After hearing that, Lisana felt very surprised. She looked at Alger in shock and even doubted if Alger was joking.

Seeing that Lisana kept staring at him, Alger frowned and said, “What’s wrong?”

Lisana frowned and glanced at Alger, then shook her head and said, “Nothing.”

Then, she left.

What Lisana was thinking in her mind before she left was that the Youssie Corporation would probably go bankrupt if it was handed over to Alger.

Frida’s company was apparently going to close down and could even be said that it basically had no market. Such an investment was like drawing water with a bamboo basket.

What Alger was doing right now was squandering the Youssie Corporation’s money in Lisana’s mind, but this was the company of Alger’s family, so she couldn’t interfere in any way.

So, even if Lisana was discontent in her mind, she didn’t say anything.

Alger had no idea that what he had done would leave such an impression in Lisana’s mind. He was just thinking about the classmate gathering Frida had just mentioned.

It happened that there was someone Alger wanted to meet and this person should also be there at the classmates’ gathering.

On Sunday.

After coming to the place Frida told him about, Alger looked at the receptionist of the hotel and said the number of the room. Then, under the guidance of the staff member, he came here.

As soon as Alger came to the door, he clearly heard what his classmates were laughing at and talking about inside.

Before coming here, Alger knew that the organizer of this gathering was Bart Leslie, who was a rich young master at school back then.

However, Alger didn’t have a close relationship with Bart. Besides, with Alger’s identity and status back then, Bart didn’t even see Alger at all.

If it wasn’t because of the person he wanted to meet, Alger probably wouldn’t have come to the gathering.

Everyone was teasing a man in the room. The man was wearing a suit and leather shoes, looking gentle and elegant, but it wasn’t hard to see that the clothes were a bit white after being washed by water.

“Perchings, did you get fired?”

“If it doesn’t work out, you’ll get a job in the company of Bart’s family?”

“Wouldn’t it be unfair to Perchings? My father’s company probably needs only security guards at the moment.”

“How would it be unfair? Your company is quite famous in Philadelphia. The security officers there should have a pretty good salary. How would Perchings feel unfair?”

Everyone was apparently being sarcastic to Perchings, but even so, there was still an elegant smile on Perchings’ face.

Perchings had a pretty good relationship with Alger back then and could even be considered a straight A student at school. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any family background like Alger.

After Alger came in, everyone all gazed at Alger.

Alger smiled and nodded as he said, “I’m sorry. There was something I needed to deal with, so I came a bit late.”

When Alger went into the room just then, Winnie, who wasn’t far away, looked at Alger’s back in shock and mumbled, “That person just then looks like Alger.”

Since the company’s affairs were handed over to Alger to deal with, Winnie brought people from the company here for a meal this time, and here she saw Alger’s back.

Winnie’s secretary behind her looked at Winnie in confusion and said, “Miss Winnie, what’s wrong?”

“Huh? Nothing. Let’s go in.” Winnie shook her head and said with a smile. She was planning to see if this person was Alger later.

On Alger’s side, everyone in the room was making flattering remarks.

When Tommy, who was next to Bart, saw Alger, his face immediately turned very pale.

Seeing Alger walk in, Perchings also pulled out the chair next to him.

After Alger sat down, he directly looked at Perchings and said, “Perchings, you’re really impressive. You’re already a boss now and are still so low-profile. I should have followed you back then!”

What Alger said instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone looked at Perchings in shock. Some pretty good-looking women also stared at Perchings without blinking.

After all, even though Bart’s family was rich, it was mostly because of his father, so he couldn’t even be considered a boss right now.

On the other hand, Perchings had just graduated not long ago and had directly become a boss. Comparing them like this, who was more superior could be seen immediately.

The person being discussed also looked at Alger dumbfoundedly and said, “Alger, are you kidding me?”

Alger gave Perchings a signal with his eyes and said, “It’s alright. You’re already a boss now. You don’t have to hide like this.”

Perchings looked confused, but when he saw Alger’s eye signal, he understood that Alger was covering for him, so he didn’t say anything else. However, the expression on his face still looked a bit uncomfortable.

Everyone also started discussing.

“I’ve told you that Tommy, this guy, looks down on people. How daring is he to ask Perchings to become a security officer? Perchings is a boss now! Right, Perchings?”

“Right, I knew it. Perchings was very outstanding at school back then. How could he not be able to get a good job after graduating?”

“Perchings is truly impressive. It’s all because of his own abilities!”

All of them were flattering him like this.

After discovering that Perchings was a heavy hitter, they kept fawning on him, as if they weren’t the ones who spoke sarcastically to Perchings just now.

However, this made Perchings even more uncomfortable. After all, he knew his own situation. He wasn’t a boss.

If someone found out he was lying in the future, wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing?

So, Perchings also complained about Alger in his heart.

Seeing that everyone changed from flattering him to flattering Perchings right now, Bart also felt a bit dissatisfied.

So, Bart directly looked at Alger and said, “Alger, I don’t seem to recall inviting you to the gathering this time. Why are you here?”

The atmosphere immediately became slightly embarrassing.

Hearing that, Frida said with a smile, “I ran into Alger when I went to talk about financing with the CEO of Youssie Corporation some time ago and I told Alger about it.”

Frida was very proud when she talked about the Youssie Corporation and she even held her head up high.

Bart snickered and said, “I see. I was thinking, how would I see Alger here suddenly? After all, the price here isn’t low. Alger probably wouldn’t come here for a meal.”

Tommy said sarcastically, “That’s true. The price of this place is very high. Not everyone can come here!”

Alger kicked Tommy out of Bode Real Estate in the past, which brewed resentment in Tommy’s mind, especially after knowing that Alger was still carrying on with his daily routine like before.

Tommy felt that the villa Alger had bought back then was probably for his boss..
