Eleanor Hollis’s outfit was indeed stunning. You could see that each piece was expensive, but when put together, they didn’t compete for attention and instead looked pleasing to the eye.
The two diamond studs on her earlobes added a touch of glitz to her persona.
Lan Yancy opened the car door, his eyes filled with amusent.
"This was arranged by the president, to make look decent too. They even bought a new suit, thanks to you, Miss Hollis."
Eleanor Hollis noticed that Lan Yancy’s suit had changed, and he had even styled his hair.
With his physique and looks, he’d be a total heartthrob if he were on the street.
That man truly knows how to satisfy a woman’s vanity.
Thinking this, Eleanor’s lips curled into a smile.
"Many people at this gathering will try to put down. Everyone thinks I’ve had a tough ti these years. They want to know how tough. I never attended past reunions, but this ti a teacher proposed it. That teacher took good care of in high school and was truly a ntor. She’s sick now, and her days are numbered, so I must go this ti."
Eleanor said slowly, staring blankly at the street scenes outside.
"Miss Hollis, don’t worry, no one will dare give you a hard ti."
With her attire, anyone with a discerning eye could see her extraordinary status. It’s unlikely anyone would dare challenge her.
anwhile, in the hotel private room, the forr classmates from high school had already gathered and were exchanging pleasantries.
Anyone who has attended such reunions should know there’s a lot of competitiveness hidden within. Everyone boasts about their achievents over the years, seeking envious looks that satisfy their pride.
Everyone knew that Sasha Morgan was the most successful in their class. Sasha now owned her own company and, they heard, was dating a second-generation wealthy boyfriend.
Interestingly, Sasha Morgan used to complain about Eleanor Hollis in the group chat, but recently she had been unusually quiet, almost as if she didn’t exist.
"Sasha, what’s up with you? You used to dislike that Eleanor Hollis. Why haven’t you spoken up in the group lately?"
When Sasha heard ntion of Eleanor Hollis, her heart jolted reflexively, recalling their unexpected eting that night, which still sent shivers down her spine.
It turned out that when Eleanor was in college, she beca pregnant with a super-rich guy’s child. That guy adored her, and they had a cute son who was very protective. Eleanor had suddenly beco a top-tier wealthy wife.
The car from that night – even her boyfriend couldn’t afford it. She discreetly took a photo of the car.
When her boyfriend saw the car, his face went pale and said that it had the Quinton Family’s plate number.
He repeatedly warned her to avoid provoking the car’s owner if she didn’t want trouble for her company.
Despite her reluctance, Sasha couldn’t afford any issues for her company, which she built over several years.
Though she was arrogant, she wasn’t impractical. Years of hard work had llowed her character, and she couldn’t let her personal grudges jeopardize her company.
"I advise you all to be cautious in front of Eleanor Hollis later. My previous information was indeed wrong. She did drop out of college, but she married a top-tier wealthy man. She’s long been a noblewoman, and the man adores her. She even bore him a son. Her position is very secure now. If I continue to oppose her, my company wouldn’t survive. Don’t say I didn’t warn you."
Sasha’s voice was calm, resigned but accepting reality.
Everyone was surprised by her attitude.
And, judging by her tone, she wasn’t joking.
So, Eleanor Hollis dropped out because she married a top-tier wealthy man?
Into an elite family?
"Sasha, maybe your information is wrong too. If Eleanor dropped out, wouldn’t she only have a high school diploma? What elite family accepts a woman with just a high school diploma? You’re overestimating her."
Sasha shot the woman a fierce glance.
"Do you think I don’t want to cause her trouble? I hate her more than anyone, but last ti, my car collided with a luxury car, and it turned out to be Eleanor Hollis’s. It cost several million dollars, with identical number digits on the plate. In this day and age, soone driving such a luxury car surely has a remarkable identity."
The room fell silent. Serenford indeed had many wealthy people, but to bring out a luxury car costing several million dollars, apart from those elite’s offspring, there really weren’t other possibilities.
"So Eleanor Hollis truly has beco an elite wealthy wife?"
Sasha nodded, looking sowhat lancholy.
"I showed the car plate to my boyfriend, and he warned : if I want the company to survive, I shouldn’t provoke her. So, I advise you all to watch your words to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Everyone knew Sasha’s boyfriend was a wealthy figure in Serenford, and if even he said so, it seed Eleanor Hollis really had stepped into high society.
Many won at the gathering had initially wanted to make things difficult for Eleanor, but hearing Sasha’s words, they instantly backed down and wished to stay far from her.
Soon enough, the private room’s door was pushed open, and everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
Upon seeing it wasn’t Eleanor, but Teacher Warren, their raised tension abruptly dropped – such excitent.
Teacher Warren was one of the few good teachers, revered by everyone. This was the reason they rushed from all over the world upon hearing her illness.
"Quite a turnout this year. Eleanor called earlier, saying she’s on her way. Seeing you all, I’m reminded of when you were still seventeen or eighteen-year-olds. It’s surprising how quickly everyone has changed."
Teacher Warren sat down, smiling warmly, though unable to hide her pallor.
Everyone imdiately started chatting with her, sharing snippets casually.
They were itching with curiosity, hoping Eleanor would walk in sooner – what does a woman who has married into elite wealth look like?
Soon, Eleanor Hollis walked in, and it seed as if a beam of light shone on her, making all the luxurious decorations on the door seem insignificant.
Her outfit was dazzling, a sky-blue cape dress exuding elegance and nobility.
