The Wrong Woman

Chapter 996

"500. I'll give 500 too..."

Suddenly, everyone eagerly took out their phones, ready to transfer the money to Imogen.

Pulling her phone back, Imogen stood up and said, "You guys don't have to transfer anything. Your gift money can cover the cost of this meal.

"If it's not enough, whoever organized this gathering should make up the difference. I'm broke and can't pay a cent."

With that, Imogen grabbed her bag and left. A few classmates panicked.

Two female classmates who were somewhat closer to Imogen caught up with her in the hallway. They pulled her aside and said, "Imogen, the reunion isn't over yet. Leaving like this isn't appropriate."

The other was defending Imogen. She said, "Scarlett did this on purpose. She's been targeting you all night. If you leave because you're humiliated by her, you're playing right into her hands."

"Exactly. You shouldn't let them mock you like this."

Imogen resigned. She said with a faint smile, "I appreciate your concern. Maybe I'm just not suitable to be at these kinds of places and these kinds of occasions. I..."

But before Imogen could finish her sentence, a familiar male voice called out, "Imogen?"

She and her classmates turned toward the voice. At that moment, Imogen was stunned.

Jasper was dressed in a suit, looking dapper and elegant. He had just come out from another private room, accompanied by several equally well- dressed men, including some well-known business tycoons.

Imogen guessed that he was having social activities or treating clients to a meal, but having social activities at a five-star hotel seemed extravagant. Jasper turned around to face his companions and said, "You all may go back first. I have something to take care of." "Yer, Mr-"

Jasper immediately interrupted, "Don't talk anymore. Just go back." They nodded respectfully before leaving.

Jasper walked up to Imogen. Then, he asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

Imogen felt down as she replied softly, "I'm attending my high school reunion, but it's over now. I—"

"It's not over," her classmate interrupted. She was very excited as she kept staring at Jasper's handsome face.

She walked toward Imogen and held her arms. She shyly asked, "Imogen, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"

Before Imogen could speak, another

female classmate stepped up to Jasper and extended her hand. She greeted Jasper with a smile. "I'm Noemi Britt, a high school classmate of tmogen."

The other female classmate also greeted him. Jasper shook hands with each of them. He smiled as he said, "I'm Asher, Imogen's husband." "Husband?" The two classmates were shocked.

Imogen hurried over to Jasper's side. Tugging at his sleeve, she said, "The reunion is over. Let's go home."

"It's not over yet," the classmates

insisted, not wanting to miss this precious opportunity. They pulled Jasper and Imogen back inside and said, "Since we ran into each other, let's get to know more about each other. Come on. Sit with us."

Jasper was curious to meet Imogen's classmates, so he allowed himself to be led inside.

Imogen nervously pulled his hand and said, "Don't go in. Let's leave."

Jasper was puzzled. Sensing her distress, he asked, "What's wrong?"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Imogen shook her head as she didn't know how to explain the situation to him. She was okay if she was being mistreated, but she didn't want Jasper to face their insults and mockery.

The two female classmates were no pushovers, so they were very enthusiastic as they pulled Jasper into the room.

They energetically announced, "Everyone, meet Asher. He is our beautiful Imogen's husband."

The room fell silent as all eyes were on Jasper in shock and admiration.
