Chapter 648


    Sure enough, just as Emmanuel picked up his cutlery and grabbed some


    food, Richie immediately sneered. “My, my, don’t you know how to pick! That


    abalone’s a delicacy! I bet one of them is worth just as much as your


    previous monthly sry!”


    It was tant contempt.


    -Tia didn’t think Richie was impressive; instead, she found him repulsive. She


    knew very well that Richie was trying to strike a heavy blow at Emmanuel

    during the meal, making him give up.


    However, Emmanuel turned a deaf ear and focused on eating the abalone.


    After taking a bite of it, he wanted to take a sip of red wine. However, as soon


    as he picked up the wine ss, Richie sneered again. “That’s a 1982 Lafite. A


    ss of it is more expensive than your own blood.”


    Still, Emmanuel downed the entire wine in one sip, put down the ss, and


    smiled. “Why are you being so calctive? We aren’t going Dutch, are we?


    Don’t tell me your family can’t even afford to treat everyone here to a meal.”


    Richie was instantly stupene


    slightly ished.


    “Huh, we can afford a blind date meal no matter how expensive it is!” Gillian


    quickly took over the conversation, sounding loftier than her son. “Too bad Tia


    already has a boyfriend, and we’re all just casually having a meal right now.


    Can’t you, as her boyfriend, even pay the bill for your girlfriend?”


    s, the tables had turned.


    Emmanuel couldn’t help shaking his head. Indeed, those who were


    pretentious were often stingy.


    However, Richie misinterpreted it and thought Emmanuel was scared. As


    such, he behaved even more arrogantly. “Don’t eat if you can’t afford to pay!


    Honestly, where did you get your courage to impersonate Tia’s boyfriend and


    ruin our blind date?! You can’t even feed yourself when you’re jobless now!


    Can you still afford a car or a house? What can you offer Tia for happiness? A


    penniless loser like you should stay single forever and not ruin women!”


    The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and spit even flew out


    from his mouth toward the end.


    Tia, on the other hand, trembled all over, never expecting that using


    Emmanuel as a scapegoat would lead to such humiliation for him. She felt


    deeply guilty. On the other hand, Emmanuel simply smiled and couldn’t be


    bothered to respond.


    Unexpectedly, Cain butted in and boasted, saying, “We own a family


    business, and we’re also partners of Terence Group. My son graduated with a


    degree abroad, and his cousin is a high–ranking executive at Longine Bank.


    What qualifications do you have topare with my son?”


    Pfft! Emmanuel nearly spat out the soda in his mouth. Whoa, what a


    coincidence! Are they actually partners with Mackenzie’spany? Also, is


    Richie the bank manager’s cousin?!


    Meanwhile, Richie assumed Emmanuel was so ashamed that he couldn’t lift


    his head. With that, he prepared to deliver the final blow, wanting to make


    Emmanuel run out bawling.


    “Well? Have you realized how pathetic you are? Leave if you have any


    self–respect! Do you think you deserve a girlfriend when you have no money


    or power?! You’re only worthy of spending your life with your right hand!”


    “You’ve crossed the line!” Tia finally couldn’t take it anymore and rebuked


    coldly, “All you people talk about is money! Where are your manners?! Have


    you no basic respect?! It’s you who should be embarrassed!”


    Emmanuel once again looked at Tia with higher regard. It seems like she’s


    “You… How dare you?!” Gillian was beside herself with fury. She couldn’t


    believe the young woman would go as far as to defend the poor loser and


    reproach her family, even when Tia knew just how capable her family was.


    Marianne was stunned as well. She couldn’t believe her obedient daughter


    would flip out on the Unger family for her so–called boyfriend.
