Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1471

There were approximately fifteen people at each table.

They had already finished ordering food. In fact, some had already begun to eat.

Annabeth Cates felt a little uncomfortable looking at that scene before her.

She arrived ten minutes ahead of the appointed time, and that meant she wasn’t late.

Logically speaking, they should’ve waited for her briefly even if everyone else had arrived.

However, they didn’t…

Never mind that they ordered the dishes, but they had even begun to eat.

Annabeth could sense deeply how this group of people were ignoring her.

At one glance, she felt that many of them looked unfamiliar.

She needed to look at them harder to identify who each of them was.

After graduating from middle school for so many years, everyone’s face had changed due to age.

Some had undergone cosmetic surgery, while others grew plump. Some lost weight and became thinner.

The only person who hadn’t changed was Julie Huckleberry, who sat close to the door.

When Julie saw that Annabeth had arrived, she quickly stood up and walked up to Annabeth. Julie then directly pulled her closer to everyone who was eating hotpot. “Look who’s here…”

When everyone saw Annabeth, they stood up and politely welcomed her.

However, they all had a nonchalant attitude.

Annabeth could sense once again how these people looked down on her.

To be honest, she could understand their behavior.

Once everyone grew up, they weren’t as naïve as they once were.

In the world of adults, there were hierarchies.

People would behave in a certain manner depending on the person they met.
