NovelEnglishThe Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 406: Class Reunion"I won’t be free that day perhaps another time," Jsaid, her voice calm and devoid of emotion. She'd just had a bad day and
was in no mood to attend a class reunion.
When Jwas in college, she hadn’t gotten along with Ella and the others.She’d been a wallflower, so it was surprising that
they invited her this time.
Ella’s laughter cto an abrupt end and she was suddenly serious.
"All our classmates will be there.
People will notice if you’re the only one absent.
Do you want that? It’s not that hard to take one day off.
It’s not every day you get an opportunity like this.
Who knows when the next class reunion will be Jbit her lip, deep in thought.
"I’ll consider it."
Ella noticed that Jwas in a bad mood, and her tone brightened.
"What’s there to think about? You do sound down in the dumps though, what happened?"
"It’s nothing.I’m fine"
Jsighed in frustration.
"I’ll go."
Ella’s cheerful laughter on the phone showed how pleased she was.
"Wonderful! I’ll see you at Susie’s."
After the call disconnected, Jkept thinking about the reunion.
Maybe meeting her old classmates again wasn’t a bad idea. Jhad a boring college life, but it was still much better back then
than the infighting she was having now at the Larson Group.
Besides, she’d had sbad blood between her and Ella in college.
Meeting again was a great way to get past it.
Jtold Ethan about the call from Ella that night.
"I have smatters to resolve, so I won’t be hearly for the next few days, Saturday included.Don’t worry about me.You
can have a good twith your classmates," Ethan said, pinching her cheek.
He had a meeting with sforeign partners that day.
Jnodded.
Although she didn’t pay much attention to it, it was strange that Ethan had suddenly becquite busy ever since he changed
his job under the Lester family’s pressure.
The day of the class reunion arrived and Jarrived at the restaurant according to the address which Ella had texted to her.
A whole year had passed, but it wasn’t like they changed drastically.
Ella was able to recognize Jat first glance.
Ella waved Jover to the table where she sat.
Ella had changed quite a bit.She was now dressed expensively.She even had a Hermes bag sitting on the table in front of her.
She pulled Jinto the seat beside her and said, "Wow Janet, you haven’t changed huh? Your fashion laste is still terrible
Does the Larson Group not pay you well?"
Jsmiled and stayed quiet She’d received many messages talking about how Ella was the one funding the class reunion and
that she had booked the whole restaurant for the night, even going as far as paying for everything they would eat and drink.
Jknew that Ella’s family wasn’t well-to-do.
Back in college, she was even spotted wearing knock-offs.
How was she able to act so generously now?
"Ella, I heard that your husband runs a company.Isn’t he great?"
Several of their old classmates surrounded Ella, buttering her up.
With an unbothered look on her face, Ella said, "My husband’s grandfather runs the company.It’s a family business and now my
husband is in charge of it.My husband has been saying that he wants to start his own business, but his family won’t hear of
it.They keep saying he is the only heir.There’s just so much responsibility on his shoulders."
"Wow"
Envy filled the voices of those around her.
"Isn’t it better to have a family business to inherit? Starting a new business is risky!"
"You’re so lucky! It’s such a surprise! You got married quickly after graduation, so while we were struggling to get jobs, you were
already a rich housewife!"
Ella smirked slightly, raising her chin proudly.
Turning to Janet, amusement colored her tone.
"How about you, Janet? How are you doing? You’re married as well, aren’t you?"
