Chapter 798


    Good Lord, the cost of wine alone might already amount to over 400,000!


    Ryder’s face turned pale, and his teeth were grinding. Does Chloe Sheppard


    think she could drink Lafite like beer?


    Fortunately, he received a reply from Emmanuel right then.


    ‘Rx, Ryder. Just perform well in front of Tia and not worry about the money.


    If you encounter any issues, just give me a call.


    Even if Mackenzie’s ck Card failed, as long as Ryder called him, Emmanuel


    could transfer money over immediately.


    It would be absolutely foolproof!


    Seeing this message, Ryder felt a little relieved. Following Emmanuel’s


    instructions, he said to Tia and her mother, “Tia, Ms. Marianne, feel free to


    order whatever you want. Don’t hold back!”


    Marianne nodded and smiled, which made her seem somewhat satisfied


    with the old man. Despite his unattractive appearance, he seemed more


    reliable than men like longthan


    Abellyn, witnessing this, clenched her teeth in frustration. She had nned to


    unt her newly acquired one million in front of Ryder, but unexpectedly,


    before she even had the chance, he had turned the tables and showed off to


    her instead.


    This is outrageous! You can keep pretending! I’ll see how you end upter!


    Abellyn gritted her teeth and muttered to herself.


    As expected of a top-notch restaurant, the speed of serving the dishes was


    first-rate. The moment the seven individualsid their eyes on the table filled


    with exquisite delicacies, their eyes lit up, and saliva practically dripped.


    Especially Abellyn. She attacked the food and drinks as though she had been


    starved for years,pletely disregarding her image.


    Even Robby showed no manners, eating messily just like her.


    Ryder’s mood was greatly affected by this, but fortunately, there was an


    ample amount of food and a spacious table. Marianne and Tia weren’t too


    bothered.


    All seven indulged themselves to the fullest!


    After a full two hours, Abellyn and Chloe were half-sprawled in their chairs,


    patting their slightly bulging bellies, burping like crazy.


    Seeing the sisters spread their legs, uncaring of decency and losing all


    semnce of dignity, Ryder looked disgusted.


    Tia also couldn’t eat peacefully, constantly worried about what would


    happen if Ryder couldn’t afford the bill.


    The server promptly brought the bill, smiling as she approached, “Madam,


    your total consumption is 1.08 million. Would you like to pay by card or scan


    the code?”


    This server wasn’t the same one who had worn the uniform earlier, so she


    was unaware of the ck Card’s existence.


    Hearing her mention a bill of 1.08 million, everyone in the room was shocked!


    Ryder and Tia were almost scared out of their wits.


    They had never spent as much on food in their entire lives, even if they had


    added up all their previous meals.


    Abellyn chuckled and pointed at Ryder. “You’re mistaken. He’s treating us


    today.”


    The beautiful server was also taken aback, let alone the fury building up


    inside Ryder right now.


    Throughout the evening, he had been acting ording to Abellyn’s whims,


    and now he was the one left with the bill. He felt like aplete sucker!


    Sigh, he was just in foolish!


    Being an honest person, Ryder could only grit his teeth and swallow the


    bitterness. After all, he had agreed to treat them. As they said, one had to see


    it through, even if it hurt!


    He took the bill and realized that the alcohol alone ounted for almost half


    of the total, and two bottles of Lafite were still corked, with their seals


    unbroken!

    “Um, can those two bottles of wine be returned?”


    “Certainly, sir. Returning those two bottles of wine will reduce the bill by


    200,000!”


    The next second, the Sheppard sisters immediately stood up and opened the


    two bottles of wine with a loud pop.

    The entire room fell silent.


    Ryder, who was already furious, turned beyond grim in an instant.


    What the f*ck?! How can there be such shameless women in this world?!


    Instead of being afraid of Ryder’s grim expression, the Sheppard sisters


    taunted triumphantly, “Ryder, didn’t we agree that you would treat us


    tonight? What’s this? You’ve only changed your mind after we’ve eaten?


    You’re not a man at all!”


    Huff… huff… huff… Ryder’s breathing became increasingly rapid, and his chest


    was about to burst.


    After a while, he mmed the table and exploded in anger. “Abellyn


    Sheppard! Since you and your sister have decided to act shamelessly


    tonight, I’m not going to carry your weight anymore! This dinner’s going


    Dutch. I’ll only pay for four people. As for what you’ve eaten, settle the bill


    yourselves!”


    He had had enough! This honest man had had enough!


    Tia also looked at Ryder. While his current demeanor was somewhat


    intimidating, she believed what he did was right.


    If he continued to put up with his ex-wife’s behavior, she would think he was


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    weak or that he was still in love with that woman.
