Chapter 57
High School Reunion at the Royal Hotel. Although the place is not as luxurious as a revolving restaurant, the table reservation fee is at least ten to twenty thousand. The Royal Hotel is considered a fine restaurant.
For someone who receives an average salary, eating there will cost three to four months of their monthly income. Not everyone in their class is so lucky in life. Some are fine, while others barely put their lives together.
Several men in suits greeted the newcomers near the hotel entrance.
They huddled around Porsche Panamera Chloe upon his arrival.
"Oh? Isn't this the prettiest girl in our class? I hear you make a few million a year. I think that's right because you drive a Porsche!" Some male classmates start bootlicking.
Chloe smiled embarrassedly after hearing the compliment.
But the smiles on everyone's faces froze as they watched Levi get off the passenger seat.
They did not expect Levi to attend the reunion, let alone come to the venue with Chloe.
"Oh, that's Levi, the influential figure of the time." A well-dressed man broke the awkward silence. He's the class supervisor, Jed Barrett.
Even though he was a class monitor, Levi had always outperformed him in the past. So Jed spends his youth chasing Levi, trying to match Levi's achievements.
Jed successfully entered one of the top universities and is currently working in a multinational company after graduation. He is rumored to be getting a few million a year as well.
Jed's car is an expensive Range Rover. He was one of the high achievers in the class.
Levi greeted him with a smile.
"We thought you weren't coming, Levi." Some of the other classmates asked in surprise.
Jed rolled his eyes at the person asking the question. "Levi is not a narrow-minded person. He's not the one who wants to be bothered with his current situation."
"You're right. Levi is a tough guy. We'll never be able to reach his standards." The other classmates laughed.
They implied Levi's presence as a show of his helplessness.
Jed walks past Levi and stops in front of Chloe. "You're finally here, Chloe. Come on, follow me to the room now. Everyone's waiting for you."
Jed is interested in Chloe. She knew Chloe was still single, so she purposely arranged the meeting because she had the ability and qualifications to pursue her.
Everyone swarmed around Chloe and ignored Levi.
"Can we?" Chloe stops to talk to Levi before she follows them to the hotel.
Many people had already arrived at the third floor of the Royal Hotel.
Some of them even brought their partners along. So the venue was much more lively than Levi had expected.
Everyone stood up to welcome Chloe, especially the men.
Chloe is a beautiful, successful beauty, after all. So he shone brighter than ever in everyone's eyes.
Levi looked for a random seat and sat down.
"Did my eyes deceive me? Isn't that Levi?" One of the men, Wayne Warren, exclaimed. "This is really him. Levi is here!"
Everyone turned to look at Levi all of a sudden.
Levi was once the most prosperous among his peers, the dark horse in the city's business world right after he graduated from university. He was a man with a net worth of over a billion, admired by women and envied by men.
But after his downfall at the hands of the Garrison family, Levi became the most despicable person on everyone's mind. They rebuked and insulted him just as they had looked at him in the past.
