Chapter 82 Golden Luxe Hotel
[That makes sense, Evelyn. I'll leave it to you then. In a few days, you have to bring Lisa to the reunion! I want to see what kind of person her husband is. How could he marry a woman like Lisa?] Troy replied, seeming angry.
[Don't worry, Troy. I'll take care of it. I]ll definitely bring Lisa to you unharmed,] Evelyn messaged, followed by a cute emoji.
After a while, the group became quiet as everyone started to rest.
"Are you going to the class reunion?" Noah asked, smiling.
"I don't want to go,." Lisa shook her head and pouted. "Evelyn is something else. She promised I’d go on my behalf without even asking for my consent."
As she finished speaking, her phone rang, and it was Evelyn.
"I knew it. She's me." Lisa sighed and answered the call.
"Hello, Evelyn."
"Lisa, what were you doing? Didn't you see the chat in the group?" Evelyn asked, her voice filled with excitement.
"No, I was taking a shower and didn't have my phone with me," Lisa said.
"You missed out big time!" Evelyn lamented. "Troy just sent 140,000 dollars to the group, and I managed to grab over a thousand dollars. You weren't there, what a pity!
"Troy's dad is quite wealthy. I heard that he ranks 99th on this year's Eagleland's rich list. Keep in mind that Joshua's dad, Charles, didn't even make the cut.
"Lisa, I really don't understand why you rejected Troy back then and chose that loser Noah.
"If Troy had pursued me back then, I would have immediately said yes."
Lisa furrowed her brows. "Evelyn, did you call me just to talk about this?"
"Of course not. You have to come to the class reunion in a few days. I already said it in the group. I want to bring you along," Evelyn said.
"I don't want to go. It's too bothersome." Lisa refused.
"Lisa, are you afraid of embarrassing Noah if you bring him along?" Evelyn asked.
"No, I just don't want to go. These class reunions are all about showing off and sucking up to each other, there's no real meaning behind it," Lisa replied nonchalantly.
"But you have to go, Lisa!" Evelyn raised her voice. "I just made a bet with Troy in the group chat. If you don't go, it'll be so embarrassing for me!"
"But I really don't want to go..." Lisa wanted to refuse.
At that moment, Noah smiled and said, "Honey, just agree with her. Troy wants to see me, right? Let's go see him."
Lisa paused, glanced at Noah, and finally said, "Alright, Evelyn, I'll go."
"Hehe, I knew you'd agree, Lisa. I think you’re interested in Troy, don't you? Otherwise, you definitely wouldn't have agreed," Evelyn teased.
Lisa shook her head helplessly. If Noah hadn’t insisted, she would never have gone.
"Oh, by the way, bring Noah along too. Make sure he dresses decently, don't let him look so shabby!" Evelyn said.
Lisa couldn't be bothered to talk to Evelyn anymore and hung up.
"Why do we have to go, Noah?" Lisa looked at Noah. "It'll be so troublesome if we go!"
"We’ll just go and see. After all, they’re your classmates," Noah touched Lisa's head.
"Fine."
Lisa nodded obediently.
...
Two days later, Noah, Lisa, Evelyn, and Joshua agreed to meet downstairs at Pinnacle Wealth Management.
"Huh?" Evelyn frowned when she saw Noah. "Lisa, didn't I tell you to make sure Noah dresses decently? Why does he still look so shabby?"
She looked Noah up and down and a look of disdain appeared in her eyes.
Noah was dressed very simply, wearing a regular T-shirt, jeans, and a pair of canvas shoes he had bought online for just a few bucks. He looked fresh and clean.
"Shabby? Where do you see me looking shabby?" Noah retorted.
"Heh, the whole outfit probably doesn't cost more than two hundred bucks. Isn't that shabby?" Evelyn rolled her eyes. "When our classmates see you dressed like this at the gathering, they'll probably laugh at you."
"Don't say that, Evelyn. I think Noah is just carefree and doesn't care about what others think," Joshua said, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "I can't think like him. As for me, I have to wear Armani and Versace when I go out, otherwise, I'd be afraid of embarrassing myself."
"That's you, Joshua. Can that poor guy Noah afford Armani and Versace?" Evelyn shook her head.
"Alright, it's time. Let's go." Joshua raised his wrist to check the time, revealing his Rolex watch.
Noah and Lisa naturally drove the Mercedes-Benz.
Joshua and Evelyn, on the other hand, each drove a Lamborghini.
...
Half an hour later, the cars stopped outside the Golden Luxe Hotel, and a valet came forward to park the cars for them.
"Wow, Troy is really generous. He booked a five-star hotel for our class reunion! And he’s covering all the expenses!" Evelyn looked at the towering European-style building in front of her and clicked her tongue, feeling quite amazed.
"Troy's father, Tristan, is listed in the Forbes list of billionaires, so he's naturally very rich," Joshua said. "His family's wealth is about seven or eight times that of our family, and their total assets are estimated to be over 30 billion dollars!"
"Over 30 billion dollars?" Evelyn opened her mouth wide in astonishment. That was a number she couldn't even imagine.
"Does that mean that when Tristan dies, the 30 billion dollars will go to Troy? The woman who marries Troy will be incredibly lucky!" she exclaimed.
At the same time, in the luxurious private room on the top floor of the Golden Luxe Hotel.
The private room was spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Paintings hung on the walls, giving it an artistic atmosphere, and the floor was covered in a soft carpet, making it comfortable to walk on.
At this moment, most of the people had already arrived at the private room.
They were all young people in their twenties, both males and females, dressed quite well.
The cheapest brands among them were Adidas and Nike, while some others wore Armani, Prada, and Gucci.
A young man was seated at the most prominent position at the dining table.
He was also in his twenties, with a handsome face and distinct features. He was wearing a custom-made Louis Vuitton suit, and on his left wrist on the table was a Patek Philippe watch, reflecting the light under the ceiling.
It was Troy!
Many of his female classmates couldn't help but secretly glance at him, filled with admiration and shyness.
"Why haven't Evelyn and Lisa arrived yet?" a classmate asked.
"They should be here soon," Troy raised his wrist and checked the time, his expression calm.
"You mentioned in the group chat that you were busy with bank business. What kind of job are you doing now?" the classmate asked again.
The classmates all perked up their ears, wanting to hear what Troy had to say.
