CHAPTER 627 TOO OUT OF TOUCH

A phone call was made by Martial Maestro to investigate this matter thoroughly.

The Martial Arts Association, not to mention the fact that it is only related to martial arts, has many

other things that extend out from it.

People in power circles need to befriend powerful martial artists, that way they can ensure that their

lives are not in danger.

It was through these contacts that Martial Maestro went to look into the matter.

"This will take time, but what is certain is that there will be a result after the Northern Conference is

over today."

Martial Maestro put down his phone and said to Leo.

Leo nodded and stopped caring.

He was relieved that Martial Maestro was going to take care of this.

"Come on, young master, let's go to lunch."

For the rest of the day, Martial Arts took Leo to the special VIP dining room.

The restaurants here are sponsored by many expensive restaurants.

The Northland Conference itself is a huge signboard with great commercial impact.

It would be an investment in itself to open a restaurant within the Northern Territory Assembly.

This is why, for example, there are many restaurant companies that do not want sponsorship fees and

do so for free.

These expensive restaurants are only accessible to people of high status, such as Valenham royal

family, the Martial Maestros and Cassius, the Guardian of the Westernland.

Further down the list, there are a number of lower level restaurants, again with free sponsorship.

"Hey, isn't that your wife?"

Suddenly, Martial Maestro stopped in his tracks and pointed to a restaurant not far below, amazed.

With a puzzled look on his face, Leo also looked away.

Just below, in the dining room, Lydia was standing there, next to a young couple-looking man and

woman.

The woman looked young and pretty, but her face was heavily made up and looked too pale, as if she

had applied a thick layer of face powder, which was quite out of place.

However, she looked at Lydia with disdain, her mouth chattering and saying something else.

At the woman's words, Lydia's face turned pale but she did not speak, a helpless look in her eyes.

It was clear that she did not want to argue with them, but the other side kept on biting.

The woman also had her arm around a middle-aged man next to her in a loving manner.

The middle-aged man had the appearance of a gentleman, but his eyes were actually smiling as he

surveyed Lydia's figure.

The eyes linger for a long time, especially on some special parts.

Lydia had to keep her legs together to prevent being seen something she shouldn't be.

Leo's face immediately sank as he turned his head and said to Martial Maestro, "There's no need to

wait for me, I'll eat with my wife."

"Okay."

Martial Maestro also saw the young master's displeasure, and did not say anything as he left straight

away.

Leo walked towards there with great strides, while, in his heart, he was puzzled.

In the morning, Lydia had made it clear that she couldn't show the slightest interest in the Northernland

Conference and wouldn't come to watch the finals, but why did she come anyway?

There is a time limit for ticket checking at the Northernland Congress, and tickets can only be checked

within an hour in the morning, after which you cannot enter even if you have a ticket.

The fact that Lydia can appear here means that she entered in the morning.

However, before she could walk in, she heard the sultry woman sneer at Lydia, "Lydia, you're too out of

touch, aren't you? Everyone attended the rare reunion, but you didn't come, and you even withdrew

from the group. You've married and started your own company, so you don't think of us old classmates

anymore?"

Leo raised an eyebrow, this woman was Lydia's classmate?

Leo remembered that Lydia's university was overseas, so it could only be a high school alumnus.

Only to hear the sultry woman continue.

"We know that your company is the L Group, which is still very big, and you are now a billionaire, but so

what? You've worked so hard for so many years to catch up to what we married well?"

The sultry woman took the arm of the middle-aged man beside her and smiled smugly, "Lydia, let me

introduce to you, this is my husband, Wyatt Simpson, the vice president of Ying Huang Betting."

"Betting, you know? You can't play, in a word, that profit of your company, in front of my husband, it's

not worth mentioning, it's earned back in a day!"

"Miss Hendeson, I've heard a lot about you."

Wyatt smirked as he surveyed Lydia and extended a somewhat greasy, large hand to her.

"Hello."

Lydia's eyebrows kept raising, already on the verge of an outburst.

But good manners still kept her from exploding, yet she did not extend her hand to shake Wyatt's.

Wyatt's heart was slightly irritated, how insensitive she was!

Leo, who was not far away, listened to their conversation and was stumped for a moment. Ying Huang

Betting wasn't it the bookmaker he had asked Martial Maestro to check out?

Such a coincidence?

"Lara, people have their own way, you don't need to worry about my company's affairs."

"I have to eat, so you guys should leave me alone."

Lydia said in a nonchalant manner, giving the order of expulsion.

This sultry woman is called Lara, a native of Valenham and a high school classmate of Lydia.

It was also said to be Lydia's former roommate.

Because she was jealous of Lydia's looks, she conspired with several other roommates to isolate Lydia.

She thought she had inflicted a great deal of psychological trauma on Lydia, but unbeknownst to her,

the lonely Lydia was desperate for such peace and quiet.

However, as if she did not hear the meaning of Lydia's words, Lara did not want to leave at all, but

instead chatted more freely.

"Lydia, I heard you got married, your husband is the one who raped you five years ago, right? And you

gave him a child?"

Lara pretended to be surprised and laughed, "The whole Valenham knows it, you have not returned to

Valenham for so long, is it because of this, afraid of being looked down upon by your family, so you

dare not return?"

Lydia's face sank.

Before, no matter how much Lara flaunted her, she would not have reacted.

But when it comes to her husband and daughter, she can't stand it.

Lara was looking around as if she hadn't noticed.

"By the way, where is your husband? You've been married for five years and we still don't know what

your husband looks like?"

"Right, this is the Northland Conference, not everyone can get in, your husband is a poor man, how

can he be here?"

Lara laughed loudly and said to Lydia.

A hint of anger finally appeared in Lydia's eyes, "Lara, have you said enough?"

"Gee, Lydia, I was just kidding, why are you really angry?"

Lara then smiled and apologised, suddenly remembering something and said.

"Lydia, it's no fun to eat alone, today is the North Conference and our high school reunion, I'm the

organizer, specially set the reunion here, is it good?"

Saying that, Lara took Lydia's hand, "Come with me to the reunion, meet old classmates by the way,

have a meal together and chat or something."

Lydia's face paled and she waved it away, "Don't touch me, I'm not interested!"

Seeing Lydia resisting so much, Lara's face also looked a bit uncomfortable.

"Lydia, you are disrespectful. What if I have to ask you to go today?"

Lara's tone was harbouring a hint of anger.

Wyatt also extended an invitation to Lydia, "Miss Hendeson, to be honest, there is another reason for

Lara's reunion today, and that is that they are all begging me to take them to play betting, which is a This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
