The Mans Decree Chapter 144

Chapter 144 Betrayed

“Aren't you going to toast Lincoln, Yolanda?” Yvonne queried.

“I can afford to pay eight thousand.”

Yolanda's meaning was more than clear—she would rather pay out of her own pocket than toast Lincoln.

“Stop acting as though you're rich! How many clients would you have to sleep with before you make that much? I was just saying that for your own good, yet you're not the least bit grateful!” Yvonne grumbled with a roll of her eyes.

That remark was akin to a bolt of thunder that struck without warning, and everyone cut their gazes at Yolanda.

Meanwhile, Yolanda's face flushed bright red, and she felt so mortified at their gazes that she wanted to crawl into a hole.

“What nonsense are you spouting, Yvonne? I'll kill you!”

Yolanda sprang to her feet with a bottle of wine in her hand.

“Watch your tongue, Yolanda! I'm not spouting nonsense. Do you not know your own profession?”

Yvonne wasn't willing to back down either.

Holding the wine bottle in hand, Yolanda trembled all over. In the next instant, she made to hurl it at Yvonne.

Right then, stark regret swamped her. I regarded her as a close friend, yet she betrayed me!

At that precise moment, Michelle stood up and snatched the wine bottle from Yolanda. With a cold expression on her face, she roared, “Why are you two making a scene? I was the one who arranged the class reunion today! Are you two going against me to kick up a fuss here? If that's the case, just get out of here!”

She had appointed herself as the host just because Lincoln was her boyfriend.

Anyhow, Yvonne didn't dare say anything further following that bellow. Yolanda, on the other hand, sat back down with tears swimming in her eyes.

The rest of the people eyed her licentiously, especially the males. She was rather pleasing to the eyes, after all, and they could possibly bed her then for just a few hundred.

After that incident, Yolanda kept her head lowered and uttered nary a word.

“Come on, let's all eat together! You guys don't get to eat such good food usually!” Michelle said to the crowd, ignoring Yolanda altogether.

Subsequently, everyone started eating enthusiastically. No one bothered about Yolanda other than Hilda, who consoled her tirelessly. But still, Yolanda kept mum.

They all drank and toasted each other, but Jared merely concentrated on eating. No one cared about him, so he likewise ignored them all.

Staring at him, Lincoln lifted his wine glass and remarked, “Why are you just eating and not drinking, Jared? Are you trying to eat your money's worth? Don't make yourself sick by stuffing yourself!”

“Haha… ”

As his words fell, everyone hooted with laughter.

Jared wiped his mouth with a tissue and replied without a hint of anger, “This wine is too cheap. I'm not used to drinking such lousy wines.”

Upon hearing that, everyone was startled. This is Sauvignon Blanc, a wine that costs a few thousand a bottle, yet he's claiming that he's not used to drinking it?

“What would you like to drink if you're not used to drinking Sauvignon Blanc? This is free, but you'll have to pay if you choose something else,” Lincoln sneered.

“Ah, money is no matter! The thing is, I'll get into a coughing fit if I drink wine that's too cheap,” Jared explained placidly.
