Chapter 490
Ed was utterly confused. After a moment of hesitation, he whispered, "Leo, I-I'm not very good at talking. | might
not be the most suitable one to entertain him. Why don't you just letsit beside Matthew? You
guys can entertain him on your own. I... | really can't do it..."
Drawing her brows together, Grace said, "Ed, Leo has made the arrangements. Just listen to him. Besides, the
boss is a good friend of yours. How can you not entertain him?"
"Good friend?" Ed was astonished.
Laughing slyly, Grace continued, "Do you remember Julian Davis?"
"Yeah! He's the most successful person in our class," said Grace proudly.
"He's worth hundreds of millions now. How incredible. You guys were the closest back then; of course, you should
be entertaining him!"
For a while, Ed was stunned. But then he said, "But back then, | was actually the closest with Matthew-"

Leo was a little annoyed and he interrupted, "Whatever. Just sit here. Ed, a guest should do as the host thinks fit.
Besides, I'm the one who organized today's reunion party. So, you should stop messing things around."
Scratching his head, Ed then asked, "O-Or you can letand Matthew sit on either side of Julian?"
"What right does he have to sit beside Julian?" Grace pouted.
"We've arranged for Elaine to sit on Julian's right side! Do you know Elaine? Our class belle-the one Matthew had
a crush on. Tell you what. Elaine and Julian are a perfect match!"
Everyone laughed upon hearing that. Of course, they knew why Leo had arranged for Elaine to sit beside Julian.
However, Ed's expression changed. Aren't they trying to annoy Matthew on purpose?
Just when he was about to say something, Matthew spoke up at once, "It's okay, Ed. Just sit there first. Since
we're already met, we still have the tto talk later."
Upon hearing Matthew's advice, Ed finally sat down and said nothing.
The crowd surrounded Ed, asking him about his current situation.
From the chatter, Matthew learned about Ed's situation.
He was originally arranged to work in his family's factory after graduation.
However, his mother fell ill. Their family spent all of their savings to save her life.
Even the money they had saved for Ed to get married was used up.
Besides, the factory was retrenching workers at the time, so Ed had no choice but to go out on his own.
After a few years, due to Ed's introverted and weak personality, he suffered a lot in society.
Looking at Ed, Matthew's eyes turned wet.
He didn't know things like that had happened to Ed's family.
Besides, when he was at his lowest, he didn't even cto Matthew to ask for money. For him, this was the
most touching part of the story.
Not long after the talk, another person walked through the door. It was Elaine.
Elaine had dolled herself up for today. Her clothes were quite risqué. It seemed like she had prepared herself on

Elaine and Leo were distant relatives. And when she got the news about Julian from Leo, she was very attentive
about it.
Her current boyfriend, Logan, was just a pretty vase.
Although he looked fancy on the surface, he actually didn't have much money.
When she found out that Julian was worth hundreds of millions, she rushed over immediately.
If she could hook up with him, she could live a prosperous life.
To beca rich lady who didn't have to worry about her living was a lot better than keeping up with someone
like Logan. When Leo saw Elaine, instantly, he laughed and said, "Hahaha. Our pretty lady is here!"
"Wow! | haven't seen you for so long and yet you still look so beautiful!"
Every guy in the room looked eager. After all, she was the class belle.
Besides, Elaine had been keeping up with the fashion trends all these years. That was why she was still so
captivating. Grace had on a sour expression as she was irritated because everyone started ignoring her the
moment Elaine cin. Glancing at Matthew, she suddenly had an idea. Immediately, she chuckled, "Elaine,
look who's here."
