Chapter 164
This made them stop in their tracks. They exchanged gazes before Victoria took her arm and
nodded. Composing themselves, both of them held their head highs and their chest lifted as they
entered.
"I didn''t expect her to be here. I heard that Jeremy ising today with Lindsay! How embarrassing
would it be if they meet each other?"
"I heard that Lindsay is pregnant! Is it true that the two of them are going to get engaged?"
"She said it herself, how can it be false? The pair must be here together today. This is a five- star
hotel, how shameless is she toe in such a bad state!"
The crowd was talking amongst themselves. Victoria took the initiative and spoke out, "What is
there to be embarrassed abouting here? St. Abbott University does not only ept noble
students or the rich. Even if she is not in a good condition now, she was still your schoolmate."
She spoke confidently, which attracted everyone''s attention right away. Almost everyone turned
their heads at the same time. The next moment, everyone eximed in surprise.
"Wow!"
Although they had graduated from university for only three years, everyone had changed a lot!
That day, Alicia hadn''t nned to dress up. However, after discussing with Victoria, she went home
to choose an outfit. It was a ck bodycon sweater and a pastel- colored mermaid skirt. Her
exquisite figure was undoubtedlyplimented by the outfit. Other than the mismatched butterfly
earrings, she had no other essories on her.
After all these years of suffering, her arrogance had faded a lot. She appearedposed and more
mature, her beauty outstanding from those of others.
As for Victoria, she wore a white fur blouse with a pair of slim ck trousers. She had deliberately
avoided wearing a dress or a skirt. Neither of them wore heavy makeup but as they stood next to
each other, they were beautiful in their own unique styles.
They were still as pretty as before, befitting the title of ''Twin Beauties'' back in St. Abbott University.
After three years of torture, Alicia''s charm hadn''t worn out at all. In fact, she had be even more
attractive. In an instant, all the men''s eyes lit up as their jaws dropped. As for the women, they were
stunned and envious; some even had ugly expressions.
At this time, there was a suddenmotion from the entrance. The two turned around and saw
Jeremying in with Lindsay holding his arms. Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar again.
Unconsciously, Alicia clenched her fists.
Lindsay walked forward slowly with a loose dress that was fitted for pregnantdies. It was as if she
wanted to dere to the world that she was with child. She was looking proud and arrogant like a
leader weing her subordinates. She even waved her hand while greeting the people.
"Hello everyone, it has been a long time since west saw each other!"
Alicia and Victoria exchange gazes, both uncontrobly repulsing this sight. Jeremy didn''t expect
Alicia to show up. He caught a glimmer of light by her ears and almost at the same time, he
withdrew her hand from Lindsay''s waist.
At this time, a tart female voice suddenly sounded.
"It''s really lively today. All the celebrities in our school are here, right? Jeremy, we haven''t seen each
other in ages but you''re still as handsome and charming as before! You deserve to be called the
most handsome man in our institution! Your taste is getting better and better!"
Taking a step forward, the woman rolled her eyes at Alicia. She then eximed loudly, "Linds, I
haven''t seen you in so long!"
Looking sideways, Alicia only saw that it was Lena Brown.
It was unforeseen that she was also in Casterwich City. She was wearing a sleeveless pale yellow
dress. It was very ostentatious but the dress had highlighted all the ws of her figure. Both Alicia
and Lena hadn''t gotten along back in Bayton City. Alicia smiled at her and remained silent.
On the other hand, Jeremy''s expression fell slightly.
However, the women who couldn''t stand having their spotlight stolen away by Victoria and Alicia
started speaking up.
"Yes! It''s been a long time. Linds looks beautiful now that she''s in love; she looks like apletely
different person!"
"Alicia, didn''t your family go bankrupt? How did you even afford branded clothes? I heard that their
clothes cost at least 100,000 dors! Are you wearing a fake designer brand or are you leeching off
from some rich, old men?"
"No wonder the groom had to go back on his word at the wedding—"
"You can''t be too egotistical and vain. If you are poor, you should just admit it! We won''tugh at
you. What''s the point of being so arrogant?"
"Hey, your earrings are also of an expensive brand. It''s a pair of butterfly earrings and it costs
hundreds of thousands of dors, right? Did you use all of your effort to especially dress up for
someone?"
"That''s right! Butterflies are a symbol of love!"
As expected, the taunts came one after another. Before Alicia could respond, Victoria had taken the
initiative to respond in anger.
"Are you guys done?"

Unexpectedly, the same words came out of Jeremy''s mouth at the same time.
In an instant, everyone was shocked. Lindsay''s expression fell as she pulled on Jeremy''s arm but
still she put on a smile.
"We are all here for the gathering, we shouldn''t mention the past! It''s not easy for Ally, she is
working so hard now. She is now a senior interpreter! Jeremy is also too soft-hearted..."
Victoria immediately huffed in anger as soon as she heard Lindsay''s words. Lindsay was obviously
trying to mock Alicia by revealing her current upation.
"At least Alicia earns her own money, unlike some people who only leech off from others! Listen up,
every single one of you. Stop being foolish! Oh, I''ve just noticed that my bracelet also has a butterfly
charm! Am I also here to show off my love for someone?"
Holding Victoria''s hand, Alicia felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She winked at Victoria and then
turned to everyone else.
"Vicki, you don''t have to do that for me. My clothes are indeed 18 thousand dors, my earrings are
30 thousand dors, and my shoes are at least 50 thousand dors... Not everyone can just leech
off from others even if they wanted to! Oh, yes, I''m also driving a million- dor Bentley! I have to
thank someone for abandoning me and letting me meet my old man, so that I can live so poorly!"
Although she wasn''t rich at the moment, Alicia had still grown up in a wealthy family. She could
easily recognize the luxury brands and she could also estimate the price points.
After scanning her surroundings, she found that amongst the many women in the crowd, their outfits
couldn''t even be worth the price of her earrings. Even though she had made up the price of her
shirt, ording to what someone else had remarked previously, she guessed that it was indeed
expensive.
After all, women would always mock others when it had nothing to do with them, especially if they
were jealous.
Her words proved that she was living a much more luxurious life than all the people present.
Moreover, she was showing a dazzling smile. She looked gorgeous and everything about her
proved that she was living a good life!
There was no doubt that her words caused everyone''s mouth to seal up. Everyone''s mockeries
instantly lost their edge.
The world was indeed pathetic. It would onlyugh at the poor, but not the wh*res.
In fact, Alicia didn''t feelfortable.
Sure enough, the murmurs had been lowered by more than half. Both Jeremy and Lindsay looked
embarrassed.
Soon, everyone danced and chatted away. Many men surrounded Alicia and Victoria. The
atmosphere gradually became harmonious as everyone started mixing around, having a good time.
As soon as Frederick got out of the car, he saw a familiar white Bentley and thought, "Isn''t that
Alicia''s car?"
