Chapter: 791
“It’s amusing how my ex-husband’s actions become a way to mock me. which is the first time I have heard such a statement. I
guess you’re too busy chasing wealth and status to think straight.”
The crowd shifted uncomfortably, their gazes settling on Elora in disapproval.
Most of them had simple values, and to them, the one having an affair was in the wrong.
A distinct divide existed between them and Tyrone. They couldn’t possibly speak on behalf of Tyrone.
Elora tried to retort, but Lance cut in, “Enough.”
Someone quickly added, “Let’s keep the peace. We’re reuniting after a long time. Let’s not ruin it.”
“I’d Love to keep the peace, but some seem too keen on showing off. How can I stay quiet?” Bettie replied sarcastically.
“Some people just can’t swallow their pride and admit defeat, can they?
They just won’t give in!” Elora was not willing to show weakness.
“Enough of this! I think it’s about time. Why don’t you come over and take a seat? I’ll call the waiter to bring the food,” the class
representative mediated.
Heeding the advice of her classmates, Bettie settled down beside Sabrina without further comment.
With a huff, Elora gave Bettie a disdainful glance. Then, turning to Lance, her demeanor transformed into a bright smile and said,
“Come, Lance. Let’s sit here.”
The rest of the seats were filled, save for the one next to Elora, which had been intentionally kept vacant by the others.
Lance’s lips tightened, and a hint of annoyance flickered in his eyes behind those glasses. Silently, he took the seat next to
Elora.
The waiter started to lay out the food on the table.
“If any of these dishes aren’t to your liking, let me know and we can order more,” Elora said to Lance.
But before Lance could reply, a playful voice piped up, “I’m not a fan of these. Can I order more?”
“Go away!” Elora chuckled in response.
Throughout dinner, Elora continuously dropped hints about her proximity to Lance, occasionally sending challenging glances
Bettie’s way.
Bettie, unfazed, engaged in Light banter with her old schoolmates.
To the average eye, Bettie seemed to be more popular
Many single guys in attendance were drawn to Bettie for various reasons.
