Chapter 129 Can You Treat Us to a Meal
“This is the treatment you deserve!”
Cherise rolled her eyes. She called Damien her elder brother because she didn’t want others to know she married a rich man, worrying they would treat her differently. But now… the outcome seemed to be no different.
The two girls continued chatting until they reached the classroom. Cherise opened the box and distributed the papers. “Everyone, please do your correction. I’ll collect the papers again tomorrow.”
Then, Cherise returned to her seat and packed, preparing to leave. However, to her surprise, her classmates remained seated. All eyes were on her. Cherise stopped packing her bag and asked, “Is there… anything else?”
Sunny Wood, the class monitor, stood up and cleared his throat. “Cherise, since the mid- term results are released, we’re considering going out to unwind. Maybe have a meal together or go to the karaoke.”
Startled, Cherise instinctively checked the time. She remembered Damien was going to talk business on her behalf today. She pressed her lips. “I can join, but I have to reach home by 10 p.m.”
Sunny shook his head. “Cherise, we’re not asking if you’re joining, but…”
you
He let out an awkward cough before continuing. “We’re all classmates. When had financial difficulties back then, all of us helped you. In the last few months, when your grandmother fell sick, we also raised funds as a class. Now that you’ve returned to your rich family, can you…”
Lucy furrowed her brows. “Are you asking Cherise to pay for you guys?”
The class fell silent while Sunny nodded. “Yes. We had to resit the paper because of Cherise’s mistake. It isn’t too much to ask for a meal, right? Moreover, given her status now, she wouldn’t care about such a small amount of money.”
Lucy was irritated. The money doesn’t belong to Cherise. Don’t you think this is too much?” She knew Cherise was stubborn. Ever since she married Damien, she didn’t even buy new clothes for herself. How could she use Damien’s money to buy her classmates a meal?
Sunny rolled his eyes at Lucy. “Cherise is like a princess now. Her family’s money will be passed down to her sooner or later. She hasn’t said no, so why are you causing trouble here?”
Sitting at her desk, Cherise dug her nails into her palm Moments later, she lifted her head and smiled at Sunny “I can buy you guys a meal. Have you thought of where to go?”
Her classmates burst into a cheer upon hearing her response.
Sunny wore an obsequious look and said, “Yeah We chose Viopril Palace!
by gasped when she heard the place. Before he could remind Cherise, the naive girl nodded and agreed. “Okay, we’ll meet there tonight then’
Two days ago, she had just received her scholarship worth ten thousand. Assuming th would cost at most a few thousand to treat the whole class to a meal, Cherise thought she could afford it
Sunny nodded excitedly. “Sure” See you guys at 8 pm. at Viopril Palace! With that, her class dispersed immediately as if they were worried Cherise would change her mind.
In no time, only Lucy and Cherise were left in the classroom.
“You silly girl! Why did you agree with them?” Lucy walked up to Cherise and poked her forehead with her finger.
