Chapter 131


    “I’m on my way to Serene Hot Springs, Mr. Arnold. My ssmates are gonna gather there.” He just


    keeps ckmailing me. Darn it. Imma work hard and tell him to f*ck off one of these days.


    Isaac smiled, and he warmed up a little. “Have fun.” Hm, Serene Hot Springs, huh? I see. I’m


    taking the day off, so might as well take the kids on a hot spring trip. I’d like to see what she looks


    like in a swimsuit.


    He hung up, and Patricia heaved a sigh of relief. God, he’s so hard to handle. Trying to fire me


    every time I go against him is just stupid. She arrived at the hot springs about an hourter.


    Patricia got out of the car and pulled her shoulder bag closer, then she went to the lobby. It was


    merry in the lobby. Groups of people were huddled together, chatting about their lives.


    Suddenly, someone shouted, “Patricia’s here!”


    Selina came from the reception counter and hugged Patricia happily. “Finally. Everyone’s here this


    year.”


    Patricia’s high school friends huddled closer, and the tallest guy among them—Ryan Hudson—


    came up to her. “Remember me, Patricia?”

    Patricia looked at him. Tall and handsome. Yep, he’s Ryan alright, the most handsome guy back in


    high school. She smiled, “You look even hotter now, handsome.”


    He looked at thedy before him. The other girls wore beautiful clothes and makeup, but Patricia


    did not. She was in a tracksuit, but still she was the prettiest and most outstanding one of them all.


    “It’s been a while, Patricia.” Selinaughed. “Ryan, you finally got the chance to see the girl you


    want, and it’s all thanks to me. Don’t forget about your promise. Give me more deals.”


    Ryan was the president of Hudsoncorp, apany under the Hudsons, one of the aristocratic


    families in Appleby.


    Patricia cocked her eyebrow. “And I thought you invited me because you wanted everyone to be


    present. So this was all just for your business?” Wow, and I thought everyone misses me. I’m so


    stupid.


    Selina wrapped her arm around Patricia. “Don’t take it to heart, Patricia. I’m doing God’s work


    here.” She gave Ryan a wink of encouragement.


    Adeline came at the same time. She was in white fur coat, and a limited edition shoulder bag hung


    from her arm. Her heels clopped, and she waved at her high school buddies. “It’s been a while,


    everyone. I’ll be paying for everything today.”


    That was how theirmunity worked. The most sessful guy ordy would pay for their


    college ssmates in every reunion.


    A few of thedies said, “Wow, Adeline. That’s a nice coat. And this bag must have cost a ton.”


    They were astonished by Adeline’s attire, which they estimated to cost at least six figures.


    Adeline smiled. “My boyfriend got them for me. I have no idea how much they cost either.”


    The crowd gasped. “Your boyfriend got them for you? He’s loaded!”


    One of thedies, Yvonne, was Adeline’s best friend. She cocked her eyebrow and smiled. “He’s


    loaded alright. The guy’s the leader of Appleby’s biggest family.”


    Thedies gasped again. “Isaac Arnold?” they said at the same time. They did not keep their


    voices down, and their other ssmates heard them.


    “We’re counting on you now, Adeline. We’re your friends. Don’t forget about your buddies, alright?”
