Chapter 216
Yolanda crossed her arms and scolded angrily, “I wouldn’t have invited him if I knew that this would happen. I didn’t think that
he’s so shameless. What is he talking about? Buffer? If he knows Buffer, then I know Jack Ma!”
“Yeah, Philip is such a poser. How disappointing.” A few of them started scolding him to calm the alarm in their hearts. Joshua’s
face was glum. His face froze as he chuckled slightly. F*ck! The gathering had been ruined by Philip. How should they f*cking
continue this? No one had the mood to eat anymore. Yolanda sat there for a while and pondered. She wanted to see if Philip was
really that rich. Yolanda slipped out of the room with an excuse and started wandering around the restaurant. Then, she bumped
into a waitress when she was not paying attention. In an instant, six expensive bottles of red wine fell onto the ground. They were
all broken into pieces.
The waitress was shocked. They were the Lafites that a customer ordered.
There were six bottles in total, so they were worth 40,000 bucks! Now that they were all broken, she
had to take responsibility. Immediately, the waitress was enraged. She looked at Yolanda who was
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttrying to escape while pretending nothing had happened and grabbed her. She yelled, “Are you trying
to run? Madam, you smashed six bottles of Lafites! Please compensate us immediately.” “What? Stop
talking nonsense. I’m warning you, I didn’t bump into you. You were the one who dropped and broke all
of them. Stop falsely accusing me.” Yolanda shook her head furiously. She was frantic. She wanted so
badly to run away. She knew she could not feel guilty right now. She had to look strong and powerful.
Hence, she started to point at the waitress’ nose and yelled. That waitress did not want to show her
weakness either. The two of them started arguing heatedly. Immediately, a group of people started
gathering around them while gossiping and pointing at them. “Not you? Alright, let’s look at the security
footage then!”
the waitress said loudly. This time, Yolanda panicked. She immediately apologized, “I-I didn’t do it on
purpose. It was an accident.” Yolanda looked like a beauty with a tear-stained face. She looked so
pitiful and wronged.
“You didn’t do it on purpose? Why didn’t you admit it just now? Now you’re saying it’s an accident. I
think you did it on purpose!” The waitress was about to go insane from anger. She had never seen
anyone like this.
This woman refused to own up for her mistakes. The waitress said, “Stop spewing rubbish. Pay for the
damages now.” “Yeah, that woman is such a lying b*tch.” “Hehe, she looks so pretty but she’s a liar.”
“This woman brings so much shame to all womankind.” The crowd started criticizing Yolanda. Their
eyes were filled with disdain and contempt. Yolanda started sobbing from anxiousness. She felt even
more frantic now, especially when so many people were criticizing her. She wailed, “I’ll pay! I’ll pay for
everything, okay? Stop yelling at me!” Yolanda was scared, but at the same time, she was also feeling
frantic. However, the criticisms did not stop. Even if she was at fault, it was not necessary for them to
lecture her like this, right? Was it not enough that she owned up to her own mistakes and agreed to pay
them back? Did she need to kneel and beg for forgiveness as well?
“Alright, Madam, please look closely. There are six bottles of Lafite here.
One bottle is 7,000 bucks, so the total is 42,000 bucks. Madam, are you paying with cash or card?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What? 42,000 bucks? Impossible! You’re scamming me!” Yolanda was shocked. Tears rolled down her
cheeks like pearls on a broken string. 42,000 bucks? Where would she get so much money? “Do you
think the Arc de Triumph Hotel will scam you? You don’t want your dignity, but we do. We still need to
do business.” That waitress was fighting a battle of words. Even so, she was extremely calm. Yolanda’s
legs were shaking from fear. She kept on looking at the floor. She did not have that kind of money. She
could not even take out 2,000 bucks, let alone 42,000! “I… I don’t have the money. Can you give me a
few days?”
Yolanda asked while crying. “No!” the waitress replied coldly. “I think you should just call the cops. I think she spent all her money
on her face.” “Yeah, just call the cops.” The crowd said coldly. They were just here for the drama.
Plus, it was fun watching a pretty woman making a fool of herself. Yolanda started to break down. She wailed and said, “No!
Don’t call the cops.”
Yolanda’s family was not rich. This 40,000 was the annual income of her family. “Pay up, then,” the waitress said. Yolanda was in
a state of despair, and everyone was still criticizing her harshly. She felt like her world was crumbling in front of her eyes. “I… I
don’t have the money.” At the same time, Philip ended his call and walked past them. He hesitated and walked into the crowd.
Then, he understood what was going on. He said to the waitress, “I’ll pay for her.”
