tax-department of Hopkins, and people
should scramble to shake hands with him.
Now he reached out his hand, but Serena actually ignored him.
"Did she just refuse Edwin?"
"That stupid woman. Does she know she just missed the opportunity to get herself a rich husband?"
"Well, I wish I were her just now."
Dakota and the other girls were whispering enviously.
The next moment, Edwin turned to Leo, but this time, he didn’t reach out his hand. "Edwin. I guess we’ll
meet each other more frequently since you are Marie’s boyfriend."
"Leo Cohen." Leo nodded with a smile.
Honestly, Edwin didn’t leave a bad impression on Leo. At least he wouldn’t judge a book by its cover,
and that might have something to do with the environment he worked in, where big shots usually kept a
low profile.
"Winnie’s here!"
Suddenly, the door was pushed open.
A gorgeous woman walked in.
She might not be so beautiful as Marie, but she looked so classy and posh.
The women were dazzled by the diamond earrings she was wearing.
"Her name is Winnie, and she used to like Edwin, but since he liked me, she didn’t like me," Marie
explained to Leo in a whisper.
After that, she added, "I don’t like her either."
Beside Winnie was a short man who was in his late 40s. After he came in, he greeted everyone and
told them to have fun and enjoy themselves, and that he would pay for all this.
But meanwhile, his eyes were fixed on Marie and Serena as he spoke.
Winnie, however, didn’t notice anything. She sat down next to Edwin very naturally and told everyone
with a grin, "This is my husband, Reuben Harrison. He loves me so much."
Dakota and the others pretended that they didn’t catch Winnie's ostentatious exhibition of her wealth
and happiness, proposing a toast to her.
Winnie accepted it gladly and suddenly, her gaze fell upon Marie and Leo.
"Marie, is that your boyfriend? He’s just so so."
