Benjamin’s voice boomed, a definite sign that indicated his frustration.
The others didn’t dare offend Benjamin, so they turned their gaze away without saying anything else.
Lillian said, “Come on, guys. We used to be classmates. Let’s not gossip any further about this.”
She took a seat beside Elizabeth. “Elizabeth, please don’t mind them. You know very well that people are bound to gossip when they get together.”
Elizabeth’s expression fell. She glared at Tiana coldly while gritting her teeth.
Tiana and Celine were the people who had caused so much trouble for me. How dare she speak ill of me now?
Tiana gave her a smug smile in return. “Lizzy, don’t you glare at me. I didn’t speak ill of you. you.”.
“Why? Is the guilt bothering you now? I didn’t say it was you who did it. A word of advice for you, though, Tiana. Don’t be so mean toward others, as what goes around comes around!”
Their classmates noticed the exchange between Elizabeth and Tiana. This is surprising. They seemed close during school days. But now, it seems like that wasn’t the truth.
“Okay. Let’s stop arguing, shall we? Why don’t we talk about something else?”
“Is any one of us getting married soon? I think it’s about time for all of us to start a family now.”
Tiana smiled. “I guess that will be me. I’m getting married on the twenty-seventh of next month. Everyone is invited to my wedding!”
She lifted her glass with glee. Everyone raised theirs in return to congratulate her.
“Congratulations, Tiana!”
“I’m happy that you are marrying a good man!”
“I’m jealous of you!”
Elizabeth, on the other hand, gave no response to Tiana. She took a look at the seafood, lobsters, and abalones that her classmates had ordered.
