Yvonne Foster chatted and laughed with everyone, speaking with great poise and making people feel refreshed when talking to her. She won the favor of almost everyone present. It could be said that Yvonne Foster completely outshone Robert Miller and Emily Cooper at this moment.

Emily Cooper was just as shocked, but she also felt a twinge of competitiveness in her heart. She used to be the most popular girl in the class, and just now, most people had come over to talk to her. Now, however, Yvonne Foster had stolen the spotlight, and she couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

What annoyed her most was that David Clark was now holding a crab claw in his mouth, staring straight at Yvonne Foster without moving for quite a while.

"Hey! Can you show a bit of professionalism?" Emily Cooper poked David Clark, her face full of anger.

"Oh..." David Clark responded, glanced at Yvonne Foster again, and then reluctantly turned his head to look at Emily Cooper, saying, "What is it?"

"You're supposed to be pretending to be my boyfriend right now. Don't you think it's a bit much to be staring at another woman like that?"

"You're right. Then I won't look at her." After saying this, David Clark stared straight at Emily Cooper.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Anyone would feel uncomfortable being stared at like that, and Emily Cooper couldn't help but frown deeply.

David Clark replied earnestly, "Aren't I pretending to be your boyfriend? Of course I can only look at you."

"You... go to hell!" Emily Cooper angrily threw a crab at David Clark.

The arrival of Yvonne Foster brought the atmosphere of the class reunion to a new high. Robert Miller was now feeling a bit conflicted. He had just openly expressed his fondness for Emily Cooper, and now it would be too much to start fawning over Yvonne Foster. After everyone exchanged greetings, he loudly announced, "Everyone! Now that everyone is here, it's time to bring out my treasure. I specially asked a friend to buy this Lafite in France. Today, I'm letting everyone have a taste."

"Lafite? What's Lafite?" Everyone looked at the bottle in Robert Miller's hand in confusion.

Seeing that no one knew what Lafite was, Robert Miller's smile grew even wider. He said, "Lafite is the most famous wine in France. Even an ordinary bottle sells for thousands, and the one I have here is from '93—one bottle is worth over ten thousand, and right now in China, you can't even buy it even if you have the money."

"My god, a bottle of wine costs over ten thousand? That's not drinking wine, that's drinking money." Most people here were from humble backgrounds; they wouldn't even splurge on a bottle costing a few dozen, let alone one worth tens of thousands.

At this moment, Jessica Brooks's eyes lit up as she said, "It's more than ten thousand! I heard someone say just a couple of days ago that a bottle of '95 Lafite now goes for over forty thousand. This one is from '93, aged two years more than the '95, so it must be worth another ten or twenty thousand more."

Everyone gasped in astonishment again, but Yvonne Foster glanced at Jessica Brooks and frowned slightly.

No one was paying attention to Yvonne Foster at this moment. Robert Miller was even more pleased with himself, chuckling as he said, "If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be willing to share, but today is a class reunion. If I still couldn't bear to open it, that would be too stingy."

Jessica Brooks eagerly said, "Then hurry and let everyone have a taste. Only Boss Miller could be so generous, letting us drink a bottle of Lafite worth fifty or sixty thousand."

Robert Miller turned to look at Emily Cooper, "Wine is meant to be drunk, but this kind of high-end wine is extremely prestigious. We can't disgrace it. All of you are my good friends, my buddies, so everyone can drink it. However..." Ethan Sullivan paused here, his gaze sweeping over to David Clark, a teasing smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "But if you're not my classmate, then... you can't have any."

Chapter 14: Forcing Someone into a Role

David Clark had come with Emily Cooper. Earlier, Jessica Brooks had snubbed David Clark, and Emily Cooper couldn't really fall out with her over it. But now that Robert Miller was targeting David Clark like this, Emily Cooper couldn't stand it any longer. She suddenly stood up, glared coldly at Robert Miller, and said angrily, "Robert Miller, I don't care what your intentions are, but insulting David Clark like this is disrespectful to me. David Clark... let's go!"

When Robert Miller saw that Emily Cooper was truly angry, he immediately regretted it. Having been around the block for years, he had some ability to adapt. He laughed and said, "Emily, I was just joking with Brother David. How could you take it seriously? Out of all our classmates, you're the only one who brought a boyfriend. It's not too much for us to tease him a little, is it?"

"Exactly! Emily, everyone is just joking," Jessica Brooks chimed in.

Everyone else also tried to persuade Emily Cooper. After all, they were all classmates. Even if Emily Cooper didn't care about Robert Miller's feelings, she couldn't offend all the other classmates.

"Emily, everyone here is a classmate, but David Clark is different. From the perspective of classmates, he's our guest. So not only can David Clark drink this wine, he should be the first to try it."

Seeing Robert Miller say this, Emily Cooper couldn't say anything more. Even though she knew Robert Miller was up to no good, leaving now would make her seem unreasonable.
