Chapter 168


    Wace''s words made it clear that the owner of City Square was not Chuck Cannon, but Harold


    Wendel.


    The rtives at the table were all talking about it, and they looked down on Chuck even more now.


    Manny Liu and her two best friends were stunned. Wasn’t Chuck the owner of the za?


    This should not be possible, but Wace''s words couldn''t be wrong. What was going on?


    "Your news seemed to be out-of-date. Chuck has already taken over City Square." Zelda was angry.


    The previous owner of the za had told her about this. She didn''t believe it at first, but now she


    did.


    "Is that so?"


    Wace Hanne smiled and said, "Although City Square is not big, thend is still very expensive.


    Getting it under your possession is impossible without paying at least six hundred to seven hundred


    million dors!"


    "Six hundred to seven hundred million? So expensive!"

    "Then it couldn''t possibly be him. He doesn''t look like he has that much money."


    "s, his showboating has now reached its limits. What is the point of lying anymore?"


    Several rtives sighed in a sarcastic tone. Thest sentence especially made Manny feel even


    more embarrassed. Just what was going on?


    Didn''t City Square belong to Chuck?


    Her two best friends were even more surprised. "No way, there has to be some misunderstanding


    here!"


    "I think so too. Chuck should be the owner of the za. Otherwise, how would he have settled the


    issue with the broken vasest time?"


    It was only when the two best friends started talking that Manny felt a little better. There had to be a


    misunderstanding.


    They looked at Chuck.


    "Zelda, do you care to exin? City Square isn''t somece that could be easily bought over by just


    anyone. Six to seven hundred million is not a small sum, and I feel maybe Chuck had a little too


    much to drink and identally said the wrong name. Could you perhaps help him to recall the


    name?" Wace smiled deeper, his tone full of sarcasm.


    Zelda was furious. He was implying that Chuck was drunk and that led to him showboating!


    "What are you talking about? City Square belongs to him!" Zelda Maine said seriously.


    The corners of Wace''s mouth curled up, and there was a hint of disdain.


    "Zelda, stop it." A rtive shook his head.


    "We all know your boyfriend’s true self now. There''s really no point in continuing to lie. As your


    uncle, I have to advise you youngins that it would be better to stay humble and not spew out such


    bullsh*t. People like him are not worthmitting your future to. Think about it!"


    "Yeah, if it weren''t for Wace’s connections, we might have been fooled by him. How could he be


    so arrogant in front of us? Seeing him like this, I have a pretty good idea of how he normally acts


    like. I don''t even want to sit on the same table with him now."


    All the rtives were disappointed. Zelda herself felt wronged. Why did they not believe her? Chuck


    was indeed the owner of the za.


    "Zelda, how about I introduce you to someone else? Split up with him now, he simply isn''t worth


    your time. Being a liar, I can assure you that he will continue to lie to you in the future and you will


    never really be happy," another rtive said.


    "Auntie." Zelda''s eyes were red with anger.


    She turned to look at her mother, and the disappointment on Manny''s face was evident.


    Chuck didn''t say a single word during this entire ordeal, and this made her upset.


    Even her two best friends were now suspicious of what was going on.


    Zelda''s heart was aching, but she felt especially sorry for Chuck. He must be feeling really wronged!


    Zelda stood up and bit her lips, unwilling to let her aggrieved tears flow out. "Let''s go, Chuck."


    "Let him go by himself, Zelda. We''re all family. It''s all right!"


    "Yeah, let him go. He''s nothing but a liar. We''d better not let him stay here."


    Some of her rtives said.


    Chuck looked up and saw Zelda''s grievance. He wanted tofort her so badly. Looking at this


    person who had helped him so much, just what was she to him?


    Chuck himself didn''t even know. He wanted tofort her when he saw that she was about to cry.


    Maybe this is the feeling of a little brother wanting tofort his older sister!


    "It''s fine. We haven''t finished eating yet!" Chuck said. He took her hand and let her sit down.


    Zelda''s tears came out, mainly because she felt sorry for Chuck. He should be having a good meal,


    but instead, he was caught in this situation because of her.


    Zelda made up her mind at this moment. If there were anything that Chuck requested or wanted


    from her, she would agree to him! Anything!


    "Are you that shameless to continue sitting here?" Wace''s smile disappeared. Liars did not


    deserve his smile.


    "I haven''t finished my meal yet. I''m hungry, and I wish to add something else to the table." Chuck


    said, took out his mobile phone and made a phone call. "Betty, I''m eating at the Opulence Retreat


    now. I want to try the dishes you mentioned yesterday. Can I? ... Sure, you can change that dish.


    There are fifteen people here in total. Well, I''ll be waiting for you."


    The call ended.


    Chuck put away his phone.


    The rtives at the table frowned. Add more food? Did he just call to order takeout? This was the


    Opulence Retreat, a luxurious holiday resort. Takeouts were not allowed!


    Still full of nonsense!


    "Wait a minute. I added a dish and it will be served in twenty minutes," Chuck said.


    "Okay," Zelda bit her lip and nodded.


    "Auntie, please wait for a moment. This dish is very good!" Chuck said to Manny and her two


    friends.


    The three of them sighed and nodded.


    "Add more food? Don''t be so troublesome. I''ll treat you to whatever you want to eat. But you''ll have


    to eat at the other table," Wace said.


    "Well, I don''t think you''d be able to order the dish that I would be adding to the table," Chuck said.


    "I can''t order it? Are you kidding me? What kind of food is there that you can''t order in this


    restaurant? Tell me!" Wace sneered.


    There were so many kinds of food in the country, and what kind of food could he not afford with all


    the money he had?


    "Forget it, isn''t it a waste of money to treat him to dinner?" Rainie Lowe pulled her boyfriend away.


    She understood what type of person Zelda’s boyfriend was. He was useless, but he still loved


    showing off. He named a za that he supposedly owned, but in truth it belonged to someone else.


    And now he was talking about adding another dish to the table? How disgusting, how could she eat


    on the same table with someone like him?


    "Just think of it as you are feeding the dogs!" Wace sneered, "Tell me, what kind of dish did you


    add? Is it some seafood tter or roastedmb?"


    "I ordered the olive Wagyu beef just now, but..." Chuck said.


    "What? Olive Wagyu beef?" Wace asked in disdain. He knew what it was. It was really expensive


    at around ten thousand dors per kilogram. Plus not anyone could buy it. Did he just say that he


    had just ordered this dish?


    "This kid is spouting nonsense again!"


    "Yeah, I''ve heard of olive Wagyu beef, but I''ve never had the chance to eat it. I heard that it costs


    about twenty or thirty thousand dors for less than a kilogram of it. We have so many people here,


    it would cost a bomb if he got everyone a piece of it."


    "s, Zelda, how did you find such a boyfriend who bullshi*ts so well?"


    Those rtives felt disgusted. If he really did add a dish to the table, then why did he have to say


    that it was olive Wagyu beef? If he wanted to lie, he should have at least made it more believable!


    Manny and the other two were surprised. How could Zelda, a person who worked at a restaurant,


    not know about the olive Wagyu beef? How did Chuck get his hands on it?


    "How did you order it?" Wace asked. He could get it, but it will take at least two hours for it to


    reach here. Not to mention an even longer time to prepare it.


    "A phone call," Chuck said.


    "Haha! Are you joking? Fine, let''s say you manage to get it. It will take hours for it to reach here. Do


    you expect us to wait for such a long time?" Wace said disdainfully.


    "It wille within twenty minutes," Chuck said.


    "Bullsh*t!"


    A rtive scolded, "This whole area belongs to the Opulence Retreat. It is also in the mountainous


    area. Even if you drive, it would take around thirty minutes to reach here. And now you''re saying it


    will reach in twenty minutes?"


    Chuck nced at him and said, "It''s pretty simple. Cars aren''t the only mode of transportation."


    "It''s not, but are you referring to a bicycle? An electric bike?" Waceughed.


    Manny''s face turned red and she was embarrassed. She sighed. How did the gathering turn out like


    this?


    s!


    "No." Chuck shook his head.


    "No? Then tell me, what other transportation do you have?" Waceughed mockingly and


    disdainfully. But at this moment, there was a sudden roar from the distant sky. It sounded like the


    continuous rumble of thunder closing in on them.


    The rtives at the table and the other people eating nearby were stunned, and they


    subconsciously looked out.


    "Look! What''s that?"


    Someone pointed at the sky as a ck dot approached them.
