Chapter 316
When Lydia heard that there was a good show,, she was more enthusiastic than anyone else. "What is it! Let me seel" Selina similed mysteriously. "Let me keep you in suspense for now. Let's talk about it when we get to the meeting place." Lyda grumbled. "Come on, Selina, when did you become so secretive? Boohoo! I have to hold back my curiosity again!" I
In a secluded garden in Solovis located the restaurant Malcolm especially invested in after Selina and Lydu lived in Sokovis. The garden was located on the top floor, the Sith floor, of the Mini Tower. It was surrounded by exotic, colorful, and rare plants, which were watered 24 hours a day and taken care of by professional landscapers. A three-star Michelin chef from Mumzik was invited to receive distinguished guests of Malcolm, the top lawyer of Liberty Law Firm. The restaurant was not open to the public. The daily operating expenses alone were in six figures, but for Malcolm, that was a small amount of money.
"Malcolm Benjamin!" Selina ran over happily and hugged Malcolm and Benjamin tightly.
Then, Malcolm and Benjamin looked at Jeffrey. "Hi, Jeffrey,"
Jeffrey greeted them. "It's been a while, Malcolm, BenjaminNôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Lydia said dissatisfiedly. "Hey, have you guys forgotten about me?"
Malcolm poked Lydia's forehead. "How can we forget about you, attention seeker?"
Lydia pouted. "Damn it! Malcolm, we haven't seen each other for months, and you called me an attention seeker as soon as we met. Am I that desperate for attention? You are so mean!"
Malcolm said. There is plenty of time for jokes. Today, the five of us gathered here to enjoy the beautiful scenery, fine wine, and delicious food. Let's sit down and cut,"
Lydia agreed to what Malcolm said and nudged him. "Humph, badass Malcolm! I let you go for now since what you said makes sense."
"Hal" Everyone laughed. The five fellow students under the same mentor finally gathered together today after 11 months. They laughed and talked about each other's experiences over the years, drank fine wine, and are delicious food. They looked at the high-rise buildings, the endless trathe, and the bustling night scenes and sang songs.
Selina's cheeks we
were a little red from drinking. Perhaps she was drunk or just happy. Anyway, she hadn't felt so good for a long time. For the others, t was only 11 months. For her, it was a lifetime away, which was a very, very long time.
Benjamin sighed softly. "W
"What a shame! Mentor disappeared for so long
without saying a w
a word and never came to see us. He really is heartless Lydia held the wine bottle and echoed, "Yeah, that's right. Even if he is traveling around the world, he can at least leave us his contact information so that we know whether he is safe or not!" Malcolm glanced at Jeffrey, who coughed lightly and said, "Actually... I met Mentor when I was on a mission in the Ackleton jungle
"What?" Everyone's eyes fell on Jeffrey.
Jeffrey explained. Tonly told Malcolm about this because Mentor said he didn't want you to know, He just happened to pass by when there was a plague in the indigenous tribe in that area, so he stayed there for a while to treat them and left once the problem was resolved"
Lydia complained unluppily, "What? Why didn't Mentor tell us? He disappeared for so long without saying a word. Did he think we would make trouble for him like we did when we were kids""
taking care of us, so he wants to travel around the world alone and do
Jeffrey patted Lydia's head. "Maybe Mentor has spent a long time of his life takin whatever he likes. We should respect his choice, right, Lydial
Lydia said. "You're right, Jeffrey. As long as I know that Mentor is safe and sound, I will be content.
"Well, since we are so happy to be together, let's not spoil the atmosphere. I have a feeling that Mentor will soon be tired of traveling around the world and come back to reunite with us." Selina raised her glass and spoke. Everyone agreed and clinked their glasses. They enjoyed themselves happily and stopped thinking about things that made them feel bad,
After eating and drinking. Lydia suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly said, "By the way, Selina, on the way here just now, didn't you say that there was a good show for us all What's that?"
Selina crossed her arms around her chest and smiled playfully. "It has something to do with Benjamin's old lover."
"T" Benjamin, who was drinking wine, almost choked when he heard Selina's words. Seeing everyone looking at him with stratig

shrugged. "Selina, don't make groundless statements. What do you mean by my lover? When did I have a lover? Why don't I know?"
Selina answered. "I heard that when Ashley was in the hospital, you went to see her once. Weren't you affectionate and caring toward her? Wasn't she a lover of yours!"
"Oh my. I was wondering who you were talking about. So you meant Ashley. You freaked me out. Only then did Benjamin pat his chest. It turned out to be a joke. He was wondering when he had a lover and why he didn't know about it,
Lysia teased with a wicked smile, "Well, Benjamin, you didn't fall in love with Ashley for real, did you? Your taste is so unique."
Benjamin explained. "Didn't I do it to avenge Selina? It was just an act. My taste can't be that bad, no matter how weird it is. Okay, Selina, stop teasing me. Does the good show you mentioned have something to do with Ashley?"
"Yes, it does. She is the female lead of this show, Selina stopped joking and took out a tablet from her bag.
After Selina clicked several times, a video showing the scene in a restaurant was played. A woman wearing a hat sat there drinking coffee and glanced at her phone from time to time. looking anxious. At eight o'clock in the evening, Ashley finally showed up in disguise and sat down across from the woman
Seeing Ashley, the woman was very excited. "Ashley. She wanted to reach out and touch Ashley,
"Don't touch mel" Ashley subconsciously avoided the woman and looked at her with disgust.
The woman was Ashley's biological mother, Sofa Morgan. Seeing Ashley's expression, Sofia smiled bitterly. "I thought you had forgiven me since you agreed to come to see me. I had no choice but to leave you to Quinton back then. If you had stayed with me, you would have suffered and been accused of being an illegitimate child of an unknown father. You can enjoy endless wealth and glory and become a prominent young lady for real In the Harvey family. With Quinton protecting you your life will be smooth sailing!"
