Edric Reat walked leisurely to that seat, and as he passed some old classmates, he was able to call out their names, shake hands or give a hug to greet them.
When Edric Reat arrived in front of Madeleine, she was holding a glass of alcohol, staring fixedly at Howard Coleman and the woman beside him. Facing Edric's greeting, she seemed somewhat absent-minded, not even waiting for Edric to finish speaking before drinking the alcohol in her glass.
Edric Reat could only swallow back the words he was about to say, force a smile, and drink his alcohol. He then looked at Ruby Gregory sitting next to Madeleine.
Ruby's expression was very calm, and when Edric looked at her, she lowered her eyelids in a polite manner and stood up.
Edric Reat held the glass in his palm, stared at Ruby for about three seconds, and then said with the same unchanging smile, "Ruby Gregory, long time no see."
