As the male lead of this hoo-ha, the man who had horn-rimmed glasses, broke the silence, asking sincerely, “Skylar, I’m Jackson. Have you forgotten about me?”
Lily’s eyes gleamed in excitement as she exclaimed, “What? Does that mean both of you are acquainted? Great! Fate must have brought you guys together again!”
Skylar started sizing Jackson up after she heard his name. After racking her brain, she finally recalled the identity of the man in front of them.
Jackson was her classmate who had always taken a seat by her side back in their junior high school days. She once received a confession letter from him during their senior high school days.
It had been so many years, yet he hadn’t changed a single bit. He still had the same geeky look.
During their school days, students were arranged into different classes based on their family backgrounds. Since they were both from a relatively normal background, they were treated as outcasts of the school and dispatched to a relatively subpar class.
She could vividly recall the tough condition of Jackson’s family back in the day. Yet, he seemed different as compared to the last time they met. He was dressed up lavishly as though he was from a well-off family.
The confused Skylar replied indifferently, “I guess I do.”
Jackson responded with a goofy smile and indicated his intention to engage in a conversation with Skylar in private.
The rest of the party thought things would work out between them just fine because they caught a glimpse of Jackson’s smile.
Sharon couldn’t suppress her joy anymore as she started planning the distribution of the wealth she would soon acquire.
Three hundred thousand! I’ll never give Skylar a hundred fifty thousand! If worse comes to worst, I’ll give her thirty thousand and chase her off!
As long as I get my hands on the three hundred thousand, I won’t have to wrack my brain to collect the fees for my sons’ education anymore!
Jackson went after Skylar with his head hanging low.
In the end, Skylar stopped by an ice cream store and got herself a serving of ice cream and a bottle of soda.
