Chapter 265: Chapter 259
Nana Ross was feeling awkward when a female classmate beside her suddenly exclaid exaggeratedly,
“Adam Willow!”
The displeasure in Nana Ross’s heart instantly vanished. She turned around with a smile to greet him, but her smile faltered halfway when she saw the woman standing next to Adam Willow.
“Why did he co, and why did he bring Sophie Parker?”
Evelyn Hanson gritted her teeth in anger. Before coming, she had confird with Nana Ross that Adam Willow was too busy to attend, which is why she dared to bring Emily to clarify.
Looking at the two of them now, she realized she had been deceived by Nana Ross.
Adam Willow was also a bit surprised, not expecting Emily Parker to attend the reunion; she never ca before, nor did he participate.
His gaze swept over the crowd and paused briefly on Emily Parker.
Sophie Parker glanced at Emily Parker beside her. This morning, Adam Willow hadn’t ntioned the reunion and hadn’t said Emily would be there.
She didn’t know that Emily Parker had now gained the board’s approval and beco the general manager of the Carter Clan.
The lighting in the banquet hall was so dazzling that it was hard for people to keep their eyes open.
Nana Ross’s smile was frozen, Evelyn Hanson’s face was ashen, and Adam Willow stood at the door without moving, his gaze drifting again towards Emily Parker.
The class president heard the commotion and ca out from the National Beauty Hall. As soon as he spotted Adam Willow, he imdiately broke into a smile, went over and patted him on the shoulder,
“Adam! It’s been ages since we last saw you!”
Just after saying this, his gaze fell on Sophie Parker beside Adam Willow and then discreetly glanced over at Emily Parker in the corner, a subtle change in his smile.
“This is my fiancée, Sophie Parker.”
Adam Willow spoke mildly, and Sophie Parker imdiately put on a sweet smile, extending her hand to the class president,
“I’ve heard Adam ntion everyone often.”
Her voice was bright, her eyes full of pride. Earlier, she had clearly seen the flicker of gossip in the class president’s eyes when he looked at Emily Parker.
“Co on in and take a seat!”
The class president scratched the back of his head, his ears slightly red.
As he stepped aside to make way, Evelyn Hanson pulled Emily Parker inside.
Inside the National Beauty Hall, everyone’s gazes swept toward the entrance in unison.
Sophie Parker, arm in arm with Adam Willow, walked in. The sound of her high heels clacked on the marble floor, each step as proud as a peacock.
The class president watched the tense atmosphere, discreetly wiping the sweat from his forehead. A simple class reunion, how did it turn into sothing like a palace drama?
He quickly called for the waitstaff to serve the dishes, but just as they were about to sit down, everyone realized, inconveniently, that there weren’t enough seats.
The class president quickly stood up, “I’ll have soone add a seat right away.”
“No need, I’m just here to say hello and then leave.”
Emily Parker stood by the table, unmoved. She usually disliked attending reunions; if not for Evelyn Hanson’s insistence, she wouldn’t have co at all.
“Emily Parker, it’s rare for us to have a class reunion, don’t be such a spoilsport.”
Nana Ross feigned warmth, stood up, and smiled as she reached out to pull her,
“It’s just a breakup, it’s not like you can’t see each other.”
She deliberately emphasized the word “breakup,” and several classmates imdiately showed curious expressions.
Just as Emily Parker was about to refuse, she suddenly felt nauseated by the strong perfu from Nana Ross.
Her face turned pale as she covered her mouth and retched.
Nana Ross scread in shock and frantically pushed her away,
“Oh my God!
What are you doing? This dress is a limited edition, can you afford to replace it if it gets dirty?”
The banquet hall fell silent instantly, and everyone looked over.
Emily Parker leaned on the table to steady herself and looked up. Evelyn Hanson was so furious that she shouted at Nana Ross,
“Why are you screaming?
Can’t you see she’s not feeling well?”
Evelyn Hanson said this and asked a server to bring a glass of water.
“If you’re not feeling well, stay ho and lie down. Why co here to embarrass yourself?
Aren’t you just finding an excuse to appear weak in front of Adam Willow?”
Nana Ross stiffened her neck, just as the server arrived with a glass of water.
Emily Parker took the glass of water and threw it right in Nana Ross’s face.
