Briar was eager to spend all of Alex’s money, and he had little affection for his half-brother.
When he accidentally passed by his room and saw his membership card thrown on the table, Briar took it without hesitation.
Aurelia knew more or less about what was going on between the brothers. From what Briar said, Alex was trying to please his younger brother, but Briar was disdainful.
Although he said it with disdain, Aurelia knew that Briar sometimes actually listened to Alex.
“Briar, what are you two whispering about? Come here!” Someone started to protest against the two people who were whispering.
Briar responded loudly, “Here it comes! Tate, I’m going to make you drink…” Halfway through the sentence, Briar looked at Aurelia with a strange expression and said, “I’ll drink less, and you don’t have to drink.”
The man called Tate Crull started to make fun of them, teasing, “What? Are you two already in a relationship? Do you have to ask Aurelia for permission to drink now?”
When Aurelia and Briar were in high school, they were both popular in school, and many people made fun of their relationship. But now, the two of them were not attracted to each other.
Aurelia couldn’t stand Briar’s loose behavior, and Briar couldn’t stand Aurelia’s inability to act coquettishly.
The two finally concluded that they could only be friends.
“What’s our relationship? Well, we share the same bed, chat with each other, and fight!” Briar pulled out a chair for Aurelia. Aurelia heard his nonsense, glared at him speechlessly, and sat down.
In fact, Aurelia was not very willing to attend such parties. From childhood to adulthood, many girls automatically isolated her because of her pretty face and her personality that made her get along well with boys.
Given that, when many of her former female classmates saw Aurelia, they mocked her in secret.
Why did they mock her secretly? Because they didn’t dare to scold her openly, for fear that Aurelia would beat them! But they couldn’t help but vent their jealousy, so they could only mock her secretly.
Actually, Aurelia was quite wronged. She was very compassionate to girls, and she had never hit a girl since she was a child. Even when Evelyn provoked her every day, she just threatened her verbally and at most gave her a little punishment.
Of course, it wasn’t that Aurelia didn’t dare, but she really felt that there was no need to fight with these delicate girls, fearing that if she didn’t control her strength, she would cripple them.
During this time, Briar went to the bathroom. Many female classmates who thought Aurelia was so arrogant because of Briar began to openly mock Aurelia.
“She’s been following Briar as a sidekick for so many years. I don’t know how she can be so shameless!”
“Did you hear that she confessed her love to Mr. Finnegan at the press conference last time? I heard she had said it ten times!”
“A friend of mine told me that she has a sexual orientation towards women!”
“For real?”
Aurelia was confused. Why was she attending the class reunion? These people, after so many years, still had no brains at all?
Hearing the women gossiping about Aurelia, even the excited boys who were drinking began to join them. Aurelia was about to stand up and leave when a boy stood up from the next table.
He stood up and shouted, “Shut up! Are you here for the party or gossip? Shame on you for bad-mouthing others.”
Aurelia didn’t know whether he was angry or nervous, and saw his face turn red after he said this.
Aurelia looked at him, slightly shocked. Usually, apart from her friends, few people would stand up to speak for her. The boy who stood up at this moment was a boy she was not familiar with.
If she remembered correctly, the boy’s name was Leo Lawson.
Perhaps because he had been an insignificant person back in high school, everyone was shocked by Leo’s reaction, but after they came to their senses, they included Leo in the gossip.
“Leo, you don’t like that tomboy, do you?” The woman who called Aurelia a tomboy simply wanted to remind everyone that no matter how pretty Aurelia was, she was like a boy.
Unexpectedly, Leo did not refute, but shouted out, “So what? I do like Aurelia. You ungrateful girls are nothing compared to her!”
“Oh, how touching!”
“I’m so scared! What did Aurelia do to Leo to make him react so violently?”
“Seriously, Leo? I’m afraid she will beat you to death!”
If there weren’t so many people here today and it was a class reunion, she would have lost her temper a long time ago.
“Is the food delicious?” she asked the girls opposite her with a faint smile.
The girl nodded, not understanding why. “The food here is similar to that at EliteMart. Alioth has a good selection on the fifth floor, and of course it’s delicious.”
“Then… I won’t let you eat it!” Since these female classmates kept messing with her, she would make them pay. Aurelia suddenly stood up and slammed the table. With a great noise, the wine glass in front of her fell to the ground.
The entire room fell silent in an instant.
The next moment, Aurelia did something that made the girls scream.
The dining table was fixed, Aurelia couldn’t move, so she turned around, picked up her chair, and smashed it hard on the dining table. The exquisite dishes on the dining table were ruined in an instant, and the plates were also smashed.
“Aurelia, are you crazy?”
“This is a famous private club. Can you afford the compensation?”
Everyone stepped back, fearing that they would get hurt.
Aurelia rolled her eyes at them, took a step back, and kicked the chair next to Briar, where she had been sitting, onto the dining table next door.
The girls at the next table who had been chattering and mocking Aurelia immediately shut up. The boys who got along well with Aurelia guessed what Aurelia would do next and immediately came over to hold her back.
Aurelia shook them off and said coldly, “Whoever dares to stop me today will be cut off from me!” Damn it! These bitches were only good at spreading rumors. Normally, she has no control over other people’s gossip, but today, if she doesn’t cure her bad habit of gossiping about her, she is not Aurelia!
“Aurelia, the tableware is very expensive!” A boy kindly reminded her. In everyone’s eyes, whether Aurelia was rich or not was a mystery.
If you say she had no money, she was often picked up by a BMW. If you said she has money, the food, clothes and daily necessities she used were not top brands.
Didn’t Callum have a lot of money? Didn’t he order her to spend his money? Then she would spend it all today!
She picked up the wine bottle on the table and smashed it in front of several girls. In order to avoid her, several girls fled away.
