"You're really something, Colin!" Matt exclaimed, impressed by what had just happened.
Meanwhile, David put his glass down and heaved a long breath that reeked of alcohol. Jacob shook hishead at him before saying, "If you don't feel like drinking, just stop."
Harry shot a glance at Matt and said softly, "That guy kept making him drink as soon as he arrived."
However, Jacob looked at him through the side of his eyes and remarked, "Who was the one whocame out of the room with a glass of beer in his hands?"
"I was just curious to see if David really is going to the washroom or not."
"Don't worry about it. I'll be fine after taking a break." David waved at them. Looking at Jacob's grayhair, his smile slightly vanished. "You must have had a hard time out there. But I'm just glad to see youback. If you need any help, just ask away. Even though my capabilities are limited, I still have somestrength to help you out.
Harry also nodded. His gaze lingered at Jacob's plain clothes for a moment before saying, "David'sright. I've also earned some money from the business. If you need any financial support, I could stillhelp with tens of thousands. Alas, I don't have anything more than that!"
Jacob nodded slowly as he looked back at the both of them. Even though he did not require theirassistance, their offer warmed his heart up.
Just as they were engrossed in the conversation, Matt walked over again with a flushed face from allthe beer he had been drinking. "Here's another toast for you, Jacob!"
A mixture of alcohol and bad breath slipped from his mouth. Upon experiencing that, a cold lookappeared on Jacob's face.
"What? Are you looking down on me?" Matt glared at him through the corner of his eyes. "I'll be prettyimpressed with you if you look down on me!" His body swayed as he deliberately said loudly in asarcastic tone, "After all, I can't help but to be impressed at how you dare to stab the son of theMondez family!"
Colin berated in a low voice, "You're drunk, Matt!"
"Haha! Colin, I'm not drunk!" As the atmosphere froze, he waved his hands. "Back then, this guy justleft us, leaving us in trouble! We were interrogated regularly!"
"Is it true?" Jacob asked David sharply. After a moment of hesitation, the latter slowly nodded.
His eyes slowly narrowed coldly. When Jerry was looking through past documents, it was not recordedanywhere that his university classmates were being implicated.
Perhaps the officials thought that it was not needed to write it down, but Jacob still felt guilty when heknew about this. After all, he was the one who brought trouble upon his classmates, who he had beenspending most of his time with.
"It's just a few rounds of questioning. Matt is exaggerating." David waved airily.
Harry wanted to say something, but he was reluctant to do so.
It was true that the rest of them were only being asked a few questions, but as Jacob's closest friend,David was followed as soon as he went out of campus even after half a year since that incidenthappened.
"If they didn't interrogate us so many times and affected my mood, I might have passed my exams!"one of the women said resentfully.
Seeing that the reunion party was slowly morphing into a blaming party, Colin quickly rose with a glassof beer in his hands. "Guys, let bygones be bygones. We should focus on the future instead. Here'sanother toast!"
Under his lead, everyone stood up and raised their beverages. Looking forward to the future, theygulped everything down.
"Come over here and sit down!" After putting down his glass, Colin glared at Matt in annoyance.
Meanwhile, one of the women left the table and walked to Jacob. "It's been a while, friend, but you looklike you've been through a lot. Here's one for you!"
He looked at the woman with full make up on her face before standing up and accepting her toast.
