Chapter 949

Sasha’s Admirer

Knitting his brows in confusion, Matthew asked, “Are you guys going ahead with this gathering? I thought
it would be canceled after that unpleasant incident with Cecilia.”

Dumbstruck, Sasha uttered, “I don’t know what’s going on, either. Whatever it is, a few of my ex-
classmates called me and said that I have to attend the gathering this time, but I don’t think Cecilia and
her friends will be coming this time. Alright, that’s it. Don’t think too much about it and just take it that
you’re there for your dinner tonight.”

……

Meanwhile, in a hotel room in Eastcliff, Cecilia was sitting on the couch, looking very depressed. The
last time, she drank so much that she threw up blood and was hospitalized for a couple of days. Since
then, she had been feeling disgruntled. But seeing how much respect the Lachs had for Matthew, she
didn’t dare to have her revenge against him and could only suppress her anger.

Suddenly, the door burst open and a girl ran into the room. “Cecilia, the alumni dinner is tonight. Hurry up
and get ready! Let’s go together!”

Confused, Cecilia asked, “Alumni dinner? You’re actually gonna attend this gathering? Aren’t you
embarrassed after what happened with Matthew the last time? It’ll be so awkward if we see him again
tonight!”

The girl who came in was Anna, the same girl who was in the club with Cecilia the last time. She, too,
had to drink so much that she threw up, and her situation wasn’t any better than Cecilia. With a snort,
she answered, “I’m asking you to go precisely because Matthew will be attending as well tonight. And do
you know who else will be there tonight?”

“Who?” Cecilia asked, intrigued.



A gleeful smile spread across Anna’s face. “Our class monitor, Lincoln Zink!”



Cecilia’s eyes widened. “You’re kidding me. Didn’t Lincoln already leave the country? Is he back now?”

“Not only is he back now, but I heard that he really struck it rich overseas and is now an investor in Wall
Street. He came back this time to invest in a few projects. I also heard that he already met the Ten
Greatest Families of Eastcliff and got along really well with them.”

“For real?” Cecilia gasped. “My goodness, Lincoln is something else, indeed! I knew back then that he’s
not your average Joe, but I didn’t think he’d be doing so well now. By the way, is he single?”

“Stop it with your infatuation over him, girl,” Anna jested, giggling. “You know very well who he likes. So
even if he’s single, you don’t stand a chance at all!”

Embarrassed, Cecilia gritted her teeth. “I-I’m not infatuated with him! What I want to know is whether he’s
still interested in Sasha if he’s not married yet.”

“That’s the main reason why I’m asking you to attend the gathering! Somebody told me that Lincoln
asked around about Sasha after his return, and he even looked for his friends, asking them for their help
to get Sasha to attend the gathering tonight. Here’s the thing: Lincoln is still single. I think he plans to
continue wooing her. Looks like he’s determined to win her heart this time.”

Cecilia’s eyes lit up. “Really? That’s amazing!” She chortled. “Things are looking real fun tonight if
Matthew shows up with Sasha. Lincoln had been wooing Sasha the whole time in school. Even though
he was unsuccessful, there was no one in school who didn’t know about his infatuation with Sasha. Now
that he has a successful career and returned home in glory, do you think Sasha will give in to him?”



Smirking, Anna replied, “Who cares whether he will win Sasha’s heart? No matter what, things will get
interesting tonight. Do you remember how cocky Matthew looked the last time we saw him? I wonder if
he can retain that cocky look in front of Lincoln. All we have to do tonight is to go there and enjoy the
show.”

Tightening her jaw as she gritted her teeth, Cecilia had the same thought as Anna—to attend the
gathering so they could watch Matthew embarrass himself.
