Chapter 46 Meet Up
Kimberly was captivated by the mesmerizing sight in front of her. She turned to Isabelle with a confused look, asking the waiter, “Excuse me, I didn’t quite catch that. She’s your VIP?”
The waiter replied, “Yes,”
Kimberly chuckled, “Come on, sweetie, wake up and smell the coffee. Can she really be your VIP? Are you still dreaming?” She couldn’t resistughing as if she had heard a hrious joke. “Miss Jenkins is definitely a VIP at our hotel, Madam, replied the waiter, shing a smile.
“Could you open the wine, please?” Isabelle requested the waiter.
“Sure thing.” The waiter uncook the wine and poured it into a tall ss for Isabelle.
Bat she stopped him when the waiter was about to pour it into her ss. Instead, she picked up the wine, bypassed Ethan, <b>and </b>ced the almost untouched red wine in front of her father. She <b>said</b>, “You’ve put in a lot of hard work throughout your life. You deserve to drink something good.”
Isabelle abstained from drinking, not because of her respectability, but due to the wine’s poor quality. which she found unptable.
Additionally, she couldn’t bear the smug expressions of her supposed rtives, who deemed themselves. superior and dignified. However, they were nothing more than buffoons.
Suddenly, the waiter addressed Isabelle as Miss Jenkins, which left William stunned.
He looked at the red wine that had been brought to Isabelle and waved his hands in fear, “I don’t drink.” He didn’t dare to touch it.
How much did the waiter say this wine cost?
Twelve thousand?
William was curious to know if the money they were using was the same as his own. He looked at Isabelle cluelessly, but La could sense the question on his <b>mind</b>.
“Hey Ethan, <b>have </b>you and Isabelle caten here before?” La inquired.
Isabelle had brought Ethan to the top–floor private room before, <b>and </b>he couldn’t resist mentioning it. “Yeah, Isabelle brought me here,” he said.
How much money does this wealthy Isabelle have? She has designer clothes, shoes, new phones, andputers. Not to mention the fifteen thousand dors worth of medicine. With all this, she can easily dine in fancy restaurants and buy expensive wine. Even the wealthiest uncle in her family doesn’t spend as extravagantly as she does<b>.</b>
As La thought more about it, she started feeling increasingly uneasy.
“I didn’t know you and Eleanor found the fortune. Howe you didn’t tell us? We’re family, after all,” <b>inquired </b>Kimberly, curious as ever.
“We didn’t have money. We’ve never been here <b>before</b>. It’s the kids who came here and <b>ate</b>, replied William, being honest.

“The kids? Where did they get so much money?” <b>Aunt </b>Kimberly’s eyes narrowed, and she looked at Isabelle. “It’s okay if you’re poor, but don’t resort to illegal activities like stealing and robbery. If people find out, it will ruin our reputation too.”
“It’s funny how when you’re rich, people say you’re doing business, but when we have money, it’s stealing and robbery. So, only you can be wealthy? Should we stay poor for the rest of our lives?” Eleanor never backed down from an argument, and she immediately responded,
Tm sorry. Eleanor, I misspoke earlier. Please don’t take it personally. But let’s say you and William stumbled upon an opportunity to be wealthy. Why didn’t you bring your family along? I believe that if we have money, we should all benefit together. I even lent money to Ethan for their tuition fees. Don’t you think that counts for something?” Kimberly sneered, trying to take advantage of the situation.
William hesitated, unsure of how to respond. “Well, this…” he began.
But before he could finish, Kimberly interrupted him. “You were always the most honest one among us. Why don’t youe clean and tell us you’ve made some money?”
“Yep. William,” the rest of the group echoed.
William shed a helpless smile. I’m afraid that’s not my forte. Isabelle is tech–savvy enough to operate aputer and earn money off it. These things that youngsters do, they fly over my head.”
“Wait, are you saying she made money using aputer?”
Suddenly, Kimberly’s youngest son climbed onto a chair, stood up, and pointed at the pastry before Ethan, saying, “Mom, I want to eat that.”
Kimberly immediately scolded him, asking, “What do you want to eat?”
Upon hearing this, Ethan moved the pastry to the turntable and spun it around to show Kimberly’s son.
The child reached out and took a piece of pastry from the tray. Seeing this, William picked up expensive red wine and offered everyone a drink. “Come on, let’s have a toast,” he said.

But Isabelle interrupted indifferently. “They’re all sessful businessmen. They’ve tasted this wine before. Don’t be so generous. Save it for yourself.”
William felt embarrassed and didn’t know what to do with the wine.
Hearing Isabelle’s words, the others present looked unhappy, especially Kimberly. She saw her youngest son taking another piece of pastry and Eleanor’s smug expression.
Kimberly quickly snatched the pastry from her young son’s hand and scolded him harshly, “Have I ever let you go hungry at home? You should know better!”
The <b>child</b>, who was only four or five years old, burst into tears immediately after being scolded and his food taken away.
Kimberly’s scolding only grew thore intense, causing her to be angrier. She then turned to her eldest brother’s family and warned them, “William, don’t say I didn’t tell you. Making an honest living online is not easy. Be careful not to fall victim to scams. Nowadays, many young girls are resorting to selling naked photos to borrow some morfey. Some wealthy older men take advantage of them. Make sure Isabelle doesn’t get involved in anything like that.”

When hearing this, William immediately worried for Isabelle, as he was concerned that she might fall prey
to online scams,
Meanwhile, La secretly wished Isabelle’s money hade from selling naked photos.
Isabelle responded lightly, “To sell naked photos or have a sugar daddy, you need assets, right? But even if it were free, no one would <b>want </b>it for an old auntie like you with sagging skin and a face full of wrinkles.”
Despite being infuriated by Kimberly’s words, Ethan couldn’t resistughing.
“I can’t believe you just spoke like that,” Kimberly mmed her <b>hand </b>on the table. “You’re actually proud of stripping for money at such a young age? Do you think that brings honour to our family? I’ve wondered why you’ve changed so much since losing weight.”
Kimberly’s loud shouting caught Timothy’s attention as soon as he entered the main <b>entrance</b>.
He stood in the lobby and looked at his troublesome son lingering outside the door with disdain.
As themotion continued, Timothy instinctively saw the uncultured Kimberly.
He was about to look away when he suddenly spotted a familiar face among the crowd at the table.
However, as Kimberly’s scolding became increasingly unbearable, Eleanor couldn’t tolerate it and stood up to argue.
Kimberly’s oldest son stepped up to protect his mother, pointing at Eleanor and warning her fiercely, “If you insult my mother again, there will be trouble.”
The argument soon escted, with Tom siding with his wife and using Isabelle of indecency and. stripping for money.
William, who was usually quiet, couldn’t bear to see <b>his </b>daughter being bullied. Even a cornered rabbit will bite, he thought to himself. In a sudden burst of emotion, he mmed his hand on the table and stood up to confront Tom, saying, “Don’t go too far with your words, Tom!”
However, seeing the situation spiralling out of control, the others intervened.
Despite their efforts to calm the situation, they naturally sided with the Tom family, suppressing the less fortunate William family.
Isabelle sat there quietly, observing the absurd behaviour of the Jenkins family with a nk expression on
her face.
As the argument between Kimberly and Eleanor became increasingly heated and the tension between the Jenkins brothers intensified, Isabelle’s impatience and frustration grew more intense.
Just as all the emotions reached a boiling point, a solid middle–aged male voice suddenly interrupted, “Isn’t this Miss Jenkins?” Timothy, dressed in a sharp suit and leather shoes, with a square face <b>and </b>an authoritative look, slightly overweight, wearing sses, exuded an aura of power that couldn’t be ignored.
Timothy’s presence effortlessly calmed the scene within a few seconds.
The Jenkins family fell silent, and all eyes turned to Timothy, waiting to hear what he had <b>to </b><b>say</b>.
“Mayor Foster, Ethan said. Anxiousness and worry a fight might break out <b>and </b>his family would suffer

Kimberly was stunned. She looked <b>at </b>Ethan, then at Timothy, wondering if she had misheard.
<b>“</b>Mr. Jenkins, it’s been a while since west met.” Timothy said with a smile as he warmly shook hands with Ethan and engaged in small talk.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
He scanned the room, <b>meeting </b>curious eyes<b>, </b>then turned to Isabelle and said, “Miss Jenkins, what a coincidence, you’re also here for dinner? Why are you eating in the lobby? I’ve reserved a private room upstairs.” Timothy warmly invited Isabelle to join him for dinner upstairs.
“Mr. Foster, what are you up to? We’ve been waiting for you toe up,” Deputy Mayor Sanders called out as he brought his son, Mike, to greet him.
Bob quickly brought his daughter Ne down to join them.
