Renee glanced at Leo Wilde but didn't go over to sit next to him.
The space was large, so there was no need to squeeze together. Renee found an empty seat and said to Leo, "Thank you, I'll sit here. Liz, congratulations on finding such a good boyfriend. I wish you both happiness."
Liz made an effort to smile and raised her glass to Renee, saying, "Thank you."
"Renee, where's your brother?" Leo intentionally got closer to Renee and asked. Liz was beautiful, but compared to Renee, she still fell short.
Liz Philip pinched him dissatisfiedly, "How can you call her Renee too?"
"What's the problem? Ryan Haydn is my high school classmate, and his sister is my sister. Calling her Renee sounds more intimate," Leo Wilde replied, unconcerned.
"He has something to do, so he couldn't come. That's why I came alone," Renee replied.
"Ah, it's not easy for a discharged soldier to find a job," Leo Wilde sighed. He knew about Ryan joining the army, but there were rumors that Ryan had sacrificed his life. Now he understood that Ryan had retired and returned. He stood up and sat next to Renee, saying, "You don't need to bother him. I know many people, I'll find him a job as a security team leader."
Before his butt could even warm the seat, Liz Philip pulled him up, "Get lost, I haven't finished chatting with my classmates. If you have questions, go ask Ryan directly. Renee, let's have a drink!"
She intentionally poured a full glass of wine for Renee and handed it to her. Liz drank hers in one go.
Renee felt hesitant, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to drink it. However, she couldn't handle alcohol well, and just one glass made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Renee, did you find a new boyfriend again?" Liz Philip asked.
"Huh? No," Renee replied.
"Don't lie. I know about your family's situation, and you can't afford clothes like this," Liz said.
"Well... my brother bought this with his money," Renee shyly replied.
Although the money was in her account, she always considered the money from the Collins Family to be Ryan's.
"Come on, how can a newly returned soldier have so much money?" Leo Wilde commented.
As a playboy, he could tell at a glance the value of a piece of clothing, and this one was worth at least several thousand.
Just as Novia Delia, who had just come to pick up Renee, heard the commotion and approached, she said, "Enough, stop staring at her clothes. If they get dirty, they can't be returned."
"Renee, you took a taxi here today, right? It must have cost a lot of money. I will say this to you, we're all classmates gathering, there's no need for this face-saving act. Everyone knows about your family's situation, and no one will laugh at you. After all, not everyone is as lucky as you to have a boyfriend like Leo on your side..."
A sentence made Liz's complexion look much better.
Took a taxi? Rented the clothes?
"No, I bought them. My brother's money..." Renee said, feeling embarrassed.
"When it comes to your brother... what I said earlier counts. Give him a call and ask him to come. I will find him a job as a security team leader immediately. He can earn at least 2,000 dollars a month, which is not bad money and not too tiring. What do you think?" Leo Wilde spoke up again.
"Stop being so proud. In this society, a discharged soldier without skills or connections can't do anything. I know Ryan values his face, but sometimes, for the sake of survival, you should let go of your pride. Let him follow me and make a living!" Leo said.
Renee felt very uncomfortable. What did this group of people think of her brother? He was someone who could make the Collins Family bow down. How could he become a security team leader?
Renee didn't want to continue the conversation. Just now, because of the drink, her stomach didn't feel well. She hastily stood up and said, "I... I need to go to the restroom."
Liz Philip coldly watched her leave and whispered, "Tsk, trying to pretend? Can't pretend anymore, huh?"
Renee had just arrived at the restroom when she vomited and took a while to clean up.
As she walked back, she felt dizzy, swaying back and forth, and accidentally bumped into someone.
"Why can't you walk properly? Your eyes are blind?" said the person who was bumped into, with a fierce tone.
Two young men were walking side by side, and the one who got bumped into said aggressively.
Renee turned around and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well..."
After speaking, she returned to their room.
However, the two young men stood there stunned. As soon as they saw Renee's appearance, they couldn't keep calm.
"Mr. Joan, she's amazing!"
"No doubt, she's amazing! Do you remember the room number? Go call someone!" the young man called Mr. Joan said mischievously.
The other person turned around and left, while Mr. Joan walked into the room where Renee was. He kicked the door open.
Everyone who was singing stopped and was startled by the commotion. Leo Wilde narrowed his eyes and had the music turned off. He got up and asked, "What do you want?"
"What do I want? Who's the i***t that bumped into me a moment ago?" He spoke arrogantly.
Renee had only just sat down and finally calmed herself. Seeing the other party's aggressive momentum, she was a little scared and whispered, 'I...didn't I just apologize?'
“Apology? What” 's the use of apologizing?" Mr. Joan said as he stepped forward, pinching Renee's delicate chin, feeling the smoothness of her skin, and his heart was stirred.
"But if you are willing to come to my place, have a drink with me, and have a good chat with me, maybe I can forgive you!"
Leo Wilde thought this was a good opportunity to be a hero and give Renee a favorable impression of him. Maybe he could find a chance in the future to win over this beauty!
So he stood up, grabbed Mr. Joan's wrist, and pushed hard, saying, "Get your claws off!"
"I don't care who you are, since Renee has already apologized, you better stop being relentless. Some people, you can't mess with. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Do you know who I am? I am..."
Leo Wilde said domineeringly, thinking that revealing his identity could scare off the intruder. However, Mr. Joan directly picked up an ashtray and smashed it on his head.
With a bang, his head was split open and blood flowed.
"I don't care who the hell you are!"
Mr. Joan threw the bloody ashtray on the ground and said ferociously, "Who the hell do you think you are? You dare to meddle in my business?"
"You!"
"Everyone, protect Renee!"
Seeing Leo Wilde's attempt to show off failed, a group of male classmates immediately stepped forward to support Renee Haydn.
"Who dares to touch him!"
At that moment, the person who had gone back earlier brought a group of bodyguards rushing in. There were more than ten of them, occupying half of the room directly.
The group of male classmates immediately retreated. It was clear that they were not to be trifled with. They were just ordinary people and couldn't afford to provoke them!
Leo Wilde didn't expect that the young man in front of him could call so many helpers. He was surprised.
Originally, he was furious after being hit by the ashtray, but now most of his anger subsided. He stepped forward and asked, “Bro, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. "
