As soon as Lauren came in and sat down, her husband, Jordan, had become the focus of their conversation. After all, in the eyes of her classmates, Lauren was a school belle.
Everyone wanted to know who the most beautiful and outstanding classmate of theirs had eventually married. It was especially the case for the boys who used to have a crush on her.
Lauren was gorgeous even when she was only in high school. She would usually wear a ponytail to school. She was taller than others her age and her pure, innocent look was extremely eye-catching.
The class president, Colton, had always carried a torch for Lauren. Lauren could be said to be the first girl he had ever had a crush on in this lifetime.
In the sophomore year of high school, Colton, who had had a crush on Lauren for the longest time, finally plucked up the courage to give Lauren a love letter to confess his feelings for her.
Lauren politely and shyly took the love letter but her family's chauffeur saw it.
Soon, the Howards found Colton's dad who worked in a certain institution.
That night, Colton's father taught him a hard lesson and told him very seriously that he was not allowed to harass or harbor any romantic feelings towards Lauren anymore. He was warned to treat Lauren only as a classmate!
From then on, Colton knew that Lauren was not from an ordinary family at all and that her status was much higher than theirs.
However, for a fifteen-year-old, the more he suppressed his emotions and tried to restrain his feelings for her, the more he couldn't stop himself and the more he adored her!
Over the years, as he grew older and learned more about Lauren's family, Colton was more and more aware that it was impossible between him and Lauren. He knew very well that Lauren would definitely marry the son of a government official or an extremely wealthy man, like Chris.
If Lauren were to marry Chris, Colton would have nothing to say. After all, it was apparent to all that he couldn't compare to the powerful Hanks at all.
However, Lauren married a man they had never heard of, and to make matters worse, he was going to be her live-in husband! It was preposterous!
Although many of his former classmates had said Lauren's husband was actually from a powerful family, there was no concrete proof to support that point.
Lauren knew that her husband's family was very secretive and had always kept a low profile. Hence, she said, "My husband is just an ordinary person who doesn't have a job. Those two pieces of jewelry were gifts to him."
Jordan had already told Lauren that the necklace did not belong to him but rather, he had gotten it from Jamie without his permission. In case Jamie wanted the necklace back one day, Lauren would have to give it back to him obediently. Therefore, Lauren did not dare to say that the jewelry belonged to Jordan.
A few of her classmates were stunned.
"Huh? They were gifts? Did your husband save the life of some rich man? Is that why he has this jewelry?"
"In my opinion, this jewelry may not be authentic. They might be counterfeit! Lauren, don't be fooled."
A female classmate hurriedly said, "What are you saying? They're authentic, you guys have no idea. The president of Vans Jewelry personally authenticated it at the wedding!"
"Not only did Lauren's husband give her those earrings and necklace, but his family also handed over the British bar business to her!"
Another female student also said with a smile, "Yes, Lauren is now the queen of British pubs! All the pubs in the UK are owned by her!"
"By the way, Lauren, I'm going to England in a few days. Does that mean that I can get free drinks when I mention your name at the bars?"
