Chapter 130


    Yasmine Taylor''s heart tightened and she rushed forward to exin, "Lily, please don''t


    misunderstand anything. I almost fell down just now and President Jules just happened to pass by


    so he was just helping me up."


    Lily Adams smiled bitterly and said, "Misunderstand what though? I''m not in the position to


    misunderstand anything, right? So don''t say things like this anymore."


    Scott Jules approached them and said in amanding tone, "Tonight, an important person will


    celebrate his 60th birthday. You two, Teacher Zaneson and Mr. Fallon will attend the event with


    __ _ ii


    me.


    "I''m not going."


    Lily refused without a second thought.


    "You can''t refuse, this person is a big name in the education industry. His words are enough to


    change a person''s life, so I nned to invite him to our school to give a speech to the students."


    "Then you can go by yourself. Why are you asking the teachers to go with you?"


    Yasmine was puzzled.


    "Both of you don''t know this person well. What he hates the most is money, so I may not be able to


    invite him over with money. That would mean that I can only try other ways." "Who is it? Is there


    anyone who doesn''t like money these days?"


    Lily shrugged as she forced a smile on her face.


    "Of course, the more respectable the person is, the more he dislikes money. He will possibly ept


    our request only if we share amon topic with him."


    "But what can we do there?"


    "The four of you are elite teachers in our school, and each of you have your own strengths. Miss


    Taylor is good at literature, Miss Adams is good at painting, Teacher Zaneson is good at


    archaeology, and Mr. Fallon is good at astronomy and geography. These are the areas that this


    person is very interested in, so the purpose of taking the four of you to attend his birthday party is


    self-exnatory."


    "This task seems to be a little heavy, and we may not be able toplete it."


    "Let''s try our best then. If we really can''t do it then there''s nothing we can do about it. The


    graduating students throughout the country are under a lot of pressure now so it is likely that not


    only our school will want to invite him. Tonight, there will be representatives from other schools who


    will be attending the event as well so we must do our best, even if the result might not be as we


    wish."


    As Scott spoke, the expression on his face was very serious. Lily and Yasmine immediately realized


    that the person who they were going to invite was very important for the benefit of the school.


    Although they didn''t have a lot of confidence in it, they made up their minds that they would try their


    best.


    At half-past four in the afternoon, Yasmine received a call from Sebastian Simons. "Hello, what time


    are you getting off work?"


    "Five o''clock, but you don''t have to pick me upter." "Why?"


    "I have a social event to attend tonight."


    "A social event?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows and asked, "What kind of social event would you


    have as a teacher?"


    "I''m attending on behalf of the school and it''s very important."


    "Don''t tell me it''s Scott''s idea?"


    "Yes, it was indeed proposed by Principal Jules, but I''m not the only one who will be attending the


    event.


    I will be attending with another three teachers, including Lily."


    Upon hearing that, Sebastian instantly breathed a sigh of relief. "Do you really have to go?"


    "Yes."


    He sighed and said, "Actually, I have an important banquet to attend tonight too. I wanted you to


    apany me, but now it seems like it''s impossible."


    Yasmine was not interested in his social activities and thought that they were just social games


    yed by rich people, so she proposed casually, "Why don''t you ask Fynn to apany you? It''s


    the secretary''s duty anyway."


    "The point is that Fynn is a man. Generally speaking, on such an asion, I have to bring a woman


    as my partner." Oh, so it was indeed a money game of the upper ss.


    She snorted and said, "It''s notpulsory to bring a woman. Just let him apany you. That''s it.


    I''ll hang up now."


    At five o''clock, Yasmine, Lily, and two other teachers followed Scott to the ce of the birthday


    banquet.


    After getting out of the car, Yasmine and Lily immediately looked at each other. The towering vi in


    front of them was like a pce of the European royal family. It was absolutely magnificent. There


    were countless high-end cars parked at the porch, and most of them were famous brands. Looking


    at the people who were present at the banquet, one could tell that this person was really a big shot.


    "Come with me."


    Scott took out the invitation letters that his mother had spent a lot of effort to get for him and led


    them into the banquet hall of the vi. As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Yasmine was


    dazzled by the decorations of the vi. She had always thought that the decorations at the Mansion


    House were already luxurious enough, but she did not expect that there would be a ce that was


    even more luxurious than the Mansion House.


    The hall was big enough to amodate around six hundred people, and everyone had their own


    seat, which waspletely different from those banquets that Sebastian had taken her to. More


    importantly, all the people who came here were dressed formally. Men were in suits, while women


    were all wearing professional attire. They continued to look around but they could not find a woman


    wearing a revealing evening dress.


    The elegance of this banquet could be easily shown through the attendees'' appearances.


    Yasmine, Lily, and the others sat in the third row. Looking at the guests who were continually


    entering the hall, Lily was very nervous. She quietly leaned over and asked Yasmine, "Do you think


    President Jules will make us go on stage to show our skills in order to gain the interest of this


    important person?"


    "I don''t think so."


    "It''s best if he doesn''t. Otherwise, I''ll just find a hole to hide myself in it."


    "Why?"


    "Because it would be so embarrassing. I''ve never performed in front of so many people and, well,


    look at these people! They are either rich or of high-status so I''m sure that there hasn''t been a


    famous painting they haven''t seen before! I will only embarrass myself with my insignificant skills."


    "Don''t worry, I don''t think that''ll happen. There are so many people here, if each of them were to go


    up to perform, then the banquet wouldn''t even end in a month''s time."


    "You''re worried too, aren''t you? If he asks you to recite a poem or whatnot, I think it''ll be


    embarrassing too."


    Yasmine smiled and said grumpily, "I think it would still be better than Mr. Fallon''s astronomy and


    geography."


    "Pfft!"


    Lilyughed so hard that she almost lost control. She covered her mouth and said painfully, "As


    soon as Mr. Fallon goes up, I guess all the people here would have already run away."


    "Why?"


    "Earthquake."


    "Pfft!"


    The two of them wereughing uncontrobly. Mr. Fallon, who was sitting next to them, was a man


    in his fifties with a pair of ck-framed sses. Fie would often joke with his colleagues in the office


    that there will be an earthquake tomorrow. Over time, he was given the nickname— Earthquake.


    "Oh, hey, isn''t that your husband?"


    Lily suddenly stoppedughing and pointed to the handsome man dressed in a branded suit in front


    of her. Yasmine followed the direction of her finger and found that it was really Sebastian, who was


    apanied by Fynn Jaymond.


    "Why is he here?"


    "I don''t know. I''ll go and ask him."


    Yasmine stood up, walked through the crowd, and arrived at the first row. The first row was all VIP


    seats, which were personally invited by the host himself. They were unlike Yasmine''s group, who


    came here with ordinary invitations.


    "Fley, why are you here?"


    She patted on Sebastian''s shoulder, and he turned his head instinctively. When he saw Yasmine, he


    was stunned for a long time before he could react to her sudden appearance... "Idiot, I''m asking you


    something."


    That was when Sebastion came back to his senses and asked her, "Is this the social event that you


    mentioned?"


    "That''s right. Is this the banquet that you''re talking about?"


    "Yes."


    Sebastian nodded and said to Fynn who was sitting beside him, "You, go to the back."


    "Why?"


    When Fynn saw the huge crowd behind him, there was an obvious unwilling look on his face.


    "Can''t you see that Mrs. Simons is standing right here?"


    Fynn reluctantly stood up and gave the seat to Yasmine. Before he left, he did not let himself miss


    the chance to ridicule them. "Be careful. A few hundred pairs of eyes are watching you."


    "What''s the rtionship between you and the host?"


    Yasmine sat down and quietly asked Sebastian.

    "Fle''s my mentor. Fie had given me a lot of inspiration in the past."


    "So, both of you have a good rtionship with each other?"


    Yasmine was secretly delighted. It seemed that with Sebastian''s help, it shouldn''t be difficult to


    invite this important person to the school to give a speech.


    "Not bad."


    "Could you do me a favor then?" "What favor?"


    Just as Yasmine was about to speak, she saw a figure walking in from the entrance. Her face


    instantly darkened. When Sebastian saw Yasmine''s face, he doubtfully looked to the direction of her


    eyes. When he saw Abigail Tanner, he immediately exined, "Please don''t misunderstand


    anything. Her appearance has nothing to do with me."


    "Then what is she doing here?"


    "How would I know? I told you that it had nothing to do with me."
