Chapter 727: Chapter 745: Beautiful and Charming Date (8)

Over the years, the biggest change in Elijah Smith was that he had become much quieter, losing his former mischievousness and talkativeness. He no longer enjoyed making people laugh with his witty remarks. So, even though he attended the gathering organized by Christopher Bell, he felt more like an outsider, sitting quietly, watching the rounds of drinks and feeling even more like a stranger.

At gatherings, it’s inevitable that people will chat about various topics while drinking. When men drink too much, they become as gossip-loving as women.

From which female classmate had slept with her boss and now become a rich madam, to who had given birth to a pair of beautiful twins last month, to the recent successful immigration of the belle from the Economics Department to Hong Kong. Conversations flowed from topic to topic.

Somehow the conversation drifted to Ella Adams.

Elijah Smith, who had been sitting quietly on the sidelines, instantly perked up his ears.

"Speaking of our school’s influential people, our senior Percy Stanton and Ella Adams should be counted among them. We didn’t even know they were successors to the Thompson Empire Group. They always seemed low-key, but who knew they had such a surprising background."

"Yeah, no wonder they are so good-looking, it must be good genes. Rich people now pay attention to genetics."

"We sometimes run into them, and it’s obvious their aura is different."

"Remember, Ella Adams used to be Elijah Smith’s girlfriend."

Ex-girlfriend... These three words were like a sharp knife piercing Elijah Smith’s heart without mercy. The calm and composed Elijah Smith’s fingers trembled fiercely, the strong, mellow wine spilling onto his fingertips, spreading a fragrant aroma.

At the reminder of the old classmate, everyone’s eyes fell on Elijah Smith, looking at him with a touch of emotion.

Elijah Smith remained indifferent, his eyes slightly closed, his long eyelashes casting a beautiful shadow in his eye sockets.

As if the protagonist they were talking about had nothing to do with him.

Since Elijah Smith didn’t speak up, the conversation gradually veered off. Finally, a friend who had drunk a lot, swayed over to Elijah Smith’s side, sat down, and opened his booze-filled mouth: "Elijah Smith, let me ask you something."

Elijah Smith glanced at the friend for a moment, recalled that this person used to be his bunkmate in their university dormitory room. He had once stolen two thousand dollars from his wallet to buy game equipment. Although Elijah knew it was him who stole it, he didn’t care about the money and pretended not to know.

"What’s up?" Elijah Smith interrupted the thought and asked indifferently.

"What was it like to date a rich girl back then? Was Ella Adams good in bed? Do you still have her contact information? Share it!"

In an instant, the previously indifferent and emotionless Elijah Smith splashed all the wine in the glass he was holding into that man’s face.

"Elijah Smith, what are you doing?" The man, who didn’t expect Elijah Smith to suddenly turn on him, jumped up and wiped the wine from his face, angrily shouting.

The attention of everyone in the private booth was drawn to them.

The man continued to shout, "Elijah Smith, stop acting high and mighty. I was showing you respect by talking to you. Did you eat gunpowder? Why are you throwing wine in my face..."

"Crash-" This time, before his cursing finished, the wine glass in Elijah Smith’s hand was already crashing down on the man’s head.
