One of the men thought for a moment and said, "You went overboard with the spending earlier, and the total is now seven hundred thousand, including the money for the B-girls. Severin must have been frightened by that and snuck away because he didn't want to spend so much Money!""Yeah, you went too far, and I don't think Severin is an idiot! I'm not rich, so I'll excuse myself now!" The other man then said."I'm leaving too!"The men were so frightened by everything that they turned around and left."I..." Stanley was red-faced with anger. His two friends used to pat their chests and call each other loyal sworn brothers, yet they left Stanley out in the cold at a time when he needed them most. Stanley then looked at Tina and Buttercup with a helpless expression."Don't look at us, Mister Stanley. You know that we don't have any money. The house we're staying in is a rental too, so you can't expect us to fork out any money," Tina immediately said.Buttercup nodded. "If Doctor Seve
When Stanley saw the approaching men, he was so terrified that beads of cold sweat began to form on his forehead. His initial plan was to show Severin the consequences of offending him by bleeding Severin's wallet dry and blackmailing Severin for a huge sum of money, but Severin seemed to be so impatient to get it on with Coco that he just left with her. The two of them were probably already going at it inside the hotel room!After thinking for a moment, Stanley immediately said, "Hey, hey, take it easy, okay? We can wait! We have another two unopened bottles of wine in there, and I still feel like drinking it!""Y-y-y-yeah! We haven't finished drinking yet, right? There's no rush. We just found out that Doctor Severin left, and we didn't say that we're going to pay the bill right now!" Buttercup immediately echoed.The three of them then put on an act as they returned to the VIP room."Stand guard at the door and make sure they don't escape!" Robert smiled coldly and said to his s
The three of them continued to drink while waiting for Severin to answer either call back or answer Stanley's call.Unfortunately, half an hour had passed, and still, he did not answer Stanley's call. "Why isn't he answering yet?! Something doesn't seem right!" Stanley finally started to panic. The wine bottles were almost empty, but Severin still did not answer the phone. 'Am I really going to have to foot the bill? I don't have that much money!' Though he had planned to let Severin fork out a huge sum for the bill, he did not expect the man to leave without making the payment.By then, he started regretting his decision to rake up such a high bill. 'Would Severin have paid the bill if my orders only came to a little over a hundred and fifty thousand? Did Severin leave because he realized that I was trying to fleece him by ordering all these expensive items?' As all those thoughts began to pop up in his mind, Stanley could not help but slap himself. "Why are you so stupid, Stanley?
"Fifty minutes left!" Robert could not be bothered to say much and merely reminded Stanley after looking at the time.Stanley's lips twitched violently a few times. He knew that the people who owned the bar were powerful enough that the Shanahans could not afford to offend them. There was once a rich young man from a third-tier family who was crippled by a severe beating after offending the owners of that bar.He did not want to end up crippled after getting beat up by those men, and although he felt ashamed, he realized that he had no other choice but to bite the bullet and call his still-sleeping grandmother."Stanley? What's going on? Why are you calling me this late?" Catherine answered the phone and asked Stanley.Stanley was a little tongue-tied, but after considering his lack of alternatives, he cried out, "Grandma! Severin is such a b*stard! He agreed to buy me a drink, but he sneaked off halfway through without paying! Now I can't leave the bar, hic, hic…help me, Grandma!
"Good for you, I guess? Whatever connections that the Shanahans have built with other families are of no concern to us!" Robert said. "But those who want to leave our bar without paying the bill can keep dreaming!"After a while, Catherine arrived along with Stanley's parents—George and Cherise, as well as Diane and her family—comprising of her parents, William and Felicia, as well as her sister, Megan. Naturally, more than a dozen of the Shanahans' bodyguards followed suit too."Mom! Dad! You're finally here! I wasn't allowed to leave before I don't have any money on me to pay the bill!" Stanley immediately put on a pitiful act and cried out to Cherise and George when he saw them coming.Cherise felt incredibly heartbroken to see her son like that, so she immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't be afraid, Stanley. I'm here. We're an upper-class family, and a few bottles of wine won't be a problem for us. What exactly happened though? While we were on the way here, your grandma
Stanley's eyes widened in anger when he heard that. "What do you mean his character is different from mine? What are you trying to imply about my character? He's the one who invited me here today, and there were two other women with me here earlier too. They've already left, but if you don't believe me, I can call them and ask them to come back and testify for me."William could not be bothered to argue with Stanley and decided to save his breath.Finally, Catherine said, "Forget it! Whatever happened doesn't matter anymore. The priority now is to avoid embarrassing yourself. Let's just pay up and leave." She then turned to Robert and asked, "We are a third-tier family after all, so we can still afford to pay the bill. Could you let me know how much is the total?"Robert immediately smiled at her. "Hehe, always the bigger person, ma'am. Our general manager offered a nine-thousand-dollar discount, so the total will now be sixty-six thousand.""Sixty-six thousand?!" Catherine's face
Felicia immediately added, "Yeah! We can't just listen to Stanley's one-sided story. You're his parents, so you of all people should know what kind of person he is. Don't ignore all his wrongdoings just because you want to protect him!""You…" Cherise gritted her teeth angrily and clenched her fists."Enough!" the old lady roared suddenly, sending everyone into silence.A cold expression appeared on her face as she asked Robert, "Could you enlighten us on what really went on?"Stanley folded his hands smugly. Robert and several wait staff saw what happened that night, as did the four B-girls. As long as they were called over to testify, then the answer to all those questions—especially whether Severin was there, whether he mentioned anything about treating them, and whether he had left with another woman—would all come to light!To his surprise, Robert smiled and said, "I'm not too sure, ma'am. One of our wait staff said that Mister Stanley made this order and requested four of ou
"Hall Master Larry! Why are you and Master Blade here?" Catherine knew that the Draco Hall had already taken over the Cedar Gang, and that they had reached a level where they were stronger than first-tier families but just slightly weaker than Brookbourn Mansion. Thus, it was only natural for her to feel a little anxious when she saw Larry and Blade.Larry said with a faint smile, "We have been drinking and chatting with Mister Severin in the next-door bar, and Mister Severin received a call from his wife asking him to come over. We were curious if something had happened at this late hour, so we decided to tag along!"When Stanley heard that, he clenched his fists and said loudly, "That's not possible! Didn't Severin leave here with a woman? He should be in a hotel room with her right now! Why is he drinking with the two of you? Wait! You just bumped into him not too long ago, right? How long have you been drinking?"Larry's expression turned sullen in an instant and he looked at St
