In the underground trading market, he also helped the other party choose amulets!

Elizabeth first greeted Melissa, then looked at Benson and Klein.

She froze there, frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

Soon, Elizabeth smiled and greeted politely as if nothing had happened.

Klein also pretended not to recognize the other party. Guided by Old Wood, he came to the sofa area of ??the living room and was introduced to Selena's brother Chris and other guests.

Seeing Benson talk happily with Chris and other solicitors using Mr. Shaw next door as the topic, Klein couldn't help being a little envious.

I don't have such communication skills... He picked up a glass of pre-dinner wine from the corner table, listened quietly, nodded from time to time, and laughed in agreement.

Not long after, all the guests arrived and the dinner officially began.

Because too many guests were invited, the dining table in the Wood family could not afford it, so the dinner was held in the form of a buffet. The maids served steaks, grilled chicken, fried fish, mashed potatoes and other foods in plates and placed them on different tables. The valet is responsible for cutting and making the portion suitable for serving.

When Klein saw those elegant enamel dinner plates and silver knives and forks, he couldn't help but be stunned. He felt that the Wood family, which was only a middle-class family, was too extravagant.

"Since he is so rich, why does Chris have to prepare for the wedding for a few more years?" He wondered what his sister had said, "Well, maybe it is just to accumulate such tableware that he has to prepare for a few more years. For a family like this, decency is important!"

Amidst his thoughts, Klein picked up a porcelain plate, went to the dining table, and forked a piece of roast meat coated with honey.

At this moment, Elizabeth with cute baby fat on her face came closer, looked at the food, and said in a low voice: "So you are Melissa's brother... Thank you, Selena likes the amulet I gave you very much, and said Wearing it makes me feel healthy."

Selena... the amulet... Klein suddenly remembered the reason why the girl next to him chose the amulet:

Make a birthday present for a friend who loves the occult!

That friend is Selena? Selena likes things in the mysterious field? Klein frowned slightly, and said with a polite smile: "It might just have the effect of a placebo."

After saying this, he began to wait for the other party to praise Emperor Roselle.

But Elizabeth's reaction was ignorant: "What is a placebo?"

"It's a purely psychological effect. Sometimes, we firmly believe that we will get better, and we will really get better." Klein roughly explained.

"No, she said that it is different from the amulets she bought in the past, and it feels different." Elizabeth emphasized.

She glanced sideways at Klein and said curiously, "I didn't expect Melissa's brother to be an expert in mysticism."

"You know, I'm a history major, and I'm always exposed to similar things." Klein brushed off the subject without a trace, and asked, "Are you also at Tingen City Technical School?"

"No, I used to be classmates with Selena and Melissa, and then they went to a technical school, and I was in the nearby Ivos Public School." Elizabeth explained seriously.

Public school is not a public school, but a school for public enrollment. It evolved from a good grammar school and aims to train graduates who can be admitted to universities. The tuition is quite expensive, and the family background of the students will be checked. The middle class can't afford it either.

She didn't talk much, she chose the food and returned to Selina.

Congratulations on the happy birthday of today's protagonist, the dinner is gradually coming to an end, Klein and Benson are invited to join the ranks of Texas Hold'em, the small blind is half a penny, the big blind is one penny, and Melissa and Elizabeth, Selina When my friends went to the second floor, I didn't know whether to chat or play other games.

Klein was unlucky today. He played twenty or so hands, but he never got a good hand. He could only keep looking at the cards and discarding them, acting as a spectator.

He turned up the corner of the card again and found it was the 2 of hearts and the 5 of spades.

"Should I bluff?" Klein considered for a moment, but still couldn't muster up the courage, and restrained the urge to cheat with divination.

He folded his cards, knocked on the table, signaled not to call, then got up and left the long table and went to the bathroom. JrNovels.com
