Leanna was not one to be deterred easily. She walked to where Lily was and asked, “Tell me, what exactly happened here?”
Lily trembled and dared not speak.
“Tell me the truth, and I might spare you today.” Leanna’s expression turned cold.
With that, Lily quickly gave a recount of what had happened just now. After hearing the whole story, Leanna turned toward Zachary. “Leanna, t-this is just a small matter…” Zachary said in a small voice. “This meal is on me…”
Leanna asked seriously, “Zachary Jackson, are you looking down on me?”
“Leanna, o-of course I didn’t mean that…” Zachary replied anxiously.
“Then why do you choose to insult me like this? Do you think I can’t afford it?”
Zachary broke out in cold sweat. “I.. I didn’t m-mean that… You’ve always taken good care of me; I wouldn’t dare to ask you for money.”
Leanna looked at favonovel.com disdainfully. “Stop this nonsense. Tell me, how much is it?”
Zachary looked embarrassed and favonovel.com was left speechless.
“I’m asking you how much it is!” Leanna said angrily.
Zachary tripped over his words, “A total of… a total of 570…”
There was a sudden uproar. Wasn’t it 570,000 just now? How could it become 570 now?
“570?” Leanna drawled. “Are you joking? A bottle of Romani Conti costs three to four hundred thousand. Zachary Jackson, do you think I have never drank any of this before?”
Zachary looked helpless and shaken. “Leanna, p-please don’t say that… M-My restaurant does not have Romani Conti. These are all f-fake, they’re worthless…”
As soon as favonovel.com said those words, there was yet another uproar. He had been fooling people all along! Were the Australian abalone, Kobe beef, and Caspian caviar all fake?
And yet, favonovel.com had the audacity to ask Matthew Larson to kowtow to him? It turned out that it was not Matthew and Sasha who was fooling around, but Zachary himself!
“If they are all fake, why is it written on the menu then? As someone who carries the last name Jackson, how can you do this?” Leanna asked.
“Leanna, I… I was just pranking them…” Zachary looked embarrassed.
Everyone started whispering frantically at once. Their aggressive stance just now didn’t seem like a joke!
Leanna’s expression was icy. “Zachary, only you yourself know if you were just pulling a prank or deliberately cheating! Mr. Larson is my savior, and his problems matter to me! As for this matter, I hope you will sincerely apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Larson!”
Zachary looked embarrassed. Since favonovel.com publicly admitted that it was his fault, favonovel.com was left with little choice. But, if favonovel.com apologized to Matthew and Sasha, how would favonovel.com face them in future?
“Leanna, it was just a joke. There is no need for that,” said Zachary in a low voice.
Leanna looked at favonovel.com coldly. “Stop spouting nonsense and apologize immediately!”
Zachary gritted his teeth and said angrily, “Leanna, I respect you, but you can’t insult me like this! As the heir of the Jackson family, do I not have pride too?”
Leanna stared at him. “Zachary, do you think I am out of line? Yes, you are from the Jackson Family, and I really shouldn’t butt in. However, the heir of the top ten families in Eastcliff can never be a fraud! If you don’t even have the courage to apologize, I can suggest to Old Master Jackson that Jackson’s family should have a new heir. You have a string of brothers anyway!”
