Chapter 59


    The security guard rushed over with arge umbre to protect the two from the scorching sun.


    However, the temperature under the umbre suddenly rose, and the air became hot and humid.


    “How about this,” Abel proposed, “I will cover the living expenses in the future. I can’t possibly eat at


    your ce for free.”


    Emmeline shook her head and said, “Don’t worry about it. It’s not much money anyway.”


    Abel remarked, “Your skills are better than the Ryker family’s chef, who makes sixteen thousand dors


    a month. I’m lucky to have found such a good cook, so I’ll pay you twenty thousand dors.”


    Huh?


    Emmeline was a little taken aback.


    Is Abel for real?


    Did he really believe she was that poor?


    “I’ll send you this month’s money first. It is yours to spend.” Abel said this while pulling out his phone


    and transferring twenty thousand dors to Emmeline.


    He put the phone in his trouser pocket and said to Emmeline, “This way, I won’t lose my self-esteem


    when I go back to eat.”


    “All right then,” Emmeline said as she smiled and pressed the ept button.


    “In addition, I will encourage my employees to patronize your café, as your café provides excellent


    service.”


    Ah!


    Emmeline’s eyes widened at that.


    Mr. Ryker, this is entirely unnecessary! Mr. Ryker! If business is good, I’ll be too busy to do anything


    else!


    I still have to do medical research and return to Adelmar on asion. The café’s business cannot be


    too sessful!


    “You go back first,” Abel said, seeing Emmeline in a daze, “I’ll go over and eatter this evening. I’d


    make sure to return and eat since I’ve already paid for the meals”.


    Emmeline remained in a daze. Abel continued, “The meal does not have to beplicated. Four


    dishes and one soup will suffice.”


    “Oh!” Emmeline finally returned to reality, nodded, and repeated, “Four dishes and one soup.”


    “Yes.” Abel smiled and turned to leave.


    “Mr. Abel,” called a woman’s voice from behind.


    Everyone turned to face the source of the voice, which turned out to be na.


    When na saw Emmeline, her face turned cold, and she asked, “Why are you here?”


    “I’m here to give Mr. Ryker something.” Emmeline indicated the package that Abel was holding.


    “A suit?” na eximed, surprised. “Do you already know about the banquet, Mr. Abel?”


    “A banquet?” Abel furrowed his brow. “What banquet?”


    “Auntie Julianna is holding a big banquet to celebrate the return of her three grandchildren, and I’m


    here to give you your outfit,” na exined. “Try it out to see if it fits.”


    Everyone’s attention was drawn to the gift box na was holding.


    “It’s Beltramian haute couture. It’s the newest fashion style this year and costs more than two hundred


    thousand dors!”


    “But I already have it,” Abel pointed out, shing the package in his hand. “This suit is quite nice.”


    “This…” na regarded the garishly wrapped package with a sneer. “Doesn’t this look cheap? Mr.


    Abel, are you capable of donning such attire?”


    “Howe I can’t wear it?” Abel stated, “The Ryker family’s forefathers were wharfborers who


    carried sacks. We aren’t special in any way.”


    “But…” na’s face turned pale. Did Abel just turn down the haute couture suit she was holding?


    “Please return the suit. Two hundred thousand dors is excessive. It’s only a suit.” Abel turned and


    walked toward the building after he finished speaking.


    “Mr. Abel.” na wanted to follow him, but she was stopped by a security guard holding arge


    umbre.


    “Two thousand dors for a suit. It’s really quite a waste of money,” Emmeline said, clicking her tongue.


    “What do you know!” na muttered angrily, “Is it possible for the banquet at Meriwether Mansion to


    fall short of the one at Levan Mansion? Julianna also wants to brag about the three grandchildren you


    gave her. Rosaline, of course, refuses to fall behind!”


    “So I’m the cause of all this fuss?” Emmeline murmured to herself. She would have stopped the triplets

    from investigating if she had known.


    “You just wait,” na said to Emmeline, ncing at her shabby appearance. You will undoubtedly


    disgrace the entire family at the banquet!”


    She hummed arrogantly and sashayed toward her sports car.


    Emmeline donned her helmet and rode away from the sports car on her electric bicycle.


    na was filled with resentment and hatred after witnessing the woman’s carefree demeanor as she


    rode away on her electric bicycle.


    Adrien arrived at the café not long after Emmeline did.
