Chapter 218
A man dressed in a suit walked over. He was the hall manager. He asked coldly, “Leah, what happened? Why are so many
people here?” Before this, the hall manager named Bill Horton heard the commotion coming from over here. When he saw the
scene, he could guess what had happened. The waitress saw that the hall manager was here. She bowed and said, “Mr.
Horton, this madam smashed six bottles of a customer’s Lafite. I’m handling this.” When Bill heard this, he nodded and did not
say anything. He even exchanged a few words with Joshua. However, when his eyes landed on the smashed bottles on the floor,
he started to panic. “How much did you ask them to pay? 42,000 bucks?” Bill asked frantically. The waitress nodded her head.
“Yes, Mr. Horton. Lafite. 7,000 bucks per bottle, so it’s 42,000 bucks for six.” Slap! Bill slapped the waitress across her cheek and
roared, “Are you f*cking blind? 7,000 bucks per bottle? Look at the year of the wine!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe slap was so sudden that the waitress was stunned. Tears welled up in her eyes as she started to
stammer. Bill’s eyes were wide in anger. Then, he turned around with a smile on his face. He said to
Joshua, “I’m sorry, Sir.
The waitress is new, so she doesn’t know anything. These are our latest batch of Lafite. They are a
part of the collector’s edition from the year 1787.
There’re just six bottles in this entire city. Each of them costs 110,000
pounds.” Crack! The room fell silent. “What? 5.76 million yuan? Are you f*cking kidding me?” Joshua
exploded. Were they not just bottles of f*cking wine? Yolanda was beyond shocked. She jumped out
and yelled at Bill while pointing at him, “Damn it! I didn’t expect Arc de Triumph to be so shameless!
You’re trying to overcharge the customers!” The crowd was so shocked that the colors from their faces
were slowly being drained. What the heck? A bottle of wine that cost 960,000 bucks? Six bottles would
be 5.76 million bucks! This was daylight robbery! Bill’s face fell. He tugged on his suit and picked up a
smashed bottle from the floor calmly. He said,
“Everyone, look closely. The year is written here clearly. If you don’t believe me, you can check how
much a bottle of Lafite from 1787 costs online. I’m only telling everyone that there are only six bottles in
this entire city. These are genuine goods at fair prices. Arc de Triumph had been operating for so many
years, and we’ve never lied to our customers. If you think that I’m lying, you can call the market
regulators to come and investigate us anytime.” Bill’s face was despicable. These people had no
experience in life. If they did not even know a 1787 Lafite, who were they to talk about alcohol? Joshua
was shocked. He took the glass shard and indeed, ‘1787’ was clearly printed on the label. However, he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwould not give in to this without a fight. These bottles of wine cost f*cking 5.76 million bucks! His
company only had a current account of more than three million every month. How would he pay for
this? Joshua started to panic. He said to Yolanda while stammering, “Um, Yolanda, you’re in big
trouble! 5.76
million! I… I can’t afford that.” When Yolanda heard that, she grabbed onto Joshua and wailed, “Josh, they’re lying! Those things
don’t cost 5.76 million bucks! They must be bluffing. We’ll just pay 40,000 bucks!” How could she not panic? If this was real, she
would not be able to pay for them even if she sold her body. “Bluffing?” Bill’s face turned cold as he said, “Madam, please ask
around. When did Arc de Triumph ever lie to our customers?
You’re not paying, right? Then I can only call the cops and let them handle this.” When Joshua heard that they were going to call
the cops, he stood at one side timidly. He did not want to get involved in this anymore. Yolanda wailed and begged, but it was of
no use. That was almost six million bucks!
Which sugar daddy would be dumb enough to pay for her? However, Philip, who had been standing there quietly the entire time
opened his mouth suddenly. He said, “Um, why don’t you just let this go for my sake?”
