"I see!" Lucy was a little surprised because she did not expect such tricks to exist. From the looks of it, the Stones probably did not have such an easy road toward becoming a third-tier family. Their success likely owed much to tricks like that. As an example, it was Jada who thought of the scheme to deal with Severin.Soon, everything was in place.…After the rich woman left, Severin and his family could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Thus, they went ahead and enjoyed all the food they ordered."May I have the bill please?" Severin waved to the waitress when they were almost done with the meal.At that moment, the waitress smiled, walked over, and handed the bill to Severin. He took one look at it and frowned. "There must have been a mistake in this order."The waitress could only smile. "I'm sorry, sir, but this is the correct total!" Her manager had already instructed her to give them that bill, so she could only do as she was told.Severin smiled in contempt and chuck
"Scammers? How dare you call us scammers just because you can't afford to pay for your meals?" The manager sneered. "It's not a scam when we've displayed the price very clearly in our menu.""Oh, really? Could you bring over the menu that we looked at earlier, then?" Severin asked with a cold smile."Right! That wasn't the price displayed on the menu we looked at earlier!" Judith immediately remarked."Go and get the menu," the manager said to the waiter. "These people just won't accept the truth until they've seen it for themselves!"The waiter brought over the menu in no time, and the prices were different from before! There was almost a tenfold increase in the prices of each dish and drink!"It's not the same menu we were given earlier. This one's brand new. The one we looked at was a little aged!" Diane's expression became uglier as she looked at the menu. It was as clear as day that the menu given to them by the manager had been made in haste.Even so, the manager merely sai
"N-n-no! This wasn't supposed to happen!"The manager wiped off a cold sweat in an instant. Jada had explained that Severin was pretty good at fighting, and if their restaurant's thugs were not up to the task, he could always call One-Eye to help them. After all, One-Eye was the strongest of them all, and their restaurant had always gotten along well with him. His subordinates were all very skilled fighters, and he was able to hold out his own too. In fact, he was so good that he could face several dozen ordinary thugs without ever being at a disadvantage during a battle.Although Jada had given the manager a heads-up on Severin's strength, he did not think that Severin would be able to knock down their thugs and felt that Jada was making a mountain out of a molehill. It was therefore a huge surprise to see that all their thugs had ended up falling to the ground in a heap. They all let out agonized cries and were unable to stand up, which seemed to indicate that they were seriously i
"Sure thing." Upon seeing that Severin was acting so arrogantly in front of him, One-Eye slammed his palm on a nearby table, which shattered right away and was destroyed in one swift move.Judith and Maurice had never seen someone so strong before, and the blood drained from their faces immediately.Diane knew that One-Eye was no ordinary individual, but she was nonetheless taken aback as well. She also knew that the owner of such a restaurant probably did not come from a simple background, so she immediately stepped forward and stopped Severin out of fear that Severin might offend yet another powerful person again."I'll go with you. I'm curious to know who this friend of mine is!" Diane agreed without hesitation.The manager could not be happier to hear that. "Smart choice, Miss Diane. Please come with me!""Honey! No! You can't!" Severin was worried and immediately tried persuading her, "I assure you I can deal with these people!"However, Diane turned around, handed Selene to
The faint fragrance from Diane's body left him a little intoxicated, and once Diane entered, Patrick gently locked the door behind him and said with a smile, "Come and have a seat, Miss Diane. Let's have a drink and a chat. It's that simple!"Diane looked at him and frowned warily as she remarked, "I don't remember having a friend like you."Patrick smiled in response. "Haha, you must've forgotten. I attended Easton's wedding today too, but you came a little too late to see Severin kick me!"Diane's heart skipped a beat when she heard that. 'Is he here to get revenge because Severin kicked him earlier today?'She smiled awkwardly and apologized. "Hehe, sorry about that. He's impulsive, and he has a thing for using physical force to solve problems. I hope you won't take offense!"Patrick went to the table, took his seat on one of the chairs, and patted the chair beside him. "Come here and have a seat. Let's talk about some stuff, shall we? Whatever happened this morning is in the p
Patrick looked at Diane. "All right, all right. I won't pressure you to drink anymore. We'll have that chat once you've finished this glass of wine, and it'll only take a few minutes. You will then be allowed to leave with your husband and daughter!"Diane was under the impression that Patrick was the establishment's owner, since he looked the part due to his fat figure and pot belly. She did not dare to reject his request, so after giving it some more thought, she gritted her teeth and drank her third glass of wine in one gulp. "There. Can we start talking now, Mister Patrick?"Patrick finally said, "Hehe, you do realize that you've eaten close to a hundred and sixty thousand dollars' worth of food, right? That's a lot of money. What I want from you can't be simpler. I'll just come right out with it if you don't mind. Now that you're here, I want you to do you. You can leave once I'm done!"He could not help but ogle Diane's thigh after saying that, and he even hinted as clearly as
Diane felt disturbed by his request, but the thought of Selene and Severin made her feel uneasy too. She bit her lips and said, "Severin promised to come up here if I'm not down in ten minutes. Time's almost up, so it's best if you let me go as soon as possible. If he has to come up here and fetch me, you can bet that he won't let you off that easily!"Patrick cackled as if he had heard a joke. "Haha, do you think he'll even get the chance to come up here? Why would those guys downstairs even allow him to pass? Are you stupid? Well, whatever it is, tonight's the night I'll have a good time with Severin's woman!" he declared, then pounced on her like a wolf."Get off me, you b*stard!" When Diane saw that he was hell-bent on forcing himself on her, her face turned pale with fright and she dashed to the side at once. Unfortunately for her, the copious amounts of wine she drank left her feeling a little dizzy at that moment. Since she was wearing high heels, it was no surprise that she s
"AGHHH!" A blood-curdling scream was heard. Patrick clutched his nether regions and squatted down, nearly fainting from the pain."HRAAH AGHH!" His yells were unending, and he had an excruciatingly painful expression on his face.Diane was still reeling from the immense shock, but that did not stop her from feeling a burst of joy. Patrick was a sleaze and a pervert, and it was her good fortune that Severin showed up in time, or else she would have been forced onto by Patrick."Let's go, Severin!" Diane endured the pain and stepped forward to tug on Severin's arm.Severin smiled faintly, looked at the tightly-shut secret door in the corner, and said, "Show yourselves. Don't hide there like scaredy cats!"The three people who were hiding inside paled in fright. They did not expect that Severin would be so ruthless as to deliver a kick that was strong enough to render Patrick's crotch useless. He was the epitome of fearless, and he began to walk up to the door when no one answered hi
