    Chapter 42 She Was Unable to Pay for the Takeaway, That Was a Great Mortification to Her


    The music stopped, and those girls around felt something was wrong.


    Vi was worried about being embarrassed, so she hurried to Adeline''s side, and said in a low


    voice, "Adeline, pay the money."


    Adeline didn''t say anything and looked at her indifferently.


    Vi was nervous and she continued, "Adeline, please pay the money quickly. Don''t embarrass me,


    please!"


    Adeline smiled lightly. She walked slowly to the sofa, sat down, and said, "Whoever ordered the


    takeaway will have to pay."


    At the same time, Vi''s friends looked at her mother and her with distaste, "It''s only ten thousand


    dors takeaway, and you can''t afford it? You can''t even pay for this, and you say you are a rich


    girl?"


    Vi''s face was full of embarrassment, and she stared at Adeline.


    The chef''s helper nced at Adeline. Then, she looked at Edith and repeated the unit''s number,


    "May I ask who is the owner of this house?"


    Adeline sat on the sofa with a calm posture. She wasn''t in a hurry to answer. There was always a


    faint smile on her face.


    Vi stared anxiously at Edith, beckoning her to pay the money.


    She would be done if they didn''t pay the money and Adeline admitted that she was the owner of the


    house.


    How could she still be proud in front of her friends in the future?


    Edith''s expression froze and she walked up to the helper in the back kitchen awkwardly. She took


    out her bank card and said, "Here you go."


    The chef''s helper took out the POS machine and scanned it.


    After two beeps, the helper frowned slightly.


    "I''m sorry, madam. The bnce is insufficient. Please change to another payment method."


    As soon as he finished speaking, those girls around started to whisper.


    Vi was even more anxious by then. She walked over and med, "Mom, why is the bnce


    insufficient?"


    As she spoke, she opened Edith''s mobile banking software to check the bnce, and it showed that


    there were only five thousand dors."


    "Oh, Mom, do you forget that you just use your bank card to buy a bag worth more than 40


    thousand dors yesterday? No wonder there is no money in it. Use your credit card instead."


    "I'' m sorry, but our restaurant doesn''t ept credit cards." The helper politely reminded.


    At the same time, a friend of hers burst outughing.


    "La Prime is the most famous restaurant in Prodiff for sashimi. Their specialty is that all sashimi


    ingredients are selected from the top and freshest seafood, and the best parts are selected for


    cooking, while the rest will be thrown away. So, the price is rtively high."


    "Another feature of this restaurant is that it doesn''t ept credit cards or pay afterward. Because


    the service fees of credit card merchants are too high. Vi, all the socialites, anddies in these


    circles know about it. How could you and your mother do not know about it?"


    Vi''s expression became extremely awkward, and she tried to force a smile, "Oh, I have been to


    too many restaurants and I can''t tell which is the one."


    Vi poked Edith with her elbow, and said in a low voice, "Hurry up, pay the money."


    Edith nced at her Apple Pay, and there wasn''t enough money as well.


    She had to pinch and scrape from everywhere. She asked the chef''s helper to scan her WhatsApp


    for five thousand dors and then scanned her Apple Pay for two thousand dors.


    She couldn''t pay the rest no matter how hard she tried. There was a great mortification to her.


    "Madam, there is still a shortfall of three thousand dors." The helper in the back kitchen reminded


    her.


    Edith had no choice but to look at Adeline, and said in a bad tone, "Hey you, pay the money


    quickly!"


    "Why?" Adeline looked at her with a smile.


    "Why? You are the owner of the house! Food is delivered to you, and if you don''t pay, who will?"


    Edith was so anxious that she started talking nonsense.


    As soon as Edith finished speaking, Vi red at her angrily.


    At the same time, one of Vi''s friends got the goods and asked teasingly.


    "Ah? Vi, didn''t you say that this is your house? Why did your sister be the owner of the


    house? I even tell my other friends proudly that my friend owns a house and ask them to pay a visit


    whenever they want!"


    "Sure. Pleasee whenever you want!" Vi was very concerned about her reputation. She


    couldn''t bear to be humiliated. She said, "My sister''s house is my house too. You also know that


    when my parents die, even my sister''s part in the family will be mine too. My family has always been


    like this."


    Edith felt a little difort when she heard the words "My parents were dead".


    Adeline''s expression turnedpletely cold, "Our parents have the power to distribute the property


    in the family. I have no control over that."


    "But, in this house, I am the owner. I have the final say! None of your friends are wee to my


    house. Anyone who wants toe to my house must get my consent."


    "Vi, stop talking. Since this house is not yours, you really don''t have the right. Anyways, I would


    like to leave first. I don''t want to be embarrassed."


    That girl didn''t really mean that she would ask her friend toe, she just wanted to provoke Vi.


    She couldn''t stand looking at Vi being so proud


    As soon as the entric girl left, other friends who were eating the sashimi with forks started to


    make sarcastic remarks.


    "Vi, this will be your fault. The house is not yours, but you are pretending to be rich and saying it


    is yours. Don''t you find it humiliating now?"N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    "That''s right. Just tell us that it belongs to your sister. We won''t say anything. We won''t look down


    on you either! After all, such arge unit in the Bay Hall will be very expensive!"


    "Furthermore, didn''t you say that your whole family dotes on you, Vi? You used to show off by


    saying that your sisters and brothers will give you everything that you ask for. It seems that isn''t the


    truth!"


    Those words from the friends were very provoking to Vi and she was mad.


    She rushed to Adeline angrily, with her hips akimbo, condescendingly looking down at Adeline who


    was sitting on the sofa.


    "Are you satisfied now?"


    Adeline slowly crossed her leg, and looked at her gracefully, but didn''t respond.


    The helper in the back kitchen got a general idea after listening to their conversation. He coughed


    twice and continued to remind Edith and Vi to pay the bnce.


    Vi red at Adeline and said, "Hurry up! Pay the money! Isn''t it embarrassing enough?"


    Adeline smiled slightly and responded, "That makes you both the mother and daughter."


    Vi frowned and she felt something not right, "What do you mean?"


    "I mean that you will never learn to be polite. One asked me to pay the money, and the other called


    me by my full name without even addressing me as her sister. I am not expecting you to beg me for


    help as a family, but before asking others to do something, isn''t there some basic manners?


    At that moment, Hannah, who had encouraged Vi toe to her sister''s house couldn''t help but


    speak out.


    "Ms. Burton! You are my sister''s colleague. I''ll respect you as my sister too. As a family, do you


    really want to be so calctive?"


    "It''s just that your sister invited her friends toe to the house to have fun and have a meal. Since


    you are so rich, what do you make it such a big deal?"


    "Isn''t it because you marry a rich man, therefore you are looking down at your sister and mother


    now? Why are you being so fussy?"


    "Is this your way of hospitality? How can a person like you be someone else''s teacher?"


    Vi nodded and echoed, "That''s right!"


    "Look at what you did to your family today, if I capture it and post it on the Inte, can you imagine


    what theizens will say? Don''t forget that you have just done being cyberbullied not long ago!"


    As she said that, Hannah took out her mobile phone and threatened Adeline.


    She was still thinking about bringing her friends over in the future. So, she had to get Vi''s sister


    in control!


    Adeline was unhappy with those who like to capture everything and posted it on the Inte. Her


    expression changed slightly when she heard that.


    Seeing that, Hannah raised the corners of her mouth triumphantly and approached her a little closer


    with her mobile phone.


    "Pay the money or wait to be cyber bullied. Your choice!"
