Ten minutes later.
Jaden drove his BMW with Connor and Tobias, arriving in front of a very upscale hotel.
After getting out of the car, Connor briefly assessed the situation inside the hotel.
Having been to many high-end hotels before, he could immediately tell that this hotel must be expensive.
So he softly said to Jaden, “The expenses here must be quite high. How about we go somewhere else to eat…”
“It’s fine. We finally meet today, so we should have a good meal. Don’t worry, it’s my treat,” Jaden said casually.
Upon hearing his words, Connor couldn’t help but glance at him.
Although Connor knew that Jaden’s family was well-off, he wasn’t exactly a rich heir. A meal in such a hotel would cost at least several thousand dollars, which was not a small expense for a college student like Jaden.
Therefore, Connor began to consider secretly that after the meal, he would discreetly pay the bill when Jaden and the others weren’t paying attention.
After all, that amount of money meant nothing to him, and it felt a bit uncomfortable for him to let others treat him to a meal when they hadn’t been in contact for such a long time.
“Connor, don’t worry. I have enough money for this. Relax!” Jaden reassured Connor with a smile when he noticed Connor’s silence. He thought Connor was worried about him.
“Okay, let’s eat here then,” Connor nodded lightly.
“Connor, let me tell you, I’ve made some friends in the university club. Those people are true second-generation rich. Each of them drives luxury cars worth millions. Mr. Nikola and I have the best relationship. Mr. Nikola even said he would do business with me in the future. Oh, by the way, his father is Mr. Yakov, Yakov Chakin. You should have heard of him, right?” Jaden said with a smile.
Connor paused for a moment upon hearing Jaden’s words, then furrowed his brow and asked, “Are you talking Nikola Chakin…”
“Exactly, it’s Nikola. Do you know him?” Jaden asked eagerly, his eyes flashing with excitement upon seeing that Connor knew Nikola.
“I don’t know…” Connor shook his head lightly and continued, “I’ve only heard about him from a friend. It seems that Nikola got into some trouble…”
“He did get into trouble, but I don’t know the details!” Jaden’s eyes flickered with a hint of curiosity as he smiled in response to Connor.
As Connor looked at Jaden’s silence, he realized that the Mr. Nikola mentioned by Jaden was clearly Nikola, the one whose leg was broken by Yakov himself on the cruise ship.
Connor knew that a large part of what Jaden was saying to him was bragging. He knew Nikola’s temper and personality very well, and he wouldn’t even spare a glance at someone like Jaden.
Moreover, if he really had a close relationship with Nikola, how could he not attend Nikola’s engagement ceremony? How could he not know that Nikola had become a crippled man now?
However, he didn’t expose Jaden because he knew that Jaden sometimes liked to brag, but he didn’t have any ill intentions. Who wouldn’t want to let their friends know how well they were doing outside? It was understandable.
“Alright, let’s stop chatting and go in,” Tobias cheerfully called out, then took the lead and walked into the hotel.
A moment later, Connor, Tobias, and Jaden arrived at the private room in the hotel, where three girls were already seated.
One of the girls was wearing a blue dress that reached her knees. She looked to be in her early twenties, tall and slender, with a natural and delicate oval face.
Beneath her short skirt were a pair of fair and slender legs, adorned with a pair of sneakers, giving off a youthful and beautiful vibe.
This girl’s name was Wilhelmina Warbucks. Back in high school, her relationship with Connor was relatively good, and she was one of the few girls in the class who didn’t look down on him.
There was another girl, sweet and elegant in appearance, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses and a denim skirt, with a faint smile on her face.
This girl was Yasmin Yale, the class monitor during Connor’s high school days. Although her relationship with Connor was average, it could still be considered cordial.
She had a good relationship with Tobias. During their high school days, rumors often circulated about the two of them being together.
As for whether they were actually together or not, Connor had no idea.
Then, there was the most beautiful girl, with a very sexy figure. She was wearing a white halter dress that perfectly showcased her alluring physique, captivating anyone who laid eyes on her.
Connor believed that this girl was the one Jaden liked.
“Connor, how dare you show your face here! It’s been so long since we last saw you. Why didn’t you keep in touch with us? Let’s see how I’ll deal with you today…” Wilhelmina rushed up to Connor as soon as she saw him, her watery eyes glaring at him.
Her personality had always been like this, similar to that of a boy. Even after such a long time without seeing each other, her character hadn’t changed.
Her personality was closely related to her family background. Her father was a police officer, so she had grown up in a police station. When she was young, she even learned self-defense techniques like taekwondo. Even boys couldn’t match up to her in high school.
“Connor took the initiative to contact us, didn’t he? Let him off the hook…” Jaden quickly reached out to stop Wilhelmina, then turned to Connor and said, “Connor, I won’t introduce you to Wilhelmina and Yasmin, we’re all old classmates. Let me introduce you to a new friend…”
After saying this, Jaden directly pulled Connor in front of the beautiful girl, then smiled and said to Connor, “This is my girlfriend, Roxanne Dwight! Roxanne, this is Connor I often mention to you, my best friend…”
Upon hearing Jaden’s words, Roxanne quickly gave Connor a faint smile and softly said, “Hello, Connor. Jaden often talks about you…” From NôvelDrama.Org.
“Hello, Roxanne”
Connor quickly replied, then took a quick look at Roxanne, but didn’t say anything more.
Although she appeared warm and friendly, Connor could sense that she was quite disdainful of him. However, she concealed it very well, and most people wouldn’t notice it.
