Chapter 610

News of Spencer attending Charlize’s class reunion spread quickly in the class chat group.

Charlize had just finished lunch when she saw Molly and the others tagging her in their dorm chatgroup.

Charlize, what has gotten into you? Why are you attending that boring reunion? Are you going there towatch Jacqueline and the others make a fool of you?

What happened? Why was Jacqueline speaking so sarcastically in the group? She said that you havebeen doing well recently and are about to marry into a rich family. Hahaha, do you realize how funnythat sounds? Isn’t your family rich in the first place?

Didn’t you go back to university today with Spencer to attend its anniversary celebrations? Did both ofyou run into Jacqueline? But this doesn’t make sense, as she would definitely be enraged to see youand Spencer together.

Charlize had just finished lunch with Spencer and returned to the office for a break when the messagesin the group chat flooded in.

All this while, she had her university chat group on mute. Thus, she had no idea Jacqueline andKatrina, as if they were singing a duet, were speaking sarcastically about her inside the chat group.

If it wasn’t for the screenshot shared in her dorm chat group, Charlize wouldn’t have even known thatsomeone was talking behind her back.

After reading the messages from Molly and the others, she didn’t dare admit her lack of interest in the

event and that she was only attending on Spencer’s account.

Noticing that Charlize hadn’t said anything in the group in a long while, Juliette, who was enjoying herhoneymoon, tagged Charlize and asked: Charlize, why haven’t you commented in such a long time?

Feeling embarrassed, Charlize had no choice but to say something: During the university’s anniversarycelebration, I happened to run into Marcelo and Rorion.

No sooner had Charlize replied than a realization dawned upon everyone else. A barrage ofsympathetic messages came in.

It’s such a shame.

Too bad!

Don’t think too much about it. You should leave right after you show your face.

If she hadn’t run into them, Charlize could have made an excuse saying that she missed the groupmessages or was busy.

However, now that she had met them face-to-face, it would be rude of her to decline.

Right then, Charlize sent everyone a smiley face and used the opportunity to tell them that she wasabout to get some rest, after which she put down her phone.

At the rate she was being questioned, Charlize felt increasingly overwhelmed. If the other girls learned

that it was Spencer’s idea to attend the class reunion, it would definitely spark an uproar among them.

As a result, the shy Charlize decided to leave the chat first.

The reunion was being held at a five-star hotel near Jadeborough University. As Marcelo and Rorionknew of Charlize’s relationship with Spencer, they made a point to send the time and address toCharlize again.

As the reunion was to begin at seven, Charlize and Spencer had dinner before heading over.

The moment both of them arrived at the hotel entrance, they were greeted by a huge signboard statingwhere the class reunion was being held. When they arrived at a small ballroom, they were welcomedby a banner with their class’s first-ever reunion written on it.

Charlize couldn’t help but feel embarrassed at the sight of the dramatic decorations.

After graduation, Jacqueline and Katrina did reasonably well for themselves. Katrina joined a top-five-hundred investment bank and was paid a starting annual salary of two hundred thousand.

Jacqueline, whose family ran their own business, joined Prosperity Enterprise, which belonged to theJohnson family.

Since Charlize wasn’t heard of after graduation, her classmates figured that she had returned to herhometown in a third-tier city and probably joined the civil service there.

Therefore, all of them were surprised to see Charlize at the reunion, especially after all the snideremarks Jacqueline and Katrina had made in the group chat.

As for the rest of their classmates, everyone managed to earn a decent living and learned to be shrewdafter having worked for one and a half years. Therefore, most of them simply watched quietly from thesidelines as Jacqueline made sarcastic comments about Charlize.

It was, after all, none of their business, and they had no intention of getting embroiled in the conflict.

However, the situation was different for Marcelo and Rorion. Even though they were ignorant ofCharlize’s family background, both of them saw with their own eyes Charlize and Spencer holdinghands. As a result, they felt that Jacqueline was telling the truth instead of being sarcastic when shecommented on Charlize’s “success.”

Even then, the insinuation in her words was unmistakable.

“Marcelo, did you inform Charlize of the reunion? All this while, she never liked attending such events.Now that she’s about to marry into a rich family, she probably doesn’t even want to see formerclassmates like us anymore.”

Having assumed that the sarcastic words earlier were simply borne out of envy, Marcelo and Rorion,who were no fools, could clearly tell now that jealousy was the driving factor.

After the two of them exchanged glances, Marcelo frowned. “Katrina, what are you talking about?Charlize isn’t someone like that.”

Katrina broke into a smirk as she threw a glance at Jacqueline. “A beauty like Charlize clearly getspreferential treatment. Even Marcelo is speaking up for her. Jacqueline, I hope you won’t stop me fromtelling everyone what we saw at university this morning!”

Jacqueline’s brows wrinkled in response. “Katrina, I don’t think that’s a good idea. We might have beenmistaken.”

Meanwhile, Rorion couldn’t stand it any longer. “You two should stop this drama. What did you see thismorning? Why do you have to make it sound like Charlize is doing something disgraceful?”

“Rorion, we aren’t maligning Charlize. Just this morning at the university, we saw her behavingintimately with a rich man.”

“What’s the big deal about Charlize having a successful boyfriend?”

Katrina had wanted to continue but was stopped by Jacqueline with a shake of her head.

Feeling defiant, Katrina was about to speak when a voice was heard exclaiming in surprise from theentrance of the small ballroom. “Isn’t that Spencer Lacroix?”

“Is that Charlize right beside him?”

“Oh my God! Charlize and Spencer are together?”

As Charlize was led into the ballroom by Spencer, many heads turned to look in their direction. Herheart was throbbing while her hand tensed up by reflex.

Tilting his head to glance at her, Spencer tightened the grip he had on her hand. “Don’t be nervous.We’ll leave after we say hi.”

Charlize nodded in acknowledgment. Since they had already come, it would be rude not to exchangepleasantries.

Having seen the same scene earlier, Marcelo and Rorion weren’t surprised at all. Instead, theyapproached the couple, ignoring Jacqueline and Katrina. “Spencer, Charlize!”

Charlize took the orange juice Spencer had handed over as she responded with a grin. “Marcelo,Rorion.”

“Charlize, you and Spencer look like a match made in heaven.”

Marcelo’s compliment caused Charlize to blush.

In contrast to her, Spencer calmly replied, “Thank you.”

As Spencer continued forward while holding Charlize’s hand, the thirty-odd attendees were all frozen inastonishment.

The two among them who were the most shocked were none other than Jacqueline and Katrina. Alltheir classmates knew that they were mocking Charlize with their comments in the group earlier.However, instead of an old man, Charlize’s other half turned out to be their senior from university.

What made things worse was that Jacqueline, in her second year, had publicly pursued Spencer anddeclared that she would one day be the lady boss of Gratia Corporation, Spencer’s company.
