Chapter 498 - 498: There’s No Shortage of Decent People
7 PM.
Sadie and a few of her best friends were already gathered in the milk tea shop near the Porthampton University.
All of Sadie’s best friends had been admitted to the Porthampton University, and it was one of her friends’ birthday today.
That was why the few of them had gathered together to prepare a small birthday party.
Initially, Sadie didn’t plan to ask Connor to join. After all, she didn’t have any relationship with him. Moreover, Sadie didn’t have any feelings for him.
However, Candance had been trying to matchmake them. Sadie didn’t want to make Candance sad because of this. In addition, Connor had helped her with the admission procedures today and had been busy for the whole day. Sadie felt that it was a favor to him by asking him to join.
Sadie was worried that Connor had forgotten the time and place, so she specially called him.
“Connor, my friends are already at the shop. Come over quickly. Don’t let my friend wait too long!””
Sadie said softly while holding the phone.
“Alright, 1’11 be there soon!”
Connor replied faintly to Sadie and then hung up the phone.
Sadie couldn’t help but sigh when the call ended. Then, she put down her phone.
“Sadie, who did you call just now?”
At this moment, a sexy and charming girl asked Sadie with a puzzled expression.
There was a girl in a white spaghetti strap dress sitting beside them. These two were Sadie’s best friends.
“It’s a friend of mine!”
Sadie replied indifferently with an expressionless face.
“Boyfriend?” Yara Xenos, the charming girl, shouted with a smile.
“What boyfriend?”
When Sadie heard this, her face instantly turned dark. Then, she frowned and said, “This person is my mother’s friend’s son. I don’t know what my mother likes about him. She actually wants to matchmake the two of us. 1 really had no choice, so I asked him to join…”
“Oh!”
After hearing Sadie’s words, Yara became even more curious. She blinked and asked, “What does your friend look like? Is he rich? Can he be compared to my boyfriend, Levin?”
Levin Strong was Yara’s boyfriend. He was a very famous rich heir in their high school, and his family was in the hotel business.
They owned five-star hotel chains in several cities. Of course, Yara’s family background was quite good too. She was the typical fair, rich, and beautiful woman. The two of them were of equal social status.
“Yara, why are you so shallow? All you care about is money…”
At this moment, a beautiful woman in a long dress sitting beside them said helplessly.
“Sabrina, don’t you think I’m right? If the guy doesn’t have money, background, and looks, is he even compatible with Sadie? Does he even have the right to be with Sadie?”
Yara pouted and shouted.
“Yara, what nonsense are you talking about? I’m just ordinary friends with that person. He doesn’t have any intention of pursuing me at all!”
Sadie quickly explained and then continued, “That person’s parents have passed away a long time ago. He doesn’t have any background at all, but he’s quite handsome and decent…”
“Decent?”
Yara couldn’t help but laugh when she heard this. She was speechless and said loudly, “Sadie, are you kidding me? In today’s society, there’s no shortage of decent people!”
“Sadie, although Yara’s words seem harsh, it actually makes sense. If this person really doesn’t have any family background, even if you like him, the two of you won’t have a good ending because the two of you are from different worlds. He might not even be able to support himself in the future, let alone support you!”
The girl in the long dress reminded her softly and then continued, “Although in this society, one can’t just look at whether a person has money or not, economic conditions are definitely a very important factor!”
“What nonsense are the two of you talking about?”
Sadie shouted impatiently, then pouted and said, “I’ve already told you guys just now that my mother likes him and wants to matchmake the two of us, but 1 don’t like him!”
“Alright, since you don’t like him, I’ll teach this kid a lesson when he comes over later. 1’11 make him realize the difference between you and him. That way, he won’t have the guts to continue pestering you!”
Yara pouted and said to Sadie.
Sadie sighed helplessly after hearing Yara’s words. She didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Connor happened to walk into the milk tea shop.
Although there were quite a lot of people in the milk tea shop at this time, because Sadie, Yara, and the best friend in the long dress were very beautiful, they were very eye-catching, so he found them at a glance.
In fact, Connor didn’t want to join their gathering because he didn’t know Sadie’s friends.
However, Connor knew that this was Candance’s intention, so he was embarrassed to refuse.
“You’re here!”
Sadie said faintly when she saw Connor. Her tone seemed a little cold. Perhaps it was because of what her best friend said just now, so Sadie was obviously deliberately keeping a certain distance from Connor.
The best friend wearing a spaghetti strap dress didn’t even look at Connor. She held a cup of milk tea in her hand and looked at the scenery outside the window with her beautiful eyes, giving people a feeling that they could only watch from afar and not go near her.
“You’re Sadie’s friend?”
At this moment, Yara stood up and sized up Connor with a disdainful expression.
The clothes that Connor was wearing were actually international brands. Chloe Lawson had specially bought them for Connor and placed them in his wardrobe. When Connor went out today, he was a little anxious, so he casually found two sets to wear.
However, Connor did not recognize these brands at all, nor did he know that the clothes he was wearing now would cost at least 100,000 dollars!
The reason why Yara was looking at Connor with such disdain was because she knew that his background was very ordinary, and it was impossible for ordinary people to afford such branded clothes.
Therefore, Connor’s clothes were all fake. Yara felt that she could use this to humiliate him..
