Chapter 9: Classmates’ Contempt
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“May, Lily, what are the two of you talking about?” Dominic yelled, feeling irritated.
“Was 1 wrong? Would this penniless food delivery person have the money to join a dinner party?
“We had so many dinner parties together as a class, but have you ever seen him join one?”
May responded while rolling her eyes.
“I’ll pay for Connor if he doesn’t have the money. Is it really necessary for all of you to humiliate him like this?” said Spencer, who stepped forward. He could not stand them anymore.
“Hoho. Spencer, since you’re so wealthy, why don’t you pay for me as well?” Brandon shouted with a poker face after he heard what Spencer said.
Spencer turned to glance at Brandon. A hint of uncertainty flashed across his eyes. Even though Spencer’s family was doing quite well, his family’s wealth was nothing compared to Brandon’s. Therefore, he could only shut up.
“I’ll pay for Connor. We’re all classmates. Was all of this necessary?” Eunice yelled with a frown. She could not stand them too.
Suddenly, Connor said nonchalantly, “Eunice, you don’t have to pay for me. I have the money!”
When Connor’s classmates heard him say that, they were stunned. All of them had very strange expressions.
None of them expected Connor to agree to come to the dinner party out of the blue!
After all, Connor was currently in junior year, so he had been classmates with everyone for three whole years.
Usually, Connor did not join them no matter the kind of get-together that was held. There was only one reason behind it; he had no money.
When Brandon heard Connor say that he had the money, Brandon immediately laughed. “Yeah, right. The food delivery guy has the money to join a dinner party? Connor, how about this. Why don’t you treat the whole class to a meal?”
“Brandon, don’t joke around. If the pauper treats us all to a meal, 1’11 immediately go and eat poop!”
Suddenly, a guy with an unkempt and sleazy face shouted arrogantly.
Connor said nonchalantly, “Alright. Since everyone wants me to treat the class to a meal that badly, then 1 will treat everyone to a meal!”
The sleazy-faced guy’s smile instantly froze when he heard Connor’s words.
Everyone around them was surprised. Nobody expected Connor to agree to Brandon’s request.
After Brandon heard Connor say that he would treat everyone to a meal, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
He could not understand it; why would a pauper like Connor, who delivered food to earn money, suddenly turn over a new leaf and spend a big sum of money on treating everyone to a meal?
Even Mandy was currently looking at Connor in shock. However, she quickly regained her composure. Connor was definitely posing. How could he possibly have the money to treat everyone to a meal?
When Mandy thought about it, she felt glad that she had broken up with Connor.
Otherwise, she would definitely feel so embarrassed right now.
In her eyes, Connor was a loser who did not strive to improve himself. Not only was he penniless, but he was also a poser!
“What’s up with Con today?” Dominic was also puzzled right now.
“I have no idea. Maybe he can’t get over how his girlfriend left him for someone else, so he bit the bullet and agreed!”
Spencer whispered. Then, he added, “Treating the whole class to a meal would just cost two thousand dollars. In the worst-case scenario, the two of us will foot the bill for him!” “Alright! If we split it by half, it would be one thousand each.”
Dominic nodded. At that moment, he felt a little sympathetic toward Connor.
“What’s gotten into you, Connor? Not only are you joining our dinner party, but you’re also treating us to a meal. Could it be that you’re just talking big?” May teased Connor with contempt.
“Yeah. If you’re really treating us to a meal, then Melvin would have to eat poop!” Lily added.
Melvin Jones was the sleazy-faced guy who said he would eat poop if Connor treated everyone to a meal.
“Well, isn’t it just a meal?” Connor responded indifferently. He then turned to Melvin and said, “When will you give everyone a show of you eating poop?”
“If you have the guts to treat us, then 1 have the guts to eat poop!
“However, you’re not planning on taking us to a food court, right?” Melvin spoke to Connor disdainfully.
“Connor worked hard to treat us to a meal. How could we possibly go to a food court? It should at least be Brasserie Le Bernardini” Brandon jeered.
“Brasserie Le Bernardin?”
Connor could not help but shake his head when he heard Brandon’s words.
“Yes, exactly. Connor, if you treat us to a meal at Brasserie Le Bernardin, 1’11 eat poop for everyone to see!” Melvin quickly added.
“What’s the verdict, Connor? Since you intend to treat everyone to a meal, Brasserie Le Bernardin shouldn’t be a problem, right?” asked Brandon with a vile smirk.
“No problem. Brasserie Le Bernardin it is!” Connor replied nonchalantly.
Once again, his classmates were stunned by his words!
All of them knew that Brasserie Le Bernardin was where the state banquets were held. All of the chefs there cooked for the nation’s leaders.
Treating the whole class to a meal would cost at least forty to fifty thousand dollars. How could Connor possibly afford it?
“Has Connor gone crazy? Why did he agree to it?” Dominic gasped lowly. If they went to a normal food court, both he and Spencer could afford to pay for the meal if they each paid half.
However, if it was Brasserie Le Bernardin, the two of them would not even be able to afford it even if they sold themselves for money!
“Going to Brasserie Le Bernardin isn’t a problem. However, 1 have one condition.”
At that moment, Connor suddenly spoke.
“What’s the condition?” Brandon asked while looking at Connor.
“For today’s dinner party at Brasserie Le Bernardin, you and I divide the check by fifty-fifty. How does that sound?”
“Hoho, fifty-fifty?”
Brandon sneered and said with contempt, “Not a problem. The cost for today’s dinner party, we’ll split it fifty-fifty.
“Brandon, you’re a champ!”
“Whoa, I’m actually going to dine at Brasserie Le Bernardin!”
Their classmates burst into cheers when they heard what Brandon said.
A meal at Brasserie Le Bernardin with this many people would cost at least forty to fifty thousand dollars.
Even though it was only half of the check, it still amounted to more than twenty thousand.
Even though this pained Brandon a little, it did not mean that he could not afford the amount. On the contrary, he felt like Connor could not shell out the amount of money.
“Connor, just you wait. I’ll see what you’ll do when we pay for the check later!”
Brandon looked at Connor’s back and smirked..
