When the elevator reached the 8th floor , her high school friend was waiting just outside .
Joycelyn called out to a woman , Lucy Joycelyn … wow , youre getting more beautiful by the day ! Lucy Barrett , a woman dressed in a professional outfit , greeted her .
She radiated the typical aura of an urban white collar worker .
Today , Joycelyn wore a light , intellectual outfit- a silk blouse paired with an A line skirt.
The fabric was delicate , without any logos , exuding a quiet nobility .
Worn by her, it gave off an elegant and captivating ana Even among her peers , she stood out with a uniquely sweet and fresh charm .
Youre still the queen of our class , arent you ? So beautiful ! And with a ring on your finger are you married now ? Lucy exclaimed , eyes wide as she stared at the wedding ring on Joycelyns finger .
Oh my god , which man managed to win your heart ? Didnt he come with you ? Lucy , who worked in sales , was loud and enthusiastic , immediately glancing over Joycelyns shoulder as if looking for a companion .
Joycelyn blushed at her teasing .
No , I came alone , Joycelyn answered , not hiding the fact that she was married .
Nearby , several classmates , hearing Lucys loud exclamation , had gathered by the door and were looking in.
The guys eyes lit up when they saw Joycelyn .
The ladies , however , wore more complicated expressions .
Wow , our class beauty is here ! Shes married but didnt bring her husband … Looks like the guys in our class will be fighting for her attention today ! Lucky them ! Joycelyn followed the voice and saw Caroline Lucas , the schools notorious troublemaker , standing there .
She was the monitor .
I heard shes working for a big company now and earns a lot , Though Joycelyn hadnt been in touch with her high school classmates , she could still recognize some familiar traits behind their makeup .
One of them was Tenley Reese , a member of the little troublemaker trio .
The class reunions were a reflection of who people really were .
Before Joycelyn even walked in , the freaks were already right there in front of her .
That group of ladies , one of them made her fortune selling products online , and the other , Tenley , got rich through a sugar daddy .
Theyve really changed , Lucy whispered to Joycelyn as they walked toward the private room .
1/3 12:26 79 % Chapter 71 Joycelyn wasnt bothered by their mockery .
Has the teacher arrived yet ? I brought a gift for him , she said , wanting to focus on her gift for the teacher and enjoy her time with her friends , leaving as soon as possible .
+23 ) Oh , shes not feeling well today , so he might be a little late or may not come at all .
Well all give the gifts together later , Lucy said , leading her into the room .
As they got closer , Lucy couldnt resist taking a jab .
Of course , us regular workers cant compare to you .
After all , you had the guts to mess around back in high school .
We just couldnt match up to that .
Lucy said this loud enough for Tenley and Caroline to hear .
Hearing this , the two former troublemakers shot sharp glares at Lucy , then turned to size up Joycelyn , dressed simply but elegantly .
Well , she may have been the class beauty , but she didnt manage to land a big boss to pay for her.
Doesnt seem like shes doing so well after all , Tenley sneered .
Joycelyn looked at her calmly , a faint smile crossing her face .
Did your double eyelids get done with a cleaver ? Theyre so wide , she said casually .
If she werent so hungry , Joycelyn might have added , Do you have some leftover food stuck in your teeth , too ? Lucy burst out laughing , mimicking the same tone as the two girls , Seriously , its so obvious , isnt it ? Both Tenley and Carolines faces twisted with fury.
Despite not wearing makeup , Joycelyns natural beauty was enough to captivate everyones attention .
As soon as they entered the private room , the men there began showing an unusually keen interest in her .
That woman really knows how to play the innocent act .
I saw her sister at a rich kids birthday party ; she married some poor insurance salesman .
Whats the point of being beautiful if youre still trashy ? Caroline hissed through gritted teeth .
Look at that face .
I bet youve got some hyaluronic acid thatll melt that face down .
You should send one over and ruin her looks , Tenley said , with an air of superiority .
Enough , Caroline replied , immediately contacting an employee to send over a syringe .
In the large private room , everyones attention seemed to be focused on Joycelyn .
Even Liam , who had just entered , couldnt help but be drawn to her .
Hey, our genius designer is here ! someone exclaimed .
Joycelyn turned toward the voice and saw it was Liam .
He was dressed in a plaid shirt , a far cry from the awkward nerdy appearance shed seen backstage at the conference .
Today , he looked much more energetic .
It was hard to imagine that this was the same man Ruby had called her secret weapon .
Joycelyn had her own reasons for coming today .
Shed overheard Ruby mention at lunch that the Grant Group wanted to maintain its position at the top of the pyramid .
Rubys chips and smart system could help make that happen .
It sounded like a proposal for loyalty , but to Joycelyn , it was more of a way to keep Ellison in check .
2/3 Damance T220 Thu , 1 FeD Chapter 71 79 % She had no idea if hed changed his mind about coming , but she suspected his decision to attend might have been a forced one .
Liam , youre a little late .
Your class president just married a poor guy , Tenley said , sidling up to him and crossing her arms with a smirk .
Liams eyes , behind his glasses , flickered with surprise .
It was clear he hadnt expected that .
The rooms atmosphere shifted , and everyones gaze turned toward Liam , now eager to see how hed react .
But Tenley wasnt finished .
Well , dont worry .
She can always get a divorce .
And you , Liam , youre a top scientist now , making millions .
Joycelyn , maybe you should rethink things .
Tenley poked the bear once more .
You just stuff yourself in the bathroom ? Your mouth smells like garbage , Joycelyn said coldly , her voice as sharp as ice .
The room erupted in laughter .
