chapter130
Winnie scrutinized Sebastian as he walked in.
His attire was unmistakably modest, looking like it came straight from a street market. His clothes looked to be not worth more than 200 dollars.
Winnie’s disdain was evident, even more pronounced given her expectations.
“so it’s you, the poor guy dreaming of marrying our Jenny? she taunted.
Ryan’s voice joined the chorus of mockery. “Tad, you ought to know your place. Jenny is the Cadwell family’s princess, a phoenix among sparrows. A guy like you shouldn’t even dream of her. Better keep your distance, or it won’t end well for you!!
The others chimed in with similar taunts, all except a woman named Hannah Walker.
Jenny turned to Sebastian and said, “They’re a bit harsh, so don’t take it to heart.”
Sebastian didn’t respond, but his frown deepened.
Jenny’s comment seemed to Indirectly endorse the others‘ cruel words.
Still, since she was Lucy’s daughter, Sebastian held his tongue.
The group soon left the coffee shop.
There were three cars for the eight people, Jenny’s, Harrison’s, and Ryan’s.
However, none seemed inclined to offer Sebastian a ride.
“Come sit with me,” Hannah called out to Sebastian, offering him aseat
“Hannah, why bother with this bumpkin? He looks filthy What if he dirties our car? Winnie complained, visibly displeased.
Hannah felt a bit embarrassed, but since it wasn’t her car, she refrained from saying more.
“You guys go ahead, I’ll take a taxd,” he said.
Hannah had been the only one who hadn’t mocked him and had even attempted to include him. Naturally, Sebastian didn’t want to complicate things for her.
“Mr. Zatch, welcome!”
The manager of Night Realm Karaoke hurried out to greet them, his enthusiasm evident.
As one of the top spenders from Divinopolis and one of the Four Young Lords, Harrison was known for his extravagant nights out, often surpassing a million dollars in a single
He was always a prized customer Thi
“Take us to the Emperor Room,” Harrison directed, moving inside with an air of familiarity.
The manager quickly followed, apologizing with a polite smile, “Mr. Zatch, I’m sorry, but the Emperor Room is currently occupied. How about the Dragon Boom instead?”
“That’s fine,” Harrison replied, not too bothered.
He knew the social intricacies of Divinopolis.
Despite his status as a major heir of the Zatch family, there were still those he wouldn’t want to cross
The owner of the karaoke bar, though not from a distinguished family, was a formidable figure with backing from the influential Lewis family.
The Dragon Room was slightly less prestigious than the Emperor Room, but still luxurious and expensive.
With his typical generosity, Harrison ordered bottles of wine costing tens of thousands of dollars each.
Combined with the exorbitant room fee, the evening’s expenses would easily surpass a million–a mere trifle for an heir of his stature.
Sebastian found himself isolated, sitting alone while the others engaged in conversations about every cars and watches–topics he had no stake in
Given their earlier disdain, even if he had something to contribute, he preferred to keep to himself.
As everyone took turns picking songs, they conveniently overlooked Sebastian
The group was quite talented vocally, especially Jenny Her beauty was matched by her sweet, almost professional–level singing voice.
Had she not been born into wealth, she could have easily pursued a successful career in the entertainment industry.
Throughout the evening, drinks flowed freely toward Jenny, who accepted each without refusal.
Before long, her cheeks were flushedcrimson, signaling her growing inebriation
