Chapter 65
Charles walked quickly to Phoebe and looked deeply at Phoebe. "Phoebe, it's been a long time. I didn't
expect you to remember me."
Phoebe was a little embarrassed by his stare. Her face reddened slightly. She dodged Charles's gaze
and nodded with a smile.
Tom noticed Phoebe's strange behavior and his thoughts fluctuated. Did Phoebe and this man named
Charles have an unknown past?
To be honest, Tom was a little uncomfortable. No man wanted his wife to have anything to do with other
men.
However, he did not immediately stand up to be jealous and fight for Phoebe's favor. Tonight was
Phoebe's classmates' reunion, so he still had to respect Phoebe.
He observed Charles secretly and was sure that Charles was a successful man with a bit of wealth.
This could be seen from the confidence Charles showed and the awe others had for Charles when he
was surrounded by so many people.
Quentin said, "Charles, you're just in time. You're our class monitor. You can judge the right from
wrong. Phoebe's husband drove blindly and hit my BMW. Is it all his fault?"
Charles was acutely aware of the key words in Quentin's words, and his expression immediately
changed. He said in a daze, "Phoebe, are you married?!"
Phoebe did not answer immediately, but remained silent for a while before saying, "Yes."
Charles's expression changed several times when Phoebe admitted it.
To be honest, he had gone through so much trouble to organize the classmates' reunion this time.
Besides coming back to show off to his former classmates, there was also a big reason for him to do
so. That was he wanted to use this opportunity to take Phoebe down!
A while ago, he saw a recent photo of Phoebe from a female classmate. He was shocked and had this
idea at that time.
But he didn't expect that Phoebe was married. This made him feel bad for a while!
He tried to control his expression so as not to lose his composure. He squeezed out a smile and said,
"Phoebe, are you kidding? You said you would not get married until you were 26 years old. You're only
25 this year. Hehe."
Phoebe sighed and said, "I've been married for four years."
The corner of Charles's mouth twitched violently and he braced himself. "No way? What about your
husband? Why didn't I see him?"
There was already some emotion in his words.
Tom stood up at the right time, reached out to Charles and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Tom.
Phoebe's husband."
All of a sudden, Charles and the others all looked at Tom. When they saw Tom wearing crumpled
clothes and some places of his clothes were obviously dirty which indicated that his clothes were all
cheap, they were stunned.
This man, who looked ordinary and unattractive, would be the husband of Phoebe, the most beautiful Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
girl in the class? No one would doubt if one said that he was a waiter? Why did they all think it was a
joke?
Charles thought the same thing. He stared at Tom and looked up and down. He thought that Tom was
just an ordinary person. Mr. Howard had absolutely no money. How could such a man be worthy of
Phoebe?
Moreover, as an old classmate in the past, he knew it vey well that Phoebe's taste was very high. He
knew very well that the person who could marry Phoebe must be an elite.
Charles didn't shake Tom's hand and ignored him. He smiled at Phoebe and said, "Phoebe, you're
starting to be naughty again. Hehe, you're definitely not married."
Phoebe took Tom's arm and said, "Charles, I'm really married. He's my husband."
Tom's muscles tensed up and he couldn't help but be excited. After being married for so long, Phoebe
took his hand in front of outsiders for the first time! It felt so wonderful!
Charles finally believed it. He took a deep look at Tom and smiled again. Instead of continuing on this
topic, he said to Quentin, "What's going on with you? Did your car get a scratch?"
Quentin immediately said, "That's right. It's all because of Phoebe's husband. His driving skills are so
bad that his car scratched my BMW! And on the other hand, he said that it was my car which bumped
his car? Hmph, I didn't argue with him because Phoebe and me are all old classmates. If it were
someone else, I would have called a dozen people over!"
Phoebe frowned and was about to speak when Charles gave Phoebe a look, indicating that he would
handle it. "We are all old classmates. Don't make the relationship between us so stiff. Forgrt about who
shall take the responsibility. Quentin, it won't cost much to repair your BMW 525 even if you go to the
4s Store. Well, I'll personally subsidize you 5000 dollars. That's all."
Five thousand dollars. A lot of people around them were shocked when they heard it. Charles was so
generous! Besides, it would be only three thousand dollars at most for Jeffery to repair his car, right?
Quentin immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, okay. For Charles's sake, I won't care about this
anymore. Five thousand dollars won't be enough to repair my car."
Charles smiled, opened his bag, and took out a stack of one-hundred dollars. He took out fifty one-
hundred dollars and handed them to Quentin. "You can check whether these are enough?"
Nowadays, most people used cell phones to transfer money, but Charles didn't do that. He still carried
cash with him, especially when he did the large transactions. This made the transactions more
impressing and made him look more rich.
Sure enough, when he took out a thick stack of money from his bag which was actually only thirty or
forty thousand dollars, he recieved a burst of exclamation from around him.
"Haha. Do I need to check? You are the class monitor. I believe in your virtue." Quentin quickly took
Charles's money and smiled so hard that his mouth was crooked. But although he said that, he still
calculated the money carefully three times.
Phoebe said unhappily, "Charles, why did you give him the money? There was an accident. Let's call
the traffic police to deal with it. Just take the insurance procedure."
Charles looked at Phoebe, ignored Tom's existence, and said in a affectionate tone, "Phoebe, we are
good classmates. Are you still treating me like a stranger? If you still be like this, I would be unhappy.
Besides, it's only five thousand dollars. I usually spend more when I am having a meal. It's nothing."
He who had wealth spoke louder than others. Upon hearing this, the expression of many women
around Charles changed.
Phoebe dodged Charles's gaze and blushed.
Next, Charles took out another three thousand dollars and handed it to Phoebe as a subsidy for the car
being scratched. Phoebe, of course, was not willing to take it and hurriedly gave it back.
Charles pretended to be unhappy and said, "Phoebe, I would be angry if you treat me like a stranger
again. I organized the classmates' reunion tonight. I didn't arrange everyone's parking space. It was my
fault and I should be responsible for your loss."
His words made a lot of people feel good, and even Phoebe's impression of him was much better.
However, Phoebe was still unwilling to accept it. At this time, Tom came out. He took the three
thousand dollars in Charles's hand, and said with a smile, "Haha, since the class monitor said so, then
obedience is better than politeness."
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Tom to take Charles's money so brazenly.
They all laughed at him. Phoebe's face suddenly turned a lot gloomier and she glared at Tom fiercely.
Charles looked at Phoebe's little movements. The corners of his mouth rose slightly and a smug smile
appeared. It seemed that Phoebe's husband was just a coward of no use and her husband was no
better than that. In this way, it was easy for him to deal with Mr. Howard.
Although Phoebe was married and she brought her husband here, tonight was the classmates' reunion,
and there were plenty of opportunities to drink. When Phoebe's husband was drunk, Phoebe would still
be his.
