Chapter 390
"Tara, you've arrived!" Danny immediately stood up to greet her.
Tara looked effortlessly beautiful in a light blue simple dress. Her skin was fair and flawless, with a hint of natural pink. Her long, black, wavy hair added to her allure, embodying a sophisticated charm that made all the other women present pale in comparison.
Even many top-tier celebrities on TV could not match Tara's elegance.
"Is that you, Danny?" Tara looked at Danny, who was dressed like a true gentleman.
"Haha, it's me! I didn't expect that you would still remember me after so many years." Danny felt honored that the school beauty had recognized him at first glance.
He hurriedly went over to pull out a chair for Tara. "Tara, please sit here."
Misty saw this, and her face turned pale with irritation. She felt that Tara had disrupted her potential romantic moment!
"Thank you." Tara politely thanked him and then said to Cameron, "Cameron, let's sit here."
"Okay." Cameron smiled and nodded.
As Tara spoke, everyone's attention shifted to Cameron. They had been too busy admiring Tara until then. They felt that Tara was as beautiful as before! In comparison, they felt that Cameron seemed much more ordinary. Apart from being tall and handsome, his simple attire made it clear he wasn't particularly wealthy.
People only cared about wealth these days.
"Tara, is this your new boyfriend?" Danny couldn't help asking as the two sat down.
"Yes." Tara nodded lightly.
Danny felt disappointed immediately. When he first heard the rumor in their group chat that Tara had a boyfriend, he didn't believe it. But now his heart sank after seeing it was true. Tara had always been the goddess he secretly admired during high school.
He had hoped that making big money in business and organizing this class reunion could help him win over Tara once and for all. Yet, he was baffled by the fact that some guy had beaten him to it!
Feeling uneasy, Danny still pretended to be nice. "Young man, congratulations on winning Tara's heart. You should know Tara wasn't just the beauty of our class but the school beauty as well. There were at least eight hundred guys secretly admiring her, including us, haha."
While Danny's words seemed congratulatory, they were laced with malice.
He understood that no man liked to think that other men were still interested in their girlfriend, especially if those men were considered to be more successful or desirable than them.
The other classmates understood Danny's intentions and shifted uncomfortably. Deep inside, Tara felt angry at Danny's blatant provocation.
"Thank you for your blessings, Danny." Cameron just smiled amiably, seemingly unaffected by the hostility emanating from Danny.
Danny internally scoffed as he dismissed Cameron as a pushover.
He was determined to embarrass Cameron in front of everyone, especially in front of Tara today.
Thinking this, Danny grandly gestured, "Now that almost everyone is here, let's get the party started!."
The most important person, Tara, had arrived. Anyone else who hadn't yet was inconsequential.
"Danny, what about Jim and Hayley? Why aren't they here yet? I'm waiting for their wedding announcement so I can attend their wedding!" a man suddenly asked.
"They'll be here soon. Let's start eating. They said they were trying on engagement rings," Danny replied.
Everyone took their seats, and Danny instructed the waitstaff to begin serving.
While waiting, Danny noticed Tara's
bare ring finger. A scheming look flashed in his eyes as he stirred the pot. "ara, how long have you and your boyfriend been together? Doesn't spend money on you? How
come he hasn't even bought you a decent bracelet or ring?"
