“You’re really something, Colin!” Matt exclaimed, impressed by what had just happened.
Meanwhile, David put his glass down and heaved a long breath that reeked of alcohol. Jacob shook his
head at him before saying, “If you don’t feel like drinking, just stop.”
Harry shot a glance at Matt and said softly, “That guy kept making him drink as soon as he arrived.”
However, Jacob looked at him through the side of his eyes and remarked, “Who was the one who
came out of the room with a glass of beer in his hands?”
“I was just curious to see if David really is going to the washroom or not.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll be fine after taking a break.” David waved at them. Looking at Jacob’s gray
hair, his smile slightly vanished. “You must have had a hard time out there. But I’m just glad to see you
back. If you need any help, just ask away. Even though my capabilities are limited, I still have some
strength to help you out.

right. I’ve also earned some money from the business. If you need any financial support, I could still
help with tens of thousands. Alas, I don’t have anything more than that!”
Jacob nodded slowly as he looked back at the both of them. Even though he did not require their
assistance, their offer warmed his heart up.
Just as they were engrossed in the conversation, Matt walked over again with a flushed face from all
the beer he had been drinking. “Here’s another toast for you, Jacob!”
A mixture of alcohol and bad breath slipped from his mouth. Upon experiencing that, a cold look
appeared on Jacob’s face.
“What? Are you looking down on me?” Matt glared at him through the corner of his eyes. “I’ll be pretty
impressed with you if you look down on me!” His body swayed as he deliberately said loudly in a
sarcastic tone, “After all, I can’t help but to be impressed at how you dare to stab the son of the
Mondez family!”
Colin berated in a low voice, “You’re drunk, Matt!”
“Haha! Colin, I’m not drunk!” As the atmosphere froze, he waved his hands. “Back then, this guy just
left us, leaving us in trouble! We were interrogated regularly!”
“Is it true?” Jacob asked David sharply. After a moment of hesitation, the latter slowly nodded.
His eyes slowly narrowed coldly. When Jerry was looking through past documents, it was not recorded
anywhere that his university classmates were being implicated.
Perhaps the officials thought that it was not needed to write it down, but Jacob still felt guilty when he
knew about this. After all, he was the one who brought trouble upon his classmates, who he had been
spending most of his time with.
“It’s just a few rounds of questioning. Matt is exaggerating.” David waved airily.
Harry wanted to say something, but he was reluctant to do so.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was true that the rest of them were only being asked a few questions, but as Jacob’s closest friend,
David was followed as soon as he went out of campus even after half a year since that incident
happened.
“If they didn’t interrogate us so many times and affected my mood, I might have passed my exams!”
one of the women said resentfully.
Seeing that the reunion party was slowly morphing into a blaming party, Colin quickly rose with a glass
of beer in his hands. “Guys, let bygones be bygones. We should focus on the future instead. Here’s
another toast!”
Under his lead, everyone stood up and raised their beverages. Looking forward to the future, they
gulped everything down.
“Come over here and sit down!” After putting down his glass, Colin glared at Matt in annoyance.
Meanwhile, one of the women left the table and walked to Jacob. “It’s been a while, friend, but you look
like you’ve been through a lot. Here’s one for you!”
He looked at the woman with full make up on her face before standing up and accepting her toast.
