A group of people fell silent when they suddenly heard a voice speak up.
"It was I who allowed Regina Kelloway to pester relentlessly. Moreover, I have never told anyone that I dislike her."
"So, I don’t want anyone spreading rumors like that in the future."
"Also, my refusal of her was not because I didn’t like her, but because I thought I wasn’t worthy of her. She is excellent, even if she were not the daughter of the Kelloway family, she would still be an outstanding girl."
It was Jeremy Lawrence.
It was the silent Jeremy Lawrence.
As soon as he spoke, everyone froze, staring at him with utter disbelief.
Had they heard him correctly just now?
Jeremy said he allowed Regina to pester him relentlessly?
He refused Regina because he felt unworthy of her?
Did that imply that if he were worthy, he wouldn’t refuse her?
Recalling that he had just said he didn’t dislike Regina.
So, could it be possible that Jeremy actually liked Regina?
After reaching this conclusion, everyone was stunned once more.
Especially the few girls who had just spoken ill of Regina; their faces were unspeakably ugly.
Jery was slapping them in the face with his words.
Everyone felt as if their faces were ringing with a "slap slap slap."
What did Jeremy an by all this?
Could he really like Regina?
But he had clearly shown that he didn’t like her before.
Not just them.
Everyone in the school thought he didn’t like Regina.
After Jeremy finished speaking, he suddenly turned his head towards the door, as if sensing sothing.
Behind the half-covered door of the private room, Regina stood pale-faced.
No one knew when she had arrived.
Or if she had heard what those girls had just said.
But Jeremy, looking at her pale face, thought she probably had.
He stared at Regina’s pale face, and a pang of heartache flashed through his eyes.
Those who could attend the reunion today had once been close classmates.
There were two girls whom Jeremy rembered had been very close friends with Regina.
But just a mont ago, they too were slandering Regina.
Any person would feel terrible if they heard their once-good friends talking about them like that.
Jeremy felt a little regret.
Why didn’t he stop them from speaking earlier?
He should have stopped them right after they said their first sentence.
At that mont, the others discovered Regina standing at the door.
Those girls who had just bad-mouthed her changed their expressions, wondering if Regina had heard their words?
They had heard that the Kelloway family was now thriving again.
Regina, once a fallen rich daughter, was back in the lilight.
They were still sowhat wary of Regina’s status.
"Regina, you’re here."
So boys smiled brightly at the sight of their long-lost goddess and promptly gave up their seats, "Regina, co and take a seat. We’ve all been waiting for you."
Regina stood at the door for a few seconds before nodding nonchalantly and walking into the private room.
She seed emotionally stable.
After entering the private room, she greeted everyone with a smile, "Sorry, I was stuck in traffic and kept you waiting."
The girls exchanged glances as if they believed Regina hadn’t heard their previous conversation.
"It’s no problem, we just arrived too." The boy who had given up his seat for Regina said, his face slightly red as he looked at her.
