Chapter 87


Samantha had prepared a small gift for Cassey that was worth about three hundred dollars.


The gift was considered to be a very significant one, especially when Samantha’s financial status was below standards.


Cassey simply smiled and said, “You didn’t have to prepare me a gift. I’m happy enough that you’re here.”


Cassey accepted the gift and passed it to Mario. “This is a gift from Sam, Mario. Could you please take care of it for me?”


Mario smiled and hurled the gift into the trash bin without even looking at its contents, leaving Samantha stunned.


She thought Cassey would come up with all sorts of ways to try and gain her attention, so she had not expected Mario to throw away her gift so casually.


Next to her, Adrian was frowning away. He already knew that Mario was a downright “sshole the moment he threw their gift


Sawan


Cassey pulled at Samantha’s hand and said, “Come on. Let’s go inside. All of our classmates are already here.”


Samantha allowed Cassey to pull her along without saying a word.


Meanwhile, Adrian bent over to pick up the gift from the trash bin, opened it up, and stowed the contents away in his pocket before following behind the two ladies.


When Mario saw this, he could not hold in his laughter anymore and said, “What the f*ck? Are you serious? Just how strapped for cash are you?”


Adrian merely shot Mario a smile at that remark. To him, Mario was far from being worthy of his attention.


“Go ahead. Laugh as much as you want. You’ll cholor on your own laughter soon enough.‘


Adrian finally caught up to Samantha, who was already in the main hall. There was a round glass table with sofas around it filled with both men and women.


These young people happily chatted away as they ate the hors d’oeuvres provided. Cassey pulled Samantha over with a smile and said, “Everyone! Look who I’ve brought with me!”


Everyone turned their heads and gasped in surprise when they saw Samantha.


“Sam, is that you? It’s been so long.”


“You used to be the prettiest girl in our university!”


“Is it true that you’re married to Henry Xander’s deadbeat son?”


Both Samantha and Adrian seemed rather popular in Swallowston but in a negative light


With a smile, Cassey said, “Of course, it’s true. See. Her deadheat husband’s here with her, isn’t he? He’s here to have something good to eat since I doubt he can afford anything better.”


Everyone covered their mouths to hide their laughter while Samantha felt extremely awkward.


A few of her former classmates stood up. The ones who were not well off remained silent, not daring to say anything Meanwhile, the ones who were well–off walked up to her..


One of them was a young man called Dickson Kramer. He smiled and said, “It’s been quite a few years since we last met, Sam. I used to chase after you so fervently in the past, but you kept on rejecting my acances.


‘But look at us now. I’m the boss of my own company while you’re down in the dumps.


“I just can’t figure out what you see in tais deadbeat.”


Dickson pointed toward Adrian.


Chapter 87


Dickson was a member of the Kramer family, and his company was a medium–sized enterprise in Swallowston,


He had tried to pursue Semantha romantically numerous times in the past but got rejected every time. His sudden revelation of this caused Samantha to feel at a loss.


She threw him a wry smile and said, “That’s all in the past now.”


“So, do you regret it? I could take you in as my lover if you want. How about it? I promise to give you a sum that you’ll be satisfied with,” Dicleson arrogantly proposed.


“Hahaha! Dickson’s really rich now, Sam. You should count your blessings that he’s willing to take you in as his lover.”


“That’s right, Sam!”


Dickson’s friends started laughing uproariously
