Chapter 229 Do Not Mess Around
Virgil regretted what he said earlier as he looked at Jared with an apologetic expression. The latter, on the other hand, seemed unperturbed.
At that moment, the door to the private room opened. Sandy entered the room with a fancy dress, a pair of high heels, and an assortment of jewelry.
“Sandy’s here! You’re getting more beautiful by the day, huh?”
“That dress looks expensive, Sandy! The same goes for the necklace and earrings too!”
“She’s indeed the wife of a rich dude. Look at what she’s wearing. We can’t even begin to compare to her!”
Upon Sandy’s arrival, the others stood up and started to flatter her. It made her feel pretty good.
Actually, her dress was a cheap knockoff, and her pieces of jewelry were all fake. After Leyton kicked her out, he took everything back, including the property in Dragon Bay. If that didn’t happen, she wouldn’t have tried to get back with Jared on a rainy night.
She intentionally prepared a few fake jewelries for the class reunion because she knew some of her former classmates were still unaware that Leyton had abandoned her.
Jared was the only one who still sat on his spot when everyone else stood up. He casually took a sip from his cup.
“Jared?” It was then that Sandy noticed Jared was there.
She was shocked because no one told her he was going to attend the reunion.
“Leroy bumped into Jared and invited him to join. I hope you won’t mind, Sandy.” Seeing how she looked surprised, Juliette promptly approached her and whispered next to her ear, “It’s a good thing that this guy’s here. I’ll make him embarrass himself in front of everyone and you’ll—”
“Don’t mess around, Juliette!” Sandy glared at Juliette and reminded her.
She wasn’t sure what kind of person Jared had become, but she knew that he had connections with powerful people—those that even the Scott family couldn’t afford to mess with.
Juliette was stunned as she stared at Sandy in disbelief. She wasn’t sure what her friend meant.
Sandy walked past everyone and arrived in front of Jared. She pushed Virgil aside and said, “Shoo. I’ll sit next to Jared.”
“All right, all right.” Virgil didn’t want to offend Sandy, so he quickly stood up.
The moment that he did, Jared pulled his hand back and stared at Sandy coldly. “I hate your smell. Get as far away from me as you can.”
Everyone gasped in shock when they heard what he said. Even Virgil couldn’t help but look at Jared in bewilderment.
To their knowledge, Sandy was currently part of the rich Scott family. They couldn’t believe he had the gall to speak to her like that.
“What the hell are you doing, Jared? How dare you speak to Sandy like that! Don’t think I won’t beat you to a pulp!” Seeing how it was the perfect opportunity to butter her up, Leroy roared at Jared.
However, Sandy’s subsequent reaction surprised everyone.
She stared at Leroy coldly and barked, “Shut your mouth! You don’t get to talk to Jared like that!”
Leroy was flabbergasted. He had no idea what was going on.
After she scolded him, a bitter smile formed on her face before she spoke to Jared softly. “Then I’ll sit as far away as I can. I’m satisfied as long as I can see you.”
She then happily sat on the opposite side of Jared and smiled at him.
“Are you all right, Sandy?” Juliette whispered next to her ear while being completely befuddled.
“Shut your mouth!” Sandy glared at her again as she didn’t want things to become even worse than it already was.
A few minutes later, the dishes arrived, and everyone began to eat. Everyone tried to please Sandy while they ignored Jared and Virgil.
Sandy was the only one who treated Jared nicely as she tried to put food on his plate and even suggested that he drank less so he wouldn’t hurt his body like a good wife.
He ignored her because he knew what kind of person she was.
