Chapter 487
Everyone was overjoyed. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
They had nevere into contact with a wealthy person worth hundreds of millions, not to mention the
fact that he was their ssmate.
If they could ride his coattails, even if he were to just show them the smallest bit of kindness, they might
get to be sessful in the future.
“Wow! I really didn’t know we had a hidden talent amongst our ssmates. How did our sse out
with someone like Julian?” Gracemented.
The others nodded in agreement. “That’s right! No one could’ve imagined.”
“But then again, I already felt that Julian was not that simple back in those days. And look at him now—
he’s rich!”
“Yeah. I remember I used to sit behind him.”
“Really? Then you guys must have been very close, right?”
“Haha. Of course. We were deskmates!”
While everyone was chatting away, Matthew sat by the side. He listened to them as they boasted about
their rtionships with Julian.
Gazing at Matthew, a trace of contempt appeared at the edge of Grace’s mouth.
“Why don’t you go back first, Matthew? It seems like the reunion party tonight isn’t for you.”
“Why is that so?” Matthew frowned in response.
“What do you think?” scoffed Grace. “Those in attendance today are on their way up in life. Didn’t you
hear? Leo is the managing director of hispany. As for me, I’m in charge of ourpany’s finance.
The rest of them are either senior white-cor workers inpanies or entrepreneurs.”

Everyone in the room gazed at Matthew with a smug and disdainful look on their faces.
Grace went on, “Besides, Julian is a big boss with a worth of hundreds of millions. But look at you.
You’re just a janitor. What do you have inmon with any of us? Matthew, I know what you’re thinking.
You wanted to find yourself an opportunity and ask us to help you, right?
We understand. If there’s another chance, we’ll help you to find a decent job. But, you can’t be here to
ruin the reunion party tonight. Once Julian gets here, it isn’t just eating that we’ll be doing. We’ll have to
go to a karaoke bar with him and maybe something else too.
By then, it’ll be hard to tell how much we’ll be spending. Do you know it’s normal to spend tens of
thousands just for one night at a karaoke bar? And when we have to share thousands worth of
expenses, would you be able to afford it?”
Upon hearing that, Matthew’s brows knitted. Why is she acting like a snob?
Just when he was about to explode, Leo suddenly waved his hand. “Hey, Grace. We’re ssmates. How
can you say something like that? Matthew, don’t take her words seriously. What she said is for your own
good. But, the way she worded it was wrong.
Everyone should know what they’re capable of and recognize their abilities. It’s not that we don’t treat
you as our ssmate. But the expenditure tonight will be too high.
We shouldn’t torment you with the burden. How about this. I can ask the kitchen to make you some
dishes and you can bring them home. We can share your bill amongst us!”
The crowdughed secretly and Grace instantly praised, “Leo, you’re so good to your friends. Hurry up
and thank Leo, Matthew! The dishes at Prosperous Hotel aren’t bad. Just a few of them would cost a few
hundred!”
However, with an icy expression, Matthew said in a t tone, “There’s no need. It’s just a meal. I can still
afford it. Everyone, I’m still going to repeat the same thing. I’ll make sure I return every cent that I owe.”
Everyone’s expression went cold at once. Furiously, Grace yelled, “Don’t be stupid, Matthew! This is for
your own good. How can you be so ungrateful? Are you sure that you will be paying us back?
Huh. When it’s time to pay the bill, I’m sure you’lle crying to us saying that you don’t have the
money. I’ve met a lot of people like you. You’re simply the lowest ss of men!”
