Fake Friendship
At six in the evening, Sasha went to pick up Matthew with her Maserati and they went straight to The
Court Parlour. Many of them in Eastcliff had heard of this place, but only a handful had actually been
here before. Sitting inside this restaurant, they were amazed by the interior and the luxury of it,
astounded and in awe.
After Matthew and Sasha arrived and greeted everyone, they took a seat in the corner.
Not far off from them, Cecilia was sitting with a few girls. All of them were looking at Matthew with
daggers in their eyes.
Soon, an arrogant-looking woman in thick makeup dressed in luxurious branded clothing paced into the
room.
“Oh, Paris! You’re finally here! This place is truly a high-class place in Eastcliff and regular people can’t
even get in, but I heard that it was your husband who booked a VIP room. Without you, none of us dare
to order anything from the menu,” Cecilia said as she paced toward and welcomed her.
“Why are you afraid to place an order?” Paris asked with a smirk. “Just order anything you like. My
husband is very good friends with the manager here. And you know what? Once, he even had a meal
together with Leanna Sandel, the owner of this place.”
Everyone gasped in disbelief.
Cecilia’s eyes grew large. “Really? Your husband is acquainted with President Sandel? She’s a really
famous career woman in Eastcliff. Even Billy Newman and Timothy Wayne had to show her some
respect. Is that true?”
“Of course that’s true!” Paris answered with a laugh. “Putting aside the fact that she’s a high-net-worth
individual, President Sandel also has her family, the Sandel Family, behind her back. All things
considered, she’s basically the spokesperson for the Ten Greatest Families. So, of course, Billy and
Timothy had to respect the Ten Greatest Families.”
Amazed, everyone thought that Leanna’s name was really influential in Eastcliff.
Then, Paris slipped into the main seat with a nonchalant look in her eyes, as though she was looking
down on everyone in the room.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Sasha simply ignored these people and their false flattery.
Casting a look at Matthew from the corners of her eyes, Cecilia suddenly chuckled. “Oh, Paris, your
husband is such an outstanding person. No wonder they say to not compare yourselves with others. It’s
truly frustrating. Say, do you guys still remember how many rich young men were trying to court Sasha
back then? In the end, she ended up with a live-in son-in-law who leeches off her. Fate is interesting,
isn’t it?”
Hearing that, everyone’s eyes flew toward Matthew and Sasha, looks of curiosity and amusement on
their faces.
However, Sasha merely furrowed her brows tightly as she thought, Cecilia is such a troublemaker. Even
though we’re just sitting quietly here, she starts insulting us out of nowhere. That’s too much!
Paris turned to Sasha. “Oh, when did you get married, Sasha? Why didn’t you inform any of us? Is this
man right here your husband? Where does he work?”
Still fixing their eyes on Sasha, everyone waited for her reply in anticipation. She was once the belle of
the campus, and they all wanted to find out just what kind of man she had married.
But the point here was what Cecilia said earlier. They wanted to know whether it was true that she had
married a live-in son-in-law.
Taking a deep breath, Sasha tried her best to calm herself before saying, “Oh, I got married a short while
after graduation, and I didn’t inform anyone because there wasn’t a huge celebration. This is my
husband, Matthew Larson. He’s working as a department director in a hospital.”
After taking a glance at Matthew, Paris chuckled in indifference. “So, he’s a doctor! Sasha, the number of
people trying to court you back then was so great that they could form a beeline all the way until the
plaza outside of the campus. What were you thinking that you chose to marry a doctor in the end from
the swarm of young, handsome, and talented suitors? Were you so spoiled for choice that you made the
wrong one?”
