CHAPTER 76: CHAPTER 76: CLASS REUNION

Seeing Isaac Sutton walk over, the smile on Clara Sterling’s face disappeared, and her gaze instantly turned cold.

Isaac Sutton stopped in front of Clara Sterling, his eyes full of amazement, "Clara, you came."

Isaac Sutton had always known that Clara Sterling was beautiful.

But when they were together in the past, Clara Sterling rarely dressed up, almost always bare-faced, with her clothes worn very plainly.

However, tonight’s Clara Sterling was different. She was so stunning it was hard to look away.

The fitted outfit outlined her perfect figure, with a knee-length skirt that revealed a pair of slender, dazzlingly white long legs.

The wavy hair paired with exquisite makeup shed her youthful innocence, replaced by the graceful and charming maturity of a young woman.

The color of Clara Sterling’s outfit tonight wasn’t particularly eye-catching, in shades close to smog blue and light gray, aiming for a low-key look.

But her bright and stunning face was the most dazzling presence in the crowd.

Clara Sterling’s red lips curved into a cold smile, "It’s our class reunion, why are you here?"

Isaac Sutton was full of deep affection, "Clara, you ask knowingly, I’m here to see you."

Clara Sterling was speechless.

"I thought I made myself clear last time."

Isaac Sutton glanced behind Clara Sterling, "Did you come alone today?"

Clara Sterling answered truthfully, "I came with my husband."

Thinking of Silas Sheffield, Clara Sterling’s eyes softened.

Isaac Sutton caught that softness, his expression froze, and he frowned, "Why did you bring him?"

Clara Sterling chuckled, but her smile was very cold.

"No one said you can’t bring family to a class reunion. You guys keep saying my husband is poor and ugly, so today I’m bringing him to clear things up."

"Clear things up?" Isaac Sutton smirked softly, "With the way your husband looks, coming here just confirms the rumors rather than clearing them up."

After a pause, Isaac Sutton added, "Clara, I’m here to help you clear things up. As long as you agree to divorce that man and reconcile with me, I can help you clarify those rumors."

Isaac Sutton’s eyes were deep, staring unblinkingly at Clara Sterling, "Not only that, but I can also help you find out who spread the rumors and take them to court."

Clara Sterling sneered, "No need for you to worry about it."

With that, Clara Sterling walked past Isaac Sutton.

Lynch Lynch rolled her eyes at Isaac Sutton, "Eldest Young Master Sutton likes to pretend to be poor, doesn’t he? Why not pretend now?"

Isaac Sutton’s face was cold, and he said nothing.

Sharon Shaw also gave Isaac Sutton a disdainful look, "Scumbag! You’re not worthy of Clara."

Clara Sterling scanned the banquet hall but did not see the counselor.

She and her roommate found an empty seat and sat down.

Class President Owen Quinlan pulled Isaac Sutton towards the main table in the center of the banquet hall, "Young Master Sutton, please sit at the main table."

As soon as Isaac Sutton sat down, people came over to flatter him.

Now that Isaac Sutton was no longer pretending to be poor, everyone knew he was the young master of Sutton Group, and soon he was surrounded by a group of people.

Among them, several pretty female classmates cast flirtatious glances at him.

But Isaac Sutton remained cold, too lazy even to give a smile.

He held a glass of red wine, absent-mindedly swirling it, his gaze crossing the crowd to fall on Clara Sterling not far away.

In his heart, no one compared to Clara Sterling.

Lynch Lynch watched this scene and snorted coldly, "Ha, Owen Quinlan really has the natural look of a servant."

Alice Woods said, "You guys might not know, Isaac Sutton called all his classmates over for this class reunion, saying it was for a joint class reunion, but really he just wanted an excuse to see Clara."

Sharon Shaw chimed in, "I know about this. I have a high school friend in Isaac Sutton’s class, and I heard he even offered to sponsor five thousand dollars for drinks just for this joint reunion."

Lynch Lynch sneered, "No wonder Owen Quinlan acts like a eunuch meeting an emperor when he sees Isaac Sutton."

Clara Sterling showed no expression, just said calmly, "I was wondering why there were so many people today, more than half of whom I haven’t seen before."

Lynch Lynch, agitated, cursed, "Tch, that scumbag, pretended to be poor to cheat you for money and feelings when he dated you, then acts all high and mighty after breaking up, it’s disgusting!"

Sharon Shaw: "Yeah, how can someone be so despicable?"

Alice Woods: "I heard Isaac Sutton is already engaged. He has a fiancée and still clings to Clara, what does he take Clara for?"

Clara Sterling picked up a cup and took a sip of tea, smiling indifferently, "What he does has nothing to do with me, I’m already married, and I’m here with my husband today."

Alice Woods and Sharon Shaw were shocked, their voices in unison, "Huh? You’re really married?"

Clara Sterling looked calm, "Mm-hmm."

Sharon Shaw asked, "Then where’s your husband? Why don’t we see him?"

Just as she finished speaking, Joy Shawn walked over, "Hahaha, bet it’s because her husband is too ugly to be seen!"

Joy Shawn gave Clara Sterling a cold gaze, "You really dared to come, huh."

Just then, Owen Quinlan also walked over.

He sized up Clara Sterling, his small triangular eyes full of mockery, "I see you paid for double, did you bring your husband or a sugar daddy today?"

"Can’t show either, can you?" Joy Shawn covered her mouth with a light laugh, "One’s poor and ugly, the other’s an old man, either one you bring is embarrassing!"

The two mocked and humiliated Clara Sterling with their banter.

Some classmates who heard them wore expressions of all sorts.

Clara Sterling, the beauty and academic star, once the campus queen of Crestwood U, was now reduced to a laughingstock.

For a moment, the classmates whispered among themselves, discussing Clara Sterling.

Some who had been sitting at the same table with Clara Sterling even got up to change tables.

Owen Quinlan and Joy Shawn saw the vibe at the scene, laughing wildly and triumphantly, as if they were spirited bullies.

Isaac Sutton noticed the commotion over here and frowned in displeasure.

This pair of fools, don’t they know he’s here today for Clara Sterling?

Who gave them the courage to bully Clara Sterling in front of him?

Isaac Sutton stood up, ready to stand up for Clara Sterling.

Suddenly, the elevator door facing the banquet hall opened slowly.

A group of people emerged and walked straight into the banquet hall.

The man in the lead was tall and straight, with striking and severe features, standing out among the crowd with a noble and aloof demeanor.

Following behind the man were several Crestwood U school leaders.

The principal, walking behind the man, seemed like a sidekick.

The previously noisy crowd fell silent in that instant.
