Chapter 891
Summon Of The Sword
Ever since Willow walked into the private room, she had been listening about the kinds of businesses each personâs child was involved in now.
She was also updated on whose daughter had gotten married which eligible bachelor.
Based on the tales they were telling, everyone seemed to be earning at least a million dollars a year.
âThatâs rightâ¦â
Fion bobbed her head gently.
If it were not for the fact that Sean had raked in a notable sum of money, she would have refused to come at all.
âHey, Fion, why arenât you saying anything? Come on, you were one of the alpha girls back then.â
âWeâll be too scared to say anything if you arenât talking!â
A heavily madeâup middleâaged woman abruptly spoke to Fion, a smile on her face.
Fion had been one of the popular and goodâlooking girls in school when she was younger. One would not be going overboard by calling her an alpha girl.
âNo, thatâs not true.â
Fion waved her hands slightly, not wanting to make any further comments.
The middleâaged woman was Ellen Chenne, and word was that amongst all her former classmates, she was the one living most comfortably now.
She had been in charge of organizing todayâs class reunion.
However, Ellen was the sort of person who viewed her benefits as being more important than anything else. She was even worse than Fion was in this sense.
The two had been on relatively good terms before this.
However, Ellen had wanted to set her son up with Willow.
Fion was against that, and now the two were enemies.
âMom, thatâs Willow, right?â
âShe looks even better than she does in the pictures.â
The young man sitting beside Ellen smiled as he said that.
âYes, thatâs her.â
âWillow, this is my son, Finn Turner. Heâs just returned from the Union States.â
âHe furthered his education there, and has now entered the workforce.â
Ellen smiled proudly as she introduced her son to Willow.
Willow bobbed her head gently in greeting.
âMy treat today. Please enjoy your meal, everyone.â
âI noticed that the quality of local restaurants are slightly lower, and are no match at all for those overseas. Thatâs why I chose this hotel, which is still fairly decent.â
Finn smiled as he spoke, âGosh, itâs already wonderful!â
âFinn has only just returned after spending so much time overseas, Itâs not surprising he hasnât gotten used to the food back home yet.â
Gifts blinded the eyes of these middleâaged men and women, and they knew what they should say during such events. Thus, they began showering him with praises.
On the contrary, the youngsters who were in attendance with their parents felt a twinge of annoyance.
Finnâs words showed his feelings of superiority and disdain towards his home country, which the youngsters found unbearable.
However, no one was going to call him out on that.
âLook at that, Fion. I wanted to set Willow up with my son back in the day, but you objected.â
âNow, my son has a foreign girlfriend, cars, property, and savings.â
âTodayâs meal is going to cost at least six figures, but my son didnât even bat an eye.â
The more Ellen spoke, the more excited she became, and everyone sitting nearby murmured in agreement.
âOh, thatâs right. Fion, Willow isnât still single, right?â
âI heard your family took in a cripple two years ago?â
Ellen deliberately turned her features into a confused expression as she asked Fion that question.
âHe was just temporarily disabled. Heâs recovered now.â
Fion had a slight frown on her face as she explained.
âSo what if heâs recovered now?â
âWomen must learn to make wise choices for themselves!â
Ellen pursed her lips slightly before she continued talking loudly and arrogantly.
She even began comparing Finn to Sean, and her choice of words was as arrogant as they could get.
Fion had nothing else to say in return, and she picked her cup up to take a sip of tea.
âHey, this is the newest Hermès womenâs watch, isnât it? It costs over fifty thousand dollars!â
Suddenly, a middleâaged man caught sight of the wristwatch Fion was wearing.
Everyone was stunned when they heard that. Then, they noticed that Fion looked slightly different than how they had remembered her!
All of Fionâs and even Willowâs clothing and jewelry were from designer brands.
These things were worth a lot of money!
However, a contemptuous smile appeared on many peopleâs faces when they saw these luxurious items on Fion Even when rich people were wearing a shirt they got from a roadside stall, people would still think they were wearing something from a luxury brand.
However, when poor people wore authentic branded products, others would think it was fake produced in a sweatshop.
It was evident that to them, Fion belonged to the latter category.
âMy sonâinâlaw bought it.â
Fion nodded as she smiled and spoke.
âTsk, then youâll have to get a good look at it. Fakes like these can be found everywhere.â
Ellen glanced at Fion as she spoke in a dismissive tone.
Finn leaned forward and looked at it for several seconds before he said with conviction, âItâs a fake.â
âSee, even my son said so. This is a fake.â
âGosh, Fion, the purpose of the class reunion is to catch up with each other.â
âYou shouldnât use fake luxurious items just because you want to seem better than us, donât you think?â
Ellen immediately grabbed the chance to begin talking nonâstop.
A blush crept onto Fionâs face. Now, even she was suspicious that Sean had bought her a fake. 1 âLetâs eat.â
Finn spoke quietly and smoothed things over.
âItâs true that the consumption landscape in River City is not the best.â
âWhen I get the chance, Iâllâ¦â
Finn did not get the chance to finish his sentence before the door opened abruptly.
âIf you think this place is cheap, why didnât you go to Riverleaf Lakeside Hotel?â
A mocking voice rang out slowly.
âWell said! I was just about to say that.â
A young man seated nearby.Willow immediately slapped the table.Was there anyone in River City who didnot know that Riverlife Lakeside Hotel was thebest of the best in River City?Finn was the one who had booked the privateroom at Green Hotel, but he was also theone who was being picky over everything.Who the hell are you?Who let you into our room?Ellen immediately slapped the table and thrust afinger at Sean as she yelled at him.Allow me to introduce myself.I am the owner of Green Hotel.Additionally, I am Willow's boyfriend.Sean unbuttoned the top collar of his shirt ashe spoke in a calm in different tone.The room fell deadly silent when he finished speaking.
