Chapter 63 Be Cautious Even With Close Friends
What a coincidence!
Leones couldn’t help but smile wryly at the situation.
Not only was this the place where he was meeting the Five Major Families, but it was also where the high school classmates were having their reunion dinner.
Seeing Susan’s enthusiastic invitation, Leones decided to go along with it.
After all, they were classmates who had lived and studied together for three years. It had been five years since they last saw each other, and he wondered how everyone had changed.
“Tch! Nobody invited you, and yet you have the nerve to come along.” a heavily made–up woman
next to Susan muttered.
“Sophie, how can you say that?” Susan quickly intervened, trying to stop her friend. “Leones is also our classmate, and I invited him.”
Hearing Susan calling out her name, Leones vaguely recognized the woman as Sophie Turner.
He remembered that Susan and Sophie were best friends in high school and had a close relationship.
Sophie, now heavily made–up, almost made Leones fail to recognize her.
Soon, the three of them arrived at a spacious private room where already about twenty to thirty people had gathered.
“Wow! The face of the class is here!”
As soon as Susan showed up, she immediately attracted the frenzied attention of her male classmates.
In a rush, more than a dozen men surrounded her, offering compliments and flattering remarks, while Leones and Sophie were left standing aside.
Sophie looked displeased and turned her head away. Every time she was with Susan, she always ended up playing a supporting role.
“You are becoming more beautiful and charming!”
“Susan, can I be your Facebook?friend?”
“I heard Susan still doesn’t have a boyfriend. Let’s see if there’s anyone in our class who catches her eye today?”
Facing the flattery, Susan remained composed, exchanging greetings with each of her classmates. “Alright, can you all calm down for a while? There’s no rush for those who want to pursue her,” a well–dressed man at the main table suddenly spoke up and gestured towards Susan, saying, “Susan, come sit with me!”
This man was Heston Gates, the former class monitor and the organizer of this class reunion. “Heston is extraordinary! He just returned from studying abroad and immediately joined the headquarters of the Heaven Fortune Group, making?millions? of?dollars?a?year.”
“Heaven Fortune Group is one of the top hundred national companies and the family company of the top ten wealthy families, the Sullivan family. Not just anyone can enter such a family–oriented large corporation.”
“Heston is also single, young and wealthy. Susan, should you consider it?”

Encouraged by some troublemakers, everyone urged Susan to go and join Heston. “Leones, Sophie, let’s go sit together!”
Susan didn’t forget to invite Leones and her good friend Sophie to join them.
“Wow, Sophie, you’re becoming more and more sexy.”
Heston complimented Sophie.
“Huh? And who is this…”
Immediately, Heston looked at Leones and was taken aback.
Heston wondered, feeling a bit puzzled. “Did I invite this person?”
Not only Heston but most of the classmates present also found Leones unfamiliar.
After all, Leones had spent five years in prison, during which he had undergone significant changes in appearance and temperament.
Compared to his despondent high school days, the present Leones looked much more handsome and radiant.
Leones even attracted the attention of some female classmates, who frequently cast flirtatious glances.
“Wow! Who is this handsome guy?”
“Do we have such a handsome male classmate? Why don’t I remember?”
“Could he be the boyfriend brought by Susan?”
Susan introduced him confidently, saying, “He is Leones from our class. Don’t you all remember him?”
Leones?
Upon hearing this name, everyone present was stunned and showed expressions of surprise. This was followed by whispers.
“He’s Leones? He has changed so much! I almost didn’t recognize him!”
“Well, after spending five years in prison, of course he’s different from us!”
“Who invited him? It’s really unlucky to have a meal with a former prisoner!”
Most of the classmates looked down upon him.
“It was me who invited him,” Susan asserted calmly. “And Leones was wrongly accused, so please stop mentioning his time in prison.”
Seeing Susan actively defending Leones, the classmates were all surprised and suspicious.
“Perhaps you don’t know,” Sophie spoke up, “Susan secretly had a crush on Leones back when we were in school!
“Unfortunately, before she expressed her feelings, Leones ended up in jail!”
Once this statement came out, it caused a commotion in the room.
Looking at the two of them, everyone wondered if they were together now.
That was truly a rose among thorns!
“Sophie, stop making things up!” Susan blushed and didn’t expect her friend to expose this at such
a moment.

Indeed, one should be cautious even with close friends!
At that moment, the class monitor, Heston, showed a slight change in expression.
The look in his eyes towards Leones became more hostile and sharp.
After all, during this class reunion, Heston had wanted to showcase his own abilities and try to pursue Susan.
Unexpectedly, Leones had come and disrupted his plan.
“So, it’s Leones. Your change is quite drastic. I almost didn’t recognize you!”
Immediately, Heston put on a smile, warmly inviting Leones.
“Come, come, sit wherever you like.”
Although his face was filled with a smile, in his heart, Heston was planning to make Leones embarrass himself in front of everyone, so that Susan could understand who was truly worthy of her.
