Before Shawn could explode in anger, the woman by his side said in surprise, "Nathan Cross, is that you?"
Shawn, his friends and Minnie were all puzzled.
He asked his girlfriend, "Ivy, you know this guy? Who is he?"
She cuddled closer to him, her eyes never leaving Nathan as she answered in a derisive tone, "Shawn, this used to be the heir of the Cross family. However, he was exiled years ago. To think I used to like him! Back then, he was such an arrogant ass who didn't think I was worth his time."
Ivy was Nathan's junior high classmate. At the time, he was still the young master of the Cross family. Needless to say, a lot of girls were attracted to him since he came from such a wealthy background.
She had actively tried to pursue him but he had not been interested in her at all. For that, she had developed a grudge against him.
She had not expected to see him again after all these years.
Oh, how the circumstances have changed! She was now the girlfriend of the mayor of Cledondale's only son, while Nathan was no longer the esteemed young master of the Cross family.
She deliberately wrapped her arms around Shawn's bicep, taunting Nathan, "Hah! Last time, you treated me as if I were nothing. Well, now you'll only be able to reach me in your dreams! I'm sure you're one of the tens of millions of men single in this country, am I right? Teehee, to think you gave up on a beauty like me when you had the chance. You're probably not even worthy of having a wife! Do you regret not agreeing to be with me all those years ago?"
She had barely finished speaking when a gorgeous woman in professional clothing came out of the private room.
It was Penny.
Not only did Penny have stunningly beautiful features, but her figure was also to die for. The way she carried herself was almost like nobility - graceful and elegant.
If Penny were a lovely swan then Ivy was the ugly duckling that could only aspire to be like her.
The men present could not take their eyes off of Penny as they all wondered who this beauty was.
