CHAPTER 471 EDWIN GILL WENT NUTS
Dakota, Billie, Abigail and other classmates gradually relaxed because of what Winnie said and
congratulated to Edwin smilingly.
“Edwin went out on his own the earliest and is certainly the most successful one among us.”
All the dishes had been served and the waiter said clearly that all these delicacies and two bottles of
fine Romanee Conti were complimentary thanks to a distinguished guest here.
Who deserved to be treated this way except for Edwin?
Marie and Serena turned to Leo automatically.
If all these dishes were free of charge because of Edwin, why weren’t them delivered in the first place?
Moreover, they were sent in after Leo went out.
Marie and Serena immediately widened their eyes, “Leo, it’s you…”
Leo waved his hand, “Don’t spill the beans.”
Though Marie wanted to say it out loud to earn some appreciations, but Leo didn’t want it, so she had
no choice but to remain quiet and admired Leo even more.
“Edwin, now you are the most favorite person of Mr. Palmer and we are such great friends, you would
definitely help my husband out, right?”
Winnie suddenly changed the subject and even caressed Edwin’s arm suggestively.
Winnie had a crush on Edwin back in school before and it seemed like this affection hadn’t changed
and she married Reuben just for the money.
Reuben’s face darkened a bit, but he pretended that he hadn’t seen Winnie’s move and chimed in,
“Winnie is right. You were classmates that once supported each other. You wouldn’t just ignore us,
right?”
Edwin knitted his brows.
He didn’t know why, but he was under immense pressure seeing those delicacies and two bottles of
Romanee Conti.
“Wait a minute!”
He hurriedly waved his hand, “Did you say that these dishes are complimentary because of me?”
“Right! Who could it be then?”
Winnie giggled, “You are Mr. Palmer’s favorite now.”
Edwin sunk into silence and didn’t respond Winnie and just stood up.
“I got to use the bathroom.”
He then fled out of the private room.
The chat in the room went on and Winnie started recalling the amorous stories of Edwin back in
school.”
Marie had zero interest and suddenly found that Leo had also went out.
When she just wanted to find him, Serena pulled her hand and shook her head.
While in the luxurious bathroom, Edwin was splashing cold water on his face.
He looked himself in the mirror and let out a self-deprecating smile.
‘Those dishes are free of charge because of him?’
How hilarious and fake.
He only met Brooke a few times before and why on earth would he send him free delicacies and
vintage wines?
There must be someone more powerful than him in the private room!
A person then went in and stood behind him.
Edwin’s face changed when he saw his face clearly.
“It’s you. You are Marie’s boyfriend, right?”
Leo smiled and nodded.
Edwin hurriedly cleared the way.
Leo turned on the tap, but he didn’t wash his hand and just checked himself in the mirror.
“I’m not Marie’s boyfriend.”
Leo spoke up.
Edwin paused and was surprised, “Then why would you...”
“I’m her brother-in-law.”
Edwin then understood what happened.
“Marie feared that she might be awkward here, so she just brought me here, but she was even more
embarrassed.”
Leo cracked a smile and took out a pack of cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Edwin, “Do you
smoke?”
Edwin hesitated a bit and took it.
His hand suddenly shook when he saw the package and even dropped the cigarette that Leo handed
to him.
The army green package was imprinted with a mortar design.
“It’s... It’s the special cigarette from action zone...”
The mortar-designed ones were discontinued now and only the top leaders of action zone got to smoke
it.
Edwin turned to Leo shockingly.
‘Is this man related to the action zone?’
Leo can somewhat guess what Edwin was thinking about right now, but he didn’t laugh at Edwin’s
clumsiness when he dropped the cigarette and just handed him another one.
“Thank... thanks.”
Edwin took the cigarette shakenly and lighted it up.
After hesitating for a bit, he wanted to light Leo’s cigarette.
He didn’t even know why he did that. It seemed like just a conditional reflex.
But Leo just declined, “I have the lighter myself.”
They then started smoking together.
Edwin then started coughing violently for the special cigarette from action zone was quite pungent.
“Take it slow. You won’t get used to its smoke for a while.”
Edwin let out a wry smile and continued, “Embarrassed? I don’t think that you made her awkward.”
He witnessed the whole scene and Leo had never been really irritated when Dakota and Billie taunted
him or Winnie pushed things too far.
Leo was like an outsider and watching a show.
Leo let out a smile and didn’t say anything.
Edwin added, “Those dishes and wines are served because of you, right?”
Leo puffed the cigarette avidly for he really missed this smell.
Leo threw the cigarette butt into the ash tray till it died out and said, “Though that Winnie was
condescending, there was at least one sentence that she said was right. It’s important to know who you
should befriend with.”
“You know the power of this sentence better than me.”
Then he waved his hand and just went back.
Edwin remained silent for a while and examined the special cigarette in his hand.
After putting it out, he also entered the private room.
Winnie immediately sneered when she saw Leo and Edwin going in the room the one behind the other.
“Marie, how shameless is your boyfriend? He must have followed Edwin into the bathroom and wanted
to butter him up.”
Edwin yelled before Marie said anything as he was displeased.
Leo just returned to his seat like it had nothing to do with him and went on enjoying the dishes.
Winnie paused a bit and shut up unwillingly.
But then she let out a smile to Edwin mysteriously, “Edwin, I know that you are trying to be low-profile
and doesn’t want other people to know your relationships with Mr. Palmer, but we are at an alumni
reunion here, so you can show off whatever you have!”
Edwin suddenly got a weird feeling and grabbed Winnie’s arm, “What did you do!” All content is property © .
He stared at Winnie and looked horrible.
Winnie froze for a second and then flung Edwin’s arm away and chuckled, “Well, nothing really. I just
wanted to express my gratitude to Mr. Palmer in person since he sent all the stuff here and just asked
the manager of the Spaerrace to invite him over.”
Hearing Winnie’s words, Edwin instantly got wooden.
At the very next second, his face darkened and clenched his teeth together, “Winnie, do you know what
the fuck you just did?”
Winnie was alarmed and answered, “Nothing! I just invited Mr. Palmer over so that we can have fun
together.”
“I...”
Edwin was about to go nuts.
He barely knew Brooke!
As they were talking, a fit of hasty sound of leather shoes pounding against the floor came in.
