Chapter 218

“Joanne, do you ever listen to yourself? Douglas is our best buddy, he will undoubtedly give us a hand
if we need help.”

A man with a square face spoke up. He picked up his glass and downed it in one go.

Charlie glanced over at them briefly. He remembered them as his college mates. The woman’s name
was Joanne Hampton, and the man’s name was Jerry McLean.

Douglas replied timidly, “Oh no, I cannot take credit for all of that. Sigh, it’s a long story, just forget
about it!”

He then looked at Charlie, feeling grateful with a tinge of emotion.

It had been a stroke of misfortune to have been with a cheater and slut that he had almost lost
everything to her, even getting beaten up for that.

Luckily, thanks to Charlie’s help, he was able to reclaim ownership of the restaurant and receive two
million in compensation. Thus, everything that he owned now was literally because of Charlie. He
couldn’t take any credit for that.

Hence, he changed the subject and started, “Anyway, Jerry, you’re pretty well off now, aren’t you? I
heard that you are one of the top executives in your company! I bet you must be making six figures a
year.”

Jerry answered with a sigh, “Ah, forget it. The company doesn’t treat me fairly. I’m about to resign and
send my resume to Spikeworth Corps to try my luck. Remember George? George Harris? I heard that
he is a senior manager there, a solid position! Who would have thought that the kid is doing so well
now!”



“Oh, George…” Douglas managed an awkward smile. He was not on good terms with George, which
was why George had not been invited to tonight’s dinner.

However, Jerry and George were quite close. If Spikeworth accepted him, he would be appointed to a
distinguished position with George’s recommendation.

Loreen spoke after pondering for a while, “I heard that Spikeworth is a big company in Aurous Hill that
has very good reviews. Wow, I didn’t know that George is doing so well now, either.”

Claire was a little stunned when she heard the name of Spikeworth Corps being mentioned.

After breaking her ties with the Wilson family and being kicked out from the Wilson Group, she had
been sending out her resume to a lot of companies over the past few days in hopes of a new job, one
of which was Spikeworth Corps.

Claire said with a smile, “Hey, I also sent my resume to Spikeworth. If we ace the interview, we will
work in the same company.”

Joanne was a little surprised. “Claire, you’ve been working in your family company all these years, why
would you suddenly want to apply for a job at Spikeworth?”

Claire’s smile became a little bitter as she continued, “I’ve cut ties with my family now, so I need to find
a new job. Otherwise, I can’t support my family.”

Upon hearing this, Joanne glanced at Charlie, her gaze full of contempt and disgust. “Charlie, look at
your wife. She has to work so hard for the family. As a man, you are so useless and ignorant to allow
your woman to be so desperate and depressed.”

Jerry was not very close to Charlie, so he laughed unscrupulously. “Charlie, why don’t you try your luck
in George’s company, too? Maybe, based on your qualifications, you are only qualified as the cleaner,



but for the sake of our time spent back in college, he should be able to make you the head of the
cleaning crew.”

Charlie replied flatly, “No thanks, you should keep the benefit for yourselves. I’m not interested.”

Jerry was agitated by Charlie’s indifference, and his tone became more sinister as he said, “Charlie, I
know that you are very egoistic, but just look at yourself now. Everyone is doing better than you. Take
my word of advice, don’t set your expectations too high! Get real!”

Douglas frowned at the bantering and interjected, “Alright, that’s enough! It’s our class reunion today,
don’t bully Charlie like that.”

Then, he turned to Charlie and said apologetically, “Dude, don’t take it personally. You know them, they
have a quick tongue.”

Joanne snorted insolently. “Douglas, we are so frank because Charlie is always laid-back and passive.
He has no ability whatsoever, but he’s pretty good at pretending.”

Jerry added disdainfully, “This is what a deadbeat loser looks like…”
