In the afternoon, I was enjoying a relaxing sunbath with my family on the beach in Hawaii when I suddenly received a message from my squad leader Wendy.

"Grace Jones, you must come to this year's class reunion."

"After so many years, my classmates all miss you."

"By the way, Serene is getting married soon."

"She mentioned yesterday that she dreams of you being her bridesmaid."

These few short words made me frown slightly.

Serene, my former desk mate, is also the school belle.

Once when I was living in the school dormitory, she secretly took away my branded bag that I had placed on the bed while I was taking a shower.

I immediately chased her out after I found out, but she turned the tables and accused me of theft. In front of everyone, she took out the invoice that was originally in her bag as "evidence. "

Since she was both the school beauty and a top student, and with that so-called receipt, everyone chose to believe her and mistook me for a thief.

I was so angry that I found the principal and wanted to call the police.

At this time, Serene's mother appeared. She knelt in front of me and begged bitterly, claiming that she was suffering from a terminal illness and had spent all her money on her treatment.

Her daughter has always been filial, and she went astray in order to save her mother.

Asked me to let her daughter go.

I have a kind heart, so I ultimately chose to remain silent, never pursuing the matter any further, and never mentioned it to my family.

After all, that branded bag is just a day's pocket money for me.

But for others, it may mean a life.

Afterwards, Serene did not take the initiative to clarify the facts, so the stigma of "thief" followed me until graduation.

Only the principal knew the truth of the matter, but he never mentioned it to outsiders.

…

I was about to type to reject Wendy's invitation, but my father smiled and said, "Xiao Shu, you have graduated for so many years and you have never attended a class reunion."

"It's your aunt's birthday in a few days, so why don't you come back with us to visit her."

I hesitated for a while and finally agreed.

After carefully selecting several expensive gifts for my aunt, I thought of Serene who was about to get married , so I casually bought a diamond necklace as a gift.

My parents and I flew back to China on a private plane. After getting off the plane, they rushed back to the company for a meeting, while I went directly to the hotel where my classmates were having a reunion.

I haven't been back to China for a few years. My mother was worried that I was not familiar with the road conditions, so she wanted to send her assistant to drive me.

I smiled and declined her kindness. After all, I grew up in Haicheng.

My mother didn't insist, but just reminded me to be careful and remember to meet up at my aunt's house after the party.

After I put all the gifts in the suitcase, I went to the hotel. When I entered the private room, I saw that it was already full of old classmates.

After seeing me, the originally lively atmosphere suddenly became much quieter.

Except for class leader Wendy , everyone else looked at me with strange eyes.

There were whispers around.

"Strange, why is Grace Jones here?"

"She still has the nerve to come here? Has she forgotten the ugly things she did back then?"

"How could she forget? She stole Serene's designer bag, which was worth hundreds of thousands. All the classmates knew about it."

"Serene is also good-tempered. She actually let her go at that time. If it were me, I would have called the police to arrest her."

"I heard that Grace Jones' parents found Serene and knelt on the ground begging her for help. Serene had no choice but to give up the matter."

"Yes, I heard about it too. A limited edition Hermès bag worth hundreds of thousands! If you had called the police, Grace Jones would probably still be in jail now."

"It's disgusting to be classmates with such people."
