The Super Son-in-law

Chapter 27 Class Reunion

As she spoke, Mia couldn't help but sigh.

"I wonder what background this person has. To be able to book this place, they must be incredibly powerful!"

Alan deliberately smiled and said, "Maybe it's someone who loves his wife and wants to throw her a wedding here!"

Mia exclaimed in surprise, "Hold a wedding for his wife here?

He must really love his wife. She's so lucky!"

Hearing his wife's words, Alan felt a surge of happiness.

It seemed the venue he chose for their wedding anniversary would definitely satisfy her!

The two arrived at Sky City and took their reserved seats.

Caroline soon joined them.

"Mia!" "Caroline!" The two girlfriends embraced at once, their joy palpable.

They then spent a long time chatting hand-in-hand about old memories, gradually calming down.

Caroline said, "Mia, aren't you being too extravagant? Choosing to dine at Sky City!"

Mia smiled, "Since you're here, of course I have to splurge!"

Caroline giggled, "You're truly my best friend!"

Mia admitted, "To be honest, I wouldn't even qualify to book a meal here normally.

"This seat was actually reserved for me by Vivian, the vice chairman of the Delaney Group, using her membership card!"

Caroline sighed, "Sky City does seem to have extremely high requirements, like being a diamond member or something?"

Mia nodded, "To be honest, this is my first time coming up here!"

Caroline smiled, "Thank you so much!"

Then she added, "Oh, by the way, when I came up earlier, I saw a notice outside saying Sky City is booked privately in three days?"

"Yes," Mia said, "It's so strange. Sky City never accepted private bookings before. I wonder what's different this time."

Caroline nodded and continued casually,

"Recently, there's been a top tycoon from Pras City on short-video platforms. He bought a necklace with a dozen Rolls-Royces, dozens of men in black, and $5 million in cash. Did you guys see that video?"

Alan shook his head, while Mia said, "I did. The was incredible."

Caroline said, "Everyone's guessing who he is."

Mia replied, "What's there to guess?"

Caroline laughed, "Everyone wants to know who's so imposing. Some people say it must be the new chairman of the Delaney Group."

Alan's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

Caroline went on, "And today, Sky City at the Ritz-Carlton is booked privately.

I have a feeling the person who booked Sky City is the same one who bought the jade necklace in the video."

"In three days, I have to come here and see who on earth has so much influence to book out Sky City!"

Upon hearing this, Alan felt a sudden surge of frustration.

He had only wanted to surprise his wife and make up for the wedding he hadn't been able to give her years ago.

But he hadn't wanted to draw so much attention.

It seemed he had underestimated the influence of Sky City.

Presumably, many people in Pras City now shared Caroline's curiosity and wanted to see who had booked the venue.

This was getting tricky.

He needed to contact Claude in advance and make thorough preparations.

No matter what, his identity must not be revealed.

During the meal, Caroline said to the two, "Since I'm in Pras City this time, I've also made plans with our old classmates. They want to take this opportunity to have a class reunion. What do you two think?"

Alan immediately replied, "You guys go ahead with the reunion. I won't be joining."

"Why not?" Caroline asked. "Although we weren't college classmates for four years, we still shared a year of school together!"

When Alan was taken in by the old master of the Mill family, the master had sent him to Pras City University to study as a senior in the same class as Mia for a year, hoping they would get to know each other in advance.

They had married shortly after graduating from their senior year.

But Alan had only been classmates with those students for one year, and most of them had always looked down on him. He had no real connection with them, so the idea of a class reunion held no appeal for him.

Mia also didn't feel like attending the class reunion, so she said, "Alan and I won't go. I haven't kept in touch with most classmates since graduation."

Caroline hurriedly said, "The main reason for organizing this class reunion is that Norris from our class opened a restaurant, which will launch tomorrow.

He's rallying everyone to visit his restaurant and have a meal together to show support."

She added, "Look, it's his grand opening. Wouldn't it be inappropriate not to go?"

Just then, all three of their phones rang with notifications from social media apps.

They each took out their phones and saw that Norris had created a class group, which quickly reached over thirty members.

Norris wrote in the group: "Dear old classmates, my newly invested small restaurant will officially open tomorrow at noon.

The restaurant is in Pras City. I hope classmates who are in Pras City can come to show your support and have a gathering!

Coincidentally, classmate Caroline—one of the two great beauties in our class—has also come to work in Pras City.

She will attend the gathering as well. It is said that Caroline is still single, so the bachelors in the group can seize the opportunity quickly!

Immediately, a flood of replies followed:

"Congratulations!"

"Caroline is in Pras City?"

"Why haven't I heard about this?"

"Will definitely be there!"

"What about the other beauty in our class, Mia?

Is she coming?"

"I heard Mia is with that transfer student Alan from our class?"

"I heard Alan became a live-in son-in-law of the Mill family?"

"I heard that too. I wonder if it's true?"

"Haven't seen either of them since graduation."

"I heard their marriage is just for show, with no real intimacy. Is that true?"

After reading these messages, Mia said to Alan, "Don't take it to heart."

Alan smiled faintly, "It's fine. They're just stating the facts. I've gotten used to it long ago."

Caroline quickly replied in the group, "Stop spreading rumors!

I'm having dinner with the couple right now!

They're deeply in love!"

"It's Caroline!"

A swarm of "simps" quickly chimed in.

At this moment, someone @Alan in the group—the group owner Norris.

"Alan, although you didn't stay in our class for long, we had a pretty good relationship at school.

You and your wife must come tomorrow!"

Alan had a good impression of Norris. This guy was indeed nice, always amiable to everyone and never casually sarcastic or derogatory, making him one of the few classmates Alan had a decent relationship with.

Seeing Norris's message, Alan immediately replied: "Okay, we'll definitely come to show our support tomorrow."

Norris instantly responded: "That's great! We'll have a good gathering tomorrow!"

After Alan agreed to the class reunion, Mia reminded him,

"Norris's restaurant is opening. We should prepare a gift—we can't go empty-handed."

Alan nodded and said, "I'll buy a gift for him tomorrow morning."

Mia said, "Alright. Coincidentally, I need to go to the Delaney Group tomorrow morning."

Caroline asked in surprise, "You're coming to Delaney tomorrow morning?"
