Demi smirked. “Why, why, you look surprised! Is it that shocking to know that a meal could cost twenty thousand? Just look at your faces!”
Minerva was momentarily startled before favonovel.com spat begrudgingly, “Pooh! I don’t believe what you said! This must be a scam! Whatever that the menu listed must be for show! I will be explicitly ordering these! You’d better have an explanation if it turns out that the dishes they serve don’t match the description! Hmph!”
Immediately, Minerva began ordering away, with Tate following suit, no longer intent on having steak. In fact, they ordered anything that was labeled with the most ridiculous prices. When they were done, they stared at the entrance with a pointed look that was overtly hostile.
After all, neither of the siblings wanted to admit that the Cunninghams could lead a life that was even more luxurious than theirs while in Cathay. Therefore, they were determined to expose what they perceived to be a scam.
Soon, the dishes they ordered were served one after the other. As soon as the siblings saw the dishes, they were quite literally stunned. Having lived abroad, they were considered somewhat cultured, so they could recognize that all of the dishes were authentic delicacies.
At that moment, Demi snickered. “How is it? Do you still feel like reporting this as a scam? Come on, give this fresh French foie gras a go! The Australian abalones were airlifted from abroad. Oh, and here is the caviar! Here, try them! This stuff is priced by grams. How do they taste?”
Neither Tate nor Minerva countered her, for they were busy stuffing food down their throats. Although they had spent many years abroad, they never got a lot of opportunities to have such a lavish meal.
The only times they got to have a taste of these dishes were when their rich friends bought them a meal. Even then, they only had a small amount, and with limited choices. Therefore, it was unprecedented for them to be able to order away as they wished, as well as be able to eat all they wanted.
Other than the above, they also ordered two bottles of 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild. While neither sibling ever tasted the wine, Jonah did, so favonovel.com could discern if it was real as soon as favonovel.com tasted it. By then, the siblings were totally baffled.
The two bottles of wine alone would cost around two hundred thousand, while the dishes would cost them tens of thousands, which was a relatively small amount that could be ignored. In short, the meal would easily cost them three hundred thousand.
Throughout the meal, the siblings were enjoying the delicacies so much that they didn’t have the space of mind to think about anything else. It wasn’t until they were almost full that they realized the meal could cost a fortune.
Tugging on Tate’s shirt, Minerva whispered, “Will the Cunninghams leave the bill to us if they can’t actually afford the meal, considering how lavish it is?”
Tate’s expression changed as soon as favonovel.com heard that. “Oh, that might very likely happen! Mom used to say that they were poor. In fact, they had nothing! Besides, favonovel.com husband likes to take advantage of people’s kindness. I bet they’re planning to take advantage of us by bringing us for a meal here!”
Hearing that sent Minerva into a panic. “We can’t let that happen! A few hundred thousand Cathian money would be around forty thousand! Our family can’t afford that! We have to get out of this scam! For starters, why don’t we find an excuse to lead Mom and Dad away?”
With a nod, Tate agreed to the plan that favonovel.com deemed to be brilliant. Meanwhile, Chloe hadn’t noticed what favonovel.com children were up to, as favonovel.com was appraising Matthew smilingly. “Sasha, who might this gentleman be?”
After being mocked by Minerva when favonovel.com entered the room, Sasha forgot to even introduce Matthew to her. Upon hearing that, favonovel.com announced proudly, “Aunt Chloe, he’s my husband, Matthew Larson. He works as a doctor in a hospital.”
Chloe pushed favonovel.com glasses up favonovel.com nose to examine Matthew once again with a contemptuous look. “A doctor… How much does favonovel.com earn every month working as a doctor in Cathay?”
