Chapter 591: Chapter 586: Miss Harrison’s Sweetheart_1
On a street corner in Sunnydale, people gathered around tables outside a barbecue restaurant.
The street was brightly lit by street lamps, and the atmosphere was full of life.
The group gathered at the tables was engaged in a heated discussion.
“Hey, has Yueyue really got a boyfriend now?”
“She’s Carter Harrison’s daughter. It’s normal for her to have a boyfriend.”
“I’ve heard Carter Harrison is really rich. I envy Grace; her dreams have come true.”
Everyone had something to say about Grace Harrison.
“Just because she has a boyfriend, you’re all talking as if we didn’t have one,” a dissatisfied voice suddenly interjected.
The speaker was a girl with long, curly hair, wearing a form-fitting tracksuit that left little to the imagination.
She wore a look of disdain, shouldering the rarest bag from Brand C, arms crossed and a face full of smug superiority.
In the past, she had the best family conditions in not only the dorm but also the whole class and was the class belle – practically everyone coddled her.
Because it was an all-girls’ school, Li Qingqing had no trouble at all gaining the adoration of boys from the neighboring boys’ school being one in a hundred.
As for Grace Harrison, she was nearly invisible in the class.
No one cared about her looks. After all, she was always known for her thick bangs, wasn’t sociable, and apart from good grades, she didn’t stand out in any way.
This class reunion was initiated by Li Qingqing, with the intent to show off her husband, whom she married right after graduation, and that sense of superiority that left most others behind.
Most graduates are struggling to find a job, but not only did she join her husband’s family business straight away, but she also married into a wealthy family. What a comfortable life she leads.
“Li Qingqing, you sound a bit sour,” said the assistant class leader, always known for being forthright. “I used to think you were the richest in our class, but it turns out Grace Harrison is the real wealthy scion. Ah, we all clung to the wrong legs back in the day…”
Li Qingqing snorted: “It’s not too late, you can all cling to her now. I’d like to see if Grace Harrison even gives you the time of day.”
No sooner had the words left her mouth than someone shouted, “Grace Harrison is here!”
Everyone quickly looked toward the source of the sound and indeed saw Grace Harrison approaching from afar.
Mysteriously, she was wearing her school uniform, as if to reminisce about her high school days.
Contrasting with her chubby adolescence in high school, Grace had lost a lot of weight, and her once heavy bangs became lighter, adding an airy quality to her entire presence.
“Grace, over here!” the assistant class leader waved at Grace with a smile. “Come on, I ordered your favorite pig trotters for you.”
Grace walked over with a big grin, casually took a seat, greeted everyone, and immediately put on her gloves to start munching without another word.
The marinated pig trotters were roasted to a crisp, and the red chili powder and cumin on top made the food even more appetizing.
Li Qingqing sneered: “Grace Harrison, I heard your dad is Carter Harrison. For a rich girl like you to eat barbecue pig trotters…”
Grace swallowed what she was eating and looked at her like she was looking at an idiot: “What does me liking this have to do with whether my dad is rich or not? Just because your family has money, do you not eat regular food and survive on the precious air of nobility instead?”
“Hahaha…”
The crowd was amused by Grace’s retort.
Li Qingqing glared at Grace bitterly: “I heard you have a boyfriend now? What does he look like? Why don’t you bring him around for us to meet?”
Grace’s hand holding the pig trotter paused.
She didn’t just have a boyfriend; she had a fiancé.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
A while ago, the Thompson family invited her parents to a vacation on an island. On the first night, Damian Thompson proposed to her.
Seeing her parents’ calm demeanor, she had already guessed that they had known all along.
She had only thought about dating Damian, but he had even considered marriage.
As someone who had been single since birth, she wouldn’t refuse the man she liked.
They got engaged quickly after the proposal, the engagement ceremony was arranged swiftly, friends and family were notified, yet the news was still kept hidden from the media.
Seeing Li Qingqing’s eager-for-a-spectacle expression made Grace rather upset.
She had never liked Li Qingqing, who bullied some of the less wealthy girls by flaunting her family background, and she was one of them.
“He doesn’t like these kinds of gatherings.”
“Oh, what doesn’t he like? I think it’s more that you don’t have one,” Li Qingqing said, her laugh tinged with mockery. “With your resources, what kind of decent man could you meet? Do you need my husband to introduce you to someone? He just discussed a partnership with the Thompson Group; maybe he could introduce you to some of their good employees.”
