Chapter 33 - Chapter 33: Attending a High School Reunion

  The conversation between the two ended on an awkward and marvelous note.

  The good news is that Vanessa didn't ask him for any money, he automatically transferred 2 million dollars to her, and gave her a secondary card, saying that she should attend the reunion properly, and don't dress too shabbily to embarrass him.

  After he left, Vanessa was so happy that she almost jumped up to the ceiling, he is simply a fairy gold master, playing money is really fast!

  Returning to the familiar Los Angeles, Vanessa took a deep breath, it turned out that there was no difference between the Los Angeles of her world and the Los Angeles of the novel.

  It was still the same familiar buildings and pleasant weather.

  Except when she found the street where she used to live, the house wasn't hers to rent anymore, and she didn't recognize the neighbors around her.

  It dawned on her that it was still two worlds.

  In this fictional world, Vanessa Monroe doesn't own any property in Los Angeles either, having sold it when her mother became ill.

  So when she came here, she directly booked the presidential suite of the most luxurious hotel!

  ...

  Saturday evening.

  The class reunion is set in a top entertainment club, which is booked by John Miller, the best classmate of the high school family, who is responsible for the expenses of the whole reunion, and this classmate is also the boy who Ava Carter said had bullied the original owner before.

  Since it's going to be a face-punching cool storyline.

  Vanessa rents a Ferrari sports car, goes to Ava Carter's house, and brings her along to the location of the reunion.

  "My dear Vanessa, you really became rich?!" Ava Carter instantly exclaimed in surprise when she first saw her BFF sitting in the Ferrari parked in front of her house.

  Ava Carter looked as sweet as she sounded, dressed in a princess dress.

  "Haven't really gotten rich yet. I rented this car! My beautiful princess, please get in!" Vanessa stepped out of the car and opened the passenger door for Ava Carter.

  Along the way, Vanessa side-stepped Ava Carter and found out, from Ava Carter's mouth, what Vanessa Monroe had been up to in high school.

  When Vanessa Monroe was in high school, her parents divorced due to a relationship disagreement, and her father, who had doted on Vanessa Monroe, almost like a different person, also gave up raising Vanessa Monroe and moved from Los Angeles to live in San Francisco.

  From then until her mother's death, and now, they have had no contact.

  In high school, a sensitive time for teenagers, Vanessa Monroe was the only one who seemed somber and unapproachable when everyone was very cheerful and lively.

  So when John Miller, the naughtiest and best-endowed student in the class, starts to verbally bully her, all the students begin to isolate her, except of course for Ava Carter, the angel of justice and friendliness.

  Although the bullying didn't reach the level of school violence, it still left Vanessa Monroe with quite a shadow.

  After graduating from high school, she was the one who never once attended the annual class reunion, except for this one of course.

  After arriving at the clubhouse, Vanessa found that the behavior of relying on a luxury car to hit her face failed ....

  Because the car needs to be parked in the underneath parking lot, it is not allowed to park in front of the main door.

  So the image she had imagined of her and Ava Carter getting out of the limousine and shining under the envious and jealous gazes of their classmates was no longer there.

  The third floor of this clubhouse was wrapped up with their class reunion, and when Vanessa and Ava Carter walked in, Vanessa felt like she had a case of 'seeing a man and comparing that man to Ethan Blackwood'.

  Some of these suited male classmates, some of whom she would have considered to be pretty good looking in her previous life, but looking at them now, they just really didn't compare to Ethan Blackwood's face, demeanor...etc. were no match for Ethan Blackwood.

  And the students present saw Ava Carter come in on the arm of a glitter and beautiful girl and swept over with surprised and curious gazes.

  Who didn't recognize that it was Vanessa Monroe, the most autistic student in their class.

  In high school, Vanessa Monroe had long bangs, almost half of her face was blocked by her hair, and she rarely communicated with her classmates, so by now, no one knew what Vanessa Monroe looked like.

   "It's been a long time, Ava, and this lady beside you?" One of the girls, who was still chatting with Ava Carter, stepped forward to greet her.

  "Lady? Hahaha, you all can't have failed to recognize her, can you? She's Vanessa Monroe," Ava Carter covered her mouth and laughed.

  "Vanessa Monroe? No way? She's really Vanessa Monroe?" the girls looked at Vanessa incredulously, shock and disbelief in their eyes.

  "Of course, as in fake!" Ava Carter laughed and patted Vanessa on the arm, giving Vanessa a 'smug' look, "See, they're going to drop their jaws when they see you."

  Other students who heard the commotion over here gathered around, shocked that Vanessa Monroe turned out to be so good looking while passing the news on to the others.

  John Miller, the classmate who had invited the guests, came in at the last possible moment and was instantly greeted warmly by the other students as soon as he stepped in the room.

  Ava Carter pulled Vanessa over to the side table as if she'd seen it all before, chucking in a snack, "Come and have a bite to eat, and by the way, tell me how you're doing in New York?"

  "It's pretty good, going to work every day is easy, just the weather is a little worse than LA." Vanessa took a snack in her mouth as well.

  The two chatted away, Vanessa was kind of regretting coming to this inexplicable reunion, it was a bit boring except for chatting with Ava Carter for a while.

  She should have asked Ava Carter out for a play date alone.

  "Vanessa Monroe, long time no see." John Miller walked up to Vanessa with a glass of champagne and raised his glass in greeting.

  Vanessa just nodded her head with her glass in greeting, "Long time no see."
